Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH Apple Trees Are Cut by Millions vp pa 1909 to 1913 produced annually about 10,000,000 bushels. Their average annual production in the years 1924 to 1928 was more than 54,000,-00- 0 bushels. In recent years apple production in the western states has been fairly well stabilized, though many of the trees there have not reached their full bearing capacity. It seems certain that heavy Increases in production in this region will not recur in the immediate future. in Favorable Sections of Country by tVo Urttod states Department of Agriculture.) In twelve of the last fifteen years the average farm price of apples has been below the general prewar wholesale price level of all commodities. As the result, millions of apple trees have been removed and others have been neglected. From 1910 to 1925 the number of apple trees in the United States decreased nearly 40 per cent. Notwithstanding the decline in the number of apple trees, production of apples has been practically . maintained. These are some of the important facts noted by the United States Department of Agriculture In an analysis f the prospects of the apple industry. Recent changes and present tendencies, the department indicates, promise a better approach to stability In the industry, but with the number of trees now planted, commercial production is expected to continue at a high level for several years. Production Increased. Though total apple production has declined slightly since 1917, commercial production has steadily Increased. Moreover, carlot shipments have increased at an average of 4,600 carloads a year since 1918, and movements by motor truck have grown considerably. Increased production per tree has largely offset the decline In the num her of trees. The department expects further increases in commercial apple production during the next few years, accompanied of course by an increase in the domestic demand resulting from population growth. The rate of in crease, according to the department will be less than it was during the last ten years. The future appears somewhat brighter for the real com mercial grower who is favorably loent ed and who produces apples of high quality at low cost. Conditions in the Industry are changing so rapidly, however, that success for the. individual grower requires attention to condi tions throughout the country, ns well as to the technical problems of his own orchard. Apple production is a business in which long views are necessary. The orchard planted today will not return a revenue for seven or ten years. When it starts producing however, it may he a source of income for 30, 50 or 60 years, in the past this fact seems not to have been suf ficientiy borne in mind, and overplanting has resulted. In a survey, started by the depart ment, information has been obtained on the number of trees of differtnt varieties and ages in the country as a whole and in different apple producing sections. Some of the outstanding facts revealed are announced br M. R. Cooper, senior economist in the bureau of agricultural economics. Future of Industry. So that the future of the apple Industry may be regionally considered. Mr. Cooper grouped 22 important apple states In six divisions, largely ac cording to location, but partly accord ing to the number of varieties grown These 22 states have about 74 pet cent of all the apple trees of beating age in the country. They produce about 81 per cent of the annual apple output In the western group of apple states (the Pacific coast and mountain states) apple production has increased enormously in thejast fifteen years.

Sheep shearing may be done more easily following a few days of warm weather. The oil or grease in the wool is stiff during cold weather and tends to clog up the clippers. Sheep should ever be shorn when their fleeces are wet. When damp fleeces are rolled up, the moisture in the bundle causes the wool to mold and consequently lowers its value.

Attention to swine sanitation Is changing hog production on many farms in Indiana from a losing to a profitable enterprise. A report received by the United States Department of Agriculture from Dr. J, El Gibson, federal inspector in charge of work in Indiana, credits the system developed by the bureau of animal try with many practical benefits. Our reports, he says, indicate that heretofore the average number of pigs per sow has been about- five and whereas farmers who are following instructions as to swine sanitation are now saving more than eight pigs per sow. Cases almost without number have been found where farmers were nearly ready to quit raising hogs because they were unable to save a sufficient number of their pigs to make the business profitable.
