The Faithful
Cherry Tree
VIGOROUS TIMELY '
AND PRODUCTIVE
By D C Mooring
Department of Horticulture and
Botany Oklahoma A & M
College Stillwater Oklahoma
It will be only a short time until
many people will be placing orders
for fruit trees for fall delivery By
ordering early you will come nearer
getting the full list of varieties or-
dered than by waiting late
One kind of fruit too frequently neg-
lected in making up an order la the
cherry The cherry will come as near
bearing a crop each year as any of
the other fruits On account of ripen-
ing its fruit early the fruit is not so
likely to suffer from drought The
fruit Is comparatively free from in-
sects and diseases
The scarcity of fruit at cherry sea-
son enables a person to dispose of hls
surplus fruit for a good price
Last year the Horticultural Depart-
ment sent out over a thousand in-
quiries to different fruit growers In
this state in order to learn what va-
riety were most successful and
has listed the varieties named In
their order of populartly together
with a few descriptive remarks:
Early Richmond “One of our sour
cherries Tree vigorous productive
fruit medium size quality medium
market and home season early”
English Morello “Another one of
the sour cherries Tree not very
large but vigorous and productive
fruit large skin dark red quality me-
dium market and home season late”
Large Montmorency “A sour cher-
ry Tree not very vigorous but
healthy productive fruit large skin
dark red quality good home and
local market season a week or 'ten
days later than Early Richmond"
Dye House "A mixture of Morello
and Duke Tree moderately vigorous
productive fruit large skin red
quality good home use season very
early”
May Duke “Semi-sweet Tree char-
acters variable In different sections
Productive when healthy fruit large
skin end becoming very dark when
fully ripe quality very good home
season moderately early”
BANK SILO
1 am expecting to build a silo this
fall and am undecided as to the ma-
terial to use I have been thinking
strongly of building of cement I have
on my place at a convenient location
a gyp knob or bank such as are com-
mon in this section of Oklahoma and I
thought this could be cut down and a
silo cut Into the bank pretty cheap In
that way the walls except one side
would be solid earth and all I would
have to do would be to cement the
walls and concrete the front and put
Ip the doors I would be glad to have
your opinion and advice on cement
whether or not you think It would be
practical I would also like to have
your opinion and advise on cement
silos generally with an estimate of
cost” — M L H Custer County Okla
With regard to the bank alio you
are suggesting I know of only
one ifoasible objection to your build-
ing one in that way and that Is the
difficulty of making an air tight and
strong connection between the cement
wall and cement It Into the gypsum
bank so that It would not crack loose
at the edges letting in air I think that
It ought to work all right that Is pro-
vided the location is suitable and that
you will have no difficulty in cement-
ing the other three sides
Cement silos are practically even
lasting and fireproof If a man Is cer-
tain of always having hls farm build-
ings in the same place and has the
money to put up' a cement silo they
will probably prove the cheapest in
the long run As a rule they will cost
about $500 per ton capacity or $40000
of $50000 for a 100-ton silo The
cement should be well reinforced with
Iron rods or steel wire and should be
made as nearly as possible of the same
consistency aB the upper part of the
cement Bidewalk — C I Bray Depart-

FALL BLOSSOMS FOR BEES
“What kind of buckwheat should I
sow for beeB? Is there anything else
that I could sow now that would
bloom this fall for the bees to work
on?” — C B Conrad Craig CountA
Okla
There are only two common va-
rieties of buckwheat grown the Jap-
anese and Silver Hall and there Is
pracflcally no difference in these
either In yield or time of blossoming
If the conditions are at all favorable
they should produce a large number
of blossoms this fall when seeded
this late I doubt very much If sweet
clover or any of the other plants which
are commonly grown for bees will
blossom when seeded this late Buck-
wheat 1b usually seeded at the rate of
two pecks per acre on land that Is
prepared the same as for wheat It
oan be either broadcasted or drilled
but pbould not be planted very deeply
Sympathy wTth animals blesses and
humanizes Men and women To get
Into real relations with an animal Is a
liberal education It Is sometimes to
be really Interested even In a plant
and to observe the working of life In

