I would certainly, if I could get
nothing else, plant black jack acorns
aiong the fence lines. A nice clean
fence row looks better in a way, but
trees full of fruit look still better,
especially when it is remembered
that the price will be high this sea-
son. There will be plenty of peaches
sold at $3.00 per bushel and I know
of nothing else that is as near worth
three dollars. When peaches are
scarce grapes bring a good price and
for this reason I am giving my grapes
the best of care this year.

time the Blue Benner watermelon
originated by R. C. Govett who work-
ed; on this melon for four years be-
fore perfecting it. It is an oblong
blue rind melon with no white hearts.
The melons grow to weigh from
thirty to sixty pounds but will over-
bear if not thinned. Mr. Govett is a
pecan man of note and has several
pecans on the market. I have what is
called the Frierson Early or Japanese
watermelon that is the fastest ma-
turing melon I have ever raised.
One year I planted seed in the spring
grew them off and planted fresh
seed out of melons I had grown that
spring and matured them for fall
eating. Not very large and only for
a home melon.

In pruning, my main object is to
keep the trees from suckering below
the graft or bud. If this is not done
a good tree will soon turn into a
worthless seedling. Lots of orchard
men are now deciding the less prun-
ing the better. It pays to keep your
tiees dose to the ground to keep
the fruit from blowing otf. In a dry
windy countiy this is very important.
Then another reason is to keep the
body of the tree from sunburning.
This helps in preventing borers from
getting in the trees if the body of
the tree is burned the borer will
up in them. Yesterday evening late 1 s ,yin!r. ^at scientists aie fellows

her beds for the dahlia bulbs she mix-

time of drought.

More than likely you know more
about pruning than he dees. If you
do not feel capable of doing your
own pruning just let nature take
care of it for it does not pay to put
too much confidence in every Tom,

thing is to keep the seedling growth
down and it does not take an expert
to do this.

a quarter of a pound more per day
than those in a dry lot. There was
less opportunity for them to pick up
parasites. Aside from other things,
the pasture furnished vitamins, min-
erals, and exercise—all necessary
for speedy pork production.
Pigs should not be stinted with
too little pasture. The exact num-
ber ol pigs that can be canied per
acre depends on the pastuic. Pigs
like and make good gains on alfalfa,
lespedeza, rape, clovers, Sudan grass,

will keep it nice and fresh all the
year. There is one big sanitorium in
lent, green growth. The value of
pig pastures lessens as the growth
becomes woody. New growth follow-
ing a hay crop or clipping is good
feed.
Two or more pastures give an op-
portunity to shift the pigs when pas-
tures go down in feed value. Many
farmers use a number of small pas-
tures. Some plant late crops to
