Fruit Growing Industry
Discussed in Bulletin

A complete and comprehensive dis
cussion of the fruit growing Industry
for Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee
is contained in new bulletin issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture as Department Bulletin
1880. 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-
Spouse 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.

Renovating Strawberry
Patch After Harvesting

The strawberry patch which has
borne one crop. should be renovated
soon after harvest. This is done by
blowing out the plants on either one
or both sides Of the row, leaving a
strip only about four inches wide. The
soil of the plowed land is thoroughly
cultivated and, If spike-toothed har-
row Is used, eross-cultivation may be
practiced so that good bed Is made
for the new runner plants. Under
good soil conditions these will start to-
grow within short time and will make
row of new plants IL to 16 inches
wide by early fall. The new plants
are confined to the proper width by
continuing cultivation until they cease
to grow.
Usually it does not pay to renovate
commercial strawberry patch that
has already produced two crops, al
though a home patch, under very ia
Vorable conditions, may be allowed to
yield three and sometimes four crops.

Orchard
I'll EANIN[;S
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
organic matter in. the soil Is necessary
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 a 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 leguminous
crop such as clover, vetch or pea, not
bnly may humus be added. but also It
may be possible to increase the nitro
gen content Of the soil. thus obtaining,
q two-fold advantage from the cover
crop.
In the colder part of the country.
where well-ripened wood of the 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-
tenn. For this purpose the crop Is
s0wn about June 80, allowed to grow
all summer and fall and pl0wed 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 means for holding
snow, thus assisting In protecting the
roots Of the trees from severe condi-
lions.
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 a combination of fertilizers and
cover crops could not be adopted as
good practice on areas where raspber-
ries, currants and gooseberries are be-
ing grown at proper distances. Such
a 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
yer, summer vetch, field pea; nom
leguminous- buckwheat, rape.

Production of Combs Is
Rio Asset for Beekeeper

Y ~
A good stock Of drawn combs is the
most valuable asset that beekeeper
can have, especially If one is pro
Queer of extracted honey. They are
of particular value In season when
the honey crop is light, because they
enable the bees to store what little
nectar is available instead of using it
for the building Of new comb. Every
beekeeper should endeavor to have a
number Of new combs drawn during a
good season to replace any that may
become damaged or broken.
A good comb is one that is straight
and containing as few drone cells as
possible. 1t must also be firmly at
tached to the frame on all four sides
and strongly supported in the frame
by means of wire. To produce such
combs, the frames must first be tight
ly wired; No. % timed wire is most
commonly used. Full-depth Langs-
troth frames should have at least four
horizontal wires; larger frames will
need more.
When extracting the honey from
new combs, first take only part of the
honey from one side, reverse the comb
and empty the other side; again turn
the comb and finish the extracting /;
this will prevent breakage. If all the
honey is extracted from one side with
out removing any from the other the
weight Of Honey on the inner surface
Of the comb will crack, or even break
out the whole center.

Good Care Is Necessary
for Young Fruit Trees

Give fruit trees the proper care
upon arrival from the nursery and you
will be repaid for your labor.
That Is per cent of the complaints
made by buyers Of nursery stock are
unjust is the belief of James G. Moore,
horticultural department, Wisconsin
College Of Agriculture. The real cause
Is improper handling and planting.
Remember the trees are a living
organism reminds Moore. when
you are notified that they have arrived
at the express station, call for them
Immediately.

diately, dig trench and lay the trees

the roots with dirt. If necessary.
they may be left. 'heeled-in' for some

Great Value of
Stock Exhibits
Breeder Gains More Than
Just Ribbons or Prize
Money He May Win.

z A live stock breeder gains more
from exhibiting his stock than just
the ribbons or prize money he may be
fortunate enough to win. Few breed
ers win enough prize money to pay all
expenses Of showing This is just as
true with untitled animals driven to
local fairs to compete for So prizes as
1t is with herds fitted for months and
shipped hundreds of miles to compete
for $25 and $50 prizes at the larger
stock shows. This fact should not dis
courage the exhibitor, however, as
there are other benefits Of considera-
BILE Importance.
Educational Value.
The educational value of the stock
show cannot be overestimated. The
show ring is the greatest educational
institution for teaching animal form
and type. Types sometimes change
materially in very few years. Breed
ers discover the defects in their own
animals when they see them lined up
In competition by an efficient judge.
Few men become really good judges
until they have exhibited stock In COM
petition. Until a man is good Judge
he is rarely a successful stock-breeder.
Advertising Counts.
Probably the greatest return from
showing live stock is In the adyertis-
Ing one gets for his stock. The man
who exhibits live stock, whether 1t be
good or medium in quality, gets his
name before people in way hardly
equaled by other forms Of advertising.
This is more especially true If animals
are prize-winners and have been
shown in attractive condition. With a
well-fitted herd on exhibition and the
name Of the breeder properly dis
played on signs or placards, most
effective impression is made on the
minds Of spectators and prospective
buyers. Those who are most success
full financially in breeding and selling
live stock, consider the exhibition Of
their stock as a highly important an0
necessary form Of advertising

Alfalfa Pasture Is
Superior for Swine
Has No Equal in P alatability
and Protein.

