REMOVING TEMPORARY TREES
Bee F. C. SEARS,
Meet of us who grow orchards eom
eboner or later to the time when w
havo the job on our hands of telcin
out some of our trees. And whe
this job doe e come it is often e ver
serious problem.
• All eorts of factors influence one
decisido in the matter; the kind o
trees, peach, pear, apple or cherry
the variety; the type of soil on whic
the trees are growingrehe age au
size of the trees.
In a general wayeenees decisien fal
into one of two categories, either
salvage the) trees and move, them o
to new land to. start a new °miler
or merely to get them out of the ore
terd in the leest and cheapest way, i
order to make room for.theperma
ent tyees which remain.
,• „Moving ,the,trees onto eew land t
start a new orchard is much mor
interesting more expensive, and ver
much less frequently used; in fact,
te
is comparatively rarely atterap
Yet when conditions are „right it i
perfectly feaesible, as the -writer know
from experience, and es the quieltes
and cheapest way to get a bearin
orchard.
• In the light of our six years' ex
perienee the folloeving would -seem.
be the important points in determin
ing whether it will be profitable
move trees of this type.
First. One should have reasonabl
good digging conditions in the en•ch
ard from which the trees are to b
taken and in the field in which the
are to be set. Rocky. or gravelly so
makes the digging lower and /nor
costly and*rnaltes it much less certai
that the trees can be • transferre
from. one position to the other in goo
condition. The soil of the field e
which they are to he see ought also
be reasonably moist.
I doubt very much the possibilit
of starting an orchard. in thie way o
soil which is dry and gravelly, fo
even on the best soils trees have
fight to get enough moisture durin
the first season.
•Second. The variety of tree is ap
parently very important. In our ex
perience McIntosh is particular'
good, with Baldwin, Williams 'an
Wealthy following in the order nam

Third. The age of the trees shout

it The latter is probably the better so-

s so that they are not interfering with
t the adjoining trees; and it allows for
g thorough cultivation of every alter-
nate -space in :he orchard, and very
_ decidedly 'improves conditions in ethe

We have found that the best way to
to get the stumps out when the time ar-
rives is Oh use a block and tackle.
y Our equipment consiets of seventy-
_ five feet of one -inch vvaterproofed

e row, using the next tree ahead as the
d stake to which to attach our tackle.
d One man drives the team and the
other three manage the tackle. -
to As soon as one tree is pulled these
three men unhook the tackle from the
last "stake tree" whose turn has now
e dome to be pulled—rush the front end
le of the tackle forward and fasten it
with a short chain to the next tree as
et a stake, hitch the rear end cif the
66 tackle to the tree to be pulled, and
by the time the teamster has brought
- his team around everything is in
shape for him and out comes the next

By this method we have been able
to pull from seventy-five to two huo-

be considered. Every year added t
.ten years reduces the feasibility o
the plan. The trees are larger, more
costly to handle and recover les
quidtly and surely. •
Fourth. The distance that the tree
have to be moved is of importance
• since every rod one has' to go add
to the expense.
Fifth and last, the condition of th
tree as to thrift and vigor and gen
eral health is important. One would
scarcely be justified in attempting to
move trees which are not in prime
condition.
With these points in mind we.may
next outline briefly the -method we
have found most satisfactory in mov-
ing such trees, which is by the use of
aball of frozen soil about the roots.
We C:ig around the tres in Novem-
ber, making a trench about two feet
from the trunk of the tree, and per-
haps two and a half feet deep. We go
down until we are below -the main
roets and then dig under the tree
until "it can be rocked quite easily by
pulling' on a branch. • Then the trees
are allowed to stand until this ball of
earth freezes 'fairly sotid.

I Sold the Apples.
Last summer I had some very fine
yellow transparent apples I wished to
sell, Another farmer had flooded the
market with common, unsorted ap-
pies, so it was up to me to work up a
plan to sell mine,- I sorted the apples
and placed all of the same size in a
five -pound basket. These I sold at
twenty-five cents a basket, while the
other farrher sold his fruit for three
_cents a pound. From this I found
that quality and appearance sell fruit
the best. After that I always graded

