k1FR'S FIRST APPLE CONGRESS
w. AS SEEN BY OLIVER HOWARD

apples at an elevation of $500 feet,
where for years he had not suffered
from frosts and his apples We're OF
the finest in flavor and keeping quail
tiles.
To head off damage by frosts
when fruit trees are in bloom the
smudge pot has been invented. AT
considerable expense the orchard
ist provides hundreds or thousands
of perforated sheet iron basins and
when there is prospect of killing
frost, coal fires are kindled in these
smudge pots and kept smudging as
long as the mercury runs low. About
one smudge Is started for each four
trees thus keeping the Frost King
in the background. A visitor to the
fruit belt of southwestern Colorado
states that the spring of the present
year was one of peculiar hardship
to the orchardists as the smudge
pots were in use for about six weeks.
AS matter of course portion
of the yearly apple crop must be put
in cold storage to meet the needs of
the community. 1t seemed to be the
general opinion that only good ap
pies should ever be put upon the
market assorted and in three grades,
extra fancy. fancy and choice. The
state Of Idaho has a law placing a
penalty OF $500 on the shipper who
sends a carload of wormy apples out
OF the state. This congress discussed
the matter OF a similar law for other
states.
There seemed to be some fear that
the railroads will not always grant
proper transportation privileges and
an instance was given where one
shipper could not obtain cars for
shipping his holding and thereby lost
$4,000. The speaker said it was
Just pure -cussedness. A multitude
of interesting facts were given by the
various speakers, dealing with loca-
tion of orchards, quality and slope
OF orchard sites, varieties suited for
the various markets and seasons and
manner OF handling, packing and
marketing Women are the best
fruit packers because they are more

should raise more Bartlett pears as
they give much better returns than
apples. His suggestion of a better

EFFICIENCY OF LABOR
IN POTATO HARVEST

The writer has been struck by the
low efficiency of labor in the potato
haryests of our newer regions as
compared with our established pota-
to districts; a difference almost as
great as between the labor cost OF
shoes made by a cobbler and by
factory, and for much the same rea-
sons,
This slowness is disadvantage
not alone In cost of production, but
in increased danger of freezing dam
age.
For economy and speed, the best
sorters must be used; and solid
sacks-Liverpool returns; the best
wire baskets, not buckets and candy
pals; the best needles and high
grade Of Italian sack twine are none
too good. Standard potato wagons
are absolutely necessary to the grow
er who would make money.
The work should be systematized'
and each man have his job. The dlg-
ger man should feed and clean MS
horses. and then have his breakfast;
while others harness the horses. SO
the digger can run at daylight.
In potatoes yielding 10000 lbs.
per acre. each picker should put on
the sorter not less than 5000 lbs.
per day. Of nine or ten hours. Where
the Weld IL larger and made up OF
big potatoes, 10000 to $1,000 lbs.
are sometimes picked by good
man. and the grower should be will
ing to see such picker In such po-
tatoes make IS day. 1t pushes the
deal along. and is worth the price,
being often cheaper than day labor
at $500 or $3.50.

TO AILING WOMEN
\ Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many Sufferer in Greeley

No woman can be healthy and

that pass off in the secretions when
the kidneys are we'll. are retained in

Kidneys and bladder become inflam-

true cause of bearing down pains,
lameness, backache, sideache, etc.
Uric poisoning also causes headaches,
dizzy spells. languor. nervousness
and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's

sick kidneys. You will get better

the United States mostly brought
from France. now we have 2200 var
ieties. The old Seeding is thing
OF the past. The area upon which
apples may be grown is almost as
wide as the temperate zone.
Orchardists do not love their fruit
trees when not in fruit, forgetting
that the fruit buds are formed in
June and July for the following
years crop. The same is true OF
the strawberry and still some people
allow their fowls to pasture their
strawberry beds all winter and then
wonder why they have no fruit the
next year. The man to grow ap-
pies is the man who loves them.
Don't be stingy of your land. spray
and smudge and handle the fruit like
eggs. A man near Topeka paid $500
for an orchard This year he sold
from that orchard, fruit to the value
OF $4,000. One dealer was mention
ed who had not done much the pres
ent season shipping only 900
barrels whereas some seasons he
shipped $4,000 barrels. MIR. Barnes
believes in raising millions OF apples
