ESSENTIAL TO GRADE APPLES
More Efficient System Necessary to
Create Confidence Between Buy.
ers and Sellers.

The cornerstone upon which rests
the successful distribution of the ap-
pie crop, which In 1919 reached some
100000 bushels, is grading. Were 1t
not for a more or less uniform system
Of grading, which even now in many
instances is defined only by the gen.
eral term "trade practice" the mar
keting of this great crop would be
such complicated problem that 1t
unquestlonably would be accompanied
by uncertainty and losses that would
ruin the business, say marketing spe-
cialists of the bureau of markets, Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
But even more efficient grading
practices are necessary to create con-
fidence between sellers and buyers
and to eliminate waste. According to
these experts the chief difficulties with
present state grading laws are their
dissimilarity and disregard Of market
practices. Three essentials to the
successful standardization of apples
and other farm products are cited:
/. There must be decided public sem
timent In favor of grading regulations.
2. The law should conform with good
commercial practice.
8. There should be proper inspec-
ton of shipments at both shipping
point and destination.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS
Most Towns Recognize Imperative
Need Of Improved Highways to
Secure Farm Trade.

The country town that has poor
roads radiating from 1t is badly handi-
capped, just as the farmer is who has
to haul his products over such roads.
Most towns recognize this and try to
get their share of trade by making the
main thoroughfares navigable at all
times with toIerable loads The town
that does not see the Importance of
good roads and the imperative need of
making them passable to ordinary
traffic has need of the jolt that Is not
generally ,long delayed.
We sometimes hear the expression,
"a poor trading place." and instantly
we know the meaning of it. We at
once know It refers to town that has
fallen into a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep
and we are safe In assuming that such
a town lacks wideawake merchants
and the other necessary adjunct-good
roads.
When a farmer sells anything,
whether IT be his weekly batch of
produce or a load of hogs or one of
wheat or corn he naturally considers
the difficulties of the haul. Other
things being equal, he chooses the
road with least hills; and If the road
of least resistance has well graded
and dragged highways, the town that
is handicapped with steep pulls and
poorly graded highways always is a
loser. 1t cannot be otherwise.
A cornbelt town exists, primarily,
by reason of the farm trade. When
this reaches a volume that lines the
streets with farm teams any good day
except the busiest times of the year.
we can be reasonably certain that the
merchants and roads are both attrac-
tive. And the opposite can be inferred
when the streets are bare of farm
teams and cars.
Most towns recognize the value of
good roads as trade getters. Some
times the topography of the country
makes good roads and gentle grades
difficult, When this Is the case, more
money is expended to get results. And

or velvet bean. The velvet bean is es-
pecially adapted to the well-drained
portions of the Atlantic and gulf
coastal plain areas, while the cowpea
can> be grown successfully not only
there. but throughout the cotton belt
and the lower half of the corn belt.
The velvet bean and cowpea are quite
sensitive to cold, whereas the soy bean
withstands considerable frost In
spring and fall. Cowpeas and velvet
beans both succeed on poor soils bet
ter than the soy bean. For soil i'm
provenfent the velvet bean is, in gen.
eral. superior to either the cowpea
or the soy bean, although the cowpea
succeeds under greater diversity of
conditions.
The soy bean Is to be preferred for
forage purposes on account of its up
right growth. The cowpea and velvet
bean are why plants and therefore
more difficult to harvest and cure.
As grazing crop for cattle and
hogs In fall and winter the velvet bean
cannot be excelled. However. the cow
pea and soy bean can be grown over
more extended area. and some of
their numerous varieties furnish
earlier pasture.
For the production of seed, the soy
bean has many advantages over the
cowpea and velvet bean. The soy
bean natures all its seed at one time
and can easily be handled by machin-
cry. Hand picking is most commonly
practiced in gathering cowpea seed.
although machinery can be used to
advantage. 1t is necessary TO pick
velvet beans by hand because of the
abundant, tangled mass of vines.
The seeds of velvet beans. cowpeas,
and soy beans are all excellent feed
for cattle and hogs. Cowpea seed,
however, is rarely cheap enough for
feed. but 1t is extensively used, espe-
cially In the Southern states, for hui
man food. Soy-bean seed, in addition
to its value for feed, is valuable for
the production of oil and meal, and its
use for human food is increasing.
The cowpea will undoubtedly con-
tinue TO be one of the most Important
leguminous crops In the Southern
states. No other crop sewn under
such diversity of conditions or re-
ceiving so little attention in soil prep
aration and cultivation succeeds so
well. Under the most varied condi-
tons forage, soil Improvement and hu-
man food are obtained.

