The same principle should apply to fruit| trees which cavily loaded with | small fruit ach individual is | trying spite of the| | crowded conditic at hary of small, the result that t time there is an abundance misshapen, wormy and un- marketable fruit. From the stand- point of the tree, whose Sole purpose is 1o produce an abundance of seed, this is ali t wn be desired but from the growers s, this is exactly the cpposite condition, he wants farge, handsome and marketable fruit. It is sh of the fruit which the public s and not the seed, thus a large having the same weight as two smaller apples may be worth ten cents while the smaller ones are of no value except for cider. A grower may prune, spray, fertilize and have his orchard in first class condition but if he nexlects to thin his fruit the resulting crop may not sell for enough to pay the work put upon the orchard. It is hardly neces- sary to cite instances of the value of thinning to the grower who depends upon his orchard for a livelihood for he has found by experience that it pays to thin, but for those who have never practiced thinning a few of the reasons are given. Thinning allows each fruit to devel- op and color to its fullest capaclty. It prevents overloading and breaking of the branches. It lowers the cost of harvesting, grading and packing. Thinned fruit sells for a higher price. By preventing overbearing and thus weakening of the tree it tends to an- nual bearing. Thinned trees will pro- duce as many of fruit ae the unthinned 2nd it will be of higher quality. The insect marked or mis- shapen frults are removed. By thin- ning peaches.and plums the-spread of Brown Rot is checked. Many people think of the cost of thinning and fail to see the results of the work but let us see how it works out. One movement or action . station and ehipping = aws From actual counts one tree which had 1,450 apples thinned off producsd 4,- 0 at harvest which were valued ac $9.80, another tree as near like it as it was possible to estimate was un- thinned and 5.605 fruits were harvest ed with a value of $7.02, a differenc of $2.18, the cost of thinning was 35 cents. In the case of the thinned tree, the frult was larger and most of it went as fancy while from the un- thinned tree over half of it had to 20 into the lower grade because of size, color and blemishes. | The actual thinning is done by use| of the fingers or by special shears. Some varieties of apples are easily | thinned by breaking the stem of the fruit while other varleties cannot be thinned without injury to the fruit spur, except by use of the shears. Only one frult should be allowed to each fruit spur and if the frult spurs are close together entire clusters may be removed allowing the remaining fruits to be at least six inches apart. A common rule.to follow is to thin 50 that the mature fruit will not touch. Thus small varieties do not require as much space as larger ones. Six to eight inches is a common distance for. apples and peaches, plums a. little less. The strength of the tree will not be wasted if this work is done soon after the “June Drop” or natural thinning has taken place—8. P.

PROLONGING THE USEFULNESS OF FARM MACHINERY, You can prolong the actual useful- ness of your farm machines many years by giving them proper care as follows: First: Keeping them housed when- ever they are mot in use. A neglect in this hastens their depletion almost 50 per cent, according to the state- ment made by a farm machinery man- ufacturer. He says: “If the farmer cared for his machinery‘as he should, there would be need for us to manu- facture but one machine where we are now putting out two.” Second: Keeping them well oiled while tn use, and chaina well lubricat- ed and gears running freely, vet not #0 for apart that the strain could in- dQuce a break. The easier all parts of &_machine work, the'longer that ma- chine will endure. Third: Looking over ail machines carefully before using, repairing where necessary, replacing missing ‘bolts, and by all means keeping burrs tightened. A few loose bolts will scon knock a : Using good sickies and ' keeping _mower mives at aill times, ~ When. mower knives to chug the machine, and grassibegins to teeter on the butterbar, it is high time to take the knives out and resharpen ‘them.

