OLD FRUIT TREES TO BE
REJUvENATED

The immediate rejuvenation Of
the hundreds Of millions or more Of
loss on barren fruit trees throughout
the United States, 30 as to bring
them up to their full productivity, is
the object Of a new movement which
has been started by the food admin
istrator OF Iowa, working with the
nursery men and the agricultural
agents of that state. and which is
being energeticaliy taken up by other
food administrators all over the
country.
This is splendid and very prac-
tical idea." said W. X. Newell. as
sistant federal food administrator
for Oregon. "and one that we expect
To follow up in this state. We all
recognize that fruit Is necessary
food and extremely valuable in the
maintenance OF general good health.
While Oregon is especially prolific in
fruits Of high quality and great va
riety. there are many orchards that
are being neglected and have not
been bearing up TO their full quality
or quantity for number Of seasons.
Owners Of such orchards should i'm
mediately get in touch with this Of
ice or with the Oregon Agricultural
college at Corvallis for advice as to
how to rejuvenate their trees and
get them into full bearing as soon as
possible. The aggregate amount OF
the fruit that neglected trees in this
state may be made to yield, II the
orchardists win cooperate with the
food administration in this move
ment, will be a very substantial addi-
tion to oregon's food resources. Full
production Of every kind Of food is
urgently asked by Mr.. Hoover, in or
der that we may feed our armies
and our allies, and fruit is very
important item. The rejuvenation
Of old or neglected fruit trees is
merely eniciency, and we must have
more efficiency II we are to win this
war against the most efficient ma
tion in the world"
