APPLE TREES.

The first carload of apple trees ordered
by the orchardsts of Waldo county,
through the Farm Bureau community
orchard project leaders, reached Befaat
last week. o. w. Ripley of West Ap-
pleton, county orchard project leader,
had general charge of the canvass, and
he was assisted in each community by
the local chairman or project leader,
Waldo figures prominently in the State
wide plan for speeding up Names inter-
est in apple production. The Farm Bu-
reau, the College of Agriculture, the
Maine Department of Agriculture and the
Maine Fruit Growers Exchange COM
bined in carrying through the plan. The
county agents gave valuable assistance
in interesting the public in the PROPOSE
ton; Farm Bureau project leaders solic-
tied the orders; the purchases were made
at wholesale prices through the Maine
Fruit Growers Exchange; the Maine De-
partment of Agriculture sent represen-
tative to the nurseries to inspect the
stock before shipment, to make sure 1t
was free from disease and true to types;
the College of Agriculture, through its
extension service, is supplying purchas-
ers with bulletins giving instruction re-
earding location, planting and care of
young orchards.
Waldo farmers orders of these trees
totalled H. AGO, divided as to varieties as
follows: Williams Favorite, TAI;
Wealthy, TIA; Gravenstein, AIS; McIn-
tosh, 3SO9; Nothern Spy, 1921; Wolf niv-
er, 1908; Baldwin, 1856; Rhode Island
Greening, 81. In some instances the
nurseries were unable to supply all that
were ordered, the Maine demand far ex-
ceeding expectations. In cases where
certain varieties fell short, other varie
ties were substituted, if that was thu
wish of the purchasers; otherwise, thu
orders will be carried over until 1928
Quite number of farmers here are nov
placing orders for next year, when a sim.
liar plan of purchase and supply will bt
followed
