Citrus Canker

A very interesting and instructive article by Dr. c. L. Peltier of the Ala bama extension service and eXperi- ment station regarding the suscerti- bility and resistance to citrus canhef of various citrus fruits. hybrids and their wild relatives, has recently been published in the Journal of Agricuitu- ral Research While this article is a technical one, yet 1t is of such na- ture to be especially interesting to those interested in the growing of any kind of citrus fruits.
 A copy of the publication may bs had by writing to the Bureau of Plant Industry. United States Department ct Agriculture Washington. D. c.
 Dr. Peltier has drawn the conclu- sion from his experiments with this disease that Citrus canker is appar- ently limited to those plants having edible fruits This would seem to indicate that more or less resistant Va rieties of desirable citrus fruits may be obtained by crossing up with some of the plants that do not bear edible fruits.

Home Orchard

Prof. c. c. Starcher, head of the hor- ticultural department of the Alabama Polytechnic institute. experiment sta tion and extension service, states that those who do put out home orcharus seldom give attention to the selection of Nthe proper varieties of fruit. By selecting the varieties in a haphazdrd way, says Professor Starcher, the re- suit is that one often has a super abundance of fruit for a few weeks and none at all at other times.
 Gne can easily avoid this by select ing the varieties that mature at diff .erehl times during the summer For instance, when selecting the varieties of peaches to set, if one will select the following, a succession of ripenings from late May right through till Oc- tooer may be had: Mayflower. Sneed, Arp Beauty, Carmen, Hiley, Belle of Georgia Elberta. Chinese Cling. Blood Cling, Heath Cling, Salway and Krurl- mel October.
 For apples, Professor Starcher says that by planting the following va rieties this fruit can be had all ths way from June to December. right from the trees, and if the winter va rieties are properly stored they can be had practically the year round Red Astrachan, Yellow Transparent, Eearly Harvest, Red June, Horse, Hackworth, Grimes Golden, Kinnard's Choice, Stayman Winesap, Mammoth Black. twig, Stockley and Yates

Overcome Cholera

Most of-the demonstration agents of the Alabama extension service have done much work in inoculating hogs for chol- era. In Geneva county, MT. King, the agent, now has 27 men who have been selected to help him in treating hogs against cholera in their respective neigh iborhoods. These are located in various parts of the county, with one or more men in each beat. Mir King selected these men with especial reference to their knowledge of swine and their abil- ity to handle them. These 27 men wers gotten together and given practical in- struction in the use of serum by Dr. H. c. Wilson. hog cholera specialist of the United States department of agriculture and extension service. Several days be- fore Dr. Wilson met thees men he sent to them. through the demonstration agent, list of 20 questions for them to study. These questions covered almost every phase of hog cholera work and in preparing the answers these 27 men had to inform themselves thoroughly regard ing hog cholera.
 MT. King is in constant touch with the men selected for this work. so that as- sistance can be given at any time it may be needed. When the agents and Dr. Wilson state that thees men are quaii- fled to inoculate hogs, Dr. c. A. Cary state veterinarian, issues the ma per- init, which qualities them in legal way to do this work These men only charge for their time, charging only enough to pay man to take their place while they are doing. the inoculating.
 By this systematic organization that provides competent man or men in each beat an outbreak of cholera can very often be checked before much damage is done, wheeras if it were necessary to send for some one at great distance # might spread considerably before it could be arrested.