I'm palatability and in production Of
protein alfalfa has no equal as pas
ture crop for hogs. Alfalfa hay is a
profitable hog feed during the winter
months" says e. G. Filling, animal hus-
bandryman, Kansas State Agricultural
college.
After spring filters have been
weaned, brood sows will do well on
alfalfa pasture and a light grain ra-
ton. A hog raiser will find 1t profit
able to feed corn literally to his
spring filters while on alfalfa pasture.
They will then be ready for the fall
market, which is usually higher than
the winter market, according to Filing.
At the Kansas experiment station
50-pound pigs which were fed corn
with alfalfa pasture gained three
times as much per day as hogs re-
cefving corn alone in dry lot. The
first group required only As pounds OF
corn to make a pound Of gain, whereas
the second group required 11.25 pounds
Even when well balanced ration was
fed, the pigs on the alfalfa gained "A
per cent more per day than pigs fed
the same grain ration in dry lot.
The first of these groups required 3.5
pounds of grain to produce pound Of
gain while the second group required
40 pounds.
Alfalfa pasture should-n not be grazed
too closely. 1t Is better to have a
large acreage so that It can be cut
about twice and yield one-fourth or
one-half a, crop Of hay. This acreage
will, of course. vary with the rainfall

horticultural Hints


Spray grapes with bordeaux mix
ture every three weeks.
The farm orchard just as the COM
mercial orchard needs spraying.
Bacon rinds. rubbed on fruit trees
will keep rabbits from barking
them.
Plum and apple trees make fine or
naments for the back yard. They are
even more than an ornament in the
fall.
Thinning the fruit should be regu-
lar orchard practice. The Gamer and
packer do not want great quantity
of small fruits.
Grape vines should be pruned enough
to allow room for each vine. so that
plenty Of air and light can get in.
Many varieties grow too much to
wood.

Silo Needs No Drainage

It is not necessary to make any
provision for drainage In a silo. If
there is excess moisture the most of
it will seep through the walls Of the
silo, and If you have drainage at the
bottom, air will enter and some Of tbs
silage will spoil. Green corn contains
just about sufficient amount of mois-
ture so that there will be no excess
moisture end no seepage When dry
stalks are ensiloed water must be add
ed, and there is little danger Of get
ting too much.

Pasturing Sweet Clover

Stock can go onto sweet clover in
April and it may be pastured hard
clear up to August Is. The harder it
is pastured early in the spring the bet
ter, for this induces new shoots and 1t
keeps down stems which light pastur.
ing would allow to become woody.
Early pasturing keeps the plants ten
der and nutritious. With new seeding
do not turn in the stock until about
July /, and then it won't do to pasture
it as hard as the two-year-old field.

Proper Temperature Is
Important in Churning

No factor in the efficient churning
Of cream is more important than the
proper temperature. The temperature
will vary between the limits of so de-
grees in summer and 65 degrees in
winter. For a minimum loss of fat in
the buttermilk and good firm butter
the churning process should take from
30 to As minutes. When churning is
accomplished in 10 or 10 minutes the
butter always comes soft and there is
a great loss of fat in the buttermilk.

Kill Gophers by Poison

Gophers can best be killed by plac-
ing poison in their burrows, accord
ing to G. E. Nickel, of the University
Of Minnesota. He recommends mix
ture of one-eighth ounce of powdered
strychnia alkaloid, one-eighth ounce of
baking soda, and one-eightieth ounce
of saccharin. These amounts are suf-
ficient to poison four quarts of vege-
table bait. Potatoes, carrots, parsnips,
beets and turnips make especially good
bait, covered with the poison.

Best Garden Fertilizer

While barnyard manure is the best
fertilizer for the garden, still the gar
den fertilizer that comes in bags is a
good substitute and has at times adj
yantages of its own. Now, that auto
mobiles and motor trucks are taking
the place of horses there will be less
horse manure and though COW manure
can be substituted the results are not
SO satisfactory as when old-time
manure consisting of both horse and
COW manure was used.

Handling Broody Hens
Is Problem for Owners

How to handle the broody hen in the
general purpose flock is problem that
confronts flock owners every summer.
If there are such things as plaques in
the poultry business the broody hen is
perhaps the worst one. A good way
to overcome the broody instinct is to
confine the hens in Slated coops, sus-
pended in the shade. Confine them
the first evening they remain on their
nests, but feed and water abundantly
the same as you do the non-broody
hens.
