MOVED FROM FRUIT

The Apple Growers Association has
issued bulletin to its members, warn
ing them that all apples must be care
fully wiped this season all traces of
spray accumulation being removed in
the process. The bulletin follows:
"The United States Bureau of
Chemistry will be more active this
season than ever before in condemning
apples that have an excessive amount
of spray deposit on them. Apples that
have blotches of spray on their surface
will be rejected by the Association"
Visiting around packing houses dur
ing apple harvest will be taboo this
year. The organization has instructed

rule. The Association has appointed
its inspection force as follows: M. II.

Canadian Apple Prospects

The present prospects are that Nova
Scotia will have commercial crop
about 10 per cent in excess of last
year, while New Brunswick expects
about go per cent; Quebec not more
than 35 to 40 per cent, and Ontario
about 60 per cent Of 1920. In British
Columbia the prospects are for crop
approximately twice that of last year,
although the very dry weather which
has prevailed for some time may lower
this estimate.
In England the long spell OF unusu-
ally hot weather has seriously affected
the crOD.

 Mir. Cottrell suggests that Arkansas farmers should consider this crop for planting on land where corn or cotton has failed to come up, where oats have been harvested or where no crop has been planted He says that this variety of corn will make crop of planted in June anywhere in the cotton belt.
 Representative J. R. Alexander of Scott has grown this corn for years, V says MT. COttrell. "He says that the lowest yield he ever has produced has been 40 bushels to the acre and he has produced as high as 70 bushel. This is on rich river bottom land, but J. A. Weaver of Lonoke on his upland farm has averaged 90 bushels to tn eacre.
 However, both these men put more work in their land in preparing it for planting than most farmers put on their whole crop. That is the secret of their success. Both blow deeply, then work the ground with disc or smoothing harrow until the ground is as mellow as garden Then they plant their corn They cultivate it every week or 10 days from the time the corn appears above ground.
