which this enormous waste of the

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Within recent years several fruit
shipping organizations have adopted
system of sampling apples by weight
in determining grades and sizes of ap-
Plies packed for each grower. With a
view to organizing accounting records
so that all unnecessary clerical work
may be eliminated, the United States
Department of Agriculture has de-
vised new forms of accounting, which
are now published in Department Bull
'etin 1905, Accounting Records for
Sampling Apples by Weight.
The aim of sampling apples by
weight Is to speed up the movement
Of the fruit through the packing room,
and to avoid the expense of repiling
and checking which frequently arises
In attempting to retain the identity of
each growers lot of loose fruit on the
packing house floor. A sample is Sc
lected from each lot of fruit received.
This is graded and sized, and record
made of the weight of each grade and
size in the sample. The percentage
relation Of the total weight of the
sample to the total weight of the lot
Is then applied to ascertain the weight
Of the various grades and sizes that
make up the lot, and the grower Is
given credit for the total weight, class
flied as to grades and sizes.
The new forms devised by the de-
partment reduce the clerical work of
the sample-test clerk to minimum, pro-
viding computation tables showing at
glance the relation between the vari-
Gus features of the sample and those
of the entire lot. Copies of the hull

SPRAYING FOR GOOD APPLES
Absolutely Necessary for Select Fruit
Pruning Means Cutting Out
Small Limbs

Most of the home orchards need
pruning and they need spraying, but
they need spraying lots the worst.
You can raise apples without pruning,
but you can't raise good apples with

than there is bearing surface and the
fellow who gouges out big limbs is the
fellow who greatly reduces the apple
crop. Good pruning does not always
mean big brush pile; it more fire.
quently means cutting off small limbs
here and there that compete for sun
light. Pruning will make more large
apples.
