plenty OF Fruit.

Keyser, w. Va, July IA wei
known horticultural of this country
Lwho has been we'll over the State in
Fine past two months, spent today in
Mineral county looking over the orch
ards. The gentleman is Prof. Fred E.
brooks, a government entomologist
and horticulturalist, now working in
/ the Appalachian fruit belt.
He says the fruit crop in general is
in fine condition, except for damage
in small sections by hail. OF apples
there will be an average crop, and this
crop is well distributed over all the
fruit growing territory.
Peaches will be about a half crop
but this will mean a good deal Of fruit
as millions of young trees will come
into bearing this year. The drought
last year cut short the fruit growth
Gil old peach trees and heavy croT
weakened them. On some orchards
this season a good crop is found when
in the same locality, the June drop

thing is particularly evident, where
orchards have had intense cultivation
and plenty of fertilization, the trees
and the crop both give pronounced
evidence thereof.
The plum crop is good, also grapes
but neither is grown to any great ex
tent in a commercial way. The peal
crop is a failure, but pears are alss
OF no special Importance, being grow
only in a small way
Raspberries, the season for which Is
closing, made big crop, and the price
realized was good, from $3.50 to $3.5(
per crate of one bushel Blackherries
are now coming on the market ant
the quality is of the highest, and the
price is ranging with raspberries, ant
the demand beyond the production.
HoTticulturists are almost unani
nous in encouraging people OF small
means to plant largely of berries.
High prices are assured for bott
peaches and apples.

FARMERS THRIFTY
AND WIDE AWAKE
are Keeping Abreast With the Latest
invitations--Motor Trucks Dis
placing The Horse.

Alertness of farmers In apopting
improved machinery or new ways of
saving time and labor is faculty
promising much for the future of the
motor truck in agriculture work.
1t is not surprising to see the far
mer, like the business man In the city.
abandoning horses 70 use motor
trucks. 1t is reliable sign, because
the man on the farm is conservative
he has always given the time needed
to investigate thoroughly and to ar.
rive at sound decision before taking
UP something.
Now that the motor truck has re-
ctsved a favorable verdict from the
farmer. 1t is we'll to seek the reason.
Performance is the measure OF a
motor trucks efficiency The farmer,
like any other business man, takes it
up when he sees its advantages over
the horse. At the same time II must
be admitted that builders of motor
trucks have not sought to convince
the farmer as much as 1t might seem
they should, due to the fact that they
have had all they could do to supply
the business men Of the cities. But
the farmer today is making his needs
felt. and the manufacturers OF trucks
real re that the horse must be routed
from his last stronghold, the farm.
II matters not what kind CT a pro-
lrN {a an ha 1AI
is any considerable amount--and most
farmers DO a heavy hauling business
the motor truck offers the remedy for
the present slow blowing OF the
horse.
While the farmers realizes this adj
vantage, he is more than interested
in knowing the specific cases where
the horse has been outclassed by the
motor truck For instance, there Is
an example of a cremery company
that has used thirteen horseshoe
four-horse team, three two-horse
teams and three reserve horses, This
company selected four-ton Sampson
truck. and found that the motor truck
did all the hauling that was formerly
required of the stable OF horses. The
truck now makes four trips OF forty
miles each day over country roads. It
hauls thirty tons of goods, fifteen tons
being milk. When not delivering
milk from the depot 1t carries grain.
1t is easy to see the great amount
OF time and money that this truck
makes for its owners. II requires
scarcely any attention something that
cannot be said Of stable OF thirteen
horses. II works just as fast at the
end of the day as at the beg inning
Above all, its life is from eight to ten
years, while the average life OF horses
according to government figures, is
five years.
Another striking comparison 70 that
of a motor truck that hauled 1920
pounds OF alfalfa, covering twenty-one
miles while team of four horses de-
livered 7,700 pounds distance of ten
miles. The horse vehicle and the
motor vehicle started practically at
the same time. bound to different des-
t'nation. The truck delivered one
load OF $40 pounds eleven miles dis
tant and returned for second load of
$500 pounds. Just as II arrived at
the second destination ten miles away
the horse vehicle was unloading.

pEPLoRARLE WHEAT CROP.
About e5 per Cert of the Average in
Pennsylvania.

The condition Of Pennsylvania
wheat is most deplorable, according to
AleArnon S. Martin, deputy secretary
Of agriculture, who has just returned
from making tour Of the State.
1.-The entire wheat crop" said Mr.
Martin, will be about 65 per cent
of an average crop, which is a bad
condition of affairs"
The Hessian fly and the cold. wet
spring are the two causes that con
tributed most to the failure of the
wheat crop, according to Martin.
"The portions of the State most af.
fected by the Hessian fly" he stated
"are the Cumberland, Lebanon and
York Valleys, three of the greatest
wheat-growing sections of the State
where the crop was partly destroyed. -