The implement dealer often observes the condition of farm machinery soon- er than does the farmer himself, for, what is the farmer's loss is the deal- ers gain; and he needs but hear an impaired rattle in the farmer's ma- chine and he is at his heels wanting to trade a new mashine for the old. Let's have the joke on the dealer by taking god care of machinery! EGG LAYING CONTEST Thirty-eighth Week Ends With Yield of 3620 Eggs. a Storrs, Conn,, July 25, 1916—The hens at Storrs yielded a total of 3620 eggs 1n the thirty-elghth week of the cont The Agricultural Col- lege pen of “Oregons” from Corvallls, Oregon, were an easy first with a pro- duction of 61 eggs. Francis F. Lin- coln’s pen of White Leghorns from Mt. Carmel, Conn., were second with 56 eggs and Georze Phillip's pen of the same breed from Seymour, Conn., won third place with a yield of 55 eggs. Mendelay Poultry Yards' pen of Barred Rocks from Sprinzfield, Ohio; Abel Latham’s pen of White Leghorns from Brierfield, England, and W. E. Atkinson's pen of Leghorns from Wallingford, Conn., all tied for fourth place with 52 eggs each. There were a total of thirty-four hens, including Barred, White, and Columbia Rock: White Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorns, Mottled Anconas, and “Oregons” that made perfect individ- ual scores for the weck. During the p: o ars the Storrs Experimental tation has carried on in Connecticut a_campalgn against bacillary white diarrhea of young chicks, a disease that is transmitted to the litile chick throush of the mother. The Experiment ion has not, of course, undertalken to do this work outside of the state, but the colleze arranged to have the test made without charge on all birds sent to the ng competition. T test which is known as the ags n method of determining ova tnfection, involves drawing from the wing vein a sample of blood, but such a small amount that the fowls are not infured nor is their egg yield retarded or otherwise adversely affected.

The only product I canned to sell was tomatoes. I had about four hun- dred plants which cost us only about 20 cents. The plants bore very well, but the season was a very wet one and I think they did not bear as heavily as the would have done otherwise. I canned this product in No. 3 tin cans. For en outfit we used an ordinary wash boiler. My father made a wire bas- ket which just fits inside the boiler and we used this both in scalding and in cooking them afterward. It holds twenty cans at once. Of course, I did not do all the can- ning alone, for my school began in the height of the canning season. My father and mother both gave their ser- vices, and, in fact, the whole family i3 now interested in canning. We put up six hundred cans which were sold at 11 cents a can. I also sold thirty baskets of fresh tomatoes at thirty cents. Now just & word about the market- ing of the canned tomatoes. I have never had:any trouble elong this line.

BORERS IN SHADE TREES. It is not always possible to reach borers by means of a wire, and it is more or less injurious to the tree to attempt to cut them out with a knife. The best method of killing the pests is to put into a spring-bottom oil can the liquid known as carbon bisulphide. Insert the tip of the can into the hole and inject the liquld; close the hole with clay, putty or grafting wax, and you may be sure that the fumes from the carbon bisulphide will penetrate to the pest and destroy it without injuring the tree. One precaution is important, and that is to keep fire away from this chemical, as the tumes are inflammable and explosive, the same as those of benzine or gasoline The borers aro injgrious o the trees because they make holes in which de- cay germs can enter. It is best to have all holes, whether large or small, filled <completely. It is also advisable to in- ject carbon bisulphide into the holes just as soon as they can be found. Thejr presence is generally manifest by the sawdust-like borings to be seen at: the*base*offtho tree. ALLIES REPORT ANOTHER GOOD DAY’S RECORD ortant Positions in Armenia. With Capture of Imp: in France and London, July 10.40 p. m.—The al- s are able to congratulate them- selves on another good day’s record with the capture of the important po- sitions of Pozieres on the western nt ¥ n C rzingan in_Armenia, while neral Sakharoff, in the Slonevka river cap- 4,000 priseners and five on ahother British_secretary for war, Da- id Llovd George, in a published statement izht, shows the import- ance the Germans attached to the re- tention of Pozieres by quoting from a German divisional order issued in Contalmaison on July 11 as follow Furthermore, the conversion of lages ng points of the greatest importance. Such villages are Pozieres, Contalmaison, the two Bizantins and Longueval.” Secretary Lloyd George points out that with the capture of Pozieres the last of these villages has fallen into hands of the allies. He further points out that today’s German claim of the repulse of an attack on Trones ‘Wood must be clerical _error, as Trones Wood has been in British pos- session since July 14. The opinion of the military critics in London is that no positions so strong as the British are now successfully at- tackinz will by nd between Pozieres ana Bapaume er , they areue, the Germans would not have risked bringing troops and guns from the Verdun sector to defend Pozieres, and it_is inferred from indications in the official despatches that the British are already beginning to establish them- selves on hoth sides of the road from Pozieres to Bapaume, SAYS THERE IS NO MONEY IN THE STEAMBOAT BUSINESS Charles C, Goodrich Testifies at Hear- ing on New Haven Road Application New York, July 26.—Charles C. Goodrich, president of the New York and Hartford Transportation company, testifying here today at a hearing on the application of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com- pany to retain control of its Long Isl- and Sound steamers under the Pana- ma Canal act, declared that instead of being beneficial, the new law is “yery bad as regards those who use the waterway of Long Island Sound.” Describing the negotiations that led to the sale of the majority stock of the company to the New Haven road in 1906, Mr. Goodrich said: “I had been looking for shelter for a long time and when an umbrella was offered I lost no time raising it and getting out of the shower.”. The steamers, he added, could not compete with a carrier which worked twelve months a vear, whereas the water line was in commission only eisht months a vear. There is no money in the steamboat business, Mr. Goodrich asserted, no mew steamers have been added to the Sound line and in case of a wreck there is no boat that could carry on the business.

