is:
SunAower Seed is one of the in

We shall want a good many tons of

There is little doubt that we shall
be able to pay two cents per pound

in quantities of 200 pounds or more.
Indeed, if desired, we are willing
for the present to make contracts at
that price.
Sunhowers will grow in any out-of-

proportion of Baldwns is greater among

easily reproduce the song of bird. 1t
sutlces to rub the tube lengthwise with
a piece of wet cork. In order to imi-
tate the song of bird the cork must
be moved with a varying rapidity, now
slowly, now rapidly, and abrupt stop
pages must intervene. The experiment
can be made more simple by rubbing
an ordinary bottle with piece of cork.

SOME APPLE COMPARISONS
Which Show the Relative Popularity of
Different Varieties.

w
Different Varieties.
Some interesting statistics regarding
the apple business in New England are
supplied by Prof. f. A. Waugh horti
culturist of the Vermont experiment sta
ton, showing in q remarkable way the
popularity of certain varieties.
The Baldwin apple, for example, has
been prime favorite in the New Eng
land states, and especially in Massachu-
sets, but its vogue seems to be giving
way somewhat before the merits of other
varieties. The following figures show
the percentage of Baldwin trees in the
orchards reported. The first column
gives the percentage of bearing trees
which are Baldwins, and the second col
umn shows in percentages the proper
ton of Baldwins among trees too young
to bear:

In other words, Ben Davis outnum-
bers all the varieties previously named
in the recent orchard paintings of nearly
every state. In Maine and Vermont the
drift toward Ben Davis is especially
pronounced; while even in Massachu-
sets it is rapidly gaining on Baldwin.
These figures are made up from re-
ports secured from several hundred of
the leading apple growers in the states
named. While'it would be too much to
claim that they prove any particular
proposition, they certainly indicate some
important changes in the apple growing
business of New England.

No explanation is attempted of the

or the III inches of biceps. If "a pre-
