NEW PUBLICATION SOUNDS
PROMISE 70 RORCHARDING.

Lexington, Ky. - With decided re-
duction from 1910 to 1920 in the num-
Der Of fruit trees in Kentucky, as wei
as the United States, better care OF
bearing orchards should return Their
owners increased profits while the
planting Of new orchards promises 10
be a sound investment, according to
a new circular which has just come
of the press at the College Of Agricul-
ture and which is being distributed free
to interested farmers.
"This reduction has decreased the
quantity Of fruit produced and has re-
suited in relativel high prices" A. ].
Olney and H. R. Niswonger, joint
authors Of the publication, point out.
Extensive paintings probably will be
made when the country is restored to
normal conditions but several years
will be required to bring the number
Of bearing trees back to that Of 1910.
1t seems opportune, therefore, to
stress the importance Of fostering the
orchards now of bearing age"
At best AN over-production Of fruit
could not take place until new plant
ing are made and brought into bear
ing, the authors point out. Possible
ties for such a condition are made
ever more remote by the death each
year of a certain number Of young
trees, limited acres to which CONNER
cial fruit production are confined, in
creasing demands for fruit and the alb
sence of sudden fluctuations in the in
dustry, they continue.
Among the subjects discussed in the
circular, which is wei ILLUSTRATED and
detailed, are preparation for an
orchard. the site and soil, nursery
stock. planting use of dynamite and
iillers, selection of varieties for home
and commercial orchard, soil manage
ment, care OF young orchards. clean |
culture with cover crops, intercrop- |
ping, care OF bearing trees, the sod
mulch system, use of clovers, fertil-
zers for different kinds OF orchards,
pests, rodents. spraying, fungicides,
insecticides and grating.

, SEASONAL TIPS
, FOR GARDENERS.

In order to have plants for trans
planting about the last of July, 1t Is
necessar to have late cabbage seed
sown by June l. Flat Dutch. Louis
Vile Drumhead and Succession are
good late varieties, according to gard
eners at the College of Agriculture.
Late plants should be set about two
feet apart in rows that are from two
to three feet apart depending upon
the kind of cultivation that is to be
practiced. Horse cultivation requires
that the plants be set about three feet
apart.
sweet potatoes can be set in the
field almost any time after May 10.
The plants are set about Is inches
apart ON ridges that are from three
and one-half to four feet apart. THIS
crop REQUIRES from $50 to 10 days in
which to mature.
Failure to set the plants deep
enough is common mistake made in
transplanting tomatoes to the field 1t
does no harm to pull off few OF the
lower leaves and set the plants as
much as five inches deep. This places
the roots in soil containing more
moisture than that found near the
surface and thereby increases the
bearing season of the plants.
BY planting the seed about May 10,
it is possible to have celery plants 10
set out about July l, Since the seed is
slow to terminate, it is best to plant
it only on soil that is in good condition
and barely cover it with soil. 1t is
good idea to cover the box with
cheesecloth until after termination
takes place, care being taken to see
that the seeds have plenty OF centila-
ton and water whenever needed.

EASY FOR BOY TO
MASTER MOTORCYCLE

1t is probably safe to say that
the ambition is harbored in the
breast of every older, red -blooded
American boy to own a motor
cycle. 1t is probably also a fact
that many Of the rising genera
tion consider the motorcycle a
complicated piece of mechanism.
The contrary is true. To the form
er bicycle rider especially-and
where is the young fellow who
has not owned and treasured a
bike-the handling of a motor
cycle soon becomes simple. The
sidecar outfit makes 1t easy for
anyone, of course, whether the
knack of two-wheeled equilibrium
has been acquired or not. Some
beginners will naturally become
their mounts before others be-
adept in the manipulation OF
cause they are of mechanical
turn of mind by nature. The ar
lrangement of the controls and
steering and handling of the en-
tire machine is so simple, how
ever, that any normal young man
should easily acquire the ability
to handle them skillfully.

NOISY MOTORCYCLE
is UNNECESSARY

The noisy motorcycle is official
ly taboo. There never was any
legitimate need for rider to
travel with his machine, especial
ly within the limits Of any city or
town, with his muffler open,
thereby causing the motor to emit
stream of roaring explosions in
to the atmosphere. 1t has been
proven time and again that there
is no appreciable loss of power
under all normal conditions If
the exhaust of the motor is muf-
fled--in other words, if the muf-
fler is kept closed. The results
just announced Of a series of tests
made by a prominent motorcycle
manufacturer still further SUBJ
stantiates this contention. Com
parative tests of motor efficiency
of motors with muffled and un-
hindered exhausts were made, un-
der all conditions of load and
speed. The engineers who super
vised the tests issued the state
Ement that under the normal con-
ditions, there is no material loss
in motor efficiency. Motorcycles
are designed and built to run
smoothly and quietly. Wherever
the NOISY" motorcycle appears
it may be assumed that the oper
ator is at fault. He has a false
conception of the use Of the oper
muffler, or else 1t is plain indif.
ference that causes him to in
dulge in this motoring evil.

Time was when motorcycling as
