Men Who Throw Away Half Their Crop Now Will Get Better Quali- ty and More Fruit in Fall. All fruit growers and others who bave fruit trees, especially apple trees, should seriously consider the dvs.imhili(}l of thigning their fruit. This means that where one has a good set of one-h or two-thirds of apples on the trees should be picked off and thrown awsy. One hears the re- lv}nrk. “Tt takes nerve to take time right at the buslest time of the year and thrown away one-half of the pros- pects for a crop,” or “That man must surely have gone foolish to have such a crazy idea as to go in his trees and throw away one-half of his apples be- fore they are large enough for the pigs.” These are typical or remarks and general feeling on the matter in a community where systematic care- ful thinning of fruit is bing tried for the first time. The men who laugh iast laugh best, and the men who were seen thinning their fruit can be seen during the harvest seasons with happy, satis- fied faces and making remarks such as “I will no sooner think of at- tempting to raise a crop of good ap- ples in the future without thinning the little apples during early July t I would to discard spraying” or apples from the thinned trees three times as large as those the unthinned and sold for four as much.” i time of the year 1ould be done. certain that sted that twi me variety which are hearing v the ame amount of ap- be chosen and that one- trees be properly thinned trees left unthinned.

The apple allowed to remain should be of zood shape, typical of the va- riety and one which is vigorous and promises to make a fine apple. The apples to be removed should be given n upward and bz clkward tw t while e other hand holds the fruit spur. Small shears can be obtained espe- cially designed for this work. Some people can thin faster by using shears and alw s do away with the possi- bility of weakening the stem of the remaining apple. WATCH FCR APPLE SCAB.

It is always well to add arsenate of lead at usual strensth (three pounds to 50 llons of water) to any spray applica.- sure and have a fine mist. A Vermont Farmer Gives His View of Its Benefit. J. B. Candon of Vermont states that after six years of experience in cow testing association work, the results can hardly be overestimated. Fol- lowing is what Mr. Candon has to say: “The value of membership in a cow testing association can hardly be overestimated provided the member will get the most possible out of it; that is, familiarize himself with the records. He will then be able to feed more intelligently, according to the needs of each individual cow, also which cows are most desirable to raise stock from. Our test assoclation here is on its sixth year's work and none of the members who take trouble to study the records would try to get along without the association records.” In another cow testing association, one member had 13 cows, and dis- posed of five before the end of the vyear, finding .that they were such roor producers that it would be im- possible for them to make any profit for a considerable time in the future. Some men have tried to compare their own judgment at the beginning of the year with what the records would show at the end, the owner picking out the ones which he con- sidered the best and the poorest in the herd. At the end of the year it was found that the profits from these two cows over-and.above-the.cost of or more trees | Be thorough—use lots of pres- | The Ne ARE EASY they are easy to make. ment. will prove pleasant pick-up help you tp the utmost. ment.

This shows that unless pretty accurate records are kept a man has nothing sound to_base his judgment on. Why then should one continue to manufacture products without a knowledge of their cost - and profits? Many men plan to start keeping rec- ords of their herds, but a large percent of these, due to a large amount of work, will not complete the records or may not even keep them. If the cost of $1.50 a cow per year will not only give a man accurate knowledge of these conditions, but also create much greater interest in dairying and in the long run bring about greater profits, it is money well invested. What do you know about your cows? GROW BUCKWHEAT. It Puts Soil in Fine Mellow Condition and Destroys Weeds. t present grown in t wholly in the ippi river and 1t. About seven- Buckwheat is this country al states east of the Mi north of the cotton b tenths of the crop is sown in the two states, New York and Pennsylv 3ut in the more northern states bu wheat can be sown .over practically the entire arca without reference to elevation. Father south it is confined to the uplands and mountainous sec- tions. - Buckwheat should be sown on land prepared as for corn. It is an excel- lent crop to sow where corn has been planted but where a stand has not been secured. Best results are ob- tained where the land is plowed early and is well prepared, but fairly good results can be obtained by sowing im- mediately after plowing and harrow- ed at the rate of 3 to 4 pecks per acre. If the soil is fertile and a drill is used and the seed is of good vitality, as little as 2 pecks may be sufficient. As much as 53 pecks are sometimes sown. It is best to use a grain drill, but this is not essential, as the seed can be broadcasted and harrowed in with satisfactory results. It should be sown from cne-fifth of an inch to 2 inches deep, depending on the condi- tion of the coil. There is probably no other crop that will produce better on infertile, poor- ly tilled lands than will buckwheat. Tt is well suited to light well-drained soils, such as sandy loams, and to the ilt loam soils. Tt needs but little lime, growing well in acid soils with- out lime, where alfalfa and red clover would not succeed. When the soil is poor, it is profitable to use fertilizer, but where good wheat or corn crops can be produced without fertilizer, 1t is unnecessary for the buckwheat crop. On the poorest hill land a small appli- cation of nitrogen and phosporus is advisable, but generally nitrogen is not needed. The plant responds very readily to applications of phosphorus, however. Low-grade fertilizers con- taining phosphorus and a small amount of potassium can be used to advantage. EXTENSION SERVICE. Connecticut Agricultural College Will Assist School Men of the State. By their recent action in establish- ing a department of agricultural education’ the trustees of the Connecti- cut Agricultural College have met a need long felt both at the college and in the state. Mr. Eaton brings to bear upon our rural grade and secondary.shool prob- lems a long and valuable experience in teaching and managing schools as well as the results of two years study of these problems at Columbia Uni- versity. ‘School superintendents, principals or committees wishing to consult with Mr. Baton should address the exten- sion service, Connecticut Agricultural College, Storrs, Conn. DEPARTMENT OF HOME ECONO- MICS. ‘The extension service of the Connec- ticut Agricultural College has added to its staff a worker in home econo- mis. Miss Maud E. Hayes, who has been for several years the head of the home economics depratment of the college, will, beginning July 1st, de- vote one-half her time to extension work with farm women. Last winter Miss Hayes conducted six extension schools of four days each with the country women and this work ‘was remarkable well"received and en- lhuallyfically supported in all sections As Miss Hayes of stgte. is well this responsible position the extension work in home economics should ren- der equally as great service as other lines of extension work devoted to solving farm problems. TOLLAND COUNTY ORGANIZES A FARM BUREAU. At a meeting held in Rockville on ‘Wednesday, June 21, it was the unan- imous vote of the eighty-elght per- sons present to organize a farm bu- reau for Tolland county. A constitu- tion and by-laws were adopted and officers were elected. Eleven out of thirteen towns had delegates at this meeting, and the various agricultural societies in the county, including the nge, as well as the business inter- ests of the county were represente: Although Tolland is the last county in the state to organize a farm bureau, the enthusiastic interest in favor of the ork shown at its organization meet- ing promises a strong farm bureau for Tolland County. Every county in Connecticut now has a farm bureau, and as soon as Tolland county selects its agent, there wil be a county agent in each county Wallingford—The telegraph busi- ness of the Western Union Telegraph company in Wallingford has grown to such proportions that an office will be opened as soon as suitable quarters can be secured.
