Vinegar and apple evaporation plants in northwest Arkansas are idle this year due to the total failure of the crop. This is the first time in the history of Arkansas that total failure has been experienced, but horticulturists insist that it is bene- ficial as the trees are strengthened by season of no fruit and that unless weather conditions are unfavorable, the 1922 crop will be greater than ever. The apple crop means about $8,000,000 annually to Washington and Benton counties and should such loss come to any other section of the state it would mean almost fnan- cisl ruin, but Washington and Benton counties are exceptions as they do not depend upon one crop for pros perity. Government statistics show that these counties are today receiv- ing as much income from chickens, eggs and livestock as apples bring when they are at their highest Dairying is leading industry in Washington and Benton counties and in the Siloam Springs district it has reached enormous proportions. An express car loaded to the maximum with cream leaves that shipping point each day. The return from a car of cream is by far greater than for sev- eral cars of apples.

Polk C0untD Agricultural
 Notes
rs4 C. W. BRONl.ES
 Farm Demonsitator

Only very few orchardists in rare ly favored localities expect fruit crop every ear without variation. By far the principal part of Americas fruit crop is produced in sections where the frosts or freezes kill the buds periodically with more or less raoularitv. In view of these facts the orchardists of Polk county should not feel discouraged because for two seasons the crop has been destroyed by the frosts. especially since the oldest citizens of the county state. 1t is the first time in their knolwedge that such a condition has prevailed.
 The Qravest danger that is threat oning the 1922 fruit crop of Polk county at this time is not the menace of frost, but it is that of neglect. There is serious danger that because of the Encouragement caused by the loss of two crops in succession many of our farmers may neglect to prop erly prune, spray and care for then trees during the fall and winter so that they will enter the coming fruit ing season in poor condition and with vitality lowered. This would prove disastrous. During period of de- creased business q manufacturer would spend his time using the oppor- tunity for overhauling his machinery and reorganizing his business so as to be able to increase his output when the revival of business comes for which he is waiting. Likewise sue cessful orchardists in the main fruit belts spend an off year in grooming their trees and preparing for the crop that is to come.
 It may interest those farmers IT the various communities turnout the county, who have been planning tC establish a demonstration orchard 1T cooperation with the county agri cultural agent, to know that in q let ter recently received by the agen from c. Woolsey, extension horticul turalist, he states that three differen nurseries have agreed to furnish th' entire home orchard listed below fol $24 Mir. Woolsey's letter states "They will also furnish any part O it at the same rate, that is if a farm CT only wants apples he could pur chase the trees for $4, peaches $1.4C
 cherries $3.50, plums $3.50, grape | $1.80, black raspberries $2, red rasp berries $2.50, blackberries $6 am
 strawberries $2.
 We are planning to take over
 number of these new home orchard
 n each county as demonstration plots
 We will keep the records, do tn
 pruning and spraying, and make pho tographs, etc. If you possibly ca try to get number of men selecte , on good roads that will make hom orchard demonstrations, either wit
