WHAT TO PLANT IN the
GREAT PLAIN AREA

Choosing the proper varieties of
fruit for planting in the Great
Plains region is one of the princi-
pal problems confronting the
grower, according to new but
letin of the U S. Department of
Agricultural Farmers Bulletin
1871 Climate conditions in this
area are especially trying to fruit
trees and the success or failure
OF the grower is very apt to de-
pend upon the care exercised in
selecting varieties.
The following fruits, many of
which have been tested with fair
success at the Akron. Colo. Field
Station. are suggested as an aid to
those who are without experience
in choosing varieties toplant in
this part of the country:
Apples

varieties of apples that may we'll

part OF this area are the Yellow

into. Maiden Blush. Gravenstein.

| Among the more promising var
ieties at the Akron Field Station
are the following: Brittlewood,
Burwood, Cheney, De Soto, Haw-
keye, Surprise, Terry, Wolf and

have been planted widely through

In parts of the northern sec

Cherries

m"ng the tree fruits for this
area are sour cherries. The
number 70 varieties commonly
grown is small, the Richmond
Montmorency, and English Nor
clio comprising nearly all the tree
that have been planted; in fact
there are probably to be found
many times more trees of single
variety-the Montmorency-thar
of all the others combined. These
varieties are successful generally

recommended for planting until

Mixed Planting Advisable
Many varities of apples, plums,
pears, cherries and other fruits
are more or less sterile with
their own pollen. Such varieti.
es, therefore, may be unfruitful,
even though they blossom album
dainty, unless planted in close pro
Ximity to other varieties of the
same kind which blossom SIM
ultaneously with them. While
not all varieties are self-sterile,
and sometimes those which are SO

be disregarded when planting
orchards or fruit gardens. 1t is
therefore always wise to select at
least two varieties of each kind of
fruit for planting, unless one has
good evidence that under his con-
ditions a variety which he de-
sires is self-fertile.

For the remaining nine months
salaries will continue in full force

Upon the return from duty, en-

of twelve months further consider

Instructions Broad Enough.

Washington-A report is in circu-
lation in Washington that Maj. Gen.
Pershing, commander Of the Ameri-
a punitive expedition now in Mex
leo. had sent a force of troops to the
relief Of Gen. Trevino, commander Of
the Carranzista army engaged in de
Tending Chihuahua City. Secretary
Baker declined to comment on the
report, which gives the impression
that it has foundation.
If American troops have been sent
to Chihuahua City, the reason for this
action is plain. Officially, they will
not be ordered to afford relief to the
Carranza forces, but to make an eff
fort to capture Francisco Villa, who
is said to be personally in command
of the contingent that has been trying
to capture Chihuahua City, and was
said to have returned there after hav-
ing been driven off in an engagement
last week.
One of the purposes Of the Perish
ing expedition was to "get Villa"
dead or alive, and with definite know
ledge that he is near Chihuahua City,
Cen. Pershing might feel his instruc-
tons required him to send troops in
t6at direction.
1t is doubtful, however, if Gen.
Pershing took action of that kind
without knowledge and consent of the
Carranza authorities.