Allow Food to Pass Under Super- on of a Neutral Commission. wi vi London, July 28, 5.25 p. m.—Great Britain ill consent to the admission of food in the areas occupied by the armies of the central powers under the supervision of a neutral commis- sion appointed by President Wilson. This will cause surprise in relief cir- cles, which have been working hard to procure some form of relief for Poland, as the belief had become gen- eral that the negotiations between the entente powers and _Germany had reached an impasse which offered no Ropes of agreement. The full details of the British offer will be sent to Walter Hines Page, the American ambassador, in the form of a letter for transmission to President Wilson. Therefore they cannot be dis- closed until the letter has been re- ceived in Washington. But the gen- eral nature of the plan as outlined at the Britieh foreign office will give the American commission a chance to work with the support and approval of the entente powers in provisioning the occupied areas, provided the Austros Germans take no more native food supplies from these districts. On account of its cordial relations and semi-official standing in the va- rious belligerent countries, it is_con- sidered here that President Wilson likely will request the Hoover commis- sion to undertake the work if the proffered plan meets with favor in| Germany. ~This commission _already ! has fully investigated the needs of the civilian population in the areas af- fected and stands ready to use its ex- istinz machinery for additional work. Since it is virtually impossible to procure shipping to bring food from America before the harvest becomes available, it is likely tha: thé com- mission will borrow the existing sup- plies of food from neutral European countries with the understanding to replace them with overseas supplies. Shipping will present the greatest problem in such a vast relief work, as the commission now is only able W procure tonnage to supply seventy per cent. of the demand in Belgium and France. The commission, however, probably will endeavor to revive the plan to procure interned German ship- ping for the work. Belgium is not affected by the British - offer and the relief work there will continue under the existing plan. WARSHIPS ON NEUTRALITY | DUTY OFF CAPE HENRY Armored Cruiser North Carolina and Three Destroyers. Washington, July 2.—Aroused by an, ! official report from the commander of \ the battleship Louisiana that a mys- terious ship, purporting to be a British cruiser, had passed into the mouth of Chesapeake Bay early yesterda: morning, the navy department today ordered the armored cruiser North Carolina and three destroyers to neu- trality duty off Cape Henry. Officials ‘maintained unusual secrecy regarding the matter and would not disclose just what instructions were sent to the commander of the North Carolina. It was assumed, lLowever, that he had been directed to see that the German rherchant submarine Deutschland, now preparing for her re- turn trip to Germany, i$ not attacked by allied war vessels within the threa mile limit and that American ueutrali- ity is not .otherwise violated.
