REPORT OF AMERICAN P0M0L0G
ICAL SOCIETY.
The American Pomological Society
convened at Kansas City, Mo., Tues
day. Sept. 19 to 21, and was one of the
largest gatherings of pomologists and
scientists that has ever met in that
convention city. It represented the
best talent in scientific and practical
horticulture from all of our best agri
cultural colleges, as well as those con
nected with the experiment stations
and the Departments of Agriculture at
Washington. In the absence of Presi
dent J. H. Hale of Connecticut, CapL
C. L. Watrous of Des Moines, la., acted
as chairman through the deliberations
of this body. The first day's meeting
was largely taken up with address of
welcome of the mayor and responses,
together with the president's address
and the report of the different officers
and chairmen of committees. The city
of Kansas City royally entertained
this notable assembly.
Americana Plum.
On Wednesday, Sept. 20, the pro
gram proper was taken up. with the
first discussion on the Americana
plum. It was opened by Prof. Albert
Dickens of the Kansas Agricultural
college. He said that we may hope
only through the breeding up of the
type of plums with a strong marking
of the native to get varieties that will
stand in many places over the arid
Northwest. The consensus of opinion
was that it was the best family of
plums to plant over the large area of
the Mississippi valley, and north of
the 10th degree of latitude. Prof.
Troupe of Indiana said that many of
the varieties of the Americana were
perfectly adapted to his state, and
lhat there was an increased planting
of some of the best varieties. Several
who spoke on their value for Colorado
crave as their opinion that this family
of plums, which constitutes such varie
ties as the Hawkeye. Stoddard and
Wyant. and the Chickasaw varieties.
Wild C!oose and others, were doing
well, and that the increased planting
of these hardy varieties during the
last few j ears was marvelous. Prof.
Kittle of the Iowa Agricultural college
believed that from the best improved
varieties any one who planted and
gave proper care would be abundantly
Messed with good crops and fruit, and
that from these selected varieties we
may hope to develop a breed of varie
ties of high excellence, both as fo
longevity of tree and hardiness of bud
and high quality of fruit.
Pruning.
Following this discussion was that
of pruning of the different fruit trees
and the peculiarities of climate on
pruning. There were many different
opinions expressed, but the weight of
the evidence was that pruning was
ne of those operations that should be
practiced early in the life of the tree.
Its outline and contour should be
formed with the first pruning of the
top. as in the apple at two years old;
open tops, so as to give circulation of
air, and the letting in of sunshine was
considered absolutely necessary to
high-grade fruit. B., this method
greater bearing surface of tree could
be secured, so that instead of the tree
bearing only on the outside or termi
nal branches, would set fruit through
I he tree. Thus the trees could more
easily bear up under the heavy crop
of fruit and not break, as the weight
is more evenly distributed.
Perfect Apple.
On Wednesday the report of the
committee on grading the exhibiting
fruit was taken up, but the committee
asked for further time for making
their report. Mr. Williamson of Illi
nois, chairman of this committee, was
asked while on the floor to give a defi
nition of a "perfect apple." or one first
class, to grade No. 1 on the markets.
'Normal in shape, normal in color;
free from worms, with no break in
the skin. Must be han d picked and
free from fungus; must range in size
from 2i to 2A inches in diameter at
Its widest part to be in the No. 1
grade."
Orchard Management.
The subject of cover crops came in
for much discussion. The most suc
cessful fruit growers advocated some
kind of a cover crop. In Missouri it
was cow peas, vetch, clover or any
plant that would completely cover the
ground, giving uniform moisture and
keeping the soil from drying out. Many
argued that the developing and matur
ing of the crop of fruit was such a
HONEY BEES AND THE ORCHARD.
