TWO BIG APPLE
CROPS REPORTED

(By Chas. A. Keffer, Division Of Elk.
tension, University OF Tennessee.)
Last August saw wonderful crop
of apples in Gibson county orchard,
near Dyer, Tenn. 1t was a little or
chard, of less than two acres Only
about half the trees fruited that year,
but what a load Of fruit on those forty
sixteen-year-old Winesap apple trees!
The old fashioned Winesap is one
of the best varieties for Tennessee;
it succeeds from the high places In
the Smoky mountains all the way
across the state. / never saw ouch
crop on such young trees anywhere
as these trees bore this year. Mr.. n,
l.. Overall, the owner, estimated the
crop at 1000 bushels--on forty six
teen-year-old trees!--and am quite
sure at the time of our visit they gave
promise Of at least 1000 bushels Of
first class fruit. Cow peas grew al
most waist high in the orchard, and
there was manure spread on the
ground. The trees had dark rich TO-
liage. They had been sprayed three
times. The fruit was remarkably
clean and free from worms. Mr.. Over
all told me during the last three years
he has made more money on his two
acres Of orchard than on all the rest.
OF the farm OF one hundred acres.
The first week In October | was In
an orchard Of ten or twenty acres near
McEwen in Humphrey county. Talk
about the land Of big red apples!
have never seen such show; the
trees were breaking under their bril-
liantly colored load There must ba

sorts Of the Highland Rim, and here
IS an orchard producing perfect
crop OF Delicious Champion. Etack

WHAT MACHINERY
SHOULD BE BOUGHT
High-Priced Machines Lie Idle Too
Much Of the Time-co-operative
Buying Suggested.

(By G. e. Alfred, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
This is the age of machinery. In
fact, machinery enables the small
number of farmers to grow food
enough to support the large number OF
persons who are engaged in the many
other industries. The farmers mutt
determine what machinery to buy,
what makes are best, and how to han
die machinery to get the fullest use
OF it.
Whether or not it will pay to buy
any particular machine depends on
"a where the machine is to be used,
(1) the possibility Of hiring the work
done at the desired time, and 81
how much the capital is needed for
other purposes.
In every community there are farm.
ers who have too little machinery for
their farms, and about the same mum.
Der who have too much. One extreme
is as bad as the other. 1t does not pay
to keep $100 machine when it is used
only two or three days year, as this
makes the cost for repairs, interest,
and depreciation from 81 to $40 day.
The work can be hired done for less
than this.

farmers to buy a machine in partner
ship. In order to avoid confusion each
man should understand definitely when
he may expect the use of the machine
Who is to house it and repair it should
be known.
The young man who is short Of
money can eften buy most Of his ma
chinery at public sales and save con-
siderable of his money for other uses.
If good judgment is used, one may buy
very cheaply in this way. The man
with plenty of money may prefer to
buy his machinery new.
