question, state lust what experience

fact, that the farm was not really a

A fruit grower gives the advice to
never mix red and green apples to-
gether. as II gives the impression that
the lot Is badly mixed and OF no grade.
The japanese plums are beginning
to appear In some quantities In the
Chicago market. where they have
brought good prices this year Where
they can DO grown they are destined
TO play an important role. as their
nRvor and color are In their favor.
The fact that they bear abun lantly In
favorable locations will doubtless en-
courage their further planting.
An advocate OF summer pruning ex-
presses the opinion that pruning may
be done In summer that cannot well
be done at any other time OF year
namely cutting away the inside
branches where the tree Ia too dense

It's parta. The reason IL that when the
leaves are on the branches tho degree
Of denaeness OF the tree may DO un-
derstood much better than when the
leaves have fallen.
The man that would today be a sue
cessiul fruit grower must have In him
self the ability TO adopt new methods
and new ideas. Not that he should al
ways adopt new methods and new
IDEAS. but he must be able to change
II the new things can demonstrate
their value. Some men are so fixed
N the old ways that they viii not even
consider new ones. Such men are
badly handicapped when they try TO
make living out Of fruit raising I'M
der modern conditions.
II is evident that II pays the seller
to grade fruit. especially tree fruits.
The men that are making the most
money out OF apples and like erops
have learned this, and act accordingly.
Their fruit goes TO the highest priced
markets. In which are never found the
lots that are ungrnded and OF a mis-
cellanoous nature. The cuus should
be kept At home, given away or fed 10
pigs aud other animals II they arc
mixed with nrst-class fruit and sold

they reduce the price OF the good fruit
to such a point that the value OF the
additional quantity is lost
