Eleven Months Says Severe Winter Ruined Peach Crop - H. Eoppert Finds Many Trees Are Bead Urges (hitting to Snow Line. Nebraska's 1936 peach crop has been virtually destroyed by the se vere winter weather which has kill- led buds and several thousand trees, 'E. H. Hoppert, extension horticul turist at the college of agriculture, reported Friday. Back from the commercial fruit producing area of southeastern Ne braska where he held pruning dem- onstrations wun orcnaraisis, nopperi iwas pessimistic about the 1936 peach I crop. He estimated that probably 10,000 trees have been killed by the aa verse weatner. Trees standing in the open and jnot protected by snow have suffered jthe most severely by the unfavorable I weather elements, the horticulturist reported. Those trees which had snow banked around them still have tc cut them down to the snow line ' where there is some life. By such action, the trees can be brought back jinto productivity within two or three ! years, Hoppert estimated. Most of the trees destroyed were 'about eight years old and in com imercial orchards. Peach trees plant ed in low-hedge style for home use apparently did not suffer so severely due to their ability to catch snow which protected them. Many of the "filler" trees in the orchards which were destroyed will probably be taken iout soon. Hoppert reported peach trees at the college orchard likewise have suf- fered severely during the past winter and that many have been killed. In a more optimistic statement, how- !eTer te saId moisture conditions in the commercial orchards for soutn- eastern Nebraska are greatly im proved over one year ago and that prospects for major fruit crops, other than peaches, remain favorable.

Discusses New Crops for the Nebraska Farms Dr. T. A. Kiesselbach, of the College of Agricnltnre, Explains the j V AN. V rW . (Editor's Note: Here is the first in a series of two articles which dis cusses the possibilities ot growing Jerusalem artichokes in Nebraska. The second will appear next week.) The favorable development of agri culture in Nebraska has been closely ! linked with the introduction of revo lutionizing new crops. The mere naming of a few of these will serve to substantiate this statement: name ly, Turkey winter wheat, alfalfa and sweet clover. The state agricultural experiment station is always on the lookout for superior new crops and is ever striv ing to improve the old. This is a responsibility exacted by the public which also expects to be kept cor rectly advised regarding the possi bilities and merits cf the various crops. Should the acreage of Jerusalem artichokes be increased under pres ent conditions? This is one of the moBt common questions directed to the Agricultural Experiment Station this winter and Is doubtless prompt- ed hy the current agitation for the greater industrial use of farm crops. We might follow this with another question: Is the situation with re spect to artichokes materially dif ferent from what it has been for a number of years? It has leen estimated that about 300 acres of Jerusalem artichokes were grown in Nebraska in 1935. tince mis is not a new crop, tne smau acreage suggests that farmers have not been attracted to It under the conditions of the past. The crop has not been revolutionized by the re cent introduction of superior va rieties. There are no varieties avail able commercially in this country that are recognized as materially su perior to the French White which has now been grown for a number of years. Certain experimental lots are re garded as somewhat superior on the basis of limited experiments, but these are not as yet a factor in com mercial production. Evidences of su periority must be substantiated over a period of years to be conclusive.

Now towering eight feet four inches, Robert Wadlow of Alton, 111., who recently celebrated his ISth birthday, is assured of be coming the world's tallest man in history before his next birthday. Wadlow'a nearest rival for the dis tinction Is the famed "Irish giant," Charles O'Brien, who measured eight feet four and one-half inches in height before he died In 1783 at the age of 23. ilf Wadlow reaches a height of eight feet fiTe inches, which Is almost certain before his next birthday on Feb. 22, 1937, he will have establiched a new record. Youth. Studying Law Yet it is not a distinction to which the youth aspires. He is a shy re tiring sort of chap who Bhuns the curiosity aroused by his height. He has refused numberous attractive offers from vaudeville and circuses although his family are only in modest circumstances. Wadlow'a amition is to be a law yer and live a life as near normal as his size permits. He is now a fresh man at Shurtleff college in Alton and has an excellent scholastic re cord. His choice of law as a career was determined by his belief that his size would handicap him least in that field. Although he weighed only nine pounds at birth, Robert began to grow rapidly before he was a year old. His growth had been steady and gradual During the past year he shot up four inches and is expected to grow two or three Inches more before his next birthday. Wadlow Weighs 390 KIs proportions are in comparison to his height. He weighs 390 pounds. of i wears a size 39 shoe, an eight and one-half hat and takes a coat with a sleeve length of nearly 60 inches. His wardrobe is far from a minor Item in the Wadlow family budget since even a pair of shoes for Robert costs $85. Despite his size, however, young Wadlow lacks the strength one might popularly associate with a giant. His rapid growth has not been ac companied by normal muscular co-normal breakfast and his rood con-jneignt, some even naving oeen re ordinatlon and development.

Some of these may be listed as follows: (1) Is there a dependable commercial market? (2) If a feed crop, how does :t com pare in practicability with other standard feed crops? (3) Is the crop adapted? (4) How does the labor cost of production compare with that of other standard crops? To answer the first question, there is now no industrial market for arti chokes grown In Nebraska and there is no certainty that there will be such a market in the near future. There would be no justification now in recommending the growing of articrokes on the basis that a market may sometime develop. If alcohol cr sugar processing plants should te established, a profitable market for artichokes would probably exist only in close proximity to the factory. As an average for the 4 years 1925-! 1927 and 1935 in which tests have been made, artichokes yielded 5 tons tubers per acre at the experi ment station at Lincoln. We have used the best variety commercially available and grown them in a standard manner. Yields under var ious conditions in the state may te indicated by the following experi ment station result3 secured in 1925: Lincoln, 4.58 tons tubers; North Platte dry land, 1.5C tons; Valentine sub-irrigation, 10 tons; Mitchel irri gation, 13.6 tons. As an average for three years, a yield of C.17 tons of fresh tubers per acre at Lincoln analyzed 17.1 Tc sugar which would be at the rate of 1.07 tons sugar per acre.
