WILL PLANT loco 4
IN APPLES NEAR KEi syILLE

An application for 100000
charter for the Lone PinN Orchard
incorporation, domiciled at rrville,
was filed here Tuesday, them ans of
the company embracing So Jeme to
consolidate a number of large tracts
of land in the vicinity of Kerrville
for the raising of apples on an ex-
tensive scale, states the Memphis
C numerical Appeal of December %.
While j. G. Burke, T X. Riddick,
F. D. Fuller and c. e. Heckle. Of
Memphis, are named as four of the
incOrporators, it was said that the
business will be owned principally by
Dr. W. NJ Bigham, Of Kerrville. and
his son, W. M. Bigham, Jr., who will
assume active management.
1t is the plan of the company to
grow variety of apples that mature
in the opening summer months in
order that the fruit may be marketed
for the early trade Dr. Bigham has
been engaged in the apple orchard
business on a small scale for num-
Ter of years and it was said that his
big success in the business led him
into efforts to expand his farm
through the cons lidation Of several
adjacent tracts. Approximately 1000
acres in apples will be planted inn
mediatelv.
In discussing the project one of the
incOrp rators said that there is every
prospect for the orchard 70 develop
into one of the most profitable en-
terprises of its kind in this section
of the state. He stated that DR.. Bio
ham, through experience, has found
that the early summer variety of an
nles can be marketed more readily
than any other variety and also at
greater profit,
There has been an annual shortage
If early fruit in all sections Of the
United States and experience has
proved that the early apple can be,
grown in West Tennessee with
marked success, it was stated. The
new enterprise will have the advan-
tage of an experienced fruit grower
as manager, for it was said that DR..
Bigham is the peer Of all fruit men
in this section.
Although his present orchard at
Kerrville is small compared with
some of the apple farms in the South,
he has succeeded in demonstrating
that this class of fruit can be most
profitably grown in this immediate
section Of the state. DR., Bigham has
realized handsome profits from his
business in recent years, where others
have been forced to abandon similar
enterprises because of their lack of
experience.

NEWS SERVICE SAVED
PEAR GROWERS MONEY
Colorado Banker Estimates
Amount at $1,000.
On Request of Mesa County Farm Bu-
reau Special Report Was Given on
Conditions at Various Markets
Throughout Country.

Eleven thousand dollars is the
amount that a Colorado banker esti-
mates was saved the Mesa county
pear growers last year through the
service rendered by field representa-
tives of the bureau of markets, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Shortly before the harvesting Of the
pear crop the field agent of the bu-
reau of markets was requested by the
Mesa county fam bureau for special
report on market conditions through
out the United States regarding pears.
This included the estimated crop
shipped from the earlier pear-prOduc-
ing sections of the West for the 1919
season and for previous years, and the
prevailing market prices in these pro-
ducing centers and at terminal mar
kets.
The report was published in full in
both of the Grand Junction daily
newspapers, which reach approximate
" 90 per cent Of the pear producers
In that section. The pear growers
were equipped with information that
enabled them to market their crop for
$1,000 more than they would have re-
ceived otherwise.

FEDERAL STANDARDS
ENCOURAGE EQUALITY
MISUNDERSTANDING as to Bene-
fits Are Cleared Up.
With Passing of Misrepresentation In
creasing Sentiment Is Being Mani
tested in Favor of Purchase
and Sale by Grade.

misunderstanding as to the applica-
ton of the federal grain standards
and as to the benefits to be derived
from the sale of grain upon a grade
basis have been the cause of cOnSid-
cradle dissatisfaction among prOduc-
ers and country elevator operators,
but with the passing of these misap-
prehensions an ever-increasing septi-
ment is being manifested in favor OF
the purchase and sale by grade at
country points.
The old system of basing the price
at which wheat or other grain was
bought from the farmer upon the aver
age quality Of the crop in any com
munity or section was totally unfair
to the producer of good grain. Under
the ''mine-run" basis of purchasing
grain the producer of good grain re-
ceiyed no more for his clean, heavy
wheat than did the producer of light
weight and otherwise inferior grain.
Instead of a premium upon heavy
grain, a premium was paid upon in
ferior products.
The application of federal grain
standards is calculated to prevent such
inequality, and as experience is being
had under the grading system growers
are finding that the purpose sought is
being accomplished.

NATURE TELLS YOU

AS many Mineral Point reader

When the kidneys are weak, Ma

lions, and several applications at ten
day intervals are needed to destroy at
the mites.
When poultry are to be transferred
to new quarters 1t is desirable that
they be kept three days and nights in
pen so that the mites will leave them
before their Introduction into the new
building. The roosts in the new build
ing and in the quarantine cage should
be treated in order that any mites
which have left the fowls may be de-
stroyed.
Lice as rule do not have the habit
of hiding in cracks, but occasionally
they are found in the buildings as well
as on the fowls. The cleanup for
mites will also eradicate the lice found
in the building. For killing lice on
fowls, in experiments carried on by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, nothing proved so effective
as sodium fluorid. All the fowls should
be we'll busted with it before they are
put into the clean quarters. Flowers
Of sulphur applied ia dust form was
also found to be effective.
