SPRAYING SAVES MILLIONS
YIELD OF APPLE AND PEACH
ORCHARDS INCREASED BY IT.
Great Work sf Missouri College Of
Agriculture is Greatly
Appreciated.

The Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture has recently demonstrated by a
number OF experiments the remark
ably large BENEFITS Of spraying apple
and peach orchards. w. H. Chandler
Of the Horticultural Department Of the
College recently had an experience
in a sprayed apple orchard in Buehan'
an county, where the total number OF
barrels Of number n apples was 76
per cent Of the entire number grown,
while in an unspraysd orchard adjoiD-
ing it there were only 10 per cent Of
number ones. The number q APP
Piles were worth from t2.25 to $3.50
per barrel; the others only 80 to 30
cents per barrel.
In an orchard in the central part Of
Missouri containing 300 trees, the
Agricultural College last year sprayed
100 trees, and the wne later stated
that he picked more good apples of
those one hundred trees than he did
on the remaining 1000.
In q l40-acre commercial orchard
the College last year sprayed one
acre of Jonathan apples. This sprayed
acre produced more marketable APP
Piles than the remaining 1870 acres,
which we're not sprayed,
In an interview, Prof. Chandler
says: You would be safe in estimat-
ing the net profits on a sprayed or
hard at 1926. as against S25 to $50
on an unsprayed orchard. In fact, ]
10 not think you would be exagger,
ating it il you put the total average
income on an orchard as gain for
spraying. for under average Missouri
,onditions, | seriously doubt If an un
prayed orchard can be made to pay
expenses. except in sections wher6
they have been in the fruit business
only a short time"
In Missouri there are approximately
100000 acres in apples. A gain o.
SIS per acre in annual production
means an increased income to apple
growers OF sSO,O 900. 900 per year.

George B. Ellis. editor Of the Mis-

lege worth more 70 the farmer Of Mis-
souri, than the expense OF the entire
University. An increased yield Of On
ly one bushel Of Oorn would. add. At
current prices. something like three
and one-half million dollars to the far
mers' profits every year. The expert
ments made by the Agricultural Col
legs show an average increase Of
about nine bushels OF corn where the
improved seed bred up by the Col
lege has been used. The work Of the
Agricultural College is developing 4
better variety OF wheat for this stats,
and as soon as It reaches far enough
to distribute the seed generally, It
should resul; in increased yields Of
from five to ten bushels per acre.
which would mean anywhere from
ten to twenty million bushels Of wheat
annually. or. ten to twenty million dol.

Another Wonderful Discovery.

Electricity, telephones, airships
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed inn
possible a few years ago. But
it seems there is nothing so inn
possible but what some scientist
win discover the means of ac-
eomplishment. Prof. Emerson
has now discovered a preparation
which will really grow hair.
Iowa people are amazed and as
founded by Emerson's new dis
covSry for the hair. Emerson
said that one bottle of his new
discovery would grow a full
head of hair to its natural color.
The people did not believe him.
1t was too much to expect and
too good to be true. They had
tried all the highly advertised
hair restorerS and had always
been disappointed and they could
not believe one bottle would
really grow a full head of hair.
But now comes the most start
ling part of all-for Emerson
proved it-yes, absolutely proved
it. What do you think he dds
He made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle of his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people were astounded by The
unheard of offer, but they knew
that Emerson was financially re
sponsible and would do as hi
agreed if it cost him his fortune
Thousands bought bottles of hi
new discovery, though most o
them had little faith and expect
ed to be paid five dollars for us
ing the bottle of new discovery
Out of the first thousand bottle
sold only seven claimed they wer
not entirely satisfied, and the.
Immediately received the fiv
dollars without question. TIL
rest of them we're overjoyed t
find that Emerson's new Discoy
cry had really promoted a ne1
and healthy growth of hair. Wha
is this remarkable new discovery
Emerson won't tell, and chemist
/, have tried to analyze it and hav
failed to find out what it is. En-
erson asks us to publish this sam
offer to the readers Of this pape.
He states that with every bottI
, of his new discovery, the price 9
t which is 81, he will send
written agreement to pay yo
, five dollars if you are not Ell
t tirely satisfied with the resu.
] which is invariably a new hea
of healthy, vigorous hair. tn
new discovery is not sticky, oil
or greasy and is very pleasant |
use. This is the most remarkab
offer ever made by a responsib.
firm, such as the Emerso
Chemical Co., which is backin
Emerson in his offer. Just sen

sary) to the Emerson Chemic.

Salesmanship.

A salesman In furnishing store dis
played to friendly customer gen.
tleman's plain linen handkerchief at
IS. The man had always thought he
was doing we'll to pay so cents and
questioned the salesman about it.
"How can a man figure it that he
gets his moneys worth when he pays
IS for a handkerchief? 1t doesn't
serve the purpose any better, and ne
couldn't afford to tell any one that he
was big enough fool to pay that price"
HE gets his moneys WORTH" said
the salesman, from the added force
of self respect that comes with his
own personal assurance that he has
the best that can be produced. That
conviction helps him in urging his
point and in swinging the big deal his
way, and the S. is a mere item OF H.
cidental expense"
Ever afterward that customer gladly
paid more not only for handkerchiefs.
but for every item Of his wardrobe.
That is saiesmanship.-Colliers.
