THE SCHOOL GARDEN IN « MAY. 1 There are few better months than May in which to study the i roots of young plants,* according 4o 1 the New Jersey Experiment Sta- ; tion. Especially is this true in school garden work, because attention to the garden slackens up in 1 the summer months, and by fall the older roots have started to de- 1 cay. All plants, including weeds, 1 are actively making roots, and the < development of the tap roots and ' branched systems is easily made out. One can judge at that season i which crops need a deep soil and which will thrive in a less depth, i which need much space between i rows and between plants, and ■ which will endure crowding. There • is a very practical side to such root ' studies in their application to the < problems of transplanting, the sue- i cess or failure of which depends so • closely upon attention to the roots. ' Then there is that ever-present ' subject of weeds. When their ad- ' mirable adaptations for survival ' under hard conditions, and espec- ! ially their root adaptations, are < rightly understood, the operation 1 of weeding, if still necessary, will ' at least be robbed of part of its • drudgery. Often during the latter part of May the question of watering liecomes a frequent one. and indeed ' is always timely if much trans- ' planting is being done. Left to 1 themselves, children will almost in- * variably he satisfied with a mere surface watering, stopping when - the upper soil looks wet. It is no t difficult matter to show them, by I a little digging, how little real ben- i efit results from such careless watering. and if such a lesson can be , strongly impressed there will he , fewer lawns, gardens, and window t boxes showing the effects of the ^ next spell of dry weather. PROFIT OR- LOSS WITH . PEACHES. , j HOW AND WHY. ( New Jersey has a reasonable outlook < an enormous peach crop for tlie coming season. This Joes not mean, however, that all peach growers arc going to make money. Only those who ' have perfect fruit, large, well-colored and free from blemishes and who put their product on the market in an attractive package will win out and command top prices. The extension specialist in fruit growing at the New Jersey Agricultural Station recommends Clean Cultivation, thorough spraying, proper J thinning and proper grading in order j

that the grower may produce the best of fruit and market it at a profit. To obtain sire the first requisite is plenty of moisture in the soil. This can conserved by thorough cultivation from now until the first of August. This will serve to keep the surface soil loose and free from weeds and to keep all crusts broken. Peaches should be thinned after tlie first June crop, so that there will remain only one fruit for every 4 to 6 inches of twig space. Peaches the sire •if walnuts won't sell this year. Thorough spraying will insure fruit .'hat is clean and free from blemishes. To control cnreulio, arsenate of lead at tlie rate of 1 3-4 pounds powder or 3 pounds paste, to 50 gallons of water 'liquid be used as a spray when the sliuek slips and the fruit is the sire of a pea. This spray is necessary throughout the State anil in sections where peach scab and brown rot are prevalent, self -boiled lime and sulphur should bo studied with the arsenate spray. Selflime and sulphur alone or without tlie addition of lead should be applied at intervals of three weeks following the spraying made when the calyces shucks are shedding. Only two sprayings of the self-hoilisl lime sulfur are necessary for good results in the control of scab and brown rot upon varieties ripening previon«lv to August 1. All •arieties ripening between August 1 and. ^-pfemb-r 1 should receive three applications three weeks apart. Varieties ripening later than September 1 will be benefitted by a fourth application of the mixture. The application of self-boiled lime sulphur is not neci-ssary for tlie production of fruit free from scab upon finhighlands of the northern counties of | the State.' llare in picking and grading and the use of new baskets or carriers, togefher with careful parking, are essentials in elevating the price. The high quality product takes preference during a period of glut. Tlie final suggestion of the New Jersey Station ofVcial is that growers should order baskets or carriers early, as soon as they are sure of a crop.

