Sell the summer apples and save the
winter ones. This Is the warning be-
ing sent out by the horticultural mer
Of the agricultural extension depart
ment at Iowa State College.
Growers who have large number OF
summer apples would do well to ad-
vertise them at fairly low price and
let the consumer pick them under the
supervision Of the grower. Town pee
pie with autos might be induced to
come out to the country and get the
apples. This would be much better
than letting them go to waste. The
grower should supervise the picking
however, for persons unfamiliar with
picking would be likely to injure the
trees.
Summer apples such as the Duchess,
Yellow Transparent and Early Harvest
are excellent for drying, for cider, COR
vinegar or apple syrup Worms arc
not bad this year, but even wormy
apples will do for. drying. as we'll as

picked hard, ripe a. the mellow ripe
apple does not dry SO well.

but should be stored and 1eld over un-
til in the winter. A patriotic use can
be made Of the fruit cellar and sew

his fruit over.
