the ladder steps or the limbs of the
tree that they must be thrown out
at once as waste.
For trees not too high, light step
ladder is better for picking, eight or
ten feet being convenient height.
A three-legged step-ladder will stand
most firmly on the ground and is
safest. For high trees the best lad
der is one built with the side rails
coming together in point at the top.
Such ladder can be pushed up
through the branches without knock
ing of fruit, and it requires only one
point of support at the upper end
When trees are heavily loaded with
green fruit on the under side of the
limbs, it may be desirable to make
two pickings, for if the green fruit
is left ten days or to weeks longer,
1t will improve enough in size and
color to pay well for the extra work.
Begin picking on the lower limbs
and proceed upward That will save
many apples from being knocked to
the ground by the pickers.
FoI UdIIcl packing, SeuO Ine IrulC
directly from the tree to a sorting
or packing table and from there into
the barrel If that cannot be done,
then the apples may be poured into
bushel crates very carefully, or into
barrels which are to be used later.
When barrels are used for temporary
storage OF apples in this way, the
leads should be laid in the bottom for
safe keeping and covered with a
paper cushion to prevent the head
boards fror cutting the fruit. Put
these apples in the barn or packing
shed until ready to barrel them. By
this method all the available help
may be employed in picking and the
packing may be done on rainy days.
Never, except in extreme cases,
pour the apples into piles on the
ground, for this will mean unneces-
sary bruising. decay and waste of
work.

If Iowa apple growers will exercise
little more care than ordinary in
the picking of their apple crop this
their profits, because the right pick
ing of fruit will add to its keeping
qualities and to its attractiveness
Shortly before starting to pick ap-
pies, gather up all dropped fruit from
the ground and haul it away That
will save it from trampling by the
pickers and also keep it from getting
mixed with the later falling apples
Do not pick apples too early Thou
sands of barrels are sent to market
every season in a green and imma-
ture condition, which interferes with
selling at good prices and affects the
keeping quality of the fruit Allow
the apples to hang on the trees until
they have attained nearly full color
and until they can be picked without
pulling out the stems or breaking
. the fruit spurs which bear the sub
sequent crops. Good full color adds
almost one-half to the market value
of an apple. That is not entirely a
matter of looks, but the consumer
has learned that mature apple con
tains greater amount of sugar and
hence is of better flavor than the
green apple.
If half-bushel picking baskets are
used, the apples will y, much less
bruised in picking than when they
are dropped into bag. When apples
are picked into baskets, suspended by
light iron hooks from convenient
limbs, they lie where they fall, while
when they are dropped into bags,
they are constantly shifted around
over each other with every motion
of the picker's body, resulting in
slight bruises which show up only
after the fruit has been stored a
month or two. Then, too, few APP
pies are nearly always SO badly
bruised btween the picker's body and

IOWA DAIRY
CONTEST
Holstein-Friesians So Far Sc
in the Majority

The Holstein-Friesians are in over
whelming majority thus far among
the cows entered for the w. w. Marsh
COW contest. OF the forty-six animals
thus far entered, thirty-eight are Hol-
stein-F riesians, seven are Jerseys and
one is grade Guernsey. OF the pure
bred Guernseys, which carried off the
honors in the first contest, there is
none in the contest thus far.
But the entry lists are not yet
closed and it is likely that the num-
Der of contestants will be consider
ably increased this fall The contest
will cover a period of two years, al
though each COW will be scored on a
years butter fat production. The
entry list was opened November l.,
1910; 1t does not close until Novem-
Der 1, next The scoring of all cows
will not be complete, therefore, until
November /, 1912. The results on
some of the cows which entered last
November will be known in another
two or three months.
The forty-six cows so far entered
include representatives from herds
at Rock Valley, Waterloo, Creston,
Pella, Cedar Falls, Buckingham, Hop
kinton, Monticello, Des Moines and
Waverley.
The indications now are that the
records of this contest will not aver
age as high as they did in the pre-
ceding contest, which was won by
Dairymaid of Pinehurst with more
than 800 pounds of butter fat produc-
ton. The unfavorable dry weather
is cutting down the milk yield of
even the best cared for animals, as
reported to the state college at Ames.
There are some herds which are for
tunately on silage feed all the year
around; these will not suffer 80 much,
If any; but such herds are in the MI
nority. The loss in yield is running
not less than Is per cent. 800

enabled him to increase the average
production of his herd of COWS from
231 pounds of butter fat per year to
800 pounds or more. The tests in
1909 showed him that some of his
cows were not paying for themselves
and it pointed them out individually.
The record of those poor cows stood
out in black against white; they were
condemned by their unquestioned fail

clearly that good business demanded
the elimination of these cows, and he
eliminated them and substituted bet

helped him to increase his average
butter fat yield per COW some 70
pounds.
