fruit la last A year did a great deal of damage to the cites good reputation on account of the disease which marked nearly every peach shipping out inferior or diseased eased fruit is a greater loss than if the consignment had been fed to the hogs because the damage age it does to the reputation already established california and some of the fruit districts of the east experienced the same trouble as we did here from the fungus growth which is caused by the damp climate find and Is very similar to rust on grain the disease was worse in poorly pruned trees which hindered the sun light and fresh air front from circulating freely around the fruit trees should not be planted too coge c and all surplus wood should be cut off for there is nothing better for a tree and its fruit than good circulation of air and sunshine keep tile the trees til mined down and the fungus can be controlled very nicely by spraying peach mildew can be discerned on the trees even now in the little white fuzzy spots which will later turn darker in color and be almost black in the fall all lime sulphur and bordeaux mixture are the best for winter the latter being the better of the two the best time to

climate for fruit cul culture and the country is becoming planted everywhere in order to compete with the other states we have got to use the best methods one of which is the free cooling system in shipping our product to the markets as it aids the fruit grower to get his bis fruits delivered to the customer in better shape by the free cooling system is meant a car that is refrigerated fri and ventilated at the same time the hot air being taken off while the cot cold air remains to preserve the fruit inspectors have not been NN working very long in utah but the short time they have been

the trees are the kind that does not blossom and mature in the four or four and a half months between frosts in the spring and fall some their orchards for awhile then get tired and let them go right at the critical time and all is lost another thing the farmer needs is good cows cows that pay for themselves some people have the worst looking things that they call dairy cows which by rights ought to be turned into sausage it is not business to keep cows that do not pay and the great trouble with the farmer is lie he never takes an inventory to see how his accounts balance keep a record of your cows weigh the milk and test it weigh the hay and grain a cow will eat in a given time thile as an all average for the year and by that means compute her worth if she does not pay you a big profit get rid of her treat her kindly feed her well vell and she will reward you one pound of alfalfa and one halt half gallon of water ought to produce one pound of milk the dairyman by putting i an fn p n
