high prices The first Of these newer
paintings are now beginning to come
in bearing, and will continue TO In
crease in production during the next
10 years. In case production IN
creases beyond the natural demands
OF the market, those parts of the coun-
try best adapted 10 growing and mar
keting fruit Will be at an advantage.
The fact that the cost of harvesting
apples and placing them In our ATTAIN
tice coast markets OF the far western
states, where planting has been very
heavy, has N the past been as great,
II not greater, than the entire cost OF
growing and marketing equally good
fruit N our eastern states. should be
proof enough Of the folly of the heavy
expansion 5of apple growing in the
western states which has taken place
in recent years. The heavy produc-
ton of apples in North America is
in the north Atlantic states and the
section around the Great lakes as far
west as Lake Michigan. This Sec
ton produces nearly one-half of the
crop of the United States The
southern Appalachian states. produce
about one-f1fth, the central Mississip-
pi valley another fifth. and the noun
tain and PIciffc coast lands about
one tenth of the totale crop. OF these
various sections the figures show that
the Pacific coast states gather the
largest and most uniform crop. then
among these states New England fares
better
Fluctuations in crops from year to
year are brought about. first by
spring frosts. These rarely affect the
crop In New England. where orchards
are properly located They are very
destructive in the Mississippi VAL
| ley and very less SO in the south
ern Appalachian states. A second
factor p cold or cloudy weather at
blooming time. This often limits, the
crop In New England, possibly more
often than in the central West, and
certainly more frequently than in the
Pacific coast.
| A third factor is the rayages of
| insects and diseases. The codd1ing
moth and apple 'scab frequently cause
| heavy crop and serious 1essening of
| the crop Dry weather may occasion
ally limit the crop. but it Is not a. Sc
| r1ous factor. The production per tree
| is highest in New York, somewhat less
| ins New England, and least of all in
| the Mississippi valley. The cost of
growing apples varies from about 81
| to So per barrel, an average price of
| 81 or better should be demanded by
| the apple grower and anything below
| this means fnferiority.
There are three ways in which prof
| it's may be increased, first by produc-
ing at q lower cost, second by SELL
1 ing for a higher price, and. third, by
selling more goods at a gwen price.
The apple grower may make progress
| along all three of these lines. Co
| operation In marketing and better
| grading should insure higher price
per barrel than he would otherwise re-
ceive. Undoubtedly the poor or in
different grower will feel the pinch
during the next 10 or Is Years. Prob
ably a good many of them will be
| crowded out of the business. While
this process is going on, the inte,1-
| gent man who studies his business
| and who works with intelligence and
| enthusiasm will be In position to
reap liberal profit from the BUSH
ness.

SPROUTS FOR HOME TABLE
Information for the Housewife About
Brussels Sprouts. ~.


Brussels sprouts belong to the same

delicate. of all members Of this family.
To be quite perfect they should be
not INCH larger than English. wa1nuts
in size They are usually sold by the
quart and are cheapest and best in
the fall ard early winter When
bought in. the market they need about
Is minutes of soaking in cold water
to freshen them. They should then be
cooked in boiling sailed water for
about 20 minutes and then drained in
In coiander before adding the sea-
soning. ~

sort of yellowishs green and become
soft. They should be a bright green
and very delicate In texture when
cooked They may be served with
butter, salt and pepper or with. nloin
cream sauce, made of butter, flour
and milk. r
Practically any recipe giving direc-

POULTRY IN COLD WEATHER
SHOULD BE WELL HOUSED
The Necessity for Care in Winter Ex-
planned by an Expert.

1t being 50 extremely important that
poultry, during the cold fail day and
night rains and the bad weather of
winter, to do well. be properly. and
comfortably housed, the Pennsylvania
Department Of Agriculture urges farm
ers and all others keeping poultry at
this time to do the following things to
their poultry houses this month.
First, To thoroughly clean by re-
moving all rubbish. litter, dung and
interior fixtures; by sweeping down all
walls, etc, and applying coat of
Whitewash And to do this on a clear,
sunny day so as to promptly dry out.
Second, To see that the roof Is
tight and does not leak in the heaviest
storms.
Third, To batten all cracks to the
north, west and east. and if there are
any windows or openings on the north
side or in roof or ut caves TO close up
tight, with boards.
Fourth, To arrange or rebuild so
that from fifty to eighty per cent Of
the south side is in openings and in
glass. 1t is important though, that
there be not any considerable amount
Of glass in a poultry house. A house
with q. twenty-foot frontage to the
south and eight feet from floor to roof
on this side-the roof should always
slope to the north, if it does not, tnrn
the building or change its location un-
til it does-can have an opening ten
feet long by Ave feet high placed in
it's exact center and can have an or
binary sized window on. each side Of
opening and be about right
Fifth, To pat in a floor, tongue
and grooved board floor. or an tnsu-
lated cement floor. A great many
farmers BALI at this expense, but it
is the thing to do il poultry are to
have any chance at all to make good
in bad weather Board or cement
floors in the poultry house are really
feeding floors and floors under good
management are always covered with
deep clean litter, with some grain al
ways therein and the chickens always
busy scratching. Such floors become
polished like wax and the only clean
ing they need is a weekly shaking Of
the straw to one. side and the sweep
Ing together and removal of the dirt
and fine stuff