Cultivation of Drug Plants.
Formerly, as Mr. John Ade=
As-
sistant Dominion Botanist, says in his
bulletin oo• "Medicinal Plants and
Their Cultivation in Canada," certain
drug plants growing wild in this mune
try were to be had for the mere trou-
ble of gathering: Excess of use of this
privilege has led to their scarcity and
in their wild state to such practical
disappearance as now to require their
cultivation. Particularly is this true
of Seneca snake root and golden seal
Mr. Adams, in dealing with this sub
.ject, gives the common-sense advice
that unless a farmer can convince
himself that he ,can realize larger prey -
fits per acre from, the growth of drug
plants thart.from the usual farm pro
ducts he would be unwise to attempt
it unless as a sort of subsidiary mea -ns
of supplementing hisi neoine. How-
ever, he can run no risk by devoting a
small plot of about an acre to drug -
plant culture as an experiment for a
few years. He might grow at least
ten different sorts of thoseleest suited
to his locality. The plants for -which
thereeis demand are: Golden seal,
which is collected in autumn after the
seeds %have ripened; white mustard,
the seeds of e*Vhich and black mustard
when ground and mixed constitute the
mustaxcl of commerce; Seneca snake
root, or naountain flax, which is collect-
ed in autumn and can be grown on any
•soil suitable for field crops; marsh
•mallow, sacred bark or bearberry,
anise, caraivey, coriander, fennel, win-
tergreen or checkerbexry, horehound,
peppermint and others, descriptions of
all of which ere given in the bulletin,
which can be had by addressing the
Publications Branch, Ottawa. Above
everything farmers- are warned
against paying heed to flamboyant ad-
vertisements purporting to tell of big
profits that can be made by growing
medicinal plants.
Story of the Colorado
Potato Beetle.
Pour members of the staff of the
•Entomoligical Branch of the Domin-
ion Department of Agriculture have
united in evritingta monograph of the
Colorado potato beetle in Canada.
These members are Arthur Gibson,
Dominion entomologist; R. P. Gor-
ham, assistant entomologist at Fred-
erictoe, N.B.; H. F. Hudson, assist-
ant entomologist at Strathroy, Ont.,
• and X. A. Flock. This monograph,
- which is styled Bulletin No. 52, new
series, and can be had free on ad-,
dressing the Publications Branch, Ot-
tawa, shows that the beetle was first
noticed at Windsor, Ont., in 1870, and
- since then has spread pretty well all
over the country- It swarmed 'across
the Detroit River in the first instance
and soon was fouled in many parts of
Western, Ontario. In 1873 alt but the
northern part of the province had ex-
perienced a visitation. In 1874 the
beetle. was observed in Quebec; in
1878 it had made its appearancein
New Brunswick, in 187e in Manitoba,
in 1881 in Northern Ontario, in 1899
m Alberea, and in 1901 in Saskatelie-
wan, In the West its -spread was very
gradual, its presence en any nurnbeis
not being reported until' recent years.
It was first found in British Columbia
in 1919, having been intreklbced, it is
supposed, from the State of Montana.
The bulletin, which is a publication of
• thirty pages, with illustrations, de-
scribes the nature and habits of the
insect, its method of life and breed-
ing, natural control factors, and arti-
ficial control, the last of which is pos-
sible by spraying or dusting with in-
sectcides, which are prescribed.
Exports of Dairy Products.
Canada's export busipess in dairy
products for the twelve months end-
ing with June of the present* year
showed very considerable improve-
m,ent over that of the preceding year.
As reported in the last news letter of
the Dominion Dairy and cord Storage
Branch, the exports of butter in 1924-
25 were 25,096,120 pounds, valued at
eS,934,794, and of cheese 134,418,700
pounds, valued at $25,733,222, com-
pared- with in 1923-24, 13,668,379
pounds of tauter, valued at $5,031,68e,
and , , pounds of cheese
worth $22,634,880. The exports were,
of course, mostly to the United Eing-
dom, but it is noticeable that in June
alone Chiba took 57,e32 pounds of ,

Sweet _Clover Improves

Nitrogen is one of the most essen-

nitrogen from the air and incorporate
it into its tisues. It thus becomes, as
Mr. Derick points out in his pamphlet

