SUCCESS IN FRUIT GROWING

juicy and sweet; high quality and
keeps well. Bush is very prolific and
hardy. Raspberries are set two feet
apart in five foot rows and require
1856 plants to the acre.
Great care and pains should be
taken with all nursery stock, and in
setting out young trees one should be
careful not to expose the roots to the
wind or the sun. Keep them well
covered with wet sacks or packing.
| IF the weather is hot and the buds
swell, be particularly careful to avoid
getting water on the buds. Prune
the roots by cutting off the small dead
fibre roots and any other bruised or
broken roots with smooth cut. The
other roots should be shortened
little. Set the trees two inches deeper
than they stood in the nursery. If
not possible to use dynamite or
blasting powder in preparing holes to
set your trees, the holes should be
dug much larger than is necessary to
give plenty of room for the roots.
Fill in with top soil first, and tread
it in firmly about the roots. If the
ground is dry, pour in several gallons
of water; usually the earth is moist
enough and too much water would be
injurious. Mound up the earth about
the trees three or four inches high;
leave this loose and unpacked to con-
serve the moisture. When fruit trees
are planted, the limbs should be cut
back about two-thirds, removing en-
tirely undesirable branches. With
two-year apple and pear, shorten the
limbs to from six to ten inches; with
one-year old apple and pear, cut off
the trunk two to three and half
feet above the ground. With cherry
trees, cut out any damaged or broken
or interfering branches. Some grow
ers cut out the central leader and all
but. three to five branches, and even
cut off the tip ends a few inches
With peach, apricot and plum trees,
cut off the trunk IL to Is inches from
the ground and shorten the limbs
back to about an inch.
Grape vines should be cut back to
two or three sound buds, and the
roots half to two-thirds. The tops
of blackberry and raspberry are
usually cut back before shipment
from the nursery. They should be
left four or five inches long.

(By H. L. Gardner.)

Strawberries are the first fruit to
ripen in the spring. Fresh or pre-
served, they are delicious and health
full, and help out with the grocery
bill. They offer quicker returns to
the grower for local and distant
markets than any other fruit. They
do well on almost any soil if well
drained, deeply worked and well
fortified. The Everbearing (Progres-
sive) is the best suited for the
county. It is one of the most widely
grown and most successful of the
everbearing varieties. The berries
are medium size, firm and delicious in
quality. The plant is unusually
healthy, vigorous, very hardy and
productive. A crop failure is i'm
possible-if an early frost catches one
set of blossoms, another is formed
Immediately. The first season the
blossoms and runners should be cut
off until the middle of July. The
usual distance for setting straw
berries is one foot apart in rows
three feet eight inches apart and re-
quires 1880 plants to the acre.
Blackberries are profitable for local
markets, but cannot be shipped dis
tances. Even for nearby markets
they must be picked before entirely
ripe. They are much appreciated
from the home garden for eating
fresh, for canning and preserving,
and for cordials, but be careful of
the knock. The Ell Dorado (Midsea-
son is large, jet black, sweet and
melting, without the hard core; very
hardy, vigorous, and productive
An extra good keeper. The dewberry
(Lucretta)-very early-is low
growing trailing blackberry, large,
soft and sweet, with no hard core.
Can be grown over walls, trellises, or
rocky slopes. Is quite hardy and
very productive. Blackberries set
five feet apart in rows five feet
apart require 1,742 plants to the
acre.
An excellent variety of the rasp-
berry family is the st. Regis. (Red)
--everbearing -which is the only sue
cessful ever-bearing or "two-crop'
variety. Begin to ripen with the
earliest and continues well on into

BEARSKIN CLUB
HOUSE OPENED
IT HAS BEEN BOUGHT FOR THE
BENEFIT OF EMPLOYEES OF
THE GUS BLASS DRY GOODS
COMPANY.

The new club house at Bearskin
Lake, purchased and equipped at an
approximate expenditure of $4,000
by the Gus Blass Company, for it's
employees, was dedicated Sunday,
when 400 employees of the firm
journeyed to the new place of
recreation in automobiles and trucks
to spend the day.
The new structure is modern in
every respect and nothing has been
overlooked, nor expense spared, in
making it an ideal place for the en-
ployes to spend their leisure hours
during the summer.
At recent meeting the board of
control was elected as follows: A. S.
Pike, P. e. Douglas, R. B. Pritchett,
Louis Schneider, M. NJ Murphy, A. E.
Sparkling, Mrs. G. C. Sugrue, Mrs. e.
J. Rauchkolb and Miss Clara StaehIe.
This board is in charge of the club
house.
The resort is situated in beautiful
location on the banks of the Bearskin
Lake in Young township. Tennis
courts, baseball diamonds, basket ball
and an athletic field have been pro-
vided. The fishermen will be delight
ed with the many steel row boats,
canoes and fishing boats that are
placed at their disposal. A large
motor boat, with seating capacity
of about 20 persons, has been pur-
chased for the employees.
The club house itself is a large
two-story structure. It is equipped
with modern lighting system,
plumbing, hot and cold water, show
ers, tubs and large screened sleep
ing porch. To the rear of this
structure are many automobile
garages.

Maj. Henry F. FREEDMAN, assistant

Arkansas Infantry, at Newport News,
when they disembarked from the
transport last Monday, states in a
telegram to state headquarters that
the men will entrain on Friday and
expect to reach Little Rock some
time late Sunday night or early Mon
day morning.
Major FREEDMAN arrived at New
port News in time to welcome the
Arkansas heroes and to arrange for
their comfort and entertainment. He
was on the ship which went out to
meet the transport and shouted
through megaphone the states
first greeting to the old Second, of
which almost every man is personal

The War Camp Community Service

HELPING FARMERS

H. M. COTTRELL POINTS OUT
WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISH
ED THROUGH A PROPER
SPIRIT OF COOPERATION.
BY H. NJ Cottrell,
OF the Arkansas Profitable Farming
Bureau.

bureau.
All officials of the administration
at Washington are convinced that
production in the United States must
be increased, that the people must
have more money, otherwise the
burden of war taxes will become
serious. 1t is realization of this fact
that has caused the Department of
Agriculture to decide to establish the
new division of farm management and
economics. The principal object of
this is to aid the farmer in producing
his crops more cheaply.
Another encouraging feature was
that all the officials of the Depart
ment of Agriculture stressed the idea
that in all agricultural improvement
work, the cooperation of the bankers
and business men is necessary. This
is the very idea on which the Ark
ansas Profitable Farming Bureau was
founded. In conversation with men
from all parts of the United States, I
found that they were familiar with
the work of the Arkansas bureau and
that this state generally is given
credit for having been the pioneer in
this work.
was asked what were the great
est needs of Arkansas to enable the
states farmers to increase their pro-
duction and to reduce their costs of
production. told the meeting that
the capital invested in farming in this
state should be increased by $780,
100000 within the next five years to
enable Arkansas farmers to become
really effective. I pointed out that
the average cultivated area on the
Arkansas farm is Sd acres and that
this is not large enough to enable
the farmer and his family to make a
good living. But before the farmer
can cultivate larger area he must
have more and better implements and
more teams and other live stock.
also mentioned the fact that practi-
cally the entire state needs fertilizer
but has been unable to get it, al
though the United States is sending
fertilizer abroad. suggested that
the Department of Agriculture should
investigate whether it would not be
advisable to forbid the export of fer
tilizer and to see that the United
States farmers are supplied.
I also mentioned the fact that near
ly all soils in Arkansas need lime and
that the Department of Agriculture
could do valuable work if it could
devise a plan for getting lime to the
farmers at the cheapest figure pos
sible.