FARM DEMONSTRATION NOTES Mr. C M. Arthur, who ia making a I ( study of marketing and market meth- ( ods in New Jeraey for the New Jeraey ' Agricultural Experiment Station, waa in this county Thursday and Friday with the County Farm Demonstrator - for the purpose of securing some data on the marketing of tomatoes as prac- ^ ticed by the farmers in Cape May CounSeveral farmers were visited in the Middle and Upper Townships who gave I Mr. Arthur complete knowledge of the | ways practiced in marketing their to-. . ma toes. ( Farm Management i ■ A short article on farm management t will be published in this paper from J time to time. Read these articles over t as they contain many good points that e will help the enthusiastic farmer. r Shall I Be a Farmer t ■ When one is trying to decide as to g the best occupation to follow, be ( should first consider the personal characteristics that are" necessary for sue- j, cess in the kind of work that he pro- p poses to undertake. Some persons, who j may succeed well in the very specialised f callings in the town or city, may not h; qualified for farming, because farming c calls for such versatile ability. The j farmer is a combination of business ^ man, mechanic, naturalist, and laborer. 1. The Farmer as a Business Man — ^ In the days of otir fathers the farm family raised practically everything . that it needed. The few things not ^ raised were received in trade at the vil- ^ lage store. A few dollars a year were sufficient for the family needs. The ^ measure of the farmer's success was his ^ ability to raise his own food and clothing rather than his ability to organize his business and buy and sell. The ^ changes that took place in agriculture from the time David tended his flocks ^ up to the last century were small in ^ tfemparison with the revolution that has since occurred. With the introduc- ^ tion of machinery in the factory and on the farm, money has become necessary or the farmer. The farm no longer supplied his needs. He sells most of his products and buys ^ most of his necessities. Not only must he have money to buy the innumerable neceasary tilings for his living and equipment, but land, which was once t to be had for the asking, is now dear. ^ t. All these changes mean that the farmg er has become a business man. He pron duces and sells and buys. These changes ' „ demand the application of business j principles in farming. So long as the \ il family lived directly from the farm, p there was very little need for such prin- ] ciplcs. e The kind of business ability needed ; [ is not so much that of the trader as of - ' the executive who can organize a farm . into a successful business enterprise. "The idle horse in the bam is a more frequent source of loss than is the bad , 'l bargain in buying a liorse." Bm More farmers fail because of poor farm management than because of poor , production. This ia to be expected, since , "r tliP-t>rinciples of crop growth are much , 10 the same as they alwav\ were while the proper organization of the farm changes ; with every new invention. "More farm"e ers fail because the size of the farm '' or kind of farming does not keep men. * horses, and machinery properly emplov- ^* e<l than fail because of poor crops." '* The successful farmers must plan their work ahead of time. It ia not . enough that he have a plan for field * work. He should always have a plan '* of what to do if it storms. He must *' forsee most things that are about to go. ' '' wrong and prevent tliein from going * wrong. 11 GEORGE R. THRASHER.

' It is suggested that fruit growers and 1 truckers, who are likely to be in need of 1 vonng men who can pack fruit, and do 1 other work, should correspond with the • Horticulturist at the Station and get 1 further facts in regard to these young men. There is a possibility also, that the Station might be able to give a ' number of these young men practical ' Hacking experience at the State Exper- 1 imental orchard at Vineland. previously 1 to the time when they might be engaged ! by any fruit growers. Such plans and 1 j arrangements would need to be made j, soon, as the students are already mak- | ing plans for the summer.

In view of this fse4 'lie Vtstion feels that a word core rpii"' s foresig'ited . policy on the part of farm*"* in th» I matter of providing '"r e*"ta:ner» and packages of various kinds i« not out of place. Box f-etories and manufacturers of other packages are reported to be receiving orders now for packages d e. I sired by farmers.

T' • logical time to take stock of the pac'* 1 age supply is in the winter or earlv spring while other work is not pressing, but it is not too late vet to insure 1 against worry over a package scarcity , later in the season. This advice applies 1 this season especially to peach growers. In so nle cases where labor is avail1' able It will be cheaper to make recepta1 cles at the farm, ai)d this work should 1 not be postponed too long.
