FARMERS union, an organization OF
100000 members, did an aggregate

to reports submitted at the annual
union convention here several days
Strung across more than twenty
states, the business activities Of the
union have become most important
factors in the farming industry and
the agency feature presents the only
working cooperative marketing plan.
today, according to officials.
b, The agencies are maintained pri-
marily to bring to the members the
highest market prices for what they
produce and to offer them commodi-
ties at the lowest prices.
Under the. plan the farmer men,
ber ships his produce or livestock to
the nearest selling agency. There it
is taken in charge BY men who have
his interests at heartland not sold unc.,
til the highest price has been COM
manded for the purcl1ase of commodi-
ties he needs, the member turns to
the purchasing agency, whether he
wants calico, two by tours or a steam
tractor. He finds them offered, off,
Gals say. at prices considerably be-
low those he would have to pay ordi-

The operating expenses of the sell

The Apple Tree.

Every orchardist knows that the apple
trees in his orchard are of given variety
because the nurseryman from whom he
bought the trees grated them when
small with scion of that variety. Few
orchardists realize, however, how i'm
portant it is TO know from whence the
graft came. To be more explicit, was
the graft taken from tree of high yield;
was it taken from limb which was it.
self in full bearing?
From studies it has been found that
the gratis should be selected from trees
large for their age, from limbs which are
themselves high yielders, and that water
sprouts should not be used 1t goes al
most without saying that vigorous,
healthy trees only should be chosen if
the results sought for (heayy bearing
treeS are to be obtained.
A leading man in Names agriculture
wrote the director of this station some
months ago as to the importance of es-
tablishing reliable nursery for propa-
CATION of the apple in Maine. The fol-
lowing is quoted from that letter:
Il think it is of enormous importance
that the right kind OF trees should be
available for, the planting of future or
chards. The Maine apple is rapidly COM
ing into its own, and the wisdom of the
purchase of Highmoor Farm and the car
ryng on of your orchard experiments
there, is being demonstrated with greater
emphasis year by year. l am still of the
opinion that there ought to be State
nursery established for the purpose of
scientifically demonstrating correct nur-
sery methods, and for furnishing to some
ex ent at least the necessary nursery
stock for the tree planters of Maine, with
special reference, perhaps, to those who
desire TO plant Gregory Carlton orchards
In each succeeding five-years period /"
The suggestion is along the line that
the State has already taken up in con-
nection with the Forestry Department
A small appropriation was made to the
Commissioner of Forestry for starting a
nursery for propagation of white pine.
After few years this has become so
well established that the returns to the
State Treasury from the sale of trees to
citizens is covering the cost of propaga-
ton. There is no place in Maine where
at present Maine grown apple trees can
be purchased. 1t might be advisable for
the next Legislature to give this matter
OF apple ropagation consideration.
