Clemson College, May 9.?In most sections of the State, the usual sup? ply of standard fruits will not be available for home consumption this year. Therefore, the housewives should lose no time in canning a generous supply of our native small frulta for winter use. ''ins that were formerly filled with peaches should not be left empty; but refilled with the natlvo blackberry and similar fruit. I mum Eagerton-Chatliam. Miss Georgia Eagerton and Mr. P. E.

Many good wishes for their future happiness nnd success in life go with them. Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers By Prof. R. J. H. Do Loach, Director of Georgia Experiment Station. 6. FERTILIZERS AND HORTICULTURE. The Fifth of a Series of Six Articles. The fruit sod vegetable growers are always leaders in the use of plant foods for their crops. This is especially true of the vegetable growers. What they wish is rapid growth in their produce, so that they will get the vege? tables on the market in the shortest possible time from the time of planting. This is the secret of success with vegetables, and the only way to meet such conditions is to apply fertilizers in large quantities. In the next paper we shall tell about the "home garden" and how to fertilize it. In the present paper we are to tell more particularly about fruit trees and other horticultural plants. The relation of apple growing to fertilisers has never been very carefully worked out. We know that the use of fertilizers with fruit trees, and especially apples, pays, but we have not yet worked out the best formulae for the various kinds of trees, nor the amounts which pay best. Brisbin says, In his book on "Trees and Tree Planting," that In planting young trees large quantities of manure should be used In preparing the place for planting. These manures should be rich in plant food elements if the trees are ex? pected to make rapid growth. The best way to increase the plant food in manures Is to add to the manures the mineral elements in various forms, and mix with leaf mold and manures. Brisbin also recommends that weeds should not be allowed to grow around the apple trees, as they will take up the plant food which is put down for young trees. The best method of producing fruit Is to keep the field or orchard clean by growing other crops which require constant attention and cultivation. Most farmers and horticulturists fertilize the crops that grow in the oschard, and In this way save the expense of fertilizing the fruit trees again. In many Instances legumes are grown as a cover crop, and, incidentally, to furnish nitrogen. The orchard cannot be cultivated too deeply, or injury will result It needs to be cultivated shallow, and manures or fertilizers applied in reasonable quantities. While it is necessary to put fertilizers near the trunk of the tree, yet the roots scatter pretty well over an orchard, and the plant food that happens to fall further away from the trunk is not lost A large crop of apples or peaches takes from the soil much plant food, such as nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, and unless this is supplied from time to time, the trees will prove less fruitful and finally bear very little fruit, and what they do bear will be of poor quality. The argument that old trees in pastures bear good fruit Is not sound, because conditions prevail in many isolated places this way that cannot be duplicated in the orchard. Many times It is the natural leaf mold, woods earth, droppings from animals, and other materials carrying available plant food that make the fruit on such trees. Besides, such fruit is rarely ever,as excellent and delicious as .that grown In a well-kept orchard. Fruit, like all other kinds of field and garden crops, must be forced more or .lese to measure up to a high standard. To force the fruit, and at the same time keep the land fertile, we must apply to the soil as much fertilizer as the crop takes from it Fruit trees demand in their growth a fertilizer rather rich in potash and 'phosphoric acid, but not very rich in nitrogen. It was found that the citrus trees in California at the Riverside Experiment Station grew better fruit and did better every way with a complete fertilizer than with any single plant .food element, or any Incomplete combination. It was also found that the acid requirements of these trees were more completely supplied with sul? phate of ammonia than from any other nitrogen source* Many of the experiment stations have secured good results from fertilizing orchards, but none quite so good as the Ohio station. F. H. Ballou, in charge of work with apples, says: i "To sum up the results in increased fruit production atom the use of chemical fertilisers on the very thin1 orchard land in southeastern Ohio, tak? ing into consideration all our different-plots at the various places covering #0 miles of country, we have the following: Average per acre, per year fertilized-, 100 barrels. Average per acre, per year unfertilized, 44 barrels. . Gain per acre, per year, from fertilization, 50 barrels. Cost of gain per barrel, per year, 17.8 cents. This Is the strongest endorsement for the ute of commercial fertilizers In orchards that we have' yet seen, end shows how it is possible to increase the Incomes from an orchard by the wise use of the proper kinds of fertilizers. Prof. Maurice A. Blake of the New. Jersey Experiment Station recommends en application of 460 pounds of fertilizer' per acre with peaches. Prof. Starnes of the Georgia Experiment Station tried many formulas at the Georgia Station several years ago on peaches, and "found that in every case the fertilisers ^_ ' . _ Widely Known Naturalist to Be Here Chautauqua Week TJARNEST HAROLD BAYNES Is one of America's well known nat? uralists?a naturalist who has the hearty Indorsement of Theodore Roose? velt and John Burroughs. Mr. Baynes' books are widely read. His latest "Wild Bird Guests," is Just off tho press, deuntry Life In America last year used a picture of Mr. Baynes with one of his Great Danes for Its cover page. When Mr. Roosevelt was president he commissioned him to formulate plans for the national con? servation of the bison. At Meriden, N. H., Mr. Baynes start? ed the first bird sanctuary in this country, a movement which will spread throughout the nation. Ho calls at? tention to how the ruthless killing of birds costs us millions of dollars each year In the loss of fruit and crops. The Rcdpnth Chautnuquas call the sixth day of the Chautauqua this year "bird day" in recognition of the move? ment Mr Bay mm lias starred. "HAGOOD" WRITES FROM CHAR JLESTON. Enthusiastic) over Dinklns' Mill Picnic' -?Praises Manning Administration ??Revival did Good to Charleston. Mr. Editor: Speaking of that get-together pic? nic, it has been said, by way of em? phasis we say again, it is not intended to be in any sense a political meeting. Should any one endeavor to do vio? lence to the purpose and spirit of the occasion as conceived by its promoters hy attempting to inject politics into it they will have committed a gross of? fense. We came away from Sumter filled with pleasure at the hold tho picnic was taking upon the people. It is a great forward step that Sumter coun? ty, that has led so often before, is tak? ing. Mr. Reardon tells me he may have a band with us for the occasion. One feature not hitherto noticed |S the demonstration work among the ladies, the nlrls and perhaps the hoys. We've never said a word before through the press about the sane, the virile administration. Mr. Manning has given us. Ho deserves, as much as any, to be his own successor. Hyde Is not only In the saddlo hero, but holds the reins. There is a spirit of opposition, of dissatisfaction, but the better element supports him. That revival they had down here was genuine, far-reaching in results, touching all classes and conditions of society. Not to mention others, one man, a drunkard, who owned three or more dens, where they drank and gambled, was converted and joined the church. Charleston Is a cleaner, a better place. "Hagood."
