Council Bluffs, Oct with the an
nual apple harvest at the state expert
mental farm east Of the city practically
over, only about two-thirds the monster
crop that was harvested last fall is to
be garnered this year, according to the
best estimates. But two-thirds crop
at the state farm with the modern
scientific methods In vogue there,
means at least double the crop that
was considered exceedingly satisfactory
at the same orchard when the Ames
men took charge.
The apples this year, it is estimated,
will total about 1000 bushels. Ana
this is considered a comparatively poor
yield in a year when many of the or
chards in this vicinity are failing en-
t,rely. Would that more of the or
chards had the same kind Of poor

A trip to the old Boyer orchard at
this time of year, when the fruit is pc
ing carefully gathered from the trees
and so far as possible is being pre-
vented from even being blown to the
ground. is an inspiration to the man
who loves an occasional glimpse, II not
more frequent, Of the beauties OF ma

Has Been Big Success.
The Ames men took charge of the or
chard in June, 1910, under ten-year
lease. 1t had not been properly taken
care of. and the first year the crop
to practically nothing. In 1911
the harvest amounted TO about LOO
bushels and the next year there was a
bumper crop of $500 bushels 1t fell
off again in 1918, with the old rule that
has now been completely discarded that
an orchard can be expected to bear a
good crop only every other year, rest
ing a year in between. That year there
were about 1000 bushels OF apples, the
last Of the short crop seasons.
In 1914, there were 1900 bushels, and
last year about. 5000 bushels. with a
crop this season estimated at about
4, 200 bushels on the twenty three acres
