'TO POLLEN|zE
CHERRY ORCHARDS
Governor Wood Good Pollenizer
for Both Royal Annes and
Bings, Says Powell

This office has been making some in.
vestigations as to what cherry to use
as pollenizer for the Royal Annes and
Bings. From observations we have
made, there is no question but what
the Governor Wood makes splendid
pollenizer for both the Royal Anne and
Bing. Along with this, we have found
number of different seedlings doing
equally good work. 1t has also been
reported to me, with good authority
that the Waterhouse cherry is es-
pecially good for the Royal Anne as
this cherry is so much like the Royal
Anne that the canneries take them as
Royal Annes. 1t is not possible for me
just now to get any buds that l am
sure are true Waterhouse cherries, as
there seems to be several strains OF
them.
Those who have orchards of more
or less maturity and which lack the
proper pollination, this is the time for
you to put buds into the trees. ]
would advise for the present that you
put the Governor Wood buds in ev-
cry other tree in one row, and then in
the next row, put good Seeding buds
as pollenizers in every other tree, hav-
ing them alternate SO that the bud
ded trees do not come directly oppo-
site each other. From eight to ten
buds to the tree is plenty and ! be-
lieve it would be more feasible to put
them in the tops Of the trees, for then
if there is no market for this pollen
izer cherry, it will not be in the way
when picking and the cherries that
you will sell will be near the ground
and easy to pick.
The reason I am suggesting seed
ling is that we have noticed where
there are seeding cherries, the birds
eat them and do not bother the good
cherries. Some people may smile and
think that this is not worththbths
SulAA tI11o 40 liOt IlOCu Va Oil lVSIkIs OOO
our observations are that it is a big
item, and that one will be surprised
at how many pounds Of ten-cent cher
ries a few birds can get away with.
The birds are unquestionably great
asset to our orchards, but they are
fond of good cherries as well as good
bugs and worms, and the only way we
can keep them from eating the best
fruit is to give them something else
that they like better. These Seeding
buds should be taken from trees that
we know are good polIenizers.
If any grower who wants to put ir
the Governor Wood, cannot get them
will advise either Prof. Meikle or my
self, we will get them for you and
send them to you free of cost.

Com Crop Severely Damaqed.

Corn Crop Severely Damaged.
 The corn crop or southern Conuecti cut is severely damaged as result Of the wind and rain storm whiet sWpet over the state In Fairfield county corn is the most important crop raised and the money loss MI be very great X canvass has beer made of the damage in Fairfield coun tv towns and large sections of the crop are found to be good for nothing except fodder for cattle The loss te corn growers in Stratford alone is estimated st S25 900. Two hundred acres of corn has been laid flat in Bridgewater. and the conditions are just as bad in many other towns in the county. In shelton. the storm is said to have been the most severe in the memory of the oldest inhabi tant; fruit trees laden with the un ripe fruit are blown down. and hun dreds of acres of alfalfa lie fit for nothing. The corn crop has suffered most severely from the storm. but the garden truck farmers and fruit growers find that their losses are go. ing to be considerable.
 Complete Loss.
 Total loss of the corn crop in the following places is reported by the Telegram Easton Monroe East Village. Weston. Shelton. Fairfield. Greenfield Hill Rldgeheld New. town. Long Hill and Milford The damage to the crop in other parts of the state and the total extent of that in the towns already mentioned can. not be ascertalned until the farmers have looked over their crops. Many of the farmers have given up their crops as total loss.
 Hartford County Escapes.
 In Hartford county and northern Connecticut. the damage was not so great as 1t was in the south and west. A correspondent in Thompsonville re- ports that the ensilage corn being taller than the other varieties. suffer. ed most from the storm. and that much of 1t is total loss. In Suffeid there was considerable damage. but it is not thought that there will be a very great loss. Tobacco suffered far more, and what corn was knocked down Is expected to right itself easily. Windsor and PoQuonoek corn is not the most important agricultural item. but there is enough in that region 10 make a good sized total for the crop. The core sp0ndents in these places do not anticipate any great damage to the crop It Is thought that the farm CTS will be able to brace the corn ap and that run crop will be har. vested. In Poquouock. however large pieces of corn were pulled un by tbe roots or the soil washed away.
