Nashville.—Fruit crop here good. Bert Johnson. Georgia. Commerce.—Peach crop normal. Local growers giving great care to spraying and cultivation and are hoping to control brown rot and worms. C. J. Hood. Cornelia.—Prespects are for 40 to 50 per cent less apples in Habersham and Rabun counties than last year. Some orchards completely frozen out, while others suffered only about 10 per cent. The Yonah orchard is not hurt more than 10 -per cent. Peaches, except on low land, prom ise well. Yonah Fruit Co. Ft. Valley.—Prospects for normal crop of fruit. Frost prevented us from having bumper crop. Present outlook is for 7500 cars of peaches from Georgia this year. The cling stones will be short. Duke Bros. Kentucky. Bowling Green.—About half crop of apples; no peaches or plums; three-fourths crop of strawberries. Henry L. Underwood. Lexington.—-A p p 1 e s anywhere from 50 to 100 per cent killed. Pears, peaches and plums most all killed. | 10 per cent of crop in some sections. Strawberries injured anywhere from 10 per cent to 60 per cent; other small fruits fared better. Indiana. Seymour.—Apple crop seems to have been reduced 50 per cent in Indiana. J. J. Peter. Massachusetts. Prospects good for all fruits. Baldwin and wealthy apples were injured in March, but apparently enough blooms left for fair crop. Peaches and small fruits promise good crop. F. C. Sears. MissourL Columbia.—Recent freezes have seriously damaged fruit crops of this slate. Cherries, plums, peaches and pears will be practically a total loss. Strawberries, half crop. Apples suf fered badly in all sections of state, the injury being more severe in sou thern part of state. I doubt if the state as a whole will produce more than a quarter of the crop produced in 1920. Prof. V. R. Gardner. North Carolina. Raleigh.—While most varieties of apples have had large percentage of fruit buds killed, but there are still enough left to produce a good crop. It requires only about 15 per cent to 20 per cent of normal bloom of an apple to produce a full crop. N. C. Dept, of Agr. New York. Rochester.—Though we have had several late frosts our fruit planta tions, both large and small, seem to promise fairly good crops. Small fruits do not seem to be injured at all. Cherries injured most, and a- pricots next. Apples, pears and plums not injured. Reports on grapes vary. It is a surprise to everybody to see the peach blos soms coming through in good con dition after severe freezing and snow r storms. Chas. A. Green. Ohio. Surveys made by the Ohio Experi ment Station regarding the recent frost inury to fruit shows that a fair crop of apples may be harvested in northern Ohio. In southern Ohio many of the commercial varities have suffered heavy loss. Specialists report that apples this year produced a ten-fold crop of blossoms, and were able to with stand freezing without complete loss. The prevalence of late-blooming varieties of apples in northern Ohio will help the .chances for a crop of apples as is also the case with late- blooming cherries. Only along the Lake shore, how ever, will a peach crop be harvested. Plums in general were completely destroyed by frosts. An unusual occurrence of winter injury in young apple orchards in northeastern Ohio is reported de spite the mild winter temperature. Generally, only after a severe winter is freezing injury to the trunks of trees noticed. At this season of the year when the days are f becoming hot, lice and mites multiply very rapidly, and if they are not, checked, will soon be come so numerous that young chicks as well as the grown chickens can not live among them. By examining the roost poles and nests carefully each week, one may easily learn yvhether mites are pres ent- Their ’habits are very much like those of the common bed bug. They suck the blood at night from the chicks and hide during the day in cracks and crevices. Their com mon hiding place is on the under side of the roost poles, or in cracks on the roost poles, or where the roost poles rest on some of the tim ber. If mites are discovered get busy at once with a 5 per cent solu tion of kreso dip No. 1. This can be bought from almost any drug store in quart, half gallon, and gallpn cans; and one quart of kreso dip will make twenty quarts of the solu tion when mixed with nineteen quarts of water. This is a 5 per cent solution. With a strong spray pump, spray the inside of the houses and coops with this solution until every particle of timber is wet with it and aU cracks are filled with it. All nests should be cleaned out and contents burned. Repeat this treat ment once a week about three or four times, and then whitewash the houses thoroughly, filling all cracks and crevices with a good thick whitewash. After this watch every month during the hot summer days for the reappearance of the mite, as there might be a few left from the treatment. Lice have quite different habits from the mites. Lice live on the bodies of the chickens and it is nec essary to examine little chicks and grown chickens to discover their presence. If found on the bodies of grown chickens, they should be furnished a good strong dust with plenty of ashes and pulverized moth balls. If it is not convenient to get the pulverized moth balls, use powdered tobacco stains or snuff. Sulphur also is good to mix in the dust bath. If hens are furnished this kind of dust bath they usually will keep their bodies clean of lice. Lice cannot stand a dust. It is well also, when lice are found on the eggs, to pick each hen up separately and give her a strong dusting with some chick disinfectant or lice kill er. A very good one is Pyrethrum Powders.

Swiss Yodlers Coining Here Chautauqua Week THE OUTLOOK FOR FRUIT FOR THE YEAR 1921. According to reports received from reliable horticulturists through out the country, the outlook for fruit this season is very spotted. In some sections apples and peaches have suffered badly. But certain favored sections will have their usual amount of fruit. The reports are as follows: Alabama. Auburn: North Alabama—Apples; bloom light, set very poor, crop 10 per cent. Peaches.—Bloom heavy; fruit damage very severe; crop very light. Pear.-r-Bloom good; set good; crop light, account of cold. Central Alabama. — Apple—Bloom light; set fair; no damage; 25 per cent. Pear.—Bloom good; crop only fair. Peach.—Bloom heavy; set good; crop 50 per cent to 75 per cent. South Alabama.—Peach crop poor, not over 30 per cent crop. Citrus crop promises well. Prof. G. C. Starcher. Boaz.—Apple crop short on ac count of heavy crop last year. I will have possibly 600 bushels of apples. No peaches. Chas. W. Ewing. Arkansas. i Decatur.—Peaches all killed, and apples believed to have met same fate. Pears and plums killed. Strawberries, blackberries and raspberries, 50 per cent. E. N. Plank. Fayetteville.—No apples, peaches, plums or cherries in Northwest Ark ansas. Good prospects for full crop of peaches in Howard county, where the 3500-acrp Bert Johnson orchard is located. About 15 to 20 per cent Grobecker’s Swiss Yodlers will give a full concert and a prelude at the coming five-day Redpath Chautauqua. This company is composed of genuine Swiss Yodlers presenting to tie American public a program of true Swiss mountain folklore, full of education al as well as entertainment features. “Daddy” Grobecker, as he is affection ately called by his people, is the manager of the company. The Yodlers appear in their picturesque Swiss mountain attire and sing melodious Swiss yodle songs, interspersed with popular and standard Amer ican songs and also instrumental muqic rendered on the unique musical instru ments of the Swiss mountaineers. The Yodlers are a picturesque and thoroughly entertaining organization.
