APPLE MARKETING.
Commercial Supply Much Less Than Last Year-Mar<et Conditions Show Marked Improvement.

The. marketing of the 1915 apple crop opens with more encouragement to growers than they found in the pros pect for the 1914 crop. According to Investigations conducted by the Bureau off Crop Estimates, last reports show the condition of the crop to be approx lmately 80 per cent of the yield last year. The business conditions also show a marked improvement over last season.
 Unfortunately, when the demand for apples is good, many growers and pack CTS seem to feel that poor grading is justified. and in such years that is a tendency to lower standards. Atten- ton is called to the fact that no condi- ton can justify anything but an honest pack. For poor grade and shoddy pack the producer ultimately must pay, although temporarily the packer may receive an advantage. Apples should be sold for just what they are, accord ing to the recognized grades. Whether or not the price may be high, grow CTS and dealers alike should adhere strictly to that policy.
 Under all conditions there are cer- tain fundapental processes that ought o+bes observed in preparing the crop for market if success is to be as- sured. The fruit should be picked and pack
 
 against abnormal deterioration. With perishable varieties having a long rpen1nS season it is suggested that growers should not attempt to flar- vest the crop at one picking. but rath. CT should glean the trees for only such. fruit as is ready, to come of. rs- beating the process until thes crop has been picked in uniform condition. The advantage is that the shipping period may begin earlier and last longer. thereby securing greater time for ef- secting distribution. Furthermore, If ll the fruit is harvested at the same lime it is to be Temembe that si1ip- nents represent extreme stages of naturity. ranging from ripe to. green n the same package. and that fre- auently toward the end of the aeason ver-ripe condition of a portion of the .rop may result from failure to pick irst only. what is in condition for marketing.

CLOVER.
In Growing It Soil Should First 5s
 Titled with Organic Matter.

Farmers ought not to expect great things of clover unless their soil Is fer tile and In tip-top physical condition. Glover is jealous of organic matter humus-and one reason why clover succumbs when the nurse crop ts re- moved is. there is not enough organic matter in the soil to conserve the moisture. Here is an example in point: How many farmers have ob- served that when clover and new seeding" in general. dies out over near ly all of field there is usually a good catch along the strip bordering the woods or under the shade of trees? Now. two things account for this. namely; first. there is loss evaporation of soil moisture in shaded places: sec ond. the presence of dead and decaying forest leaves both in the soil and on top of the soil serve the function of a sponge to hold the moisture.
 The first step in successful clover growing is to till the soil with organic matter. and for this purpose there is nothing better than stable manure not a little speck here and there but a good liberal coating over every squarS foot of the field. When this Is plowec under and incorporated with the sot early in the season clover Is not apt tc

Sprout- ing oats on the surface is often done, but unless the feeding commences early enough so that the green oats an fexpensive system, as the oats re- quired for the purpose has more value than the silage saved. Besides, this is only a partial preventive against spoilage. The cutting of weeds on top is not to be recommended. as the silage is to snap the ears out of the last two or three loads of corn put in, thus saving the grain. and after soak ing and packing the surface. allow the Htop layer to spoil and seal the silo.

 Sealing the Siio.
 When a silo is filled, the top eight or ten inches mold and decay into an air tight layer which seals the mass be- low. Various means have been em- ployed to save these top eight inches. Straw is often ut fine, soaked down with water and packed.

FROSTED CORN sILAeE.
Farmers Gan. Save Corn Which Fails
 to Mature by Putting It Into the
 siIo immediately After the First Frost.


 The fact that wind whipped and frosted corn If properly handled can be put into the silo and will still make good stlage may prove of great advan- tage to corn growers.
 Adding Water.
 Where the fodder has been severely frosted or burned. or. has been allowed to mature so that the leaves and husks are brown, water must be added in order to thoroughly wet the fodder and make it pack more easily and to help exclude khe alr. The amount required depends upon the condition of the fodder. There Is not much danger of adding too much water, but there is serious danger of using too little, The fodder should como from the blower in 9 thoroughly wet condi- ton, The best method of adding water ls to run 1t direatly into the blower.
