PLANT FRUIT TREES At ONCE
ApoIe Trees Planted in the Fall Make
Twice as Good Growth as Tnose
Planted in Spring.

(By J. c. WRITTEN. Horticulturis''
University of MISSOURI
All perfectly hardy trees should Do
transplanted in the fall rather thah
the following spring, If we can rely
upon the results of tests made at the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta-
ton. Jonathan apple trees planted
in the fall made nearly twice as gooo
a growth as those planted the next
spring. OF cherry trees transplanted
in the fall Of 1913 every one llved'
while only third of those planted LII
the spring of 1914 survived the ory
summer of that year. Those when
did live made only quarter as good
a growth as those planted the fali
before. This comparison is based
mainly on the terminal growth or
length added to the branches which
is very important means of telling
how an orchard is thriving. Every
peach tree and others less hardy than
apple and cherry trees do better when
fall planted in the southern quarter
of Missouri. Fall planting is better
even farther north il followed by a
mild winter, but a severe winter Is
likely to kill the trees.
In orcharding fruit trees for fall
planting, insist that they be dug and
shipped just when the leaves begin
to fall and the remaining leaves can
be easily stripped from the nursery
stock. These young, rapidly growing
trees hold their leaves from two weeks
to a month longer than those in the
orchard which have been bearing for
some time. During most seasons the
best time for transplanting is during
the first half of November, but plant
ing any time before the ground freezes
has been found to give better results
than spring planting.

CHAPTER v.

But my first night in the hunters
steerage was also my last Next day
Johansen, the new mate, was routed
from the cabin by Wolf Larsen, and
sent into the steerage to sleep there
after, while l took possession of the
tiny cabin stateroom, which, on the
first day of the voyage, had already
had two occupants. The reason for
this change was quickly learned by
the hunters, and became the cause of
great deal Of grumbling on their
part. II seemed that Johansen, in his
sleep, lived over each night the events
of the day. His incessant talking and
shouting and believing of orders had
been too much for Wolf Larsen, who
had accordingly foisted the nuisance
upon his hunters.

CARING FOR BLIGHTED TREES
Cut Out and Burn All Diseased Twigs
and Branches-AIways Use Ster-
iIized KNIFE or Saw.

The only thing that can be done to
blighted trees is to cut out and burn
all blighted twigs and branches of
pear, apple and ounce. The cutting
should be farther down the twigs and
branches than the discoloration Of the
wood is seen. The knife or saw should
be sterilized after making each cut
so as to prevent injecting healthy
wood with the bacteria which cause
this disease.
This sterilizing is simple. All that
is needed is to wipe the blade clean
with a solution Of corrosive sublimate
Ia deadly poison). The solution is
easily made by dissolving a tablet in
one thousand times its weight Of wa
ter. After the cuts are made, all over
one-half inch in diameter, should be
painted with gas tar. white lead paint,
boiled linseed oil or any other mate
rial that will make an impervious coat
and thus protect the tree against de-
cay.
