Why Fruit Trees May
Not Produce Full Crop

Inc information or statement con-
tanned in the following. clipped
from a recent issue of the Boston
Globe, may be worth while remem-
bering and noting the outcome:
| recently read an article by ar
expert in State agricultural COL
lege which was most interesting to
me. l am passing it on that others
may read.
Fruit trees. this expert says. have
bloomed very fully this Spring with
the possible exception. perhaps. of
cherries. but great many of these
trees are not going to produce full
crops of fruit.
In nearly all parts Of the State
when the trees were in bloom the
weather was cool. and in some cases
cold. rainy. damp weather has pre-
vailed with only one or two DAYS
each week when the sun shone and
/, warmed up so that bees and 9TH
Il insects could work freely. The
fruit blossoms are not pollinated to
any extent except by insects Bees
particularly are the chief agent of
cross pollination. and they work
best when the temperature is above
80 degrees
Consequently there is going to be
large June drop" or natural thin
ming Of fruit and in many cases
from so to 90 percent Of the young
fruit will drop from the trees. Many
people will undoubtedly attribute
this lack of fruit to some form of in
sect trouble or disease. but it is
simply due to the unfertilization or
non pollination of the fruit bios
som caused or due to the unseason-
able weather.
Trees which would have produced
a full crop of fruit this year and
have only a scattering crop are very
likely to have a crop of fruit next
season.
In the case Of cherries and pears
the blossoms come out and look
perfectly healthy but in many cases
he pistil or the stamens. in some
,ases both. have been killed by the
weather previous to the time of
plocming.-Farmerette.

June IA. to be presented formally to
the State.
The ceremony will take place at 10
o'clock in the morning on the lawn in
front Of the State House. While
there may have been events in the
State grounds in the past that were
equally as noteworthy, there has
never been anything since the Capitol
was remodelled that could compare
with the significance of the ceremony
as it will be given on Flag Day.
The formal presentation will be
made by Colonel Frank H. Hume Of
Houlton. who commanded the I'd
Maine and also the 103d while 1t was
in France. The colors will be re-
ceived by Governor Carl Milliken

SOLDIERS INSURANCE
All Soldiers Should Avail Themselves of
Benefits Which Accrue to Them
as Well as all Claims.

The complete plan is now out from
the Government for the continuation of
| the Insurance carried by the soldiers
| during the late war. In the first place
| the Insurance may be kept in force and
continued by keeping up the premiums
| the same AS during the war for the space
OF five years from the close of the war
| However, the Home Service would rec
ommend that instead the soldier would
do better by having the policy changed
to the old line plan which can be done
| by paying the current premium and
making application for the policy desir-
ed, and the amount should he wish the
amount reduced. Then il soldier has
become delinquent the government will
| reinstate him very easily and in most
cases With little effort on bis part as il is
the earnest desire Of the U. : that every
man shall share in this remarkable Nan
to be insured. This is a thing every
soldier should do as IL will be some time
before he may certainly know AS 10 the
effect the Camp and army life may have
npon him. Just now one of Clusters
young men Ia in the hospital with a
break down which has Just appeared
and which is undoubtedly a result of ex-
posure and camp life, and as he carries
his insurance he is in a position should
the malady become permanent to draw
on this insurance an amount in propor-
ton TO The disability. No other insur-
ance is so cheap aud certainly none more
certain to be safeguarded
The several policies, Reinstatement

gladly furnished with all information at
hand 10y the Home Service Section of

discharged previous to February oath,
