If apples are allowed to grow touching one another they form an Ideal p oluit of entry for the larvae of coddling moths. Thinning also has Its direct effect upon the tree. It allows it to anaike thle proper wood growth, prevents break ing of limbts and allows the tree to produce ats nearly as possible uiniform annual erops. A\ heavy crop usually follows at light one.

When the Grain Is Field Dry It Should Bo Stacked and Thrashed. [P'repare1 by lhotniun ta station. 'The very Ibest tirue to get good seed is wihet it is inl the mntlkiug. Cood )seed( 1:4 like gool live stock-hest when it comes of good unevstr~y anl Is pro duced under fallVorablle c~omlitions.

Looking over the various Paris of the tiehl before cut ling, one 1n1y select (the parts of the crop to be handled septrately for the next year's seed supply. No extra work or "fussing" will be necessary before cutting. The felld may be cut na a whole and shocked, but extra cnre is necessary in setting tp shocks in the "seed" part of the field. A twelve bundle shock with two cap sheaves will withstand unfavorable weather and protect the grain. As soon as the grain is field dry It should he stacked and thrashed. 'The seed grain should be put In a separate stack, and the cap shenves should not he allowed in wilh tihe other parts of the shocks. They may go in with the feed or sale grain. When thrashed the seed grain should he stored separate from other grain, thus keeping it tin mixed. When thus kept separnte from field to lin It will be ready at in1y tite for the last analysis-the finuning mill -hbefore sowing. It Is not an easy matter always to idge the ineronsed pro lit that comes from saving seed grain in tis manner. clinmate,, Stoll and disenses havre rnmeh ! ( !!,!!,( ~' (lur4ll I'of te V '. I ).
