and other conditions. We would 
want to eliminate as much as pos- 
sible all local conditions which 
would tend to make one tree hard- 
ier than another and feel sure that 
hardiness is one of the vital char- 
acters of the tree which we hope 
to .find. 
If you are able to locate any- 
thing - that will answer our pur- 
pose we shall certainly appreciate 
it and will thank you in advance 
for any assistance you give along 
this line. C. P. Close,

Eau Claire War Garden Report. 
We have, aside from our Regu- 
lar Home and Market Gardens, 
218 acres divided as follows : 130 
acres listed as school gardens. 
There are 888 individual gardens 
in this class. 88 acres in the Nor- 
mal Grounds, Boyd, Wagner & 
Dells Paper & Pulp tracts, divided 
into 669 individual gardens, this 
making a total of 218 acres, 1,557 
gardens. 
Each of the ward schools will 
hold a vegetable show the second 
week in September. General or 
adult class will show at High 
School Auditorium the third week 
of September. 
Conditions of gardens are first 
class and it would hardly be poss- 
ible to have them as a Avhole more 
productive.

An abundant harvest — a thank- 
ful heart — and safe reserves. 
Every sign proves that home- 
canners have reached the goal, 
1 ,500,000,000 quarts. This, by the 
way, insures the home pantry, for 
the Government needs most of the 
commercial pack for the Army. 
More About Minnesota No. 4 
Raspberry. 
This variety began hearing the 
first of July and continued until 
the last week in August. Its 
fruiting habits are much like its 
Columbian ancestor. 
Our planting last year was late 
and was subject to extremely wet 
weather early and extremely dry 
weather later in season. The 
cane growth was small, so that 
very large berries were not ex- 
pected. The largest were only an 
inch in diameter, and the diam- 
eter of four together was an 
eighth less than four inches. Next 
year we expect berries big enough 
to talk about. The record of the 
Minnesota justified the expecta- 
tion of plenty of berries for every- 
body when it is in general culti- 
vation.
