Allowing fruit to lie under the trees
and rot is not only loss but is detri-
mental to the health and thrift OF the
trees by increasing the germs of dis
ease as well as affording a better OPP
portunity for the propagation OF in
sects that injure both trees and fruit.
A good plan with the fallen fruit Is
to go over the orchard and pick up the
best, or what can be utilized, and then
turn in the hogs or sheep and let them
eat up all that is left. Then they can
be turned out again until another sup
