THUliS COST Of LldG

‘ T believe the high cost of
living bugaboo will have disap
peared two years from now.”
Such was the declaration of
Daniel 0. Lively, chief o f the
live-stock department o f the
Panama-Pacific Exposition, in
the course of a discussion at the
International live-stock show to
day.
“'This country is going to see
wonders worked by the farmers
and livestock raisers within the
next few
years,”
he said.
“ Everywhere 1 go and every
thing I hear indicates that we
are on the threshold o f an era of
great prosperity.”

This work of cleaning the or
chard as soon as the harvest is
completed is no joke. It is a
serious,
necessary, important
job, just as essential in fact as
cleaning the dairy when butter
is made. It is only secondary in
importance to spraying. Com-
bating the bugs and fungi is
rendered much more difficult in
orchards which have not had the
rubbish, broken and dead limbs
removed and fence rows cleaned
out, than it is where the orchard
is clean. Rubbish, dead leaves,
