OFF-YEAR APPLE CROP
NOT FIXED TREE HABIT

Of-year bearing of apples is gen.
orally considered a tree habit that
cannot be changed. Growers have
commonly believed that there is no
way to strike a balance between the
big apple crop of the on-year and the
small crop of the off-year explains
r. II. Roberts of the horticultural de-
partment of the Wisconsin college of
agriculture.
Observation Of alternate bearing or
chards for five years leads Mr.. Roberts
to suggest that the habit is due large
Iy to nutritional conditions. He ad-
vances five facts to show that biennial
bearing is not a fixed habit.
/. Off-year trees have been made to
bear in succession by experimental
means.
2. The removal of the blossoms be-
fore fruit sets has resulted in success
sive blossoming.
3. The removal of the leaves has
stopped blossom bud formation.
f. Orchards of annual bearing trees
exist.
5. Following the freeze Of 1910 the
on-year changed from the even to the
Ddd numbered year.

FIFTY LEADING
BADGER FARMERS
Fred Pabst, Successful Back to
the Lander"

Many of Wisconsin's most leading
farmers are men who following in the
footsteps Of their fathers, have spent
their lives On the farm.
Many back to the landers" may be
amateurs, and may remain so, but
here and there men, who have nur-
tnred love for the open country and
Its crops and live stock throughout
their life in the city, make outright
successes on the farm With them
good sense, good observation, progress
siveness, and industry make up for
lack Of early experience.
Fred Pabst Of Waukesha county,
despite his lifelong fondness for agri-
culture in general and live stock in
particular, has not always been a
farmer. Time was when he was
Milwaukee business man and we'll
known as a yachtsman, for yachting
was one Of his Chief diversions from
business. Innumerable cups, medals,
and ribbons testify to his ability as a
sailor His father, Captain Pabst,
"a skipper on the Great Lakes, had
q farm at Wauwatosa where he bred
and imported Percheron horses and
Guernsey cattle. Here Fred Pabst
spent his Summers engaged in farm
duties. He spent his winters in
school, raising poultry, and looking for
ward to the time when he would de-
vote himself entirely to farming.
In 1905 he bought farm near Ocon-
omowoc. Before beginning his extern
sive farming operations he attended
the short course in agriculture at the
college Of agriculture in Madison.
Hackney and Percheron horses were
bred on the Pabst farms almost from
the beginning, and a herd of dairy
cattle was begun which now numbers
