Continued dry weather has caused
the crop of summer apples to shrink
as much as so and so per cent in some
localities, and it is thought by many
growers that fall varieties will not
grow to normal sizes for the same
reason. One grower in nearby
county who had every reason to ex-
pect a crop of 10000 bushels of sum-
mer commercial varieties has been
unable to gather more than 1000
bushels of marketable fruit.

date for the state legislature, ad
dressed the meeting and presented
a table of statistical data which he

similar costs in certain selected
counties which It was believed were

said it was not a fair basis for com
parison.
Mr.. Jesse. another candidate who
was present, was proffered a portion
Of his time by Mr.. Reid. but de-
clined to speak.

CLUBS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Shown Which Enabled Young
People to Succeed.

Teams of young Iowa farmers and
future home makers gave demonstra-

fair at Sioux City, Iowa, last Septem.
Der. Through the cooperation Of the
extension services Of 12 participating
states, the fair association, and the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, not only were club products ex-
hibited, but representative teams
showed the methods which had en-
abled Them to succeed In winning the
highest ranks among the 10000 club
members In all the North Central
states participating.
They demonstrated butter and
cheese making, caring for milk, max
ing milk drinks; steps in successful
poultry raising; baking bread; can
ming fruit and vegetables; making
clothing carefully showing each step
Of these various processes. The IL
booths illustrated II lines Of club
work-corn, poultry. pigs. potatoes,
sheep, dairying, canning, home ar
rangement and decoration, bread, food,
