According to a census report ri cently issued, there are only about 4 percent as many fruit bearing tree in the state as there were 10 yeai ago. The number of apple trees alon las been reduced about 50- percent. In 1910 there were 5,847,034 trees Trail in 1920 there were only 2,996,469.

figures show that there are now only about one-third as many young tree, not yet bearing as there -were 10 year: ago. 9 The falling off of fruit production marked in the case of every fruit the exception of strawberries which have shown a small increase- In 1920, 61.7 percent of the farms i Iowa reported bearing apple trees in 3.910, 68.5 percent reported 'here are 131,791 farms in Iowa having orchards. It Is estimated that 0,000 archards -were sprayed this ear as with 3,000 last year, this respect orcharding conditions re on the up-grade and the increase in spraying somewhat offsets the de crease in trees. Since nnsprayed orchards as a rale do not enough for consumption in the home, these (figures saow that Iowa does not' produce enough fruit for her own needs. Last year it was estimated that 2,000 carloads of apples -were 'shipped into Iowa from outside points.

In addition to the large shipments last year, Iowa produced more apples than In any year for the past four. There is no oasis, the extension department at Iowa State college, for the Belief apples raised in Iowa cannot oe sold. The difficulty in Iowa is that tfie apples are not cared for, and therefore can not compete witr those which are shipped in, free from insect and disease injury. likely to result In a mellow and com- late SS production while the birds naff QffirT i pact seedbed. In order to get harvested grains out of the way for early plowing many farmers stack insieai of waiting to thresh from the shock.

Can Be Sown With Corn for Hogging Down. "Rape is one of the most Talnable pasture crops which can be seeded between corn rows at the lost cultivation or tip to Aug.

1," is the statement made by farm crop experts of the Iowa experiment station. "Hape as a forage for hogs is almost, equal to alfalfa." Corn and rape may he harvested profitably by "hogging down" or by pasturing -with sheep in the fall. The eafy plants will tend to shade the ground sufficiently to keep the land practically free of weeds. The seed is generally scattered with a hand seeder at the rate of about hree to five pounds to the acre, immediately preceding the last cultiva- ion. If it is aot possible to seed at this time, however, it may be sown at ate as the last week of ETuly with a ne-horse drill.

This latter method will provide a more uniform distriba- on and covering of seed. When hogging down corn in a eld where rape has not been sown, igs mate creditable gains but each ne should consume about one-half ound of tankage per day. This may largely replaced -with rape and tie orn made to go further, as shown by experiments at tha Iowa station. CARE OF REFRIGERATOR PAYS. Should Be Given Weekly Bath; Icebox Filled.

Although there are more horses mules at work in the United States now than 10 years ago, by nearly a million, iead- an increase of about 4 percent, there are fewer colts available replacements needed this coming year. To keep- the horse and mule label- supply iwhere it stands at present, there -will be needed this year for replacements a total of 1,811,087 animals. The colt at present Is produced at the rate of only 1,594,141 per year, much less than required fo replacements.

This anieans a lower supply of new and mules coming on than is actually needed. To meet this situation, more must be bred on the farms, say horse men.

A mile of paving is being completed every day in Iowa, as road construction work is swinging into the fastest pace that it has ever hit in the Mo- tory of the state million and a half dollars -were spent from the primary road fund alone during the month of June for road building, bridges and maintenance. This amount is boosted to 52,000,000 -when one includes special assessments and bond issues.

The summary of road building activities in June shows the following totals: 2SM mile's of gravel and 1539-10 miles of permanent grading. Work on the primary road system is being car ried on in 87 coumies. One husdred and forty-six are under way. "With the price of materials down almost to pre-war levels and with an abundant supply of labor, contractors have been confronted with only one handicap, the weather. State highway commission officials estimate that one-third of the actual working time of the past month ras been lost on this account.

POULTRY NEEDS CLEAN HOUSES. GIVE PIGS FILL OF CORN. Even on Alfalfa Corn Ration Should Not be Limited. That the corn ration of weanling Pigs on alfalfa pasture should not be limited is indicated by the results secured in experiments conducted by the animal husbandry section of the Iowa agricultural experiment station, after weaning time. They weighed in the neighborhood of 55 pounds each Six lots of pigs were taken shortly and were fed until they weighed 225 pounds.

Will Do Well Under Unsanitary Conditions. "Don't let the poultry houses become foul and stale during the summer months, for that is the time when poultry parasites are most active and injurious," is the advice of the Tioul- try section of the Iowa extension department. Sanitation is very essential in lie yards, houses and with the equipment in order to have a flock free from disease, lice and mites. All droppings and trash should l)e removed from the poultry house and yards. The yards should be plowed Deeply and sown to a green crop such as oats.

It is well to lime the soil after the plow Ing to aid in checking the work rt disease germs that may be present. thoroughly the houses which are badly infested with mites using a mixture of three parts of keroseaa and one part of crude carbolic acid. Standard solutions of stock dip or coal tar products will serve satisfactorily also for this purpose. White washing the poultry hoascj each year checks insect breeding and leaves the building clean. A white wash suitable for this work can made by mixing one tushel of un- slacked lime, which should be slacked in 12 gallons of warm water, two pounds' of common salt, one pound of zinc sulphate, which is dissolved in two gallons of warm water and added to the slacked lime, and -two gallons of milk.

For every gallon of this solution three teaspoonfuls of chlorinated lime should be added to make the white wash act as a disinfectant as well as a cleaner.
