BEES OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
More Essential Factor Of PoIIination
Than Wind-Their Absence 10 A.
T.. ways Deieterious.

Professor Bailey of Cornell says
that bees are a much more important
factor of pollination than the wind,
and that their absence is always dele
terious."
In a recent bulletin the department
of agriculture says: Plant mixed va
rieties, or at least avoid the planting
of solid blocks, and be sure there are
plenty Of bees in the neighborhood to
visit the blossoms"
Professor Waugh, who experimental
as fruit-grower and not as bee
keeper, proved that. bees, as polliniz-
ers, were more reliable and much
superior to the wind. He placed panes
Of glass covered with a viscid fluid
in the orchard in order to catch the
wind-blown pollen. and the amount
caught was surprisingly small.

DON'T CROWD ORCHARD TREES
Where Planted Too Close Together
I'D" Cultivation 10 Prevented and
Spraying Made Difficult.

Misinformation is given in certain
sections concerning the proper dis
lance between trees in an orchard.
1t has been recommended by certain
uniformed nurserymen that trees be
planted about Is feet apart each way,
whereas they should be IS to 40 feet
apart.
II planted too close, they can.
not be cultivated or sprayed to good
advantage. The limbs grow upright
and make picking difficult. Further.
more. shaded portions of the tree
will not set q normal crop. ..- g.
The horticultural department of the
Nebraska Agricultural college says
that the proper distances for the diff
ferent trees are as follows: Cherries
and peaches, 20 feet; and apples, 80
to 40 feet except Whitney crab and
duchess and other upright varieties
which may be planted but Is feet
apart. .-a.
