Ames Experts Say That With Proper
Care They VIII be Among
Most Productive
in State.
FIND SOIL EXCELLENT
Spraying and Attacks on Tree Foes
viii Serve to Boost Yield
From These
Orchards.

The Ames orchard experts who Wis
tied this section Of the state on Sat
;urday, left this morning for Bonaparte
where they will visit the Meeks farm,
which is quite famed orchard and
one on which many OF the scientific
experiments in growing have been
tried.
That the southeastern part OF Iowa
has an excellent soil and that the
orchards OF this vicinity should be IN
as good shape or better than in the
other sections, II proper methods are
taken to put them into shape, were
opinions expressed by the four ex-
perts who made the trip.
Professor Beach wanted 1t under
stood that the extension department
OF the bureau would be glad to send
literature or men even to help the
growers out with their problems, II
they would make known their wants in
the matter. The work of the extern
sion bureau is at the command of the
growers, if they will but make known
their problems and wants. Bulletins
and the like are proving of much use
to orchardists and growers all over
the state and the orchardists in this
vicinity will receive these If they will
ask for them.
One Of the experts with the party
said yesterday that southeastern Iowa
has felt that it didn't have much to
offer in the way OF big orchards. How
ever 1t was said that the section has
the basis for as good orchards as can
be found anywhere II the growers
will only take the proper precautions.
and take the necessary measures to
war on the foes Of the trees.
Considering the manner : in which
the trees are cared for. or rather the
lack Of care given them, the experts
feel encouraged over what they saw.
They believe that II there is proper
spraying and pruning, and II the
borers and blight are cared for and
the trees generally taken care OF
scientifically. the orchards here will
produce excellent yields. The soil is
excellent and by applying modern
methods, the orchards may easily be
built up

MOTORCYCLE AND AUTO
COLLIDE IN ACCIDENT
Willis LeFaivre, Rider Of Motorcycle
Thrown to Sidewalk and Re-
eeived Severe Bruises.

Willis LeFaivre, $40 Morgan street,
was severely bruised and shaken us
when he crashed into an automobile
yesterday afternoon His machine
was reduced to mass of wreckage
and the car. owned and driven by
Fred G. Chaser was slightly damaged.
According to witnesses the accident
was due to the speed at which Le-
Faivre was riding On his way west on
Main street GIaser was driving his
car in the opposite direction on Main
street and had started to turn up
Fifth street when he saw LeFaivre
approaching.
Chaser said later that when he saw
LeFaivre it was too late to stop his
machine or to get around the corner
before LeFaivre would get to him.
Believing it would be impossible to
avoid an accident of some kind Chaser
attempted to make a complete turn on
Main street so that LeFaivre would
strike his car glancing blow instead
O. running directly into 1t.
LeFaivre was forced into the gut
ter just before his machine struck
Glaser's car. LeFaivre was thrown
on the sidewalk and badly bruised. A
physician was called and LeFaivre
removed to his home. No one in the
automobile was hurt.
The motorcycle rider this morning
said that Mr.. Chaser did all he could
to avoid the accident, and that his
action in turning his car as he did
probably saved his life. IeFaivre held
on to the car when the collision oc-
Cured, and this helped in keeping
him from serious injury He does
not blame Mr. Chaser for the smash