HOW 1 BUDGET MY WINTER
SUPPLY OF VEGETABLES
BY NELL E, NICHOLS.
It is the tinge 01frost in the air
that xnakes us glence ahead to the
days when orchards and ge.rclene will
be oo more, ,At this season I always
check over the aneed goode, fruit
and vegetablee to be kept in cold star,-
age to find out what additions are
needed to make my eupply adequate.
I find that the storage of these food
products is one way to lower grocery
bills as well as making easier the pre -
Pe -ration of winter meals. They are
belpful, too, in „prodacing. wholesome
repasts because these foods are essen-
tial to a properly halanced diet for
the family,
While the amount of foodstuffs
stored in the home for consumption. in
the cold weather will vary with the
individual taste 01 different families
and the products grown on the farm,
I consider my budget a typical one.
It has been made by several years a
experience, and the fruits and vege-
tables put away are what I consider
the minimum amount for a family of
five. Allowance is made for the rise
of at least ooe vegetable, and esually
•of two or three, other than potatoes,
for every day in the wintry months.
• Here is the list of vegetables which
we have stored every fall for the last
few years: Potatoes, 15 busbels; on-
ions, 45 pounds; cabbage, 75 pounds;
squash, 35 pounds.; beets, 25 -pounds;
carrots, 40 pounds; parsnips, 20
pounds; celery plants, 40 pounds. The
ideal way to stare vegetables is to
have special storage cellars or caves,
though food may be kept quite satis-
factorily without thew.
REQUIRE MOIST CELLAR.
I have discovered that potatoes,
beets, carrots, salsify, turnips and
parsnips require a moist, eool cellar
with little or no air, the temperature
from 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Celery, cabbage and cauliflower have
the same requirements, only they keep
best when the circulation of air is
geode On the other hand, onions,
squash and purnpldn require a wrmer
place, one from 45 to 60 degrees Fah-
renheit, which is dry and has d good
circulation of air.
M
Here are some of the ways vrhich
we have stored vegetables: After re-
moving the outside leaves of cabbages
we packed the heads in box
ayearth es in alter-
nate layers of sand and earand
stored them in the coolest part of the
cellar. We have dug celery plants
with the roots and p'„anted them in
the Peer of the cellar. The roots are
watered eccaeionalle, but it is lieges -
sexy to take care not to moistee the
leaves,
Onions are dried before being
stored. When, they are thoroughly
dry I have hung themin basleets in
the cellar, A dark place of storage

OUTSIDE STORAGE,
• Our experiments with outdoor seer -
age in our section have been satisfac-
tory although it requires more time
to put the foods away and to get them
out again, The two essentials of this
method of keeping 'vegetables aret
First, to select a well -drained spot;
and, second, to cover thee vegetables
so they will not freeze. • Cabbage,
parsnips encl salsify are the easiest
foods to store in this way. The
ca,bleage is pulled and the roots are ,
not detached; the heads are placed
down on the grouid. Then the plants
are covered with earth and for good
measure, we place a layer of straw
over this. We use about eight Welles
of earth over the cabbage, salsify and
parsnips.
In storing potatoes, turnips, rut-
abagas, carrots and beets outdoors we
have found it 'essential to cover there
carefully to avoid frost danger. First
the vegetables are covered with ten
inches of straw or hay and then the
same amount of earth.
The canning budget which I fol.
lowed last year and found quite satis-
factory is as follows: Tomatoes, 36.-
quarts; spinach, 12 quarts; string
beans, 20 pints; corn, 10 pints; aspar-
agus, 8 quarts; lima beans, 6 pints;
peas, 15 pints.
The amount of fruit I can, varies
from year to year with the crop and
the price of sugar. I like to put up
75 quarts and to make 100 glasses of
jelly, jam and butter. I always bottle
at least 10 pints of' juice for use in
making fresh jelly during the winter,
Of course we make the deeectable
dried winter fruits, each as dates,
raisins, prunes, apricots and peaches,
furnish the fruity taste to many re-
pasts, and oranges and apptes are nee
overlooked.

The Store Cattle Trade.
• The British embargo against Cana-
dian cattle was removed on April 1,
1923, and the question then arose as
to how cattle shoued be shipped and
what are the best types of catle to
send. In ' order to obtain authentic
information from data, the resuet of
experiment, sound in foundation, care-
fully conducted and recorded, the Doe
minion Department of Agrieutture are e
ranged early in. 1923 for an experi-
mental shipment of steers to England.
This shipment went forward in May,
1923, and a second consignment was
shipped in the fall of the same year.
From these shipments much valuable
information was received, published
and distributed among the farmers of
Canada. The consignments were made
up from the experimental farms, and
the cattle met with a very favorable
reception from British feeders and
proved to be profitable purchases. One
steer obtained the championship at the
Norwich fat stock show last year., A
shipment of chilled meat was made,
but the results were not eucouraging,
and everything points to the advisea,
bility of developing the stocker trade
to the limit. In co-operation with the
Department of the Interior grazing
lease conditions have been greatly
improved from the ranchers' stand-,
point.
In 1923 Canada sent aczess about
50,000 head of stone cattle. Thi
number was increased to 80 000 in
1924, and there is an increase of about
60 per cent. over the sarne period last
year so fax this season. The depart -
merit takes every precaution to sea
that only absolutely healthy a-nd
vigorous animals are sent to thelerit-
ish market.
