Some or the most widely-known authorities in agricul ture are on the 'program whicn is ex ceptionally good this year. Our readers should write to "School of Agriculture, State College, Pa." for programs that will inform them re garding the lectures and their sub jects. Anyone who has ever attend ed one of these 'Farmers week 'meet ings knows their value to practical men, but there are other thousands of farmers who should avail themselves of this opportunity 'for meeting with the leaders In the best agricultural practices. This conference of farm ers is divided into sections so that horticulturists, dairymen, anlmal husbandrymen, general farmers, etc., may give all their time during the week to the particular line of sub jects that interests them.

Much is being written at this time on tho subject of "blasting the soli at the point where young trees are to be set. Prof. Surface, State Zoolo gist, comments upon the use of ox plosives preparatory to planting, in a letter to a recent inquirer as 'fol lows: "Replying to your letter asking if you should use dynamite to mane holes ifor your apple trees, I beg to say that this depends entirely upon the conditions. If there is imper vious hardpan beneath your soil, or if there 1b a layer of rock, or any thing that will prevent the penetra tion by the roots, or the proper aa cumulation and retention of mols ture, it would be a good plan to shat ter the hardpan or bed rock by the use of dynamite. If the subsoil is loose, and there is no impervious or Impenetrable rock immediately be neath it, as is found in the strata bo low shale soil and gravel soil, and certain other conditions, it is not at all necesasry to use dynamite, and this may even result in some Injury 'Instead or henent. I believe it possible to make the subdrainage too complete for the good of the trees under certain cir cumstances. On the other hand, in cases where it is needed, it is desir able. 'Experiments are being con ducted now in several places to learn more about this. At the present time I would not advise our friends to rush tashly into the dynamiting process. It is "best to try it only on a few tree places, and watoh the results." TIMELY BREVITII In nil Jnpnn there are only half a dozen passenger or grain elevators. More than UU per cent of our farms are reported "owned free of debt." The apple crop for 11)11 Is placed at HO.OOO.OOO barrels, or 20 per cent above 1010.
