A German chemist is working on
a process which is expected to
make wood pulp available as a sub
stitute for cotton in the manufac
ture of high power explosives. The
pulp is prepared and made into
sheets much the same as in the
manufacture of paper. The only
difficulties yet remaining arise
from the fact that the material
contains impurities which make the
explosive uncertain and highly
dangerous to handle.

Orcharding and
Gardening
Eight Studies In Handling the Or
chard and Garden.
EDITOR'S NOTE.
The Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas, in co-operation
with the United States Department of
Agriculture, will offer this year,
through this paper, a free correspond
ence course in "Orcharding and Gar
dening," consisting of four lessons in
each subject, under the direction of
t’rof. W. H. Wicks of the College of
Agriculture. These lessons will appear
in this paper at intervals of six weeks.
Those who w-ish to take this course
should write to the Director of the Ex
tension Division of the University of
Arkansas, at Fayetteville, stating
name, age, occupation, and a word
about his or her general education, and
• tating that he (or she) proposes to
’any the work through for the eight
lessons. A farmers’ bulletin will be
tent to supplement lesson No. 1, ami
ater for each lesson, if the question
alank be returned for the preceding
esson. These blanks will be sent with
’ach bulletin. The lessons on "Or
■harding" will be "Planting the Or
hard." "Orchard Management." "Har
'estlng and Marketing." and "Fighting
nsects and Diseases." Extra proof
iheets of this lesson will be kept for
hose who may decide later to under
ake the course.—J. H. Miller, Director
.'o-operative Extension Work.
. PLANTING A HOME ORCHARD.
Location.
If possible, the home orchard should
to planted upon a sloping site, aiming
:o avoid "frosty pockets” and places
where the land is apt to be wet and
frosty. If placed upon a site where
the land Is apt to be rather wet, the
soil should he tile drained, but, as a
rule. It is best to plant upon places
where no artificial drainage is nec
essary.
Soil.
Good fruit can he grown upon a
great variety of soils, and it is better
to have the home orchard on soil that
Is not perfectly congenial than not to
have any at all. At the same time
each fruit seems to have its soil pre
ferences, and, if possible, we should
plan tlie different fruits where the soil
is congenial. As a rule, the stone
fruits, like the peach and cherry, like
a fairly sandy warm soil, while the
plome fruits, such as the apple ami
pear, demand a heavier type of soil, in
any case the soil for the homo orchard
should have tlie three essentials, good
drainage, good texture and fair fer
tility.
Choosing Varieties.
In choosing varieties for the horn"
orchard, one should not select the
same varieties that he would for com
mercial planting. The home fruit
grower raises fruit for pleasure and
for eating; market value is not of con
cern. This is important, because some
varieties are good for the market, but
very poor for home use. The commer
cial grower might make more money
out of the Rpn Davis apple, but the
Grimes or Jonathan are much better
for home use. In the first place se
lect varieties tliat thrive in your lo

cality and Rive preference to varie
ties of high quality. Good culture can
not atone in the future for the selec
tion of poor varieties, and, for this
reason, it is important to select va
rieties of high quality at the begin
ning. Another factor to consider in
the varieties for the home orchard is
choosing the varieties that suit your
special taste. Each planter will have
to decide these things for himself, if
in doubt as to the varieties best suit
ed to your locality and tastes, send to
the Arkansas Experiment Station for
Bulletin 11 fi.
Selecting Nursery Stock.
One cannot be ton careful in select
ing nursery stock for home planting.
The common mistakes made are se
lecting cheap trees and ordering from
unreliable nurseries. Cheap trees are
poor economy and are very apt to be
untrue to name. They are expensive
at any price. First class trees from a
reliable nursery must he expected to
cost more than poor trees from a poor
ly managed nursery. Patronize a
nearby nursery, other things being
equal, so that you will be able to go
and inspect the stock yourself before
buying.
Planting.
The ground for the orchard should
be as well if not better prepared than
for any farm crop. Fall and winter
planting is probably best with the
conditions we have to deal with in
tliis statp. This enables the tree to
cet well established before spring and
I here is less danger of damage by the
summer drought. Severe losses can
often be prevented by the proper treat
ment of the trees at the time of plant
ing. Put off the bruised and broken
ends of roots and thin out the crowd
ing and interlacing ones. A large
part of the root surface has been cut
off at the time of digging and to meet
this loss the top should be cut back
one-third to one-half. In pfanting, too
much care cannot be given in placing
the trees in a permanent position. As
a rule, trees are planted in squares,
locating the position of the tree by
measure or by sighting. After the lo
cations of the trees ar° found, it is
well to use a common planting board,
which consists of a small board about
five feet long, with a notch in either
end and a notch in the middle. The
middle notch is placed at the stake
where the tree is to he planted and
other stakes are driven in the notches
at the end. Then the planting board
Is taken away and the hole dug. Then
the board is placed back in the posi
tion and this locates the position of
the tree while planting and insures
straight rows. If a very impervious
nib-soil is found, perhaps a little dyna
mite could be used to advantage. In
most locations, however, dynamite
will not be necessary.
