worked in a railroad yard in Cincin

| the yard served a plate lunch free II
you bought two beers or spent ter
\ cents over the bar. The man did not
| drink. so he would go to the saloon
1 every day at noon n spend his ten
cents on two packs of tobacco. Then
they would serve him a lunch. The
man did not chew, 50 when he got
back to the yard he would sell the
two packs of tobacco for a dime. He
used the dime next day to buy two
more packs and get lunch. Then he
| would sell the tobacco again. In
this way he ate lunch for 500 days
for nothing and still had his origina-
dime. This Is a r story.

heated season, creating noxious va

noxious insects, nuisance and a

are entirely ignored by health officer

NATIcN

Ninety-nine per cent OF pollen is
carried by insects, except in corn.
There are three kinds of blossoms,
seIf-fertile, part-fertile and self-ster-
lie.
Most varieties of apples and pears
pollenize each otl:er.
Among the cherries, the Bing, Roy
al Ann and Lambert are sterile. The
pollenizers are the Black Tartarian,
Black Republican and Waterhouse.
Bings, Royal AIMS and Lamberts
will not pollenize themselves or each
other. The others make good pollen
izers for ALL
The Black Republican is an early
cherry and will bring good price in
the market, but is more subject to the
frosts than either of the other two pol
lenizers.
The Black Republican, while a poor
market cherry is quite frost-resistant,
and serves as protection from the
birds as they will eat this cherry in
preference to the larger varieties.
The Waterhouse is good pollcnizer
especially for Royal AIMS, as in many
cases the canneries will accept the
Waterhouse for canning along with
the Royal AIMS.
The Tragedy pr'une is early on the
market and brings good price, but
is more or less sterile.
The Gilman is good pollenizer for
the Tragedy and is also one of the
leading early plums for shipment.
The Grand Duke prune is also a
good pollenizer for the Tragedy. 1t
goes on the market later, following
the Hungarian and brings a fair price.
The table below shows the effect on
French and Imperial prunes with and
without bees, and also in the open or

chard, which shows that the French
prune is self-fertile when there are
sufficient insects to carry the pollen;
and that the Imperial prune is sterile
and needs pollen from other varieties
in order to set the fruit:
/. French prune, under tent with bees,
1906 per cent fruit set; without bees,
1.04 per cent set; in the open orchard,
$50 per cent fruit set.
With the Imperial prune, under a
tent with bees, 1.69 per cent fruit set;
without bees, 90 per cent set; in the
open orchard, 7.20 per cent fruit set.
Which all goes to show that the eff
fects of -pollenation increases the
set of fruit, increases the uniformity
of the crop and decreases the drouth
injury.
So, protect the bees. Don't spray
any of the fruit blossoms with poison
Gus spray while the nectar is flowing.
If there are cover crops in the orchard
from whose blossoms the bees gather
honey and the blossoms are in bloom
at the time of spraying, the cover crop
should be moved just prior to spraying
in order to protect the bees.
All fruit growers who wish to have
their fruit trees grated this spring
should advise me. If you have your
own cuttings or scions, cut them now
and bury them about one foot deep
on the north side of building or put
them in cold storage. Those who want
cuttings to pollenize sweet cherries
or Tragedy prunes can get them if
they make application to me at once.
I will also make arrangements to get
someone to do your grating.
