At the World’s Fair the Committee on
Nomenclature alter some of the names
of Oregon fruits shipped for exhibition,
but they unanimously agree that the
color, flavor, texture and genera! excel­
lence of the frnit are remarkable and
unsurpassed. The fruits have all been
latvled with the names of the growers
who produced them, and they derive all
the benefit arising from the publicity
liven. The managers of the Oregon ex-
libits are using their very best endeav­
ors to place exhibits in such a position
as to catch the eyes of the capitalists
and those who are seeking h om es. It is
surprising to note the great number of
people who are so much interested, and
who want all the literature they can pro­
cure on the subject. The exhibits will
be the means of inducing many of the
beet class of homeseekers to locate in
Oregon during the next fire years, and
f
wHJ bring anlimited capital.

Som e F acts A bout Preparing tho
Ground for W h eat — Other
Interesting Matter.
It is very important to prepare tlie
seed be«! for wheat in a gooil coudi,ion
What is neede«l is three or four inches of
finely pulverized soil aud a reu.iouably
soliil seed bed underneath. After tin-
plowing is done tlie instrnmuuUi neces­
sary to properly prepare in a suitable
condition can best be determined by the
condition and character of the soil.
When the soil is in a condition to plow
well and then can be harrowed as fast as
plowed, the work of preparing in a goo«l
tilth can be greatly lessened. But it is
often tlie case before the plowing can be
done the ground gets hard and «Try, and
it will require considerable work to se­
cure tlie proper tilth. Hard lumps can
he worked down with a drag or roller,
and with a drag it may be necessary to
go over twice. Tlie disc harrow can after
be used to a good advantage in fining
the soil. If hard rains have run tiie soil
togettier, tlie disc or Acme harrow can
be used to a good ailvantage. There is
ail ailvantage in using the rollers and
drag, especially in leveling and fining
tlie soil, while tlie disc or Acme harrows
are neeileil if the soil becomes packed.
Generally it is best to go over sufficiently
often to keep down the green growth
that may start up and to keep the sur­
face mellow, using tiie implement best
suited to keep the soil in this condition
with the least work. Generally before
drilling it will be a good plan to use the
spike-tooth harrow and tiien the roller;
this will leave tlie soil in good shape for
ilrilling. If the roller is not use«!, tlie
harrowing should ni-arlv always be «lone
crosswise the way tlie drilling is to ini
done, as otherwise it is sometimes diffi­
cult to follow tlie drill rows. By getting
tlie soil in a good tilth before sowing tlie
seed a much better germinator of the
se«-«l ami a more vigorous start to grow
can I k - secured. In order to do this to
tiie licet ailvantage the work should be
commence«! as soon after plowing as [ kjs -
silile. But sometimes, wtien the grounii
is hard and dry, it may be necessary to
wait, until after a rain softens the lumps,
when the work can be puslie«! along very
rapidly. But in all cases it will pay to
work until tlie soil is in a good tilth be­
fore sowing the.seed. By having the soil
in a good tilth when tlie proper time for
sowing arrives tlie work can be pushed
along very rapidly.
TllK IMPROVEMENT OF LAND.
There are varidus ways in which land
may be greatly improved, and the care­
ful farmer who wishes to make a success
in his business will always be on the
alert for new methods of culture, and
« ill also follow those which lie lias fouml
from actual trial to be good. Good drain­
age is essential for land on which cereal
crops are to tie raise«!. A farmer may
easily obtain information regarding the
drainage of a piece of larnF by digging
holes four or five feet deep and noting
where tlie water standH in these. On
corn land this water level should be forty-
two inches below the surface. Another
metho<l of improving tlie soil is by thor­
ough cultivation. This is necessary in
order to obtain the best results. Opin­
ions differ very widely in regard to <li>ep
ami shallow plowing. At tho Perdue
find.) experiment station experiments
have been minle on corn plats, plowing
four to twelve inches deep. The first
year there was no perceptible difference,
hut the second vear there was a great
gain from deep plowing and sabeoiling.
The effects of <U-ep plowing and subsoil-
ing are not always apparent the first
year, hut where it has iie«-n practiced the
crop of wheat ttie second year lias been
double that of a field shallow plowed,
with the sameamimntof manure applied
toeiu-h. Subxoiling loosens up more of
the earth, nnd furnishes more plant food
an«l moisture than shallow plowing. In
elav lands it is desirable to change tha
eomlitions in order to keep it from bak­
ing during very dry weather. Air-slak«sl
lime is one of tlie iM>st substances which
can be used for this purpose. The
amount to apply varies, ranging from
three to twelve tons per acre, according
to the stiffness in tlie clay. Application
can tie mail«: at intervals of seven to ten
years. If. A._ Huston, Indiana State
Chemist, advises farmers with hcavv
elav lands to experiment with a small
field ill this way, ts-ing earefnl that tlie
lime is left in small piles long enough to
become well air-slaked, and then have it
ilistriliuted and well mixed with the soil.
Using lime in this wav makes tlie laml
easy to pulverize, ami changes it from a
liaril compact muss to one easily broken
into particles which the plant roots can
penetrate. Halt is also used sometimes
in tlie same way, and has the same effect
on the soil, but is not always beneficial;
■ hence lime is more highly recommended.
plant trees .
No matter whether a farmer wants to
plant spruce for timber, a few on the
windward side of the houses and barns
to shelter them from the fierce storms
will prove a profitable investment. The
Norway spruce is a rapid grower, and a
windbreak once planted will every year
prove more valuable. It makes a better
« imlbreak to plant two rows about ten
feet apart, with some deciduous trees
between. What wind one tree «loes not
obstruct the other row will catch.
Do not let stock lose flesh during hot
weather. Better feed hay or green corn
ttian allow animals to become poor.
