PtaUn MMi Chicago, During the week 18, there will be h^ki the Harrison hotel, the great MjrjStfc show, the tiensive eaftfbit ever mide of Illinois apples. This shotf is promoted by the Illinois State Horttttiltural so­ ciety and is held under the auspices of the State Council of Defense. I desire to call the attention of our people to the importance of this ex­ hibition. I have advocated this fofl, years. Illinois is one of the great apple producing states in the union and yet our other'industries have so overshadowed the apple industry that our people generally are sur­ prised to learn that Illinois apples a|re' unsurpassed. While we are one of the leading states in apple culture, it is estimated that not twenty per cent of our acreage in apple trees receive any intelligent attention. The state is dotted all over with apple orchards, that go unpruned, that are not sprayed, that, therefore, are practic­ ally valueless, and which could he made a profitable feature of the farm. In some of the older states, similar neglected orchards have been brought up by enterprising and practical men, and made a great success. The time has come in Illinois when the thous­ ands upon thousands of acres in un- producing orchards should be re­ claimed and made to pay their way. Particularly at this time is it cul­ pably careless to neglect this source of supply of wholesome food. If the orchards of ^Illinois were properly cared for their production would take the place of tons of food which could be sent to our soldiers and our allies. A special feature of the great show to be held in Chicago will be demon­ strations of how to properly care for orchards, and no farmer in Illinois who owns an orchard can afford to remain away. If the money which has gone out of the state and been lost in orchard investments elsewhere, had beat invested at home, in Illinois orchards, the investors would have realized handsome profits and Illinois would have vastly increased its apple output. I regard this first great apple show as one of the most notable and valu­ able efforts for conservation of the year. Frank O. Lowden. WW COUNTY LACKS $300,000 Of Making Quota on War Stamps Savings McHenry county has gone over the top without fail in every liberty loan drive and in all war fund campaigns, but she has failed so far to sub­ scribe her quota of war savings stamps. Eleven months of the year's campaign are gone. With but one month remaining there is still a total of $300,000.00 to be reached before this county shall re­ trieve her position as sixty-ninth on the list of Illinois counties and go on the honor list as "over the top." The quota for McHenry county for the year, which closes December 31, is $700,000.00, or at the rate of $20.00 investment for each man, woman and child. A. M. Shelton, county chairmaii of the sales of war savings stamps, stated yesterday to a representative of The Plaindealer that but $283^894 had been sold in ourv county up to November 1. "We sold, during the month of October,' he said, "$28,859 worth of stamps. During this final remaining month we must sell $300,000.00 worth of war savings stamps if McHenry county is to ar­ rive at the peak along with the other honor counties of Illinois. "The school children have thruout the year. Our teachers have been wonderful boosters. The time has arrived for everybody to get into the game to buy their quota, 'plus stamps,' and to render valuable as­ sistance to these school teachers and local chairman, who have labored thruout the year. "Our county subscriptions average less than $9.00 per capita to date. It must be nothing less ths? 100 pe* cent. $20.00 for each. Several coun­ ties have gone over the top this month. Sixty-eight other counties in Illinois are nearer the top than we are. Our position--nearer the bot­ tom than the top--to say the least is not enviable. "Let us all pull together--pull Mc­ Henry county to victory.""
