THINNING HELPS TO GROW BIG
APPLES

This is the year for another big
crop OF apples in most parts Of Mime
sofa. Apple trees that are overloaded
with fruit should have much picked
off, so that those left may get all the
food needed. Superior fruit-large
SIZE, we'll colored, and free from in
juries-always sells. To produce such
fruit should be the aim of everyone
growing apples:
Thinning is not an added expense.
1t is a means Of avoiding picking
lot of second class fruit b. removing
part of the crop before it natures.
Careful tests show that thinned trees
produce as large a quantity of fruit
as trees not thinned. No absolute rule
can be given as to how much to- thin.
because there is too wide difference
IN the vigor of trees, even those of the
same variety. A safe rule, however. is
not to allow more than one apple to
remain from cluster and to have none
nearer to it than six inches.
Thinning should be done soon after
the June crop has taken place, when
the apples are about an inch in diam
ter. All misshapen and diseased an
pies should be picked off. Thinning as
we'll as giving better apples, saves the
tree considerable work in producing
seeds and tends to insure a crop everV
year.
There are thousands of persons who
want to eat Minnesota apples. They
like those Of good size, color and quail

MODERN HOUSE AIDS IN LIKING
COUNTRY

The farm boy or girl likes to live in
a good house. The call OF the city IS
largely a call of the better house, the
house better adapted to being made q
home, say men in the United States
Department of Agriculture.
It is not necessary to 60 to the city
to get a modern home. A farm nome
can be built for three or four thousand
dollars that would cost nearly twice as
much in the city. A hghting and neat
ing system can be installed as cheaply
in the country and kept up at a much
smaller expense than similar conven-
fences can be kept in the city home:
The amount of money necessary for
taxes and for public improvement is
almost negligible to the farm home
owner, To the owner Of the city home
it is considerable.
The amount of money to be invested
in the building of farm home should
not de discriminatory its relation to
the bala1ce of the plant in size nor
the amount needed to provide shell
ter. It should be the amount the own.
er may reasonably afford to spend
without financially Gripping himself
too severely, says the Department OF
Agriculture. The average city home
is bought as a social investment: The
buyer looks to the comforts and con-
veniences that he can get in the new
home that can not be supplied IN a
rented house. He does not think of
how much he can sell the house for
when he no longer wants it. He knows
he can not sell it, oftentimes, for as
much as he must pay for it in the first
place.
The better farm home is not a pana-
cea for all ills of dissatisfaction with
farm life. There will be farm boys
and farm girls who will want to take
up other professions than tilling the
soil. The problem, continues the De-
partment Of Agriculture, is not to
force them to stay on the farm, but to
make conditions good enough there
that they may make an intelligent
choice.

$4,000 LOST BY GRADE sREs'

Hundreds of Minnesota farmers are
wasting time, money, feed and labor
by breeding to grade stations each
year. The difference in service fee
between a good, purebred and COM
mon grade sire is seldom more than
$40 and often not more than SIS. The
difference in the value Of the colt
when three years old is from $25 to
800, though the cost Of feed and care
is about the same.
The average value Of horses on Min:
nesota farms is $109.80 head, which
is not enough to pay for producing
them. By the use of sound, purebred
draft sires, the average farm mare
can be made to produce colt worth
5000 at working age and the better
farm mare will produce foals to make
$3.50 or $3.50 horses.
There are 1896 grade sires licensed
for service in the state. Now count
ing that the "get" of these sires will
return a profit $25 less than the get
Of purebred sire, which is a conserv-
alive estimate, the use of the common
sires is costing the farmers of Mime
sofa from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
That the farmers are realizing the
value Of the purebred stallion is shown
by the fact that the number of such
horses registered has increased more
than so per cent since 1910 and that
the number Of grade stations regis
tered has decreased more than II per
cent in the same time.
The Minnesota stallion law requires
that every horse that stands for public
service must be licensed. It further
provides that every bill, poster or ad.
vertisement of the horse must contain
an exact copy Of his state license and
that copy of the license be posted on
the door Of every barn or building
where the horse makes stand. Mis-
leading illustrations, pedigrees, and
other untruthful matter are forbidden
on the advertisement.
Any stallion owner who does not
comply with the provisions Of the
stallion regulations has no legal right
to collect service fees.-J. S. Mont
gomery, assistant secretary, Minneso-
ia Stallion Registration Board.

SPRAY WILL CHECK RAVAGES OF
BLIGHT


The blossom and twig blight of
plums is prevalent this spring. Bios
SONS and twigs affected with the blight
become brown in color and die. On
close examination it may be found
that there is a grayish or brownish
powder on the surface. In some or
chards the blight has become so seri-
GUS as to kill from Is to 40 per cent
of the flowers. In many cases it has
also attacked the twigs and killed
many of them, sometimes even going
back into the smaller branches.
The fact that there is so much of
the trouble indicates that the plums
were probably not sprayed before the
blossoms opened. This would have
prevented much of the disease. At
present the best thing to do is to spray
very thoroughly with lime sulphur, one
gallon to forty gallons Of water, to
which 2A pounds Of arsenate of lead
paste or half as much powder should
be added. This will prevent the rot
fungus from spreading, and will help
to prevent the rotting of the fruit lat
er. When the plums are beginning to
ripen they should be sprayed az ain
with lime sulphur alone in the same
proportion. At this time it would be
well to add some sticker to the spray
material.
Station bulletin No. 153, University
Farm, will give further information on
treating. blossom blight of plums, or
the section of plant pathology will
give special information to anyone
writing for it.-E. G. Stakman, Uni
versity Farm.
