Hardy Fruits for Central New York 
The variety test for apples at the New 
York State School of Agriculture at Mor- 
risville was started in 1914, and last 
season, at the eud of four years, Duchess 
of Oldenburg fruited. The present season 
th<r following varieties fruited, and a care¬ 
ful examination of the trees shows not 
the least injury from extreme weather. 
Those varieties fruiting this season were 
Duchess of Oldenburg, Red Astraehan, 
Yellow Transparent, Early Harvest, Mc¬ 
Intosh and Hyslop (crab). The North¬ 
ern Spy, Baldwin and R. I. Greening are 
very healthy but have not fruited. Sev¬ 
eral varieties have been severely -winter- 
killed, including Gravenstein, Hubbards- 
ton, Tompkins King and Sutton Beauty. 
These do not seem to be hai’dy enough for 
the extreme cold. 
Throughout the higher altitudes in this 
section of New York, over 50 per cent of 
the mature apple trees have been killed, 
due to the extreme cold of the Winter of 
1918. The varieties which seem to pre¬ 
dominate and show best growth through 
the uplands are "Wealthy, Duchess and 
Pound Sweet. 
Pears will grow in the higher altitudes, 
but are not at their best. Fire blight is 
present in practically all trees, and yield 
is reduced and growth injured. Bartletts 
grow to be mature trees, but rarely pro¬ 
duce a normal yield. Quinces have been 
tried, but at present there is not a tree 
alive to show for the trouble taken. 
Sour cherries thrive and produce max¬ 
imum crops, Early Richmond, Mont¬ 
morency and English Morello each yield¬ 
ing heavily in its own season. Sweet 
cherries winter-killed badly, not a tree 
being alive at the present time in the 
State School orchards. 
Plums notice the cold and are affected 
badly by black knot. -The trees all seem 
to have less power to resist, disease 
through reduced vitality. Some fruit is 
produced, but hardly enough to pay for 
the planting. Peaches have all winter- 
killed in this section and we cannot rec¬ 
ommend a variety that will survive th» 
Winters. 
Certain varieties of the bush fruits are 
doing exceptionally well. With the red 
raspberries the Cutliberts are doing finely, 
and with the blackberries the Snyder has 
surpassed all expectations. The past" sea¬ 
son we picked on an average of over 3.000 
quarts per acre from our bushes of the 
latter. 
The grapes are tender, yet by laying 
down the canes in the Fall and weighting 
them down with brush so that the snow 
will cover them, they are protected, and 
at our trial grounds are growing as well 
as could be expected. The red variety 
Delaware, the blue variety Moore’s Early, 
and the green (white) variety Niagara 
fruited this season and could be recom¬ 
mended for any location provided the 
proper protection is given. 
To sum up, we recommend: Apples— 
Duchess, McIntosh, Red Astraehan, Yel¬ 
low Transparent, Early Harvest, Hyslop 
(crab), Northern Spy, Greening, Bald¬ 
win, Pound Sweet, Wealthy. Pears— 
Bartlett. Cherries—The sour varieties, 
Early Richmond, Montmorency, English 
Morello. Sweet cherries, peaches, plums, 
quinces, none. Red raspberry, Cuthbert, 
Blackberry, Snyder. Grapes, when pro¬ 
tected, Delaware, Moore’s Early, Niagara.

Number of Com Rows 
I have an ear of corn which has 18 
rows of kernels for three inches at the 
butt of the ear, and then 10 rows for two 
inches in center, then 10 rows for three 
inches at the top of ear, all without any 
skips : 520 kernels ou the ear. w. I. 
Caledonia, N. Y. 
The fact that ears of corn always have 
an even number of rows of grain, al¬ 
though the number may decrease from the 
butt to the tip, is due to the plan of 
structure, whereby the ear is built up of 
pairs of rows. Tapering ears usually 
have fewer rows at the smaller end. The 
missing rows may he dropped out at any 
place along the ear, but always two at 
a time. Curiously, the rows that are 
paired are on opposite sides of the ear. 
The prototype of cultivated corn is con¬ 
sidered to have had one pair of these 
units of structure. As the size of the 
ear increased additional members were 
put on. like the spokes iu a wheel, two 
being added at a time to opposite Rides.
