Hiliard ef Elmhurst Re- Naiied •• President of Illinois Body. Springfield.--With one exception, all the former officers of toe Illinois Master Plumbers* association were re-elected in the closing session of the three days' convention of the organi­ sation In Springfield. W. J. Hiliard of Elmhurst vm re­ elected president of the association; C. D. Brownell of Champaign was re­ elected first vice-president, and J. I* Robinron of Mason City was elected second vice-president to succeed Ber­ nard Gapse of Jacksonville. The ref- elected treasurer is Ol W. Dawson of Decatur. Following a heated debate tn which a faction of the convention favored the election of the secretary by a vote of the assembled delegates, it was de­ cided to continue the customary method of allowing the members of the executive committee to choose the officer. The movement to abolish the latter custom was the result of a rec­ ommendation of the national organiza­ tion of master plumbers, in which it was suggested that the secretary be actively engaged in the plumbing business. W. C. Haviland of Aurora, the present secretary, is only indi­ rectly connected with the plumbing trade. The executive committee, which Is composed of the officers of the or­ ganization and the past president, Is expected to name Mr. Haviland as the re-elected secretary, in spite of the recommendation. Frank U. Patterson Cfft Springfield, ex-president of the as­ sociation. is a member of the com­ mittee which will name the secretary at a meeting in the St. Nicholas hotel. The election of officers followed the complete reports of the various com­ mittees of the association. All the routine business of the convention was completed when the delegates ad­ journed. Many Puss Examination. In the list of those who took exam­ ination before the state/civil service commission on January 16 for posi­ tions as superintendent and assistant superintendents of the state mine res­ cue station, William J. Cummlngs passed both tests successfully. For the position of superintendent those who were successful, in the fol­ lowing order, were: . James Towal, Benton; Charles A. Sine, Johnstone City; Alexander S. Jones, La Salle; William J. Cummlngs. Springfield, and Thomas Rogers, La Salle. Fcr assistant superintendent, the or* der was: Charles A. Sine, Johnstone City; William J. Cummlngs, Spring­ field; James Towal, Benton; Alexan­ der Jones, La Salle; Thomas Rogers, La Salle; George T. Smith, Dawson; William J. McMillin, Streator, and Walter Nichols, Benton. Jsf oa Towal of Benton, who heads the list for superintendents, finished third for assistant. According to Sec­ retary" Robinson of the civil service commission, Towal probably will be given the position of superintendent at the station in La Salle, and the su­ perintendent at that place will be transferred to the Springfield station, where a vacancy exists at present, ow­ ing to a resignation.

MACK TURNER. (Extract From President's Address, State Horticultural Society.) Illinois endured an unusually severe winter in 1911-1912, causing the loss of hundreds of thousands of peach trees and severe Injury and loss of other fruit trees and bush planting!. Following thereon peaches failed en­ tirely. Plums, cherries and kleffer pears, however, bore abundantly. Ap­ ples were generally a failure in north­ ern Illinois, but fruited throughout most parts of central and southern Illinois in the orchards where care had been given. So plentiful was the crop in some sections that the orchard owners, unaccustomed to marketing their products, permitted them to waste on the ground. A year ago I referred briefly to sta­ tistics as regards tfie number of trees planted and the ratio of apple production in past years. Since then the 1910 census report has published some tables which may be of Interest to our members and I recommend that the secretary be instructed to publish some of these with our annual report. We would have expected a material increase in the number of bearing apple trees in Illinois from 1 S0o t<> 1910. The number fell, how- ev«r, rrom 13,480,000 in the former year to 9,910,000 in 1910, a loss of three snd one-half million treed. If this surprising loss were limited to lllnois, it might suggest the possi­ bility that this state shauld abandon all effort to excel in apple growing, hut how about the other states? New England lost $,000,000 apple trees during this period, New York nearly 4,000,000, the Virginias 4,000,- 000, Michigan 3,500,000. Ohio 4,600,000, Missouri 6,000,000, and all of these states, which produce more than half the apples grown in the United States, excepting only Illinois, Missouri and the Virginias, had much fewer trees In 1910 than they had in 1890. Illinois had a net gain of 3,000,000 trees over 1890. So whatever may have been the cause for this tremendous loss, whether It was due to the spread of fungous diseases and Insect enemies, to ill advised plantings, to soil and Climatic conditions or to natural de­ cay or to their removal to make room tor more profitable crops, Illinois at least Is in no worse position than any or all the states mentioned. Turningfrom the number of trees ORCHARD QUERIES AND THE REPUES By CHARLES 8. CRANOALL, Professor of Pomology, University ef Illinois. "What success has been attained In cherry culture In northern Illinois?" Regarding cherry culture in north­ ern Illinois, I can say that the sour cherries succeed admirably in most localities, and that these varieties are largely planted. The sweet cherry has been tried in many places, but the complaint in general is made that these varieties are not productive. The sour cherries do best when plant­ ed on rather high, dry land; the tex­ ture of the soil does not seem to make much difference, but the trees will not stand in soil that is retentive of water. I do not know that there are any Urge cherry trees in the northern part of the state, but