AMONG EXPERIMENT STATION WORKERS 
Varieties of Fruit Originated in Michigan. Michigan Bulletin 
^44, 1910. 
A somewhat unique bulletin is the above from the pen of S. W. 
Fletcher, formerly horticulturist to the Michigan Agricultural 
Experiment Station. This bulletin describes all varieties of fruits 
of any worth known to have originated in Michigan, and gives the 
history of the origination of each. The author states that while 
many are of local value, only four are of general commercial value. 
These four are the Shiawassee apple, Kalamazoo and Lewis peaches, 
and Conrath raspberry. Among other important varieties are the 
King and Woodruff grapes, the Oakland and Papaw apples, and the 
Doman strawberry. Among newer varieties not fully tested are 
the Opalescent apple, Welch and Davidson peaches, and the Pringle 
plum. The bulletin is well illustrated, and the kind of attractive 
document that is likely to encourage improvement work of this kind. 
Kentucky Bulletin 47, devoted to common insecticides and 
fungicides, with directions for the treatment of farm pests, by H. 
Garman, entomologist and botanist. An exeellent bulletin of 
present day importance. 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Forest Service Circular 179. A study 
of the Eucalyptus in California, including its adaptation to that 
climate, characteristics of the wood, building value, and so forth. 
On the whole, while the actual knowledge of the possibilities of 
utilizing California-grown eucalyptus is meagre, it is sufficiently sug¬ 
gestive to invite speculative experiments. 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Bui. No. 36, Biological Survey. 
Raising Deer and Other Large Game Animals in the United States. 
This bulletin presents an illuminating discussion on the characteris¬ 
tics of the larger game animals of the United States, and gives some 
interesting experiments in the breeding of the common deer. It is a 
timely publication, drawing attention in a commonsense way to a 
question which has important practical bearing on agricultural 
operations, especially in New England, and throughout the Appala¬ 
chian region.
