Maine Apple Crop
Estimated Larger
THAN Last Years

Names crop of first grade apples
this fall will be rs per cent larger
than last year, according to the esti-
mate of State Horticulturist G.. A.
Yeaton. The apples are now coloring
up well, and have had good growth
lately, Mr.. Yeaton reports. In the
past two weeks they have grown
faster than at any time during the
season. The crop is looking nicely
in the orchards that were sprayed.
One reason for the larger crop this
year is that more of the farmers
have sprayed their orchards than last
year.
Inquiries from out Of the State re-
garding cider apples have been re-
ceived at the Department of Agricul-
ture. In-answer to these, the Depart
ment has stated that the Maine far
mers are not yet ready to set their
price on this seasons crop.
While in Camden last Friday MAX
ing an inspection of nursery stock,
Mr.. Ycaton conferred with an enter
prising man who is doing a fine
business in growing flowers and SELL
ing to the auto trade. The flowers
are ANIMALS of all kinds, especially
the bright and snowy varieties in
Guiding gladiolas, asters and sweet
peas. This man was making more
profit from these flowers than from
any crop that could be grown in the
same area.
For the growing of the sweet peas.
this farmer prepares his plot of land

trench and filling it with manure. AS

he plants the seeds. AS he mows
the lawn. he mulches the sweet pea
vines with the clippings from the
lawn. Twice week he gives them
an application of nitrate of soda, pre-
pared by dissolving a table spoon
full in two gallons of water. This
gives the sweet peas brilliant color

the change to the marvellous effects
