GOOD TREE STOCK URGED
w. n. Wicks Advises Nurseryman to
Buy Trees Near Home.

AS the nurseryman is In the bust.
ness to produce frst class trees, and
as his success usually depends upon
the development OF good orchards, he
should buy his nursery stock from the
nearest nursery that carries the quail
1ty OF goods he desires. In securing
nursery stock from a nursery nearby,
the orchardist Will be more apt to get
first quality stock than he would in
buying from great distance 1t Is
also we'll to plant young trees that are
grown under climatic conditions SINH
lar TO that into which they are to be
transplanted. The latter however. is
not such vital point as some may
presume, but it is always well to fol-
low the rule where possible
Plant One Year Old Trees.
Good nursery stock consists not
IN the short, stunted, crooked and
unhealthy specimens which are
sometimes pawned-off by nursery
brokers on the uniformed tree
planter. but consists rather of
the straight. clean, healthy, well-ma-
tured stock from three to five feet In
height with a well formed root sys-
tenn. root system to be we'll formed
should possess main root branches
uniformly distributed from the center.
These root branches being crossed or
tangled indicate poor growing condi-
lions in the nursery and are not de.
sirable.
Inspect For Root Disease.
Watch out for crown gall, hairy root
and woody aphis on the root system
1t Ia advisable to inspect the stock IN
the nursery before buying, making
sure that you will receive the same
stock and have the nurseryman pack
1t properly in boxes for shipment
Make every effort to see that your
trees are true to name.
Two things that the orchadist
should endeavor to make certain is
that he gets the stock he wants and
that 1t is Of the best quality, and he
should also endeavor to get young
trees that are grown under climatl,
conditions similar to that into when
they are to be planted

the grower TO handle this land so its
original fertility Will be restored
Where the strawberry grower is
general farmer, the best system is
come system of crop rotation. Pota-
toes, corn and melons, in fact any OF
the hoed crops are excellent to pre-
cede strawberry planting. Such crops
put the soil In excellent shape and
have the great advantage of destroy
Ing weeds Turning under cowpeas,
Glover. vetch and rye Is an excellent
practice. The legumes are prefera BILE
to other plants. They should be
turned under in late fall preceding
spring planting. Stable manure and
heterogeneous commercial fertilizers
are sometimes used to advantage, but
as a rule, the best results have been
secured by crop rotation, turning I'M
der legum1nous plants such as men.
toned above. and using acid phos-
plate or bone meal on the patch
wherever commercial fertilizer is
needed. The strawberry grower will
find that 1t pays well to put more
thought, work, and money into thor
ough preparation of soil before plant
Ing new bed. Such practice will
break up the habit Of continually look
Ing for new soil

TOBACCO WAREHOUSE OPENS
MONDAY, JANUARY nth.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Courier appears the announce
ment of the opening for business
of the Upper Cumberland Loose
Leaf Warehouse Co., at Car
thage. The tobacco growers Of
the Upper Cumberland section
have been awaiting this event
with much interest. Buyers
will be there from many points
h throughout the tobacco belt,
and as competition is the line of
trade. no doubt fancy prices will
be realized for the 1914 crop.
The warehouse here is a mag
nificent structure, covering more
than ] acre >of space. In fact,
it is the best building of it's kind
south of the Ohio river. The
management has worked inces-
sanity in order to be able to ac-
commodate abe tobacco growers
this season; they have also seen
personally the leading buyers
throughout the country and have
assurance that they will be on
hand at the opening sale which
begins at 10 O'Clock Saturday,
January 16.
We are confident that the
opening of this great enterprise
means more t o the tobacco
growers than any movement
that has yet occurred, and will
put thousands Of dollars into the
pockets of the growers of this
and adjoining counties. which,
otherwise would not have been
the case. Growers should not
be slow in taking advantage of
this home market and reap the
benefits which have been placed
within their grasp. The loose
leaf tobacco warehouses have
long since past the experimental
stage and have proven conclu-
sively that they are the greatest
boon to the growers of tobacco.
Farmers should have no hest
fancy in bringing their crops to
this market.
