STOCK NEEDS
WINTER PROTECTION

That it is better for the fruit grow
er, whether he be amateur or COM
mercial grower, to secure his young
nursery stock in the spring, shortly
before planting time, rather than to
order in the fall and then have to
store his trees over the winter, is the
advice given out by ". R. Gardner,
head of the horticultural department
at the Michigan Agricultural College.
Danger Of freezing, where the in
dvidual has inadequate storage ia
cilities, make spring delivery advis-
able. In this way the commercial
nurseryman holds the nursery stock
over winter in his storage cellar, de-
hvering to the farmer in good condi-
tion in the spring.
Michigan commercial fruit grow
ers generally realize that in this state
nursery stock should be planted in
the spring rather than in the fall" ("
said Professor Gardner. "Many anna
teurs, hawever, and not a few COM
mercial growers either secure their
nursery stock in the fall and store it
through the winter themselves or
they order in the early spring SO as to
be sure to have it on hand when suit
able planting conditions arrive.
1T is usually a good plan to place
the order for nursery stock in the
fall, but it may be questioned If it is
advisable to have it shipped before
spring, because Of the fact that the
nurseryman has superior storage IA
cilities at his disposal.
Should the grower secure his nur-
sery stock in the fall, he should take
precautions to prevent the roots from
severe freezing. They will stand a
little frost, but are much more tender
than the tops. This means that they
should be heeled in deeply in well
drained soil, and it is also a good plan
to afford the tops some protection
against severe freezing by covering
them lightly with straw, corn stalks
or other litter.
Similarly, in the spring, care
should be exercised to prevent the
roots of nursery stock from freezing
Shipment should not be authorized
until danger from severe freezing
weather is past"

AN 5. 0. s. FOR
The FARMER
Editor Sentinel:


readers to the serious state in which
the farmers Of Baraga and other
counties of Michigan find themselves
at the beginning of winter.
Everywhere agencies are planning
advertising campaigns to further de-
velop the sale Of cut-over land to
prospective settlers in this section but
not one plan proposes to provide a
market for the products which these
new settlers will produce. Over-prol
duction has overtaken the farmer. His
labors are for naught. No just re-
turn awaits him for the hard efforts
and money he has expended to pro-
duee.
Other lines curtail Production. de-
stlop part Of their products and 9TH
erwise boost prices and demand, but
not the farmer.
Some years ago the South has q
surplus Of cotton and Americans in
the North were asked to save the
South from ruin by buying bale Of
cotton. We bought cotton.
This country boasts its vaunted
Cloverland and SO it is. It would de-
velop as an agricultural paradise and
buys its steaks in Chicago, its pork
chops in Milwaukee and has the nerve
TO advertise as a farmers paradise.
Now really don't you think It would
develop faster agriculturallp If it in
sisted on consuming its native pro-
DUCTS before sending its cash to other
states? Cloverland produces the best
grass-fed beef in the middle west
Why not eat it ourselves and encour-
age our farmers? It is not bit
tougher than some Chicago steaks we
have had and it is a lot more delicious
in taste.
Farmers of Baraga county have
probably over forty carloads of sur
plus beef cattle and hogs this fall. It
takes two years to produce beef
steer, and the farmer must sell for
&c to &c a pound and the railroads
take big chunk out Of that to enable
him to market them.
The railroads must have 79o re-
turn on all their stock whether water
or real value by government edict.
What about giving the farmer guar
anteed return on his investment Of
capital and labor?
Retailers in Baraga county depend
on farmers for large share Of their
business. Theirs is local business.
SO is the business of farming. Why
not reciprocate? Why not insist upon
buying the meat you use in Baraga
county and make it possible for the
men who have located on the farm
lands Of your county to go ahead and
develop into prosperous farmers.
When the farmer prospers everybody
prospers. When the farmer can't
sell his product for reasonable price
he cannot buy at any price.
Instead of planning to hunt a deer
this season, buy beef and give the
farmer chance to dispose of his sur
plus cattle and let the deer multiply
for another year.
Very truly,
A Plain Farmer.
