Some Important Apple Tree Questions

frequently asked of the United States
department of agriculture. Will it pay
to fix up my old orchard of fifty trees?
What should 1 do to make my three
acre orchard profitable? What can be
done to get better income from our
small orchard which has been neglect
cd for years? What will 1t cost, and
what returns may be expected? A
bulletin of the department says:
Those orchards on which it probably
will not pay to spend much money or
effort may be put into four classes:
Orchards with less than so per cent

they are more than forty years of age;

I'VE that remained to her was
her daughter, Frances. Mrs.
Franklin's gloom wore upon her daugh-
ter, who was at that age when the
world is most delicious-the age Of
keen interest, of warm Friendships, of
love. Nevertheless Frances bore with
her mothers infirmities and made the
best Of the situation.
Then came Langdon Carr, who fell
desperately in love with Frances, she
returning his affection. Carr was In
every respect capable Of rendering her
happy. He was brilliant, well started
in his profession for SO young man,
heir to prospective wealth. Every one
said, ''At last poor Frances is to be
made happy"
The lover during his courtship had
observed the condition in the Franklin
home and spoke of Mrs. Franklin as
Mrs. Dismal" He was irritated to
find that it was impossible to get Fran
ces out with him one evening, for her
mother objected to being left alone. If
he spent the evening at the house and
lie and Frances wandered away into
another room Mrs. Franklin would
take OH a sour countenance and after
Langdons departure accuse her daugh
ter of having no feeling for her. Carr
resolved to end the unpleasant situa-
ton by marriage.
"Frances," he said, ~we Will have no
comfort until we set up for ourselves
in our own home. There we shall be
free and independent
This speech set Frances to thinking.
What would her mother do without
her? Either Mrs. Franklin must live
with her and her husband or sink I'M
der load of loneliness and sorrow.
Yet if she lived with them the daugh-
ter's condition would not be improved,
while the son-in-law would be reduced
to q similar condition. Frances stud
led to find solution, but there was
no solution. She must choose between
her mother and her lover. She decided
to remain single.
When Langdon Carr received her de-
cision he was very much troubled
However, he realized that ''Nirs. Dis

Early potato blight is liable to at

June until the crop Is ripe, but is most
seriously destructive In July and Au-
gust. 1t attacks the foliage. Professor
Kohler of the Minnesota experiment
station doubts II 1t will be profitable
to spray early paintings Of early var!e-
ties. 1t. however, others desire to do
SO he advises spraying when plants
are small and continuance Of the
treatment every ten days until at least
10 per cent of the leaf surface is dying,
when it will be useless to spray longer.
In rainy weather spraying should be
more frequent. Twenty-Five to thirty
five gallons of bordeaux per acre will
be required for treatment when the
plants are small, and as they advance
in growth the amount will need increas-
ing to fifty, sixty or seventy-fve gal
Ions per acre.

Of potatoes has proved profitable ut the