" It is a question whether or not that
a sufficient quantity of honey bees
n- t viit the orchard blossoms
will do more good and be the means
of producing more fruit than spray
ing the trees in the ordinary manner,
4is carried out even to the most sys
. tematic and scientific plans. We are
'; inclined to favor the bees, and for our
part have given the job into their
hands entire. While spraying in the
proper season does not conflict with
' the work of the bees on fruit blos
soms, yet some people are foolish
enough to spray their fruit trees when
in full bloom, thus defeating the very
object they desire to obtain. If any
one is not thoroughly acquainted with
the tables laid down for spraying fruit
trees, they should not spray at all
until' they are posted.
There is perhaps not an agricultural
i.,iiii chert but is able to furnish

heavy drain on the water supply that
if not protected, and the evaporation
lessened by a cover crop, your fruit
would necessarily be smaller. Mr. J.
A. Burton of Indiana said that crab
grass in his large orchards made a
perfect covering; was easily mowed
down and retained moisture and gave
the soil the proper conditions. He be
lieved that orchards should be culti
vated during their first few years, and
then seeded with some cover crop. He
did not advocate high culture, but be
lieved that the orchard required at
tention all the time to get the best re
sults. Some of the figures that Mr.
Burton gave as to the great value of
commercial orcharding follow: "In my
orchard I had 110 trees of Grimes
Golden, from which I sold the fruit
for 11.700. being an average of $15.50
per tree." One can readily see from
these figures that it pays to take care
of the orchard; give it proper care,"
good culture, for when given this it
becomes one of the most remunerative
Investments that one can make.
Reliable Trees.
Prof. Morris of Oklahoma, discussing
In his paper the source of trees for
orchard planting, said that the unsus
pecting public were often made to
suffer from the irresponsible tree deal
er. He gave many instances to show
how men had been unfairly dealt with
In procuring their trees, not getting
what they ordered. He cited one in
stance where he knew a party had
gone into the woods, dug up willows,
cutting them back and shaping them
and shipping them for peach trees.
They were planted out and grown one
year before the owner was aware of
the treatment that he had received. It
was only more evidence of what has
already been said in these columns
that the ordinary farmer and fruit
grower should only buy his trees and
plants of his home nursery, or of par
ties that he knows are reliable.
Spraying the Apple Orchard.
Prof. Pollard of Nebraska, on the
subject of spraying, said that it is
the only way to get a fruit crop one
year with another. He gave as his
opinion that if spraying was properly
done at the right time and with the
proper mixtures we may expect a good
crop of fruit with ordinary conditions
as we would a crop of corn or any
other cereal. For the codling moth,
which is one of the great enemies of
the apple, he recommends four pounds
of paris green to 50 gallons of water.
For eating insects and for protecting
the foliage from fungous diseases, ho
only added Bordeaux mixture, as given
in the regular formulas. Prof. Beech
of Iowa said that in spraying what was
proper for the apple would be detri
mental and injurious to the' plum foli
age. Mr. Dunlap of Illinois, who is
one of the large fruit growers, said
that one of the essentials of spraying
for" profit was doing it at the right
time. In giving his experience he said
he had found that the early spraying,
before the leaves had opened, had al
ways given the best results. Then
you could get your spray compound
more evenly distributed over the tree
before the foliage was in the way. The
Hon. Parker Earle. who is one of the
veteran fruit growers of this country,
said that after years of experience and
trying the many formulas for spraying,
he had found that arsenite of lead had
given the best results and that it was
the only thing that he was using in
his orchards, for the codling moth and
for the canker worm. He claims that
you can keep your orchard free from
them with the assurance of a crop of
apples one year with another. The
formula given of the arsenite was
three pounds of arsenite of lead to
five gallons of water. Many advocated
the use of desperine, but it was proven
that this compound was the same as
the arsenite, and was used at flie rate
of five pounds to 100 gallons. After
hearing much discussion on this ques
tion from different learned men we
believe that we would recommend the
using of the lead compounds for the
codling moth and the canker worm.
Training the Grape Vine.
