Experiment. Conducted in New York Has Brought Returns Which Others Can Get

The New York experiment station has conducted a practical experiment in a 10-acre Baldwin apple orchard in western New York. They have run the orchard in a manner similar to that in which others in the neighOor- hood were operating; they did not try to put out a strictly high-grade prod product. They kept an absolute rec ,rd of everything in the line of ex- penses and receipts. They found over a 10ye& period that they received an average of s2.60 for all barrel stock sold including f1rsts and sec onds. This is not high at all. Many orchardists in the state have aver culls, cider and evaporating apples, they got an average of 72 cents per barrel, which is rather high because during two seasons heavy gales in creased the yield of windfalls with very good material
 The orchard during this period has averaged 79.2 barrel stock per acre and 37-6 culls per acre. The entire cost of tillage, cultivating, pruning, keting, interest on the investment, overhead charge of experimenting the orchard and the cost of the bar rel amounted to $1.29. To get at the profits from this orchard it is nec- essary to subtract $1.29 from $2.60, which shows the net profit of $1-31 Ter barrel for f1rsts and seconds. Null the profit per acre from firsts and seconds. It cost e3 cents per barrel 10 produce this stuff for market with out the package, the package itself averaged a cost of 36 cents. That means that it cost s3 cents per bar

ing lawn can be obtained renovation must take place. either by re-saeding or re-making of the entire lawn. The experiment station at Ames, fa., has he following to say relative to this subject. Undoubtedly this is solid ad- vice for people to follow: The most effective way to renovate the old lawn is to make new one. In most cases it will not pay to patch poor grass plot for the difficulty probably is due to lack of proper soil conditions and these cannot be satisfactorily remedied without an entire re-making of the lawn.
 'fIf the lawn is on a good soil and is merely diSfgured with weeds, it can Ee brought into satisfactory condition by scra tching the surface with a rake after removing the weeds and seeding with good cleaned seed, using about one-haIf as much as for new seed ing Bone meal, a complete commer- cial fertilizer and nitrate of soda may fher be added. But usually a poor lawn is due to originally poor soil conditions and these can only be rem edied by a new start. It is best to blow up the lawn. apply lime and manure, bone meal and commercial fertilizer seed with good grass seed, roll and keep moved and fertilized and new lawn may be secured which vii! prove very satisfactory"

Hale property on the south; to the old John Benham land on the east and is bounded on the north by the athletic field of the Ship and En- zine Co. It contains at rough esti- mate between Is and 20 acres.
 It would make one of the best of residential sections in case houses were to be erected for employees of the plant, an idea which has been under consideration in the public mind for some months. The deal has not yet been put through.
 Workmen from Norwich started in Tuesday morning to put a new front with big plate glass windows on the building on the corner of School and Thames streest, occupied by Scuris Brothers and used besides a wait ing room by the Groton & Stoning- ton line.

 For SiIage with Corn-Crown either separately or together on the same heid- Grown with corn, soy beans should take the place of the weeds usually found along the row. They will not decrease the corn yield and they are not difficult to harvest. Soy beans and corn can be planted to- gether with a corn planter if the soy ed. some difficulty will be experienced in getting an even planting of corn. Some corn planter companies now manufacture a separate bean hopper, which makes it easy to plant. The Hoosier and Flying Dutchman plant CTS have such attachments, and other manufacturers may have them devel- oped by now.
 For Seed aProduction-seed are scarce; the price varies from s % to s4.00 bushel, and the yield runs from IS to 30 bushels per acre. Threshing and handling are not difficult. The straw is valuable to blow under or to use as bedding for sheep or hogs.
 For Soil Improvement-Soy beans are legumes. able to use the nitrogen in the soil air. The roots and stubble enrich the soil; the whole plant, if p1owed under, enriches the soil much more. For sandy land, soy beans grown and plowed under will help to build up fertility.
 If you try soy beans remember that: l. Good cultivation early in the season Is necessary to give soy beans a good chance. 2. For silage grown with corn plant as heavily as if alone and aim to get an increased yield by growth of soy beans. 3. Both lime and inocu- Ia ton are very desirable, but good stand and good cultivation are more essentia1.-iBenjami G. Southwick Agronomy Department, Connecticut Agricultural College.

rel to produce culls. Subtracting 72 cents, the price obtained, from 93 cents gives a loss of 21 cents on each carrel- of cuils, or total of s7.s9 per acre. Subtracting this from the profit of $143.49 gives a net profit per acre of this orchard over the last 10 years of ss5.e0 on the average. To, get at the interest made on this fn-' vestment, it is necessary to add $25 interest per acre, since it has already been charged as an expense. This means total return from the invest ment of $120.6O per acre, or 24e12 per cent on the $500 investment. This was received every year over a 10- year period
 The same thing can be duplicated by hundreds of growers. City people should consider this matter from the investment standpoint and plant trees extensively this year. being careful to follow practical methods:

Activi- ties at the Noank shipyard, the New London Ship and Engine Go. and ex- pected renewal of ship building at Mystic are responsible for the signs of the boom.

 Ed velton. of Rogers. Neb. writes: sI have used Foley Kidney Pills for backache, the result of catching cold which settled in my Back. Foley Kidney Pills always give me prompt relief and I can cheerfu1ly recom- mend them"
 The reason Foley Kidney Pills act so satisfactorily is because they neu- tra1ize and dissolve the poisonous waste matter that remains in the blood because the kidneys do not do their work properly in Altering and casting out from the system uric acid and other poisons.
 Relief usually follows in few days and such symptoms as pain in the sides or back, stiff joints, sore muscles, rheuma tfsm, too frequent action of tho bladder at night, and other painful and annoying ailments disappear.
