I wish now that I had bought the land my self ". BEE-KEEPING SPE CIALIST VISITS COUNTY There are two genera1 clasaea of markets open to the local and the foreign mar ket.

It is possible to renew the snark of life in worn out soils by the proper treatment of the land, the control 01 erosion and by liming and growing legumes. We often hear people say that a farm has been worn out and is worthless from a crop production standpoint," says R. W, Craeber, county agent for the State College Extension service in this county..

Frosts in late May reduced prospects in many scattered sections, particularly in some of the central States, Virginia, Michigan, and portions of New York. The condition of apples on June 1 was nearly 10 per cent below the usual average on that dlate. The Northwestern States expect more apples than were picked last year,bufc for the country as a whole the crop seems likely to be lighter, aunougn much depends on the rainfall during the next few months. Peach production shows a lurge increase in California where most of the crop is canned or dried, but but in practically all other important States the crop is expected to be substantially smaller than last year. Even in Georgia, where many young trees are coming into bearing, the crop is expected to be less than 7,000,000 bushels compared with 8,833,000 bushels last year.1 The pear crop also is reported only fair this year, California alone among the important producing States expecting materially larger crop than in the preceding season. 27,3000 TONS NEW RAIL PURCHASED BY SOUTHfcKN 3-3 fertilizers before seeding in raiL- Contracts have just been let by the Southern Railway System for the purchase of 27,300 tons of new rail for delivery during the last half of 1925.