SEEDING GROWTH is
RETARDED BY BRUSH
Close Spacing Desirable to Pro-
duce Best Timber.
When Tops Of Trees Begin to Inter-
minele and Crowd Each Other
Some Of Them Should Be Cut
Out for Best Results.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
When cut-over land Is planted in
hardwood seedlings, 1t may happen
that a natural bushy growth will for
a few years outgrow the planted trees,
overtop them or crowd them, and thus
interfere seriously with their develop
ment. To insure the proper develop
ment OF the seedlings, forest special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture say in Farmers Bulle-
tin 1923, Growing and Planting
Hardwood Seedlings on the Farm" it
Is necessary to cut down the brush
for two or three years. When old
trees with wide-spreading crowns
threaten to shade the seedlings so
they will not develop properly, the
bulletin suggests that such trees be
cut out few years after the new
planting has been started.
To produce clean-bodied timber,
close spacing is desirable. When the
tops of the trees begin to intermingle
and crowd each other, however, they
become like overcrowded vegetables in
a garden. Growth is stagnated. A
good gardener will pull some of the
vegetables in garden that have
reached this condition. When trees
have reached similar stage, some of
them should be cut out. In both cases
the result Is the best development of
the remaining part rather than poor
development of the original number.
The best formed and most healthy
trees should be permitted to remain.
and the others that are likely to inter-
fere with their growth should be re-
moved.
Trimmings are usually necessary
when a plantation becomes twenty
years old, sometimes sooner. The
openings In the crown-cover of the
stand made by removing trees should
not be too large to prevent the growth
of the remaining tree tops from COW
ering the gaps in from three to five
years. When poles are cut for farm
use, crude form Of thinning may be
accomplished by care In the selection
of trees with view to the improve
ment of the stand.
Pruning Of tree branches is usually
unnecessary, and. because Of the cest
Of labor, undesirable. If tree is
pruned too far up 1t may become top
heavy and easily broken by severe
winds. The catalpa, ash and black
cherry are known to have suffered
from this, and it seems likely the same
is true of many other species. If, be-
cause of wide spacing, pruning is nee
essary, II should be conducted in late
winter or early spring, and should not
be overdone.

manner shown. A small staple driven
into each stick, over the wire, holds
them in place. Attach short wires
from the wire encircling the tree to
the outer wire, taking care that the
tree is In the center of the ring formed
by the sticks. The sticks about the
tree trunk should not be drawn up so
tightly as to construct the growth of
the tree, but sufficient space should be
allowed for It's free growth, and as
soon as this space has been occupied.
the inner ring should be loosened.-

the cornbelt farmer is just as dis
eliminating now that the automobile
Is common on the farm. In fact he is
more so. The matter of few miles
extra travel is not of great moment.
AS the car comes to be more and
more the medium of that daily COM
merce between the farm and town, the
Importance OF good roads comes to be
more clearly seen. The town has rec
ognized ii. In order to hold this in
creasing but vital trade the town must
bid in terms of fair bargains and good
roads--and not least In smooth, aIlur-
ing highways where few Instructions
to fair speed are encountered.
Where the farmer buys bis daily or
weekly supplies he generally buys his
larger items of machinery and farm
equipment. 1t Is up to the town that
desires TO live to recognize the prob
lem of the good road. To ignore 1t is
to destroy the town. The farmer does
not travel the bad read except under
compulsion.

CowpeaS, velvet beans and soy beans

uses of each on the farm. Among the
important points that determine the
value of leguminous crop are its
value for forage, both in quantity and

ability to supply additional nitrogen;
and the value of the seed as cash

Many fruit growers do not realize
the importance Of feeding their trees.
Every pound Of fruit sold from the
land removes just that much plant
food from it. Sooner or later the
yield must decline If this practice is
continued without some of the ele-
ments of which the soil is being ex-
hausted being returned. A thorough
study Of his soil will pay many a
grower who is not now getting the re-