Prof. Munson of Texas gave a valu
able paper on the growing and train
ing of the grape vine, demonstrating
before the association his method of
training the vine. It was by placing
heavy posts three feet in the ground,
every six or seven rods. On each is
a cross-arm about three feet long fitted
on the top. He trains the vine on a
string for each vine until it gets high
enough to reach the wires that are sta
ples on this cross-arm. This allows
the vine to spead out each way. mak
ing a perfect arbor, so that it can be
easily tenured and allows good ventila
tion through the vineyard. By this
method he claims that more grapes
lose sight of the fact that to spray
fruit blossoms when the blossoms are
open is largely fatal to a crop of fruit
that is. if the spraying is effectual,
which, in the majority of cases, we
think is not: but in many cases it is.
owing to the material used, and the
conditions under which it is used.
Effectual spraying of fruit blossoms
will kill all insects visiting the blos
soms, thus preventing the fertilization
of the same, or largely weakening the
same. If you are a fruit grower, it
will pay to experiment a little; and
if you try honey tees to the num
ber of about two or three colonies for
each acre or orchard you have, you
will be as well pleased with the re
sult as many others have been. Bees
will, aside from this, pay you for their
keeping, so that it will cost nothing
to have them work your fruit blos
soms, but will be quite advantageous
to them thus early in the spring.

Goodman President.
One of the main features of the dos
ing and last session of this notable
gathering was the election of its offi
cers for the next biennial period. Here-
tofore this society has always met In
the East, and as natural its officers
were Eastern men, who knew but little
of the possibilities of the great Mis
sissippi valley. It was very fitting that
at this election a man of the promi
nence and experience of E. A. Good
man of Kansas City be elected as its
president- He is one of the men who
has had more to do in commercial or
charding and in horticulture in all its'
branches than any man we know; he
has been for twenty-five years secre
tary of the Missouri Horticultural so
ciety. Prof. Craig was elected secretary by
unanimous consent, and also Prof. L.
R. Taft of Michigan for treasurer.
Brainy Men.
Never before was there such a col
lection of brainy fruit men as were
found at the program of this meeting,
and we only regret that space will not
permit for going into detail with the
different addresses and papers read.)
Medals Won.
The following were given the Wilder
medals, which is the highest honor
that this society confers upon its ex
hibitors: Missouri State Horticultural society
for its extensive exhibits of apples,
pears and plums. Those who helped
make the great Missouri exhibit were
M. O. Cole of Springfield, G. T. Tippin,
S. H. Jenkins and Ozark Orchard com
pany and others. While this was an
"off year" in Missouri, yet the display
of highly colored fruits was magnifi
cent and showed great care in selec
tion and arrangement.
The firm of Ellwanger and Barry of
Rochester exhibited 127 varieties of
pears. While all parts of the coun
try are not perfectly adapted as this
section for pear growing, yet it was
demonstrated that there are pears
adapted to the different soil and cli
matic conditions of our country. While
in the northwestern states like Iowa
and Nebraska we may not grow to per
fection Bartletts and Seckles and vari
eties of high quality, we can grow in
abundance Kieffer. Flemish Beauty,
Duchess, Clapp's Favorite and many
others. It is a question which each
must decide and experiment for him
self; perfect air drainage being one of
the essentials of success.
Mr. C. G. Patton of Charles City also
received award for the largest exhibit
from his state, containing over forty-
five plates of different fruits originated
by cross-breeding. He may well be
called a "Wizard of Horticulture." He
is one of the few men that is building
a monument to horticulture in his mod
est way that but few realize. He has
already originated varieties of apples
that are perfectly adapted to any good
orchard soil in Northern Iowa or South
ern Minnesota, varieties that will grow
and bear much luscious fruit.
A few exhibits of fruit were merely
given honorable mention, such as the
exhibit of the Ozark Orchard company
at Goodman, Mo., and the Kansas Agri
cultural college.
Approved Varieties.