Dodder in Alfalfa
“Find enclosed sample of a para
sltlcal plant I find in a field of alfal-
fa Is It dodder? And if so how cqm
I get rid of It?” — A S Grant County
Okla ( ’
The plant enclosed In your letter
of June 21 Is a species of dodder This
Is a parasite and is often found grow-
ing upon alfalfa and clover to which
crops it Is quite Injurious
In trying to get rid of dodder one
should begin early In the season be-
fore It Bpreads and before the seed
has matured Whatever means are
adopted ' should be persisted in until
all of the doider is exterminated Too
often people will start trying to get
rid of some weed work Industriously
for awhile and then when success is
about In sight they become discour-
aged and quit and thus all of their
labor Is lost
There are Beveral methods which
might be adopted In the flrBt place
where the dodder occure In small
patches and the seed has matured
or about so It Is much better to burn
It on the spot after drying Quite fre-
quently straw or other inflammable
material is thrown upon the dry al-
falfa and dodder before burning By
this method the matured seeds are de-
stroyed At the same time however
the roots of the crop are likely to be
injured
When the dodder occupies a large
patch the alfalfa Is often cut for hay
before the seed is matured and tbe
ground occupied by 4he dodder is
plowed Immediately This method ac-
complishes nothing It the seed of tbs
dodder has matured
The most effective method is pre-
vention by taking care to bow only
dodder free seed One should not
try to purchase cheap seed for this
is often dear enough in the end The
seed should always be tested for Im-
purities Samples may be sent to the
Experiment Station at Stillwater and
will be tested free of charge This
however takes time and the purchas-
er may test hls own seed To do this a
hand magnifying glass is required
Dodder seeds may be distinguished
from alfalfa seeda by the fact that they
are minutely roughened spherical to
flattened and ova) and dull In color
while clover and alfalfa seeds are
smooth triangular oval or kidney-
shaped and sometimes lustrous — W

BIND WEED
“I am sending a sample of a weed
that grows In our peach orchard They
grow In a vine on the ground and come
up from the seed Please tell me what
they are and how we can get rid of
them” — L E T Ellis County Okla
The weed enclosed Is doubtless the
small bindweed known botanically as
Convolvulus arvenslt This Is quite a
common weed pest over the state
In order to exterminate this weed
If It occupies a large patch probably
the best method is to plow the ground
harrowing thoroughly preferably with
a spring tooth harrow or otherwise
rake off all the plants Including the
roots These should then be burned
Whenever a piece of root becomes
hurled In the soil It will grow and pro-
duce a new plant so that one should
be careful to get all of the roots Af-
terward practice clean cultivation and
pull up isolated plants or cut them out
with a hoe or other Instrument Be
sure to get the roots and not to allow
new plants to go to seed
Seeding the land to alfalfa Is some-
times successful in getting rid of this
pernicious weed The alfalfa plants
shade the weedB and the frequent cut-
tings Interfere seriously with their
growth Hogs are said to like the
underground parts of the plant and It
Is said that the weed may be exter-
minated by pasturing hogs on the
patch
We often get letters saying that cer-
tain weeds cannot be killed It Is
doubtless true that It Is very difficult
to exterminate some weed but there Is
no plant living which cannot be ex-
terminated if a persistent effort Is
made Plants like all living things
require food and while some materials
are taken from the soil by the roots
plant food is manufactured wholly In
the leaves of the plant so that If a
plant Is not permitted to have leaves
or any part above ground It Is bound
to die in time Some weedB have large
fleBhy roots — that Is they have man-
ufactured food stored In their roots—
and so can persist for some time
When a start Is once made toward
getting rid of any weed it should be
persisted In until every weed has dis-
appeared Not a single plant should
be allowed to go to seed for to do so
often means the continuation of the
work for several seasons and perhaps
the loss of the time and labor of pre-
vious seasons — W G Stover Depart-
ment of Horticulture and Botany Ok-

