An Airship Dinner.

made in aviation, so with this in mind
hostess used a lovely miniature air
ship gotten at the toy department,
over her table at dinner given for
eight guests. The favors were diminu-

painted with balloons and airships
floating over the surface of the card.
Each guest was asked to express his
or her opinion upon the success OF
aeroplanes: as several of the guests
had had actual experience this was

Apple growers In southwestern
Iowa are to be shown how to pack
their apples for market to get the

conduct three apple packing schools
at Hamburg. Council Bluffs and Mis-
souri, Valley, with an additional school
at Glenwood II that can be arranged.
They will be held between the dates
of August IA and August 26, the first
session of three days at Hamburg.
the second at Council Bluffs. and
the third and fourth at Missouri Val

be open to all apple growers and a
fifth may be established at the state

These schools will put dollars into
the pocket of every apple grower who
attends" said Mr.. Greene. Iowa or

SOIL CULTIVATION
in ORCHARDS
Beneficial Effects Strikingiy Shown Il
Iowa Experiment Station

The value of thorough cultivation of
the soil in orchards is strikingly IL.
Illustrated In the experiment plots of
the Iowa state college at Ames. The
ground under the trees In one plot is
covered with heavy sod-the condi-
| ton of most orchards in Iowa. The
ground In the second plot was seeded
to oats In the spring and is now in
stubble; the ground of the third plot
was carefully cultivated throughout
the spring and summer and has a
mulched surface two or three inches
deep.
The trees In the sod plot have a
sickly looking foliage, more yellow
than green. and the fruit on them is
small in size and rather poor in quail
ity. They show the lack OF moisture.
The trees in the stubble plot look
considerably better the leaves have
fair color and the fruit Is In fair con-
dition. Evidently these trees had
more moisture during the drought
than the sod plot trees.
The trees In the cultivated plot pre-
sent striking contrast to both of
the other plots. They are covered
with rich green foliage and the fruit
on them promises to grow to good
size and develop excellent quality.
They seem to have had enough mois-
ture in spite of the long dry season.
Yet these three plots, showing the
severe effects of drought, the medium
effects, and none at all. stand In the
same corner Of the state college farm.
Neither had any more rain than the
other and each had as much as the
| other.
The care of the soil made the diff
ference. In the sod plot, the moisture
In the ground was lost In large meas
ure; IN the plot on which was grown
the cover crop of oats, considerable
/ proportion of the moisture was con-
served In the well-cultivated plot
practically every bit Of the moisture
was conserved In the sod plot, dig
ging revealed the ground to be dry
for many inches down. In the we'll
cultivated plot, all that was necessary
to find moisture was to scrapn away
two or three inches OF mulch. Under
the top covering Of dust the ground
was damp. The trees that grew in
that plot stood the drought excellent.

IAN orchard will repay careful cul,

about half the price of metallic fla
