FRUIT LOSS TREMENDOUS
IN LOWER VALLEYS

]. A. Wiseman and wife were here
from Paonia Saturday, enrou.e to Pit
kin, where they will remain few days
before going east to Illinois for the
winter. Mr.. Wiseman intends to study
photography some months at an east
crn school and then offer his services
to the government in that capacity.
There is a great demand for compet-
ent photographers as well as steno-
graphers and other workers of this
class.
Speaking of the fruit situation at
Paonia, Mr.. Wiseman and his wife
were working in the fruit this fall,
and made good money, but it was ter
rife to see 300 cars of beautiful
apples freeze and rot. After the third
heavy freeze, all attempt to pick
shipping apples was abandoned, ex-
cept the best on the north sides of the
trees, where they thawed out slowly.
A few growers saved these apples hop
ing to ship in bulk for purposes other
than the retail market, but the fruit
will not keep.
One fruit man that he mentioned
had at least 5000 boxes of fine ap-
pies. The crew was just started and
stripping close to 1000 boxes day
when the frost hit Paonia. Some 49,
600 boxes were picked after the first
frosts, but at least 5000 are rotting
on the ground. Some of the farmers
have hogs and sheep that can save
a portion of the waste. Stock cat
tie will also eat apples, but it dries
up milch cows.
Orchard after orchard of peach trees
are coming out. A traction engine
is used. A man on each side wraps
q chain with a grab hook on a tree.
The engine moves forward and out
comes the peach tree by the roots.
Meanwhile q man on the other side
is attaching to a tree in the opposite
row, and 30 it goes crFis
However, stock and alfalfa is every
year becoming more of standby on
the North Fork. It is wonderful
fruit country when the break is just
right, but the climate seems tribe
uncertain.

SHIPPERS AROUSED TO BITTER

nounced by Clifford Thorne.

VALUE OF FARM MANURE
The Source of Plant Food Should Not
Be Wasted.

The nationwide call is for a greater
production of food. One means of an
swering this call is to increase the
fertility of our lands SO that they
will be capable of producing greater
yields. To do this, it is necessary
to return to the soil the elements Of
fertility which crop feeds on and
which is removed when crops are
marketed. In many sections of the
country farmers have depended to .
large extent upon commercial fertili-
zers to restore the elements of plant
food which are used by the crops, but
now that these fertilizers have become
SO scarce it is possible at best to use
only limited amount. Rarely is it
profitable at present prices to apply
enough commercial fertilizer to re-
place all the plant food that a crop
removes. 1t is, therefore, highly im-
portant that all the manure that il
produced on the farm be utilized.
Here is a valuable source of plant food.
The farmer who feeds as much live
stock as possible may figure that he il
receiving a double remuneration for
his crops, first, from the sale of ami
mails; and second, from the fertilizer
elements which are left in the manure
and which are applied to the land to
increase crop production. Practically
all the nitrogen, phosphorus, and pot
ash, the three elements Of plant food
in which we are most concerned, which
are in the feeds, are recovered in the
manure from live stock. Growing an
inisls require some Of these substances
in building up bone and muscle as they
increase in weight. The dairy COW
uses . proportion Of them in the pro-
dnction Of milk, but . hard working
horse or . mule will not.