In looking over the exhibit from Ne
braska and in talking with the main
men from that state, they all agreed
that the following were the best varie
ties of apples to plant, both for home
and commercial orchards: Salome,
Windsor, N. W. Greening, Grime's
Golden, Wealthy, Jonathan, Gennet,
Gano.
Bermuda Onions.
We must not close without making
mention of the vine fruit display from
New Mexico, which was made by Prof.
Garcia. His exhibit was composed
largely of grapes of the "mission
type," but showed conclusively that
they were in the favored spot for bring
ing the grape to perfection. He also
made a large exhibit of Bermuda
onions. The professor is demonstrat
ing that there is great areas of land
in his state where the Bermuda indus
try can be made very profitable. He
grows the onions from seed in "flats,"
transplanting them to the field in rows
15 inches apart and four inches apart
in the row, so that at time of maturity
the ground is almost completely cov
ered with these beautiful large, white
onions.
Hybrids.
The Department of Pomology at
Washington, under the direction of Col.
Bracket, made an extensive exhibit of
some of the newer hybrids in varieties
of limes, lemons and other citrous
fmits, which gave strong proof of the
ppotent clement shown in all hy-
! brtds.
THE CROSSING OF APPLES.
Pomologists of the United States
have written volumes on the hybridi
zation, or crossing, of apples in order
to produce new varieties of commer
cial value suited for growth in the cli
matic and other physiographic condi
tions of this and that section. Hvbrid
ization is a charming employment for
the apple-grower, because here man
uses his art and skill in attempting to
control some of the most exquisite
workings of nature. Scientific cross
ing is done by using a camel's hair
brush to take the pollen from the blos
som of one variety of apple and im
pregnating the pistil of the flower of
another variety. The fruit formed
from this blossom is a cross of the
two varieties. The seed of this is
planted. Sometimes the grower, in
this way, hits upon a fine apple, but
there are a thousand failures to one
success.
Thies is a good time to save some
millet seed for winter feeding. Put it
in the strav and watch the poultry
hustle for it.
IMHMMiMMMMHil
Fungus Attacks on Telegraph Poles.
The length of service of a telegraph
or telephone pole is determined in a
section of the pole not more than a
foot or a foot and a half long. In a
standing pole this section extends
about six or eight inches' above and
below the top of the ground. This
is the universal point of attack upon
the life of the pole, and is called its
breaking point. Decay is the arch
enemy of these poles. It sets in at the
ground line and reaches both up and
down the pole, but only so far as the
conditions exist which promote the
growth of wood-destroying fungi. A
few inches below the ground there is
lack of the necessary oxygen and heat,
while at about the same distance
above ground the requisite moisture
fails. The exact time at which decay
begins its work depends upon the cli
mate, the character of the soil and
similar conditions. In a hot, moist
climate it ordinarily sets in with
great rapidity. But at best, in a very
few years after the pole is set the
struggle has commenced. The decay
soon girdles the pole and gradually
eats into it deeper and deeper until it
is so weakened that it breaks under
the weight of its equipment.
The strain upon the pole from wind
pressure and the weight of its cross
arms and wires is calculated for the
ground line. When the diameter of
this ground line is constantly de
creased, the strength of the pole is
proportionately reduced, and it be
comes only a question of time when
the pole must fall. Chestnut and white
cedar have been found, among avail
able woods, most successfully to resist
decay; but the life of the former is
only from twelve to fifteen years, and
of the latter ten to twelve years. The
co-operative study of the bureau is for
the purpose of extending, if possible,
this time.
