DWARF APPLE TREE IDEA IS
HARD HIT

Richard Wellington, assistant pomol-
ogist, University farm, st. Paul, has
no faith in the dwarf apple tree. His
disbelief is based upon experiments
tried at the New York Experiment
station. At that station three or
chards we're planted with varieties
budded upon three kinds Of stock root
paradise, Doocin, and French crab.
The first gives dwarf, the second semi
dwarf, and the third standard trees
In most cases the dwarf trees were
filters. The trees were set out i'm
1901. Mr.. Wellington had these trees
under observation from 1906 to 1913
The yield, he says, has never been
satisfactory. The reason is obvious,
he adds, for the amount of bearing
surface is much less than that Of
standard trees. Moreover there is an
increased expense for pruning and cul-
tivating, owing to the larger number
Of trees necessary, and there is an
additional danger in the fact that
Paradise trees are shallow-rooted. Con-
trary to the general opinion, also, the
fruit borne by dwarf trees is no lar
ger, higher-colored, or better-havored,
than that from standard trees.
The latest movement for dwarf ap-
pie trees began about fifteen years
ago with scare over the San Jose
scale, when it was felt that apple trees
would have to be kept small SO that
they might be covered with tents for
fumigation.

FARM FLIES ARE DISEASE PED.
DLERS

"sanitation, better sanitation 4 the
great need in the country todayyV de-
clares C. w. Howard Of the Division of
Entomology, Minnesota College Of
Agriculture, in pamphlet on the
"Control of Flies in Rural Districts. -
HIn small towns and farm districts -
says Mr.. Howard, "where no atten-
ton is given to sanitation, not even
for the fy-proofing of outdoor closets,
every chance is given for flies to gath
er infectious germs. The same rules
to fly control must be applied in
both the rural districts and the cities.
Swat the Fly campaigns and the use
Of fy-traps, while serving very valu-
able end in arousing public opinion,
They are like the medicine which the
doctor prescribes to relieve the pain
full symptoms Of a disease. We have
reached the stage in fy-control when
we are ready to prescribe not for the
symptoms, but for the causes Of the
trouble. We must destroy the flies
before they get wings; or, better still
we must prevent flies from breeding
at all.''
Fully ninetyfve per cent Of the
house flies come from horse manure,
says Mr.. Howard. Therefore, it is
vitality important that all manure We
hauled directly to the fields, not left
in piles to become breeding.spots for
flies. This involves no hardship to
the farmer, because by spreading the
manure directly he saves all Of the
most value Of fertilizing elements.
Swat the fly by abolishing the manure
pile.
Photographs and descriptions of
model closets are included in the
pamphlet mentioned. Attention is
also paid to the proper disposal Of gar,
bage.

SHORTAGE OF TRAINED PUBLIC.
HEALTH MEN

"The University Of Minnesota,
knowing that the demand for trained
public-health men will shortly exceed
the supply, has asked the legislature
for funds to allow for the technical
training Of men who wish to make a
special study of pub1ic-health prob
lems,'' says DR.. H. W. Hill, of the Min
nesota Public Health association. "The
schools Of medicine in this country can
spare men to 60 to Europe to help care
for the wounded and sick of the pres
emit war, but there are too few public
health men to go round. The need of
such men is going to increase as COM
munities become aroused to the needs
Of such men as guardians of their
health. Hence the action of the Uni
versity. Minnesota is fortunate in
having some Of the best and most ex-
Perienced Of such men, but it needs
more.''

GRUB ARMY IS READY FOR
SPRING ATTACK

A silent army is asleep in the fields
of the farmers of Minnesota. It will
farmers corn, potatoes, strawberries,
awaken before long to attack the
and hilled-crops generally. It is an
army of white grubs.
The farmers Of the state were told
last fall to get after the members Of
this army in their fields with the plow.
Those who failed to follow the advice
should keep sharp lookout this
spring. The spring plowman who sees
white grubs in his fields may take it
for granted that for every grub he
sees there are many he does not see,
and that fields in which he finds grubs
are not fit for corn, potatoes, and so
on.
Fields in clover last year, says Will
liam Moore of the Division Of Entomo-
logy, Minnesota College Of Agriculture
do not seem to be very badly infested,
while fields containing well cultivated
crops will be found to contain few
grubs, for the June beetles do not lay
their eggs in such fields. BY proper
attention to the preparation and plant
ing Of fields now, or as soon as spring
opens, injury may be avoided. After
the grub army gets to work, however,
it will be useless to attempt to do
anything to check them.

FARMERS FIND SEED LAB0RA-
TORY GOOD

Farmers are realizing the value of
the states seed-testing laboratory at
University farm, st. Paul. The re-
ports show that month for month
twice as many samples as last year
are being submitted this year for
ANALYSIS, and that the increase has
not been from seedsmen, but from
practical farmers.
The first annual report of the labor
atory has just been issued. It gives
brief review Of the history Of the
pure seed law, and its purpose, and
emphasizes the educational side Of the
work. The laboratory has found that
most of the violations of the law are
unintentional, and has, therefore, de-
voted a good deal of time to a cam
paign to acquaint seedn1en, farmers,
and the general public with the pro-
visions of the act.
The practical value Of the tests to
the farmers is shown in cases Hk- ''e
following from the records OF the Ia
boratory.
A farmer in central Minnesota sent
in sample of seed for testing, re-
marking in note that he did not be-
lieve much in it. The purity test
showed 9S.5 per cent timothy, but .23
Of l per cent Canada thistle. The ger
mination test disclosed the fact that
the timothy was worthless while the
Canada thistle gave a 100 per cent
termination. If the farmer had plant
ed that seed he would have raised no
timothy plants, but instead $500
thistles to the acre. The farmer, upon
receiving the report, wrote to the Ia
boratory, apologized for his former
reflections, and said that he WASH It
going to plant any more INFESTED seed.
Another farmer submitted some
clover seed. The purity test reveald
Canada thistle, dodder, and IA other
kinds of forei On seeds and only 74.34
per cent of pure clover.