small plantations are numerous and that there is an in­ creasing interest in this fruit seems to be indicated by the many requests re­ ceived for information regarding vsr rietles. I have in my yard a Siberian crab tree about ten years old, which is dying by degrees, and I am unable to ascertain the cause. It started In the top among the small branches, and is now spreading rapidly over the entire Composition of Egg. What part of the egg makee the chick--the white or the yellow? Neither; and yet to a certain extent both do in other words, the real life la nourished by both. As an Individ­ ual the chick is neither yolk nor al­ bumen. The germ which makes the chicken--the life and individual--is imparted by the male, and seen in the little cell located on the side of the yolk. The egg is what nourishes and grows the germ into the visible chick that hatches. Without this mrm the egg is dt no account what­ ever, only a reservoir of nourishment that'causes the growth of the germ. But one may take the ground that the egg is the chick, the male only quickening the same into life. The yolk is the last to be absorbed by the germ. Use Care In Breeding. trheir the heifer calves are to be reared for milk cows the dairyman cannot be too particular about breed­ ing the cows to dairy sires. While oc­ casionally a good animal has been produmd from a sire belonging to to the production, by reference to the tabulated statements of the United States department of agriculure, we find an average production for Illi­ nois of one peck per tree for the past six years. It is hard to understand the perversity of mankind when we consider that thiB average could easi­ ly have been multiplied several times by proper care and by the application of the ordinary rules of guidance which hare in so^ne form been brought to the notice of every fruit grower. I venture the statement that the aver­ age production of those who have given even moderate care along with spraying has been not less than one bushel per tree of high class fruit, and this but one-third what it should be. Our people are inclined to Took with disfavor on innovations. They favor traditions. They remember when fruit grew to perfection with­ out care. They regard as chance any unusual result by some progressive grower in their midst or else conclude he possesses some skill they cannot acquire. Commercial growers are making money, despite the fact that they have to combat the insects and fungous pests bred and distributed from neighboring farms. If they are succeeding the farmer surely can spare the few hours' time and the few dollars needed to supply his family and neighbors with a grade of fruit which they will take pleasure In eat­ ing, much of which he will deny them If obliged to buy In the market Too many of our growers do not grasp the true value or purpose of ex­ periments by the state. More than once this year I heard disparaging comparisons of the state experimental plots with other well kept orchards, the observer falling to grasp the fact that he should have made his compar­ ison with the best results brought out by the state, and that the poor plots had as much value in showing what to avoid as the best in indicating what to adopt. Then again there is a lack of interest shown by those In a posi­ tion to secure knowledge at first hand by personal visits to-"- these experi­ mental fields. I overheard the super lntendent of a state experiment field in vegetable and melon growing say that in the five years he operated the field not more than a dozen of the local vegetable growers, In a location where market gardening was quite extensive, had visited this field. tree. I am unable to locate any in­ sects that are causing it, except oa the lower branches, a small, white In­ sect, almost invisible, but not on af­ fected portions of the tree. Can any­ thing be done to check this?" Tour tree has undoubtedly been atp tacked by the disease known as pear blight or apple tree blight. This dis­ ease is caused by a bacterium (Bacl^ lus Amylovorous), and there is - no known remedy other than cutting out and destroying the blighted portions. The disease is very much more preva­ lent this season, and in most cases is appearing in the form known as twig blight; that is to say, the disease starts in the new shoots of the year, and extends down the branches. The disease is very erratic in Its action, and sometimes when the first attack is very severe, it suddenly stops, and does not affect the main portions of the tree. In these cases, the cutting out process is often very effective; at other times, the disease may con­ tinue to spread until the tree is kill­ ed. All of the crabs, and particularly the Siberian and Whltner, are very susceptible to attacks of this disease. We recommend the cutting out proc­ ess, because of the possibility not only of saving the trees attacked, but of preventing the spread of the disease to other trees. The disease Is con­ veyed from tree to tree mainly through the agency of Inserts. either of the beef or general purpose breeds, this is an exception. The only safe plan is to give the heifer calf the strongest possible inherited tend­ ency toward milk production, and then use all the possible means to develop this tendency by proper feeds and care. It Is by such systems that a good ordinary herd may be built up. Cull all the poor animals and keep only the best From these secure the best heifer calves. % Friendly Blow. Lads Brownlow, Washington news- paper man, paused In a drug store la Greensljoro, N. C., not so long ago, to ask for a match. While he was there a young colored chap came running ih with a big gash the whole length of his skull, and apparently a good deal put out about some accident that had befallen him. "What's happened to you?" asked Brownlow, excitedly Ijut sympathetic ally. "A friend hit me with a hatchet,' replied the bleeding stranger.
