ApeIes-Prodvetion.
The production OF apples in the Uni
ted States in 1913. according to the
Fourteenth Census, was 13s,14s.154
bushels. as compared with 145,41Z,3ls
bushels in 1868, representing de
crease o. s,ess,1s4 bushels. or s per
cent. The average production per tree
was IL bushels In 1919. as compared
with bushel in 1903. The states re
porting the largest production Of ap-
pies in 1919 we're Washington. with

Apple Trees
The number Of trees which have
reached bearing age indicates the
present status Of any orchard fruit
The number OF such apple trees In
1920 Gncluding all trees which were
old enough to bear fruit at the time

may not have borne any fruit in 1879

ereaseof 3s.057,s11 trees. or 23.s per

One of the most significant indica-
tons OF the progress or tendency in
the growing of any orchard crop is
the number Of young trees In the or
chards which have not yet reached
bearing age. The number OF apple
trees not Of bearing age Excluding
nursery stock, not yet set out In or
chard locations) reported for 1920 was
3s,17l, s04. as compared with $751;
s4s In 1910. These figures indicate
decrease of 2s.e20,244 trees. or As per
cent. This decrease in the number OF
young trees results partly from the
fact that the years just preceding
1910 were years Of especial activity In
the planting OF orchards in several
states. Thus in most of the states OF
the Mountain Division the number o.
apple trees of bearing age has in
creased substantially. while the num-
Der OF young trees shows an enormous
decrease.
Peaches-Produetion.
The production Of peaches in 1918
was 51.551, 25l bushels, as against 3d..
470,276 bushels In 1909. The increase
in production between 1909 and 1915
amounted to 1s,0s0.s75 bushels. or
45.3 per cent. The average produc-
ton per tree in 1919 was 0.s bushel
as compared with o. bushel in 1903.
The states reporting the largest pro

Razor Strokes to Shave.

There Is a barber in London, Eng land, with a nice taste for figuring, and he has computed the number of razor strokes that go to clean shave. He offers to prove the general correctness of his count on any customer. "Eou shall keep the count yourself, sir" says he.
 The first man counted 150 strokes made by the barber. Much too low. sir" said the barber. But knowing you were counting couldn't help talk ing longer strokes. It takes more, sir, usually"
 Ills own computation is that, on an average, 1t takes 200 strokes to shave a man. Now If he slaves so many per sons day, so many days a week, how many times does the barber use his razor a week?"

Several Wcll-Financed Companies Ready to Ship in Drilling Out fits.
SEEKING ALASKA OIL POOLS
LitUya, Yakutaga, katalla and Cold Bay Among Sections to Be Drilled This Season.

Activities in the Alaska oil pools extending from Admiralty island on the south to Cold Bay on the west will start about June first, according to those most familiar with the situ- ation. IL is believed at least a half dozen drills will be in operation by early fall. and if the formation proves true to prediction several of these drills should be in oil before winter comes.
 Last week the Thane syndicate signed a contract to place a stand ard drill by June l5 on Yakutaga property. These holdings were rep resented by Attorney Foster of Cor duva. They include the old Lathrop holdings, where drilling started prior 10 the Roosevelt withdrawal order. Another crowd, headed by N. J. Sullivan, expect to have a stan dard drill operating this season.
 In the Cold bay section the Mid west Company of Wyoming has raised a quarter of a million dollar to drill the Finnegan-Hayden hold ings. This company recently pur- chased d gas-powered boat at Se- attle to be used to transport freight from Kodiak.
 The Maas holdings will be drilled by Los Angeles capital, a large sum having been pledged for this pur- pose, and adjoining the Hubbell in terests will operate a standard drill. The Hubbells are former Standard oil engineers of Des Moines, Ia., and have ample capital to carry opera toins on a large scale.
 The Thane syndicate announced some weeks ago intention of drilling with a standard rig at Katalla, where tthe Chilkat Oil company is producing about 60 barrels of high grade oil a day. The Chilkat com pauy has R standard rig at work, and recently sent an experienced drilling crew north from California.
 Lituya bay was recently located by Juneau parties who interested a group of West Virginia financiers for financial support to place a standard drill in that section.
 There has been several oil leak ages located on Admiralty island which will attract the attention of capitol.
 It is believed there will be con- siderable activity all along the Alas ka coast in an effort to tap the known oil pools during the summer months. This may develop into a genuine oil stampede late in the fall. Dispatch.
