I will close by recommending this matter to the thoughtful consideration
of the young readers of THE PRAIRIE FARMER, who, as a class, I believe
to be as capable and intelligent as the country affords, and with the
remark that I know of no business in life to which I would sooner urge
any young friend of my own to devote his talents and his energies.

POSSIBILITIES IN IOWA CHERRY GROWING.
Prof. Budd, of Iowa, sends THE PRAIRIE FARMER the following copy of his
address before the Eastern Iowa Horticultural Society, remarking that
its appearance in this paper may lead the Bloomington nurserymen to look
up this very important line of propagation:
The topic assigned me is, as usual, experimental horticulture. I select
the division of the work implied in the heading for the reason that it
is, as yet, mainly an unoccupied field of inquiry. If the idea occurs
that my treatment of the question is speculative rather than practical
permit me to suggest that thought and investigation must always precede
the work of adapting fruits to a newly occupied country, especially if
that country is as peculiar in climate and soil as the great Northwest.