Have Alfalfa Seed Tested
Before buying alfalfa seed send an
ounce of It to the Experiment Station
Stillwater Oklahoma and ask that a
germination teBt and an analysis for
weed seeds be made It la unsafe to
sow alfalfa seed without knowing that
It Is free from weed seed and that It
will grow A little trouble taken be-
fore sowing may prevent a whole lot
pf trouble fighting dodder or other
pests after the alfalfa la established
IMPORTANCE OF WATER FOR DAIRY COWS
Enjoyment
Water that Is at the temperataure
of melting ice should not be given to
animals and especially to milk cows
Much of the falling off of milk ascribed
to cold weather is properly due to
giving cows cold water to drink All
stock should be watered twice a day
The water from a deep well is com-
paratively warm and just the right
temperature for the cattle The wa-
ter should lie pumped Into a long
trough and after the cattle have drank
all they want the balance of the water
should be drawn off Horses should
never begl-ven Ice-cold water as It Is
liable to produce colic and other stom-
ach troubles
Sheep drink very little water In cold
CURING COW PEA HAY
Not as Easily Done as With the
Clover Crop
Vines Contain Great Surplus of Water
and This Must Be Taken Out by
the Sun Before Hay la Bulked
— GSood Plan Is Given
(By H H GRINSTEAD Missouri)
Some of the overzealous claim that
pea hay Is as easily cured as clover
but I have not found this to he tbf
case 1
To be Biare one should not be dis-
couraged from growing peas on so-
count of tlue difficulty of curing the
hay for the extra labor in curing the
hay Is amply repaid In the superior
quality of feed
Pea vines contain a great surplus of
water and this must be cured out by
the sun before the hay i a bulked It
Is best to let it lie on tbe ground as
long as possible without Injury then
put Into the shocks
It must be handled as much as pos-
sible In th early morning while the
Oo'o
irvesting Cow
dew Is on in order to prevent the scat-
tering of the leaves which are the
most valuable part of the- plant
If one has a large bam where there
Is a good circulation 'of air the hay
may be put there even before It Is
thoroughly cured provided It Is not
bulked In large quantities
It Is not possible to Btack pea hay
In the open with any degree of suc-
cess unless special preparations are
made
In Texas where a great deal of this
popular forage Is grown It Is stacked
In the field by setting four posts In
the ground making a square 12 feet
across
The cured hay is stacked between
these till about four feet deep then
four strong poles are spiked or wired
to the posts and several other poles
laid across these making a platform
that will hold another layer of hay
when tbe same process is repeated till
the top of the posts Is reached all be-
ing covered with grass hay of some
kind to keep dry
In this -way the hay will settle leav-
ing an alx space where the poles are
laid across The stack may he made
smaller tLan 12 feet If desired and
where th-ere Is not much In bulk it
may be stacked before being perfectly
dry
Never bale pea hay from a barn un-
less It has had a month In which to
cure It ” will mold easily and he
worthless but when cured properly
cannot be beaten even by clover or
alfalfa'

moisture at the right tlmq

en warm mlllfeed slop Cold slop Is
not an economical food for hogs
Poultry will drink several times S

drain to carry eft the balance of wa-

FEEDING VALUES OF GRAINS
Combination of Corn and Clover Will
Make Most Economical Food-
Few Interesting Facts
Based on the average farm price of
feeds for the last ten years oatB are
worth rn the farm $1937 per ton and
have a ding value of $2110 barley
is worth $1760 per ton and has a
feeding value of $2198 corn Is worth
$1363 per ton and baa a feeding
value of $2266 In other words at
the average farm price a dollar’s
worth of feed In oats costs 92 cents
in barley 80 cents and In corn 66
cents The feeding value Is figured
on the basis of bran at $20 per ton
On this same basis a dollars’ worth
of food nutriments could 'be supplied
in clover hay for 40 cents in fodder
corn 67 cents and In timothy hay for
0 cents lnensllage for 78 cents
In view of the above facts It Is
plain that a combination of corn and
clover will make a most economical
feed
Economy Is Wealth
The Swisi set an example “Nothing
Wasted Makes Wealth” which we may
imitate with profit In this rocky land
nothing Is wasted Even the count-
less wild flowers are faithfully gleaned
by the bees for the nectar and while
the colonies average less than 56
pounds apiece it represents almost
entirely a surplus without extra
labor aggregating $2500000 annually
Every farm home may support from
two to ten swarms with almost as lit-
tle expenditure Figure out for your-
self how much we lose by not doing it
Water for Pigs
Pigs like a drink of pure water once
or twice a day In summer We some-
times forget that a hog wants some
real thirst-quenching drink sometimes
that has no gruel grain or dishwater
in It As to dish water It has very
little value above water and unless
bran or middlings are mixed In It Is
usually a villainous mess to make
prime pork or bacon out of
In order to have good-sized sheep
grow them rapidly while young
It is Important that some grain be
fed pigs intended for the market
