Fruit Growing Industry
Discussed in Bulletin

complete and comprehensive dis
cussion of the fruit growing industry
for Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee
is contained in n new bulletin issued
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture as Department Bulletin
1889. This bulletin is the fourth of
series reporting the adaptability Of
fruit varieties to different regions Of
the United States and contains the re-
suits of study begun in 1912 of the
fruit regions of these states.
The adaptation of fruit varieties
to different conditions and the re-
sponse of different varieties to those
different conditions is well illustrat-
ed in these regions. Many northern
varieties are of little value in south
ern regions, while many southern va
rieties are without merit in northern
regions. Some northern varieties
ripen at the wrong time in the South
to be profitable. and in many cases
fail to develop satisfactorily, while
others are susceptible to diseases not
found In the North. Some southern
varieties do not mature in the short
er season of northern sections, while
the trees of others are too tender.

Swamp-Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine will do for them.
By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer &
Co, Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive
sample size bottle by parcel post. You
can purchase medium and large size bottles
at all drug es.-Advertisement.

Best Time for Cutting
Sweet Clover for Seed

Sweet clover should be cut when
;hree-fourths of the seed pods have
turned dark brown TO black. At this
lime some flowers and many Immature
pods will be found on the plants, but
he field will have a brownish cast
rhe seeds shatter badly when mature
md for this reason every precaution
must be taken to cut at the proper
stage and save as much of the shat
tered seed as possible. Shattering
will be reduced by cutting when the
plants are damp from dew or ram.
The seed crop is usually cut with a
self-rake reaper, grain binder, grain
header or corn harvester, the two for
mer being most satisfactory. The crop
should be stacked unless 1t Is to be
threshed within ten or fourteen days

Look for Lice and Mites
During the Hot Weather

The lice and mites problem is a
great one during the hot summer, and
their control will depend upon the
methods of handling them. There is
only one way to handle lice and mites,
and that is to get rid of them as soon
as they are found on poultry. You
cannot wait until next week and ex-
pect to control lice and mites on your
hens. The day they are discovered is
the day to begin to rid the flock of
them.
Lice and mites, If left to them
selves, will rob the hen of her vital
ity and then you will learn that the
egg basket will suffer. A hen cannot
lay when she Is worried all day by
having lice running over her body and
at night with mites feeding upon her
life blood.
Spray the houses and keep them
clean. Dust the houses with good
insect powder. This will mean profit
and not loss, for it will mean better
and more poultry, and that is what is
needed in every community.

Orchard
ELEANlNES
COVER CROP USEFUL
TO INCREASE HUMUS

Cover crops In an orchard are an
essential part of good orchard prac-
tice AS the maintenance of humus or
to retain proper physical condition,
and as manure is becoming more diff
cult to obtain, and can be used proba-
bly, to better advantage on other parts
OF the farm, cover crops fill very
useful purpose in this direction alone.
Crops that will make a good growth
serve to increase the humus in the
soil, but by selecting q leguminous
crop such as clover, vetch or pea, not
only may humus be added. but also 1t
may be possible to increase the nitro
gen content of the soil. thus obtaining
a two-fold advantage from the cover
crop.
In the colder part of the country.
where well-ripened wood of t4e tree
Is necessary to insure a chance of
proper wintering, 1t is considered nee
essary to utilize cover crop In con-
junction with the clean cultivation sys-
TEN. For this purpose the crop is
sown about June 20. allowed to grow
all summer and fall and plowed under
the following spring. The cover crop
will thus draw upon the soil for mois-
ture and food at a time when the tree
should be ripening its wood. and will
also serve as a means for holding
snow, thus assisting in protecting the
roots of the trees from severe condi-
tons.
The use of cover crops in connection
with bush fruit plantations has not
been developed to any appreciable ex
tent, but with the growing scarcity of
manure there seems to be no reason
why combination of fertilizers and
cover crops could not be adopted us
good practice on areas where raspber
ries, currants and gooseberries are be
ing grown at proper distances. Such
n combination offers many advantages
where cost of regularly applying ma
nure is becoming prohibitive.
Following are some of the more i'm
portant crops used for this purpose
Leguminous-red clover, crimson clio
ver summer vetch, field pea; non
ous-buckwheat, rape.