PLAN SEASONS WORK NOW.
Advantages Of WcH-Arransed Plan
Outlined by Prot Paul Work.

The planning Of ones farm, and the
method Of operating the different
parts Of It are much more important
than one is likely to realize. Gardeners
above all others should carefully plan
everything out during the winter sea-
son for the coming seasons active
work. The following material by Prof
Paul Work gives the definite advan-
tages of careful planning
/. Economy of land. When work
ing without a plan it is easy to plant
a crop which will occup the land until
whereas, earlier planting, or the selec-
ton of different crop, might make
possible double utilization.
2. Good distribution of land.
g. Good distribution of income with
which to meet expenses. This means
that the running account at the bank
can be kept at a lower level and thus
the interest charge may be reduced
whether one is using his own money
or borrowed money.
4. A constant hold on the market.
Statesmen recognize the fact chat they
must see their trade frequently in or
der to hold 1t. The same principle ap-
plies to gardening.
5. Ample advance provision may be
made. for seed, fertilizers and plants.
This means not only procuring the
necessary materials, but it also means
time for finding out where and how
the best may be had.
6. Opportunity to prepare the land
well in advance This includes fail
blowing, which relieves the pressure
Of spring work, and at the same time
It is in many cases better for the soil.
Perhaps the greatest advantage of
all lies In the opportunity which is af-
forded for careful consideration OF all
the details OF management tbs prob
lens of crop growing are bro&5ht to
mind while there is still time ttf look
up literasu re to secure and study I'D
1etins, to correspond with the stsS&SF

TREES FOR HIGHWAYS AND
PASTURES.

The idea of planting fruit and nut
trees along the highways has been
discussed for a long time and in many
sections laughed at because of the
possibility of the product being taken
by people who have no right to the
fruits. The highway department Of
Missouri has been planting fruit and
nut-beariug trees along the state
roads for a. number Of years. Many
Of the trees are not in good bearing
and the state highway commissioner
claims that very little Of the fruit is
stolen. ARRANGEMENTS have been COM
p1eted in Pennsylvania for co-ope-a-
ton between the Pennsylvania de-
partment of forestry and the high
way department for the planting Of
shade and fruit trees along tile state
highways. The forestry department
will grow the trees and the highway
department will plant them and take
care Of them. This may not be prac-
ticaI near some Of tho large centers
of population in Hampden. county, but
certainly 1t Is worth considering in
rural sections. This will be more
and more true as 1aud becomes more
valuable and one has to get the most
from all that he has. b., ,

PEAR -PsYLLA. BECOMING COM
MON.

Pear Psylla is getting more common
and is doing more damage than here
tofore. at this time of year. The rough
bark should be scraped of from the
trunk and the larger branches to rem
der these places less attractive for the
adult psylla. 1t also makes it much
easier to reach the insects when
spraying. Great numbers of the psyIla
are scraped off with the bark and
perish on the ground. 1t is especially
valuable to collect these scrapings and
burn them During the warm days in
November and December many adult
psylla crawl out from their hiding
places and do not readily take fight
as they are very sluggish. Il large
proportion of these may be destroy ed
by thoroughly spraying all trees with
40 per cent nicotine sulphate solu-
ton, one-haf pint to so gallons of
water adding about two pounds of
soap. Applications should be made on
days when there is no danger Of the
liquids freezing OH the trees. It is
important to spray both sides of the
trees before proceeding to the next
because the flies often dodge to the op-
posite side of the branch thus escap-
ing the insects, and they are killed by
smothering. It is hoped that those
who have pear trees will spray this
fall when conditions are ripe
