The Bethel and Rlehardeon apple orchard on the Goshen road nearly halt pruned before tin flake of snow .fall last week. It work keeps up in this orchard at the present rate, the entire orchard will pruned before the end of Decemt The aeaeon tor pruning; is on now. Why not do some at it instead waiting until spring, when all kli of farm duties are urgent? aa. Vanaman, of Dias Creek, a pruning demonstration last Saturday in his eight year old peach orchard at Dlaa Creek. On the same day Millard Howell, of Dlaa Creek, held a similar rtratlon in his three year old peach orchard. . W. L. Terkes, of Tuekahoe, also held pruning demonstrations in his apple and peach orchards on December tth. All these demonstrations were well attended by interested fruit growers wbo took active part in the pruning

work.

A. F/Mason, Fruit Specialist from the SUte Experiment Station, was present to show the latest pruning

E. Powell, from Cape May Court House; Norman Taylor, J. C. Elliott, Lewis Hoffman and Richard Reeves, of Cold Spring; John Wilhelm, of Ocean View, and Frank Swain, of Bwalntoa, In the County class for beet J5 applee grown In Cape May County, J. C. ElUott won drat place on ha Wlneeape and Dr. Julius Way woo secant on Stsymen Wlneeape. Frank Swain took first on hU pUte of Ben DavU apples and Bethel and Richardaon v -n second on McIntosh applee. These last two mentioned varieties were competing with apples grown In all parts of the State, but were not competing In the same class. One of the Interesting developments of the New Jersey Experiment Station Fruit Department a that of finding a substitute for that awful stuff, Self-boiled Lime-sulfur. The new mixture can even success fully take the place of the dilute summer strength lime-sulfur solution (1 to fid), which a used on apples. The material Is sulfur, !• pounds, hydratod lime 8 pounds, and calcium casein 1 pound. All are mixed thoroughly dry and then added to 100 gallons of water in the spray tank whila the Agitator a running, mixture gave a better control on acab of peach and apple than did the regular self-boiled lime-sulfur oe peaches and the (1 to 60) concentrated lime-sulfur solution on apples. Every fruit grower seeing the results heaved a sigh of relief. Pou'tiy Hotes W. S. Thompeon, of Ooshen. practices what he preaches. about feeding wheat In the straw to his laying hens. He stacks wbsat near lbs lay ing house and allows ths birds access to It during tbs summer months The exercise and grain serve to streagthen ths birds' agg laying capacity. In order to Insure another summar's supply. Mr. Thompson has planted five scree of wheat. This Is a practice that would be well worth consideration for other poultrymen. Four automobllea. filled with sothualastlc poultrymen and women, tourneyed to Vineland last Saturday to sea the Vineland Poultry Show and to visit up-to-date poultry farms. The first poultry farm visited was that of Elmer Wene. who with two helpers, carss for 6000 8. C. W. Leghorns and two iucubators having a capacity of 10,000 eggs. The next visit was tbs Intarnatlonal Egg Laylag Contest, whsre were seen the birds of A B. Fauye. of Belleplain. During tbs flrul week of the contest last Novembsr, these birds held tjlgheet place. They are doing nicely now and It Is hoped that by the end of the yaar theae birds will outclass all others there from other parts of ths United Stetae. , From a meat standpoint, the Jersey Black Giant la now vary much In the foreground, so It was thought advisable to visit the Luces Farm.
