What Care Did to Joseph Stoddard's
 Fifty Neglected Trees.

More than s989 reEenue from 5e apple treest This is the admirable record made this season with a lit tie orchard on the farm of Joseph Steddard, near Abingdon. It was only three years age when A4r. Sto 1Gard granted the use of the orchard 10 Prof. Jerxis of the Connecticut Az ricurtural college for scientific culture demonstrations. The orchard contains only about one and one-ha1f acres and the fifty comparatively young ap- pie trees growing upon it had hot received any attentic2 to speak of and might b9 regarded as neglected Th9 demonstrations proved of inter est to fruit growers in PomfEet and surrounding towns After one yVar' s care the trees, which had been thor oughly pruned and sprayed showed an increased and improved yield. The next year. 1912, still under the care of Professor Jarvis, the trees made & better showing than in the year before.
 During the season of 1913 MT. Stod- dard has taken care Of the Orchard and the results are surprising. From i've trees Of Baldwins fifty barrels of grad No, ] apples were secured and ten barrels of No. 2 quality, an average of I2 barrels of apples per tree Five other trees produced 30 barrels of No. l and six barrels of No. 2 greentngs, Six trees bearing russets produced 36 barrels of No. 1 quality and bar rels of No 2 quality.
 While there are about 50 trees in the orchard, S5 of the number prac- dcally produced 3o6 barrels of apples, which have been marketed at an aver age price of s3 a barrel The other Is trees in the orchard are too young to add greatly to the yield.
 This is one of the finest apple grow ing records made in the county and again demonstrates the possibilities in fruit culture in Connecticut
