In deciding what' is to be done the following factors need to be considered: The orchard must be on a good site with no rock ledges or hardpan near the surface, well drained and without unusual danger from frosts; the trees must have good vitality, without decayed trunks, cankers that girdle the limbs, or weakness that would make good growth impossible; and, finally, the varieties must be good unless It is practicable to top-graft the trees. i A neglected orchard Is always a I menace to other orchards in the neighonight DO YOU SUFFER ANPOCD T*« mr Invitation •III!

In some states a neglected orchard Is practically declared by law to be a public nuisance and is treated accordingly. If the owner will not clean It up, public officials do it and the expense becomes a lien on the property until paid. As a rule, says the author of the bulletin, a much-neglected orchard does not Justify its existence. If an orchard Is worth keeping it is worth giving good attention; otherwise, the trees merely encumber the ground and interfere with its use for other purposes. If an apple tree is not of value for fruit production it may be worth converting into tool handles, plane blocks, and other useful things. needed in practically any orchard that is being brought back Into producing condition. Just what is to be done depends on the age and vigor of the trees, the condition of the soil and other local factors. Various conditions and the necessary treatment are discussed in the bulletin, and the tools and other equipment are described. When trees are otherwise good, but the varieties are not desirable. It sometimes pays to top-graft the tress. This work is not difficult, but must be done carefully. As a rule the deft method of grafting Is best suited to old apple orchards. Details of this method are to be found in Farmers' Bulletin 157, The Propagation of Plants. The time to do the work Is in the spring Just before growth starts or Just as it Is starting. The scions, however, must be perfectly dormant. firman Wanted Wife Who Could Mathematics With Precision., , PROBLEM UP TO Man Needed an Adding Machine 8ff He Got Married and Then Found i?f'^;-f|4is Spouse Was NetMiif but Housekeeper, New York.--And now its the ma the matical marriage In which a wife is pictured as the least commou denominator, with emphasis ou the least.

She cannot be trusted even with a half dollar, because she does not know how much to pay the huckster and how much change, If any, she should receive.

After the garden crops are harvested It often pays to rake up the old stalks and burn them. This may destroy insect pests and fungous spores which would cause losses next year. If any weeds have developed seeds they can also be burned. The term "wireworm" is applied to numerous forms of elongated wirelike creatures, the larvae of snapping or click beetles and the wj»ny» was given to them on account of their firm texture, which Is much different from that of most Insect larvae. It Is a well-known fact that the lady-bird beetles are very beneficial, and this is proven in many ways. One scientist records where these Insects have eaten 50 to 60 aphis in a single day and there are several records where they have eaten a bundled In the same length of time.

To determine this requires a knowledge of how feeds are gold by mills, market conditions, quality of the product and methods of _ atmr aays G. C. W heeler, investigator In marketing feed. United States Department of Agriculture. Although feed stuffs constitute the «econd largest item of expense to American farmers, wheat feeds alone in 1920 representing a value of approximately $200,000,000* little Is known by the average buyer about the marketing of this commodity, lays Mr Wheeler. The availability of feed stuffs local 1}' produced which may be used « substitutes, and potential supplies and production in surplus producing aections are said to be the most Important factors controlling local feed prices. Wide variations In prices In beavy consuming and producing centers, and la sections where only moderate supplies are handled are attributed to the prices paid by Individual dealers, 'unsold feed in transit which la frequently disposed of at a sacrifice on arrival, grade, quality, whether the Xggd is bought for cash or credit, alflPwhether the purchase Is for immediate or future delivery. Mr. Wheeler advises buyers to ascertain carefully all these facts In connection with prices quoted before placing orders. Mr. Wheeler made a careful study of the marketing of mill feeds and his findings are contained In United States Department of Agriculture Bulletin 1124, entitled "The Marketing of Mill Feeds." The bulletin tells how feeds are sold by mills, handled by co-operative societies, how to study market conditions, what to ascertain about prices quoted, and present needs of the trade. Trade rules, grades and feed stuffs laws are also discussed.
