WORK FOR FARMERS CLUB
One of Most Effective Agencies in De-
Velopine Community-Social. Edu-
cationaI and Economic.

One of the we'll established facts is
that the development of community
must come from within. Outside
agencies may give the start but the
people of the community must supply
the constant energy needed in carry
ing on the development.
Farmers clubs are one of the most
effective agencies in developing COM
munity. says Farmers Mail and Breeze.
There were but few of them until the
county agents began their work. They
not only started the farmers clubs
but kept in touch with them, giving
suggestions and aiding in arranging
and providing programs.

CAUSES OF FRUIT FAILURES
Many Varieties of Apples and Pears
Are eIf-SteriIe-PoIIen From 9th
er Trees Remedies.

mpnt StatiOnD

BY W. W. ROBBINS. Colorado Expert
ment StationD
The failure Of orchard trees to set
fruit, in spite of the fact that an
abundance of blossoms is produced,
is due to one or more of several
causes. These are as follows:
l. lf-Sterility-Many varieties OF
apples and pears are selfsterile. That
is, they are not capable OF setting
fruit properly unless pollen from an
other variety is used. For example,
Bartlett and Kiefer pears, in many
locations, where they are planted IN
Iolid blocks, give less satisfactory re-
suits than when they are planted Win
such varieties as Lawrence, Duchess
and Anjou. With apples and pears II
is good practice TO mix varieties
However. if varieties with proper
afinities are selected, one variety 70
/ furnish the pollen is as good as num-
/ ger.
,. Frozen Pistils-The pistil. the
/ part of the flower to develop fruit, Is
more easily frozen than other parts or
he flower. Hence. the pistil may be
,rozen while other flower parts are
lot affected. consequently blossoms
are formed but fail to set fruit.
3. Weak Trees-Trees in a weak
condition, although blooming abun
dainty. often fail to set fruit.
4. Rain and Snow-The pistil may
De mechanically injured and the pol
en- washed away by rain or snow al
he time when the blossoms are open
5. Excessive Growth of Wood
Blossoms often drop in great number:
when the tree is forming an excessive
amount of wood.
s. Overabundance Of nitrogen fer
tiliZers.
I. Diseased buds.
s. Sprayed - Heavy spraying o
trees. especially before pollination
has in some few instances resulted Il
a loss of blossoms. This is not ser

"CREDlT" FARMER NEEDS

National philanthropy for the
farmer is neither necessary or
desirable. The chief credit
which the American farmer
needs is the credit for having
common sense and normal de-
sires for a pleasing and satisfy
ing life on the farm.
Point out by example the ben
eft that will naturally accrue
to all IL he will merely help
himself by working with his
neighbors. both in town and
country. and you will go a long
way toward solving the rurai
and social problem, the rural
economic problem and. incl
cidentally. a most important
national problem.
If the American people will
learn TO live with the farmer
instead of trying to live off the
farmer. the entire business of
agriculture will have received
a most stimulating redirection.
