MARKETING CROP OF FRUIT
Producer Benefits Himself and Con-,
sumner by Avoiding Shipping
and Storage Expenses.

It is generally conceded that to
grow a crop of fruit is only half of
the task; that to market 1t success
fully is just as important, and often
more difficult, especially in those sec
lions where growers are not organized
for that purpose. 1t is also sound doc
trine that wherever the producer can
develop a home market for his prod
ucts and get them to the consumer as
directly as possible, eliminating as far
as may be shipping and storage ex-
penses and middlemen's profits, he Is
benefiting both himself and the con-
sumer.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES

Grapes require welI-drained soil
Of good fertility.
An annual light pruning Is much bet
ter than a heavy pruning every few
years.
In a neglected orchard there win
probably he many diseased limbs.
These should be removed.
The strawberry beds should be rem
ovated and renewed in order that they
may get favorable growth.
never has the demand been so great
as during the last few years.
Many people have an idea that the
scuppernong grape does not need
pruning. but this is erroneous.
Notwithstanding the prospective adj
vance in price of nursery products, 1t
is profitable to plant fruit trees.
Almost any soil that will grow good
corn is suitable for strawberries. They
require less nitrogen than any Of the
grains.
Don't knock the apples off the trees
and then throw them into barrels IL
you expect them to keep long. Every
bruise means quick decay Of that
part.
There Is no disease to which pears
are subject that is so destructive as
'pear blight" known technically as
Bacillus amylovorus.
Grapes usually are propagated
from cuttings grown In nursery, but
II is possible for one to make and
develop his own cuttings.
A tree may be headed as low as de-
sired; yet care should be taken to
leave branches that have an upward
tendency, so as to leave the tree In .

Keep 800 Job
Bureaus Open

with returns from five large states not
yet received and those from none OF
the other states complete, The continu-
ance of 26i employment offices already
is assured. Because of its limited APP
preparation the federal employment
service is itself able to finance but
sixty offices, and the outside support
for the other 200 offices will be con-
tinued until congress acts upon the
Nolan Kenyon bills for a permanent
national employment service.
Welfare organizations and chambers
of commerce lead among the various
agencies that are keeping federal EN-

tiers. personnel and funds. The agen-
cies which have been cooperating
with the employment service since de-
mobilization began also are continuing
their support of the 1000 emergency
bureaus for returning soldiers and
sailors.
Keep 800 Open.
John b. DenSmOre, director general
of the United States employment serv-
ice. predicted that when the returns
from the states are complete it will be
found that considerably more than
three hundred federal offices will be
open through voluntary contributions.
From the end of March TO June 80. he
said, more than four hundred offices
were kept in operation by outside
funds in expectation that after the
latter date the employment service
would be able to resume their financ-
ing. but because of the reduced ap-
preparation for the new fiscal year, he
explained, continued support is being
asked for the next five months. within
which period, it is understood con-
gress will have acted on the measure
for a permanent service.