The Northwestern Agriculturist:
If all farmers would sow vetch,
or field peas, both for fodder
and fertility, they could capture
more nitrogen from the air than is
contained in all the imports of com.
mercial fertilizers bought from foreign
countries. A plowed-under crop of
vetch puts from SIS to $45 per acre
of. fertilizer into the soil. Two such
crops per season can be grown. Cut
one for hay,-over ten tons per acre,
equal to clover,an the other pillow in,
equal to SIS worth or more of CONNER
cial fertilizer or manure.
Vetch Enriches the Soil
Vetch is equal to Alfalfa or red
clover for both fodder and fertility
and yields bigger crops. This is not
"theory'' only. The Department of
Agriculture certifes to it.
What Farmers Need
T., Is not more acres nor more labor
per acre, but greater yields per unit
Of land and labor greater profits

TOWNSHIP MUTUALS CUT IN
SURANCE COST

'Township mutual' fire insurance
companies in Minnesota on January l,
1914, were carrying insurance amount
ing to $342, 223,319, On which the an
nual premiums were $696,732. The av-
erage cost for each 500 of insurance
in force was Is cents, as compared
with an annual charge Of 46 cents rer
500 on three-year contracts by "pri-
vate' insurance companies This
meant a saving to the farmers of the
state Of 1857 900. 1t has ueen esti-
mated that the total saving for IS
years up to 1910, allowing for the ef-
feet Of competition in reducing the
rates of old-line companies and for
compound interest on the premium
charges saved from year to year, has
probably been about $20,0OO,OOO.
These figures are taken from expert
ment station Bulletin 146 on "Statis-
tics of Cooperation Among Farmers in
Minnesota by L. D. H. Weld, Chief
of the Division Of Research in Agri-
cultural Economics of the University
of Minnesota.
Fire insurance companies of this
type were among the first permanent
~ successful cooperative enterprises
organized in Minnesota, dating back to
1867. In 1873 the insurance in force
in such companies was $923,678. The
losses incurred were 1925. In 1911 in
surance in force was that given in the
foregoing. The losses incurred that
year were $513,973.

NOW Is THE TIME TO PREPA-E
HOT BEDS

While it is still too early for work
ing in the garden, a great deal OF
pleasure may come from the hotbed
and it's crops.
The hotbed should be placed, if pos
sible, on the south side of a building,
fence or good windbreak, in some part
of the grounds that will give all the
sunlight possible.
There are two ways Of making a hot
bed, says Leroy Cady, associate hor-
ticulturist, University farm, St. Paul,
In one an excavation Of two or three
feet is. made, manure is placed in this,
and frame is put over it. The meth
Cd usually preferred, however,, calls
for a frame built up of planks or
boards II or II inches wide. This is
filed to depth of ~ or Is inches with
manure. The manure is then covered
with from 4 to 6 inches Of soil, and
the whole covered with glass. This
type of hot bed is better than the pit
because, as soon as one is through with
it, it may be entirely removed.
Manure First
Procure heating horse manure. Pile
this near the spot at which it is to be
used. Turn it two or three times to
insure even heating. Then spread over
the ground to a depth of - or Is
inches. Tread it we'll, and rlace the
frame over it, Now fill the frame
with heating manure, and tread SO
that the whole mass is packed we'll.
The manure should come to within a
foot of the top of the frame, and er-
" in the season should be from IS to
"a inches deep. If the frame is set
early the greater should be the amount
of manure used. The frame should =
banked at least two feet high all
round with dry manure or straw. Place
a storm window, or better hotbed
sash, over the frame, tipping the. frame
to give an easy slope to the south.
Leave the cash on for day or two,
until you are certain the manure is
heating, then place from 4 to 6 inches
of soil on top of the manure. allow
it to stand a day or two, rake it, and
it will be ready for seed or seedlings.
A space of about six inches should be
left from the top Of the soil to the
glass to give the plants plenty Of
head room.
Soil Should Be Rich
The soil for the hotbed should be
It'll SdIucu oOll. IL 10 dill Cuc UCICC1
if some thoroughly rotted manure has
been added to it.
Early in the season two sash, in
stead Of one, may be put over the bed,
Or wooden shutters, straw, mating, or
any material that will protect the
glass may be used for added prote c.
ton.
Best Early Crops
Usually the most satisfactory early
crops to grow are Grand Rapids let
tuce, radishes, and possibly a few seed
onions, sown for transplanting later.
These crops must be ventilated during
the warm part Of the day. Open the
frame little On the side that is away
from the wind. A temperature Of from
IS to IS or 80 in the daytime is usu-
ally best maintained. Water should
be applied when the crops need it, in
the winter time, early in the forenoon,
preferably on bright sunny day, so
that the foliage will have chance
to dry off before night. The sash
should be shut down early in the af-
ternoon, before the temperature drops
very much, as this will save heat for
cool nights.
