the last 20 years. Comparing present
conditions W iththose of 1910, he
said: "There are about a third few
er trees of bearing age now, and
there are only about half as many
young trees in orchards not of bear
ing age as there were in 1910"
This has not maused a decline in
apple production, he said. 1t has re-
suited in more concentrated produc-
ton in favored localities and on
smaller acreage. Many trees have
been replacedor top-worked with
more desirable varieties. Bearing
trees are getting better care and
more intelligent attention. The far
mer who once had a few trees that
were hardly worth the trouble" and
who marketed a few bushels of ap-
pies, many worm eaten or poorly
developed, is now more likely to
have the orchard in some other crop
and may be buying his apples. The
apple growers who are maintaining
their orchards are getting, as rule,
more fruit and better quality fruit
from their trees.

MORE AND BETTER FRUIT
FROM FEWER APPLE TREES

DR.. William A. Taylor, Chief of
the Bureau of Plant Industry in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, in a radio address recently
made certain suggestions to apple
growers, the general observance of
which he believes essential to the
well-being of the apple industry. His
suggestions were:
stabilize annual production and
improve average quality by better
culture, pruning, and pest control.
Eliminate from commercial or
chards as rapidly as practicable va
rieties of inferior quality and unat-
tractive appearance.
Refrain from planting additional
acreage, except of most desirable
varieties on sure-crop sites where
production costs are low or market
quality unusually high.
"Grade ragidly, handle carefully,
pack tight, store promptly, sell eff
fectively.
For the small-scale grower in
the more important producing dis
tricts, this last item may sound like
cooperation. That is, in fact, what
is indicated in many sections as the
best bet in apple marketing"
Doctor Taylor called attention to
developments along these lines in

HOOVER'S CORNERSTONE

When Herbert Hoover was Secre-
tary of Commerce the business of
that Department was transacted in
rather cramped rented quarters. The
Department flourished like a green
bay tree under Hoover. AS President
he has been called upon to lay the
cornerstone for the new Commerce
building, and it will be the largest
department building in Washington.
President Hoover's trowel was the
same one that was used by George
Washington in laying the corner
stone for the Capitol of September
18, 1898.
Notwithstanding the exalted sta
tion now occupied by Herbert Hoo
yer he is likely to always look back
upon the days when he was Secre-
tary of Commerce and building his
career as national leader.

Livestock Committee
Purchases IL Sires

R. T. Greer, Arlie Brown, Scott
Swift and Harrison Baker, members
of the Watauga Livestock Associa-
tion's stock-purchasing committee,
returned Thursday from Chilhowie,
Va, where they purchased eleven
purebred Hereford bulls. These gen
tlemen say these are the finest and
best bred bulls ever brought to Wa
tauga County. All of these animals
have been placed.
1t is expected that this first ship
ment will be shown on the streets of
Boone sometime during the holidays.
This lot of sires does not anything
like supply the demand and sometime
after the first of the year the COM
mittee will return to Southwest Vir-
ginia to select another shipment.
The interest in purebred livestock
development for Watauga continues
to grow. All of the leading farmers,
as well as the business men, are in
tenselv interested in the movement
and are heartily backing the asso-
citation in its work.