The experiments already made by
the United States Forestry Bureau
show conclusively that poles can be
subjected to a preservative treatment
which insures materially lengthened
service. This treatment consists in im
pregnating the wood with antiseptics
which prevent the growth of the fungi
that cause decay. The treatment of
telegraph and telephone poles, when
attempted at all in this country, gen
erally has been applied to the whole
pole, requiring the use of air-tight cyl
inders 100 feet long or more. In these
the poles are subjected to live steam
for some time, when a vacuum is cre
ated. Creosote is then run in and
pressure applied to force it into the
wood. Manifestly this Is a laborious
proce.vs. Yet for telegraph and tele
phone poles only about one foot of the
entire length needs to be made im
mune from fungus. If this foot at the
fatal ground line can be preserved
from decay, the rest of the pole will
take care of itself. Experiments will
now be made in treating the butts
of the poles for a distance of about
eight feet, thus carrying the antisep
tics just beyond the zone of decay
attack. The creosote method will be
used and dead oil of coal tar forced
through the butt of the pole.
The telegraph companies have made
little use of preservative treatment
They employ millions of poles on their
various lines, and it would be a tre
mendous economy to add even a few
years of service to the life of each
pole. But there will be another large
saving both to them and to the forest
through preservative treatment To
provide a good margin against decay,
poles are now much larger than de
manded by the strain upon them. It
is expected that decay will quickly eat
away a furrow around the pole at the
ground line, and the diameter of the
pole at that point is gauged to allow
for this weakening process. When it
is known that decay, in a certain num
ber of years, cuts the diameter from
perhaps 12 to 8 inches, and that below
8 inches the weakened pole falls, the
course to be pursued is obvious. Anti
septics prevent, for the time of their
effectiveness, the starting of decay,
and thus permit at the outset the se
lection of an 8-inch diameter rather
than a 12-inch. The 4 inches saved
represent a tremendous difference in
the size and age of trees used for
poles. Both the companies and the
owners of forests will be great gainers
by this econoinv, with Us shortening
cf the length nf time necessary to
grow a pole.
Coal Ashes as Mulch.
I have believed for many years that
coal ashes make a good mulch, and I
still hold to the opinion, but with some
modifications. It is true tuat the ashes
will for a time prevent the growing of
weeds, especially during the early part
of the season. But in the ashes weed
seeds will ultimately grow up and de
velop enormously. I might say that
if ashes are put on a piece of ground
in the summer the weeds will probably
not appear during that year, for the
reason that the seeds of weeds will not
have time to fall upon the ashes and
sprout before cold weather comes. But
the next jear, look out'
Last winter 1 put ashes between my
rows of current bushes as well as be
tween my rows of strawberries. The
ashes were spread on fully six inches
deep, so deep that I thought it Impos
sible for any weed to push through.
During the first part of this summer
the weeds did not .appear, but after
midsummer showed a sudden vigor.
The ar.hes then seemed to help instead
of hinder them. I was away from
home for some time in the middle of
the summer, and when I came back
those weeds were five or six feet and
I had to pull up the stalks to make the
presence of the weeds in my currant
patch less obvious to the neighbors.
In my strawberry patch the result
was the same. The weeds grew up
and in addition every strawberry run
ner that got onto the ashes sent down
a good system of roots and developed
plants right amid the ashes. I am go
ng to follow the matter further and
see how deep I will have to pile the
coal ashes to prevent the growth of
weeds. I am sure, however, that coal
ashes are a great help for a few weeks,
but they will not accomplish much as
a permanent destroyer. Albeit Bates.

Silage as a Feed Reserve.
The man that has a good many
milch cows knows the advantages of
having always on hand a large supply
of good feed. One of the great ob
stacles In the way of successful dairy
ing is the unevenness of the season.
Some years there is an abundance of
pastura&e and an abundance of grass
in the meadows, which is made into
cheap and nutritious hay. But there
are other years when the pastures are
dry and consequently short, and the
crops is the meadow are so small that
before the winter is half over the
fanner has to buy feed or sell part of
bis cos's. Too often the profits of
one season are eaten up by the losses
in another season.
