POLLINATION TESTS
In KENT ORCHARDS
Continued from first page)


parent branches in buckets of water
in several of the Early Ripe trees in
the Denney orchard is simply an
emergency measure, and the expert
ment will be observed with consider
able interest by those in charge as
well as by the fruit growers in gen.
eral. AS an aid in this pollinatiOn
experiment four hives of bees have
been placed at intervals throughout
the twenty-acre block of trees, and
in all probability these Transparent
blossoms will have to be replaced
with fresh ones at least once during
the blooming period.
One of the pollination studies in
the Richardson orchard consists OF
using the pollen from the Early Ell
berta, Elberta, Belle and Hiley va
rieties of peaches on the Hale varie-
ty in an attempt to learn which OF
these four different varieties will be
the most effective in forming a max
imum set of fruit. In addition to
this phase of the experiment, over
three thousand fruit buds on a few
representative Hale trees have been
bagged to study the degree Of ster1l-
ity of this particular variety, as the
problem of securing a perfect fruit
set seems to be the principal obJec-
ton to the Hale peach in this Sec
ton of the country.
Mr.. Lagasse is also conducting a
similar cross pollination study OF the
Crimson Beauty apple in the orchard
of Reuben F. Brown, as this is
comparatively new variety in this
section and very little is known
about it in regard to its ability to SCI
fruit when planted in solid blocks by
/ itself. The indications are, however
that this variety is self sterile, ano
the experiment in the Brown orchard
has been established for the purpose
of making further studies along this
line. ..
The Crimson Beauty is a red apple
which ripens in a period between
the Yellow Transparent and the ReC
Astrakan, and the pollen from this
latter variety is being used in tins
experiment as it blooms at approx
mately the same time as the Grim
son Beauty. The Nero and yellow
Transparent varieties follow next II
order with regard to time Of bloom
ing with the Crimson Beauty, con
sequently the pollen from these tw'
varieties is also being used in thli
experimental study. The Earl!
Ripe. which also blooms at about TN
same period as the other varieties
previously mentioned, and it may b.
determined in the future that thi
variety will come in this list OF goo'

CLOVER GROWERS WILL
VISIT FARM NEAR FELTON,

country, he has been requested to
present a few of the essential fac4
tors of profitable production to the
farmers at this field meeting. Dur
ing the past two or three years nu-
merous visits have been made to
Mr.. Schabinger's farm by farmers
and agricultural experts from the
nearby states for the purpose OF in
specting his sweet clover fields and
learning of his cultural methods.
One of the outstanding problems
facing the Delaware farmers today
in many sections of the state is the
production of a sufficient quantity
of good pasture and hay for their
livestock, and this situation is es-
pecially true with reference to those
farmers who are keeping dairy cat
tie. There is no doubt that sweet
clover is filling a much needed re-
quirement in our pasture and hay
crop program in this state and indi-
cations point toward an increased
interest in this clover each year as
the result of the success and salts
faction attained by the majority OF
those farmers who are growing 1t
on their farms at the present time

CHICAGO, January 9.-The general
level Of railway rates is slowly but

by the carriers. some under orders of

are prompting the decline.
available statistics show that the
average freight rate in each Of the
three large territories of the country
was less last year than the year be
fore and that the average rates per
ton and passenger per mile was the
lowest since 1870" declares the edi-
