One piece of work that the Askov
Garden Club arranged for in the COM
munity this summer that will likely
bear more fruit than any other work
they have done so far, is the spraying
of trees. Chris Hansen performed the
work and he sprayed over 800 trees
including fruit trees, ornamental
trees and bushes, at 40 different
places on the farms and at village
homes. Getting rid of insects that in
jure the trees will, as above stated
undoubtedly result in more fruit and
more pretty shade trees, and with good
results many more will have their
trees sprayed next year.
The Olesen Bros. carpenter crew
and Morten Christensen are combin-
ing their efforts in the construction of
a very modern and convenient COM
bination rutabaga and potato dumping
outfit at Louis Olsen's warehouse. The
one man who watches the produce go
over the sorter will have, at his finger
tips, control over considerable distant
machinery and can regulate to which
bin the potatoes or roots will eventu-
ally go, as well as return to the
wagon, after it has been emptied, any
defective produce. All dirt is auto
matically taken away from the roots
The dumping apparatus tits the wag-
on or truck so as to bring the rear
end down near the floor and thus pre-
vent injury to potatoes.
