The Redding (Independent) says that
the railroad people are getting ready to
tskea freh start to push forward the
road into Oregon, judging from the
movements of surveyors and owners of
railroad building outfits. The survey
ors are having their saplies forwarded
to Delta, and the buildjng outfits are
being hauled to the third crossing above
Elmore's and to Scobieville, uhich is
indicative of the resumption cf work
in early spring. On the other hand,
it is said that the railroad company
will net build the road unless capita
lists advance the money, but as rail
road shares are now vert low, it is not
probabli that much money to carry on
the work can be raised from that
source.
Cl)tain Beerher, oa of) Rev Hrn
GroiuinJ Cherries.
Mn, Edituh: By your permission
nnd for the consideration cf fruit
growers, I will offtrthe conehision I
ha"e arrived at after experimenting rn
this Mil jt'Ct for a long timr. It is a
well kimwn fact that nearly all of the
finer varieties of cherries that have
been planted in this part of the county
have proved failuies except in favored
localities where they are protected,
from the direct rays of the sun in the
main heat of the day. We notice thore
f'an'el in expospd places (as most,
srr) oon start into a thrifty grc-wth
until they begin to bar fruit, then
there bigins to ooze from the trunk
of the tree little balls of transparent
auibvr colored gum. One or two
crops of fruit and the tree is a thing
of the past.
On examining them we find they
haie been grafted in or near -th
roots; also that the birk is thick, saft
very porus and well supplied with
strong suc'ion valves. Now w should
uudeistand that treps of this nature
are very sensative to every change of
temperature except in winter while
dormant they start vigorously in the
spring'and seem to grow with increased
raiiiUit until the intense heat of Bom.
raer seta in; and tho ground gets
warm and dry, thm the trees failing to
receive a sufficient quantity iif sap to
meut the requirements for growth and
evaporation, begin to show signs of
f Jcay; the leaves droop and lose their
healthy c6'.or, little indentures appear
on the bait from which tho gum
exudes and contincRS until the tree is
dead. On examining thuse is process"
of decay we notice that it requires a
copious flow of sip to fill this thick
porous bark, and also that tho evapor
ation from such bark is neeeissri y
vary great, so much that thi sap be
comes thick and waxy, forms into
blisters and hursts the bark. We
uotice alo that the larger and liner the
variety tha more they are subject to it;
this is because the fruit always cifes
pontjs with tho bark. And now to
curt those affected put a box around
1hm 10 or 12 inches square, reaching
from tho ground to the limbs, Gil it
with dirt, Ieive it there till it rots
away, keep the ground well mulched
around the tree that it may retain
moisture. It helps all cherry treps to
k"pp an open box nrtinnd the trunk.
The next hest plan is plant on the
north side of a building; hut the b?st
plan that I have tried is to graft or
bud high up on the English M&zirtl.
They are very thrifty, smooth, hardy
trees; their natural fruit is of no
value bping nearly all seed?, though
the fruit is of good flavor. All of
thoe-choio varieties when grafted on
the Mazard high enough and properly
cired for, very soon, spread out into
large magnificent and beautiful tie
anti wil h-i.tr. abundantly of the finest
quality. I have oho of 10 yrarf
Towth that ntrasurps 37 inr1i.i o
feet troWTtb eraacri-d-U
,;.,
top about 30 feet high. Therefore
take goad s.sre of tha cherry trees for
thcro is noue so valuable.
