MUCH INTEREST IN
SUNDAYS MEETING

Much interest has been aroused in
the food conservation Getting which
will take place at the First Methodist
church at o'clock Sunday afternoon,
and the building will likely be crowd
ed to hear Hons. Braxton Beacham
and Leroy Hodges in addresses of
note.
There will be no admission charged
and the general public is cordially
invited to attend. Both of the above
named are speakers of much ability,
and Prof. Hodges expects to tell of
some of the horrors of the European
war. He has been behind the lines,
and is one of the few men, it is said,
who has actually witnessed some of
the happenings even in Germany, and
possessing first-hand information, is
therefore capable speaker on those
lines.

F11ford Predicts Good Corn
And Sweet Potato Crops

That good crop of corn and sweet
potatoes is made is evident from Wis
iting the farms of Escambia county.
Heretofore they have been paying a
toll of at least 80 per cent. in loss to
weevil and decay.
The method for harvesting and
cutting sweet Potatoes IS simple and
inexpensive, and any farmer, it is
stated, can cure his own crop and once
cured, it will keep indefinitely. A
rouese 10x20 feet and eight feet high,
will furnish spae for storing and cur
ing $50 bushels of potatoes. Any
building on the farm can be esily con-
verified into curing house. and any
one interested can get full informa-
ton by applying to the demonstration
agent at Pensacola.

Cheap Method Of
Draining Land

II does not always take lot OF
money to drain land. During the
Farm Management survey last sum-
mer in Carroll County, Missouri.
farmer was found who had some
drains in successful operation that had
cost him nothing but his labor. This
vas on land that. had plenty of slope
SO that the question of fall in laying
his drain did not enter in. The reason
This did not cost him anything but his
labor was because he used poles in
0ead of tile. He had a large grove
q naples that furnished the poles.
He dug a ditch as though he were
going to put in tile. Instead of tile
he laid two poles in the bottom of the
ditch with third pole on top of these
two. He then threw in little straw
and weeds on top Of these poles and
plowed in the ditch. Some of this
work was done twenty-five years ago
seventeen years ago he did some more
today this drain is running a good
stream of water and draining some
bad seepy places on the hillside in his
fields.
1t is true these poles rotted out in
d few years, but this did not stop the
drain by any means. When these
drains work satisfactorily for twenty
five years, they ought to be worth
while.
A great many farmers who do not
have the money to buy tile have lots
of poles on their farms that might be
used in this way. This farmer had
q grove that was worth mighty little
to him as it stood. BY utilizing the
poles in this grove he was able to
make them worth great deal to
him.-O. r. Johnson.

known sour sorts. Their endurance
of cold corresponds more nearly to
that Of the peach. It may be doubted
whether sweet cherries as a GROUP
endure long, hot summers any better
than the sour sorts, possibly not as
we'll.
The most important sweet-cherry
producing regions are in the Pacific
Coast States, where the sour cherry
is almost unknown. East of the
Rocky Mountains the commercial
production of sweet cherries is con-
fined very largely to the Hudson
River valley, western New York, and
western Michigan. In the two latter
sections the climate is much modified
by the influence of the Great Lakes.
While sweet-cherry trees are more or
less widely distributed throughout a
large portion Of the country the
number of trees aside from those in
lively small.
In selecting a location for cherry
growing-that is, the general region
or community in which the enterprise
Is to be acknowledgement things
need to be considered with much
care. The general relation between
climatic conditions and the geographic
distribution Of commercial cherry
culture has been mentioned. AS the
fruit is very perishable, quick trans
portation to market is essential, and
also. refrigerator service If the fruit
is to be shipped long distances; and,
further, relatively large crew Is re-
quired to handle the fruit properly.
Large orchards therefore should not
be located where it is practically or
economically impossible to assemble
and care for the requisite labor to
handle the fruit properly.
Cherry trees thrive on a wide range
OF soil types, provided the soils are
we'll drained. There is, perhaps, no
fruit trees more, sensitive to the i'll
effects Of poorly drained soil than
the cherry. In many important
regions the prevailing
types Of soil are rather light-sandy,
sandy loans, and other light loans
commonly underlain with a more or
less clayey subsoil. Such soils char
acterize the areas bordering the
Great Lakes, where the most impor-
tant commercial interests east Of the
Rocky Mountains are located. How
ever. the industry doubtless has de-
ve'oped in these regions because of
the climatic conditions which are in
duced by the large bodies of water
that they adjoin rather than because
of the existence there of any particu-
lar soil types; but, as the heavier
clayey types are often extremely re-
tentive of moisture or otherwise in
drained for good results
with cherries. it obviously follows
that the comparatively light soils are
preferred for this fruit. For sweet
cherries the lighter, warmer types
Ire usually regarded as essential for
results. Soils that are es-
oecially "droughty'' and dry out ex-
,essively are unsatisfactory for either
ype of cherry. Moderately produce
i've soils give better results than those
which represent either extreme in |
ertility.
The cherry, generally speaking, has
zen profitable fruit to grow in the
ast. Largely, doubtless, because of
his, the industry has been extended
considerably in recent years In

WINTERING BEES.

Wrap each hive with layer OF tar

If a super is left on, the frames

Prevent the snow from drifting up
so as to close the entrance. for bees
need air even in the middle of the

The shipping of poultry to a COM
mission merchant or firm is quite q
common practice near large cities.
This seems to be quite a satisfactory
way. 1t has advantages and dis
advantages. A car of poultry shipped
to New York City from Kansas City
raises the price per pound from 3h
to cents, and before the consumer
gets it, it is raised III to 2 cents
more per pound. Yet the results OBJ
tanned are usually in favor Of this
method of marketing. Large COM
mission concerns have adequate ia
cilities for handling both live and
dressed poultry. thus assuring good
care of the product until 1t has been
sold. It is essential that the prod
ucts be Of the best grade possible
to get the best results.
At times poultry finds its way into
the hands of the jobber, who in turn
sells to the retailer, which means
that the products have to be exposed
and handled great deal more, hence
a decrease in quality. Finally, it is
the retailer who deals the blow that

Probably no tree fruit is grown
more widely throughout the country
than the sour cherry, or pie cherry,
as it is often called. The dist ibution
OF sweet cherries is more restricted.

cherry trees of bearing age. and
about one-half as many not OF bear

to more than one million in each Of
the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
However, in most Of the states in
which many cherries are grown the

cherries, have been made not only in
sections where previously large guam
titles have been grown for market
but also in regions not formerly
prominent in this respect. It. there
fore, follows that large numbers of
trees are just coming into bearing or
have not yet reached their full hear
ing capacity.
The most of the important com
mercial cherry-producing regions are
so located geographically that much
Of the fruit from them finds its natural
outlet through the same markets, thus
making. keen competition in seasons
Of a good crop in the several more
important sections of commercial pro-
ductioa. AS the younger orchards, of
which there are many. come into full
bearing, competition naturally may be
expected to increase rather than de-
crease, with its corresponding effect
upon the prices received by the
grower, unless there is an increase
in consumption. This possibly may
be brought about either by the cherry
becoming more popular or by reach
ing markets not fully supplied
through the usual channels of dis
tribution.
The prospective cherry grower,
therefore, will do well when seeking
a location for an orchard to take fully
into account the extent to which the
demand for cherries is supplied in the
markets that are within a convenient
radius Of any location that he may
consider Where one can locate or is
located, in a good cherry growing
section and within easy reach of a
town not we'll supplied with cherries,
