Jacob Faith, the horticulturist, gives the following advise regarding the planting and care of fruit trees, in the El Dorado Sun—-and he knows | py our mistakes, for everyone makes | what he is talking about: The best time to plant apple, peach, cherry and pear trees and grape vines, is in the late fall after the leaves have | been killed by the frost, and during winter. After setting the trees out bank dirt around them and level it down in early spring. ,By doing this, they will get the winter and early sprin s, and thus make a vigor- ous i the first year, Cultivate your trees well until Aug- ust. Late cultivation will cause a late cultivation will cause a late growth | and much sap, and that will render them more liable to winter kill. Cow- peas are the best crop to plant in’ the young orchard. They will enrich the ground and will make no shade to injure the trees. If apple trees do not bear when from four to five years old, trim them in spring as soon as the leaves | Trimming them at! are-full grown. that season of the year, checks their growth and causes fruit buds to form for the next year’s crop. The best time to trim or prune all fruit trees is during the winter when the wood is not frozen and before the sap starts; but Iam sorry to say that much pruning is done in the spring when the sap is thin. It then runs from the cut, blackens the bark and poisons it as faras it runs. When limbs two inches or over in diameter are trimmed off, the wounds should be painted to keep it from * cracking and taking water. PUTNAM FADELESS DYES color silk, wool and iton at one boiling.

C., Dec. 18.—The calendar year 1910 is going to be the banner one for the world’s interna- tional trade, according to the Bureau of Statistics. Statistics from practically every country show that both imports and exports are considerably greater than in 1909. The bureau has received reports from twenty-seven countries which cover from six to ten months of the calendar year 1910. In all of them the figures of imports show a marked increase in the month- ly averages as compared with the corresponding period of 1909, The exports also are considerably larger, except in Argentina and Bulgaria. Considering the countries for which figures are at hand, the monthly im- ports and exports show an_ increase of about 9 per cent as compared with the corresponding months of last year, and it is believed the world’s inter- national commerce for 1910 probably will show exports valued at between $14,000,000,000 and $15,000,000,000, while imports are expected to aggre- gate more than $16,000,000,000.

ADDRESS BUTLER, MISSOU Noh ‘State Fair Board Planned. Columbia, Mo., Dee. 18.—A plan to regenerate the St. Loui r and to create new fields of greater importance than anything of the kind which has heretofore been held in Missouri, is indorsed by the State Board of Agri- culture. T.C. Wilson, secretary of the board, is this week sending letters to every county fair association in Missouri, asking them to appoint delegates to the Farmers’ Week meetings to be held at the agricultural college.of the University of Missouri, January 10 to 13, at which time a bill embodying the chief features of the proposed State board of fairs and fair manage- ment will be discussed. A company composed of St. Louis men has secured an option on 100 acres of jand near Kinloch, to hold good until afterthe Legislature meets, and in the event of favorable action a fair will be launched which will be the equal of anything of similar nature in the country. The object of a State board of fairs is to do away with gambling and un- desirable features of fairs, to prevent conflict in dates of county fairs, and to promote the educational and amuse- ment features of the fair system in Missouri. Every exhibitor of stock will be re- quired under the new law to submit with his exhib't a statement of the breeding and pedigree of his stock or of poultry or other product. The reason for this plan is that under the present system the farmer | reads that a certain animal won a) prize, but his information stops there. He is unable to learn how the animal , was bred or how the ear of prize corn aduate of one of the largest auc- tion schools in the world, and I absolute- Put your property in my hands and I will REFERENCE ssouri; A, W.-Cies, Chillicothe, | RESULTS GUARANTEED SATIS- | take no other.
