Of high nutritive value. The output
of eggs is steadily growing, but the
demand is growing even faster than
the supply, due to the increased price
Of meat, as well as a preference for
eggs as food.
Though the production Of eggs Is
so widespread, only eleven states pro-

their own borders. and this production
does not cover the entire year. but

WHERE APPLES CAME FROM
Two Varieties Of Fruit Found Wild
In Europe, but Region Near Cas-

(By f. p. PowELL.)

(By f. p. POWELI.)
There are two varieties Of apples,
found wild In Europe, but the region
adjacent to the Caspian sea seems to-
have been the birthplace Of the apple
as known In the east. Charred pieces
Of apples are found In the heaps OF
refuse left by the Lake Dwellers, who
occupied portions Of Europe before
any Of the present races. These peo
pie lived on platforms laid over piles:
driven into the water-probably to-
protect themselves from animals. In
IN era before metal weapons were
known. These specimens Of apples
are generally carbonised BY heat. but
they show perfectly the internal
structure of the fruit. These are Ave
types OF native American apples. all
Of them crabs. John Smith wrote
from Virginia that he had found
some new crabapples, but they were
small and bitter" New Englanders
made the same report The Soulard
has the reputation Of being the larg'
est and best of these natives. Sprouts
Of this variety, like the Matthews. are
improved In size and quality. Selec.
tons might probably be made from
western thickets. Of even better sorts
than are now known. believe the
blood of the wild crab is In some Of

that commercial orchards that are cul-

This Ia especially true in localities
where little attention is given to fruit

thorough spraying and cultivation Of
orchards each year as practiced by
