busting Pays On
Wentworth Farm

Henry Wentworth and his son,
Royal Wentworth. members OF the
skowhegan Farm Bureau organization.
are both engaged in the commercial
orchard game. They have been espe-
cially successful due both to their
keen interest in orcharding and also
particularly because of the attention
paid to the many, small details neces-
sary for the success of commercial
orchard.
They have in all about 1000 trees,
1900 OF which are Mcintosh. Mr..
wentworth was one Of the first men
TO foresee the increased demand for
Mcintosh apples and the decline In
the Ben Davis. in which so many
Somerset county fruit growers still
believe.
During the past few years over 100
Ben Davis trees have been grated TO
Mcintosh and these seem to do espe-
cially well on the Ben Davis stock. A

three years ago. will bear few apples

e. S, Gordon il the leader. The club
has already applied for a seventh
seal and. expects to win 1t when the
national seals are awarded at lie
Kennebec county contest In Nov
ember.
The national seal of achievement
is the highest honor which any Al
club in the United States can win
and can be earned only by CLUBS
which do good team work and when
meet certain very stiff requirements
prescribed by the Secretary OF Agri-
culture.
These requirements are that the
club shall have at least five members
in the same project, local leader,
club organization with the necessary
officers, and definite program OF
work for the club year. The cluo
must hold at least twelve regular
meetings, must have demonstration
team which shall give one or more
public onstrations, must have
Judging team, and hold local con-
test or achievement day and at least
sixty per cent of the members must
complete their work and take part
in the county contest.
The Happy Hustlers have not only
met these requirements and won
seals six years in succession. but
four times every member has COM
pleted his work and the club has
been a hundred per cent club. More
than that the club has won prizes
and county championships galore.
This club was first organized in
1918 by Mrs. E. S. Gordon, who has
been local leader ever since except
in 1924, when Mrs. Deltena Barter
was leader, in 1928 when Mrs. Ches-
ter Davenport was leader. and in 1922
when Mrs. Grace Godfrey was in
charge.
Among club members who have
won championships Were: Louise
Hessmer in 1919: Annie Tuck. Ruth
Tuck, Clarine Hubbard and Geor- e
Hessmer in 1920: Clarine Hubbard.
Raymond Barter, Monnis Flage and
David Bachelor in 1871 Forest

Clarine Hubbard. Raymond Barter
and Dwinal Hubbard in 1928; Annie
Tuck. Leroy Barter and Clara Var
ney in 1924. and Clari~~ u'-',',~-.' and
Dwinal Hubbard in 1925.

veIopment Of habits OF thrift among
the bright country boys and girls
from all parts of kennebec.
The prizes are given in the form
of deposits in the bank. Each boy
or girl winning prize Is given a
brand new pass book with the
amount of the prize entered in 1t,
and members who already have acs
counts are given deposit slips for the
amounts Of their awards. The bank
uses this method so that 1t may not
only encourage thrift but teach these
young people something OF the busi-
ness of banking.
Prizes are so awarded that every
member whose work is satisfactory
and who takes part in the county
contest will get share. The size
of the individual prize Is based upon
the quality of work of the member
himself.
In the course Of his remarks while
awarding prizes at the county con-
test at Winthrop last year, MIR.
Goodwin said: During the years
1920 to 1924 inclusive the bank has
given a total of 1897 in awards.
other awards amounting to $o7 have
been deposited with the bank. The
bank has credited club members
with S24S.3S in dividends. and clun
members themselves have made ad-
ditional deposits amounting to w.
754.45. They have withdrawn 81,
All. SS. leaving a balance on deposit
on Nov. !, 1925, of $2.690.72. The
total nuI Der Of books issued previ-
Gus to- Nov. /, 1925. has been 236
of which only AZ have been closed
Ninety-two- new books will be issued
today, making $50 accounts now IN
force. When we consider that the
average age of these boys and girls
is probably under sixteen the show
ing is truly remarkable"
That club members appreciate the
interest of the Augusta Savings
Bank in their welfare Is amply dem
onstrated by the rohsing cheers witt
which Mr.. Goodwin is greeted "her
he enters the hall at the county con
test. II goes without saying that the
Farm Bureau also deeply appreci'

Savings Bank through all these

tree injured in this manner. Mr.
wentworth makes the statement that
he believes 1t to be an easy matter to
sell any product raised on the farm
and especially apples when you have
what the public demands.
I'm order to meet this demand, 1t
has been very necessary for me to
spray and dust constantly" says DIR.
Wentworth. We usually put on de-
layed dormant spray. a pre-pink spray,
pink spray. and calyx Following the
calyx, we either spray or dust about
every two weeks. In this way, we
have been able to practically control
all Fungus diseases and insect in

I'VE have for control work Niaga-
ra Buster and a 81 horsepower en-
CINE for our sprayer. We have SOLD
apples as far south as Pennsylvania
and during the last five years have
never received less than $500 barrel
for No. l Northern Spies. We have
marketed a good many of our McIn-
toshs by truck on the State road at
Hinckley. With our apples packed in
boxes and bushel baskets, there is lit
tie trouble of disposing Of truck load
on a Sunday In some instances we
have sold the whole load TO one Gus
toner"
Zone interesting incident last fall
proved the tasteful qualities of Nc

asked for couple good eating apples
We told him that the Mcintosh was
| the best to be obtained and sold him a

have taken two or three good bites,
he turned his car around, returned,

When the club was first formed its
name was Uncle Sans Thrift Club,
and it did especially good work In
war time. During tho campaign for
food conservation this club aided
very materially in creating an inter-
est In Fayette in this important
phase of war work by cooking and
serving a public dinner at the grange
hall, composed entirely Of war dishes
recommended by the Department OF
Food Conservation.
At the same time the club did a
great deal to teach not only the
members, but their parents and their
neighbors the method of canning by
the cold pack method. So proficient
have some of the members become in
this work that they have been asked
wear after year by the Maine Depart
ment of Agriculture to do canning
for the state of Maine exhibit at the
Eastern States Exposition at Spring
field.
Much of the success OF the club
has been due to the untiring efforts
of Mrs. Gordon and those who have
assisted her in the work. The club
members fully recognize this fact
and in order to show their appreci-
alton have given her a trip to the