As a usual thins the fanner or dairy
man thit is caught short on his feed
tries to keep along by feeding straw
mixed with ground feed. He imagines
that he is savins the loss that would
be occasioned by the purchase of hay
at fancy prices. In fact he is losing
heavily in the feeding of such make
shifts, for the amount of fiber that has
to be digested Is so abnormally high
that the little nutriment in the straw
costs too much to make it pay to try
to get it out
How much better for the farmer to
have always on hand a large supply
of a nutritious feed such as silage.
There are years when the weather con
ditions are such that an immense
amount of silage can be grown on a
small area of ground. Some of our
enterprising dairymen carry silage con
tinually in their silos, and when the
corn crop of one year is being harvest
ed they are still using silage from
the lot put In the preceding year.
The more silos built the better is it
for the man that is trying to conduct
business profitably. Doubtless silage
carried for two and three years will
be found to be as good as silage used
at the end of a few months. One dairy
man tells me that he prefers silage
a year old for his cows and that they
always drop on their milk yield when
he changes from old to new silage,
showing that they find the old silage
the more digestible. John Stinson,
Bureau Co., 111., in Farmers' Review.
Small Flies in Milk.
I i:hip my milk to the
city, usually sending about four
cans. One day, a few weeks ago, I
received all the cans back because in
one there were a number of tiny flies,
hardly visible unless they were in
great cumbers. I felt badly to have
every can returned when only one was
at fault, for I had taken great care
with my milk and rather prided myself
on my cleanliness. Just how the flics
got in the milk I do not kuow, for it
was all carefully strained and then
put in the tank to cool, and fresh
water pumped in. Whether the flies
were in the can, or whether they came
while the milk was in the water cool
ing, I do not know, and I have won
dered if other farmers have been
troubled in this same way. At any
rate, I made up my mind that there
would be no more flies in my milk,
so now I use two sets of cans, and
after I take the milk from the cooler. I
strain it again into clean cans. I have
had no further trouble with the little
pests, although it means some more
work and a double number of cans to
be usel. S. E. Lang worthy in Farm
ers' Review.
The Combination Cow.
There is incessant warfare between
the specialists in cow breeding and
the man who wants a cow that is both
a beef-maker and milk-maker. First
the combination cow was called a
general purpose cow, then a dual pur
pose cow, and now some one has hit
upon the name given above. While
the specialist is right in some things,
he is wrong in others. Certainly the
man that is producing milk with the
idea of selling it must produce that
milk from the cow that will make it as
cheaply as possible, and this he will
find among the distinctly dairy cows.
But there is a place for the combina
tion cow. On the high priced land in
Illinois and adjoining states the man
who is producing beef cattle is learn
ing that it is impossible to make
money by producing beef cattle alone.
He must utilize the milk-giving power
of his cows as much as possible.
Therefore he wants a cow with a beef
form and deep powers of milk-giving.
These kinds of cows are in existence.
They are not suitable to go into the
dairy, but are suitable a? an adjunct
to beef making.
Anthrax Among Cows.
Not long ago a man that
has a large herd of cows
and peddles milk in the city of Nash
ville, Tenn., discovered that many of
his animals had anthrax. The board
of health took up the matter and had
the diseased cows slaughtered and
their carcasses burned. The rest were
vaccinated and a rigid quarantine
maintained for a time, with the hope
of preventing the spread of the dis
ease to other herds. Anthrax is a
most deadly disease and is communi
cable to man. As soon as it appears
in a neighborhood every precaution
should be taken against it. If the ani
mals are buried they should be sur
rounded with quicklime, that is, un
slaked lime, that all germs may be de
stroyed. If the carcasses are buried
without this precaution the germs will
work up through the soil and the grass
and other animals feeding there or
eating the dried hay cut from that
place will take the disease.
Vaccination for Anthrax.
There has been an outbreak of
anthrax in Rome, Italy, and the
veterinarians have been vaccinating
according to the Pasteur method
for preventing the spread of the
disease. The results were fairly
good with small doses. The work
was effective when combined with the
careful destruction of all carcasses of
animals dying of anthrax.
