Apple Varieties PuzzIe

This is the season of the year when growers are wanting to know the va- rieties of their unknowns. Some of these unknowns are on old trees, and are frequently local varieties which no one knows the name of. The Farmers Association will be glad to forward samples for identification to Prof. C. P. Close of Washington, a government pomologist who is an ex- pert on naming varieties.
 Growers are requested, when send ing in samples. to the Farmers Asso- citation, to send in two or three of each apple. with brief description of hab- it's and growth on the tree. This is oftentimes very helpful.
 It takes from ten days to three weeks to get reply back at this sea son of the year. because of the large amount of work being done by Prof. Close.

Non-Layers Are Doomed

The poultry culling demonstrations that have been held in various towns in the county showed that there is still much interest in poultry in Wind ham County. The prices that poul- trymen have been receiving for the last two years has made it worth while for those already in the busi- ness to remain in business, and for those starting in to greatly enlarge their plants. Although it is probably true that we still have many vacant poultry houses, we have some plants that are greatly enlarged in their ca pacity.
 The interest at the various eulling demonstrations is exceedingly keen. There are some floeks in the county where it is exceedingly hard to find a poor hen.
