BIG Fill YIELD
State Entomologist Reports Good Prospects if Orchards are Given the Proper Attention.
Prospects for an abundant fruit crop in Indiana seldom have been better according to Charles H.Baldwin, state entomologist.
Fruit trees are now in full bloom and with spraying properly done and continued favorable weather, there should be a big crop. There is no insect pest at this time to cause much damage, and only a freeze will prevent an unusually large yield of every' kind of fruit.
The prospects of a large apple crop are especially good. Apple growing is becoming an important industry of the state, and the yield is rapidly increasing because the trees are receiving better care.
The state entomologist is receiving telephone calls from all parts of the state, asking what to use and how to spray fruit trees. Scores of other people are making similar inquiries by mail. "More attention is being given to orchards today than ever before," said Mr. Baldwin. "Whenever an insect pest makes its appearance in an orchard the owner appeals to us immediately for advice, and it is noticeable that spraying is becoming almost universal. The time is coming when there will cease to be a neglect of orchards."
Reports received by the entomologist indicate that the prospects are excellent for a bumper wheat crop. The weather conditions have been ideal for oats sowing, and the acreage for corn promises to be as big as ever.

$100 REWARD
FOR WOMEN'S BRAINS
Every Housekeeper in America has a Chance to Win It.
We are continually seeking ideas to develop a new Quaker Valley Household Labor Saver or improve an old one. We have recently—just recently, we confess it—learned to turn to women inBtead of men for this sort of assistance. And that's the story in a nutshell of how the Clara
Klinsr Clothespin Bae came into being. We
paid a woman a handsome sum for this invention. And yet it's such a simple notion! You'll^wonder why you did
..... not think of it yourself. The
reason probably is that you have never been properly encouraged to use your inventive talent. Heres a chance. It is for you—it is for every housewife in America. Now we also manufacture the STANDUP SCRUBBER—that wonderful little machine that takes all the hard work out of keeping the house clean—no more lame backs, no more sore hands, no more stooping and wearing the life out on the hands and knees to clean a floor.
The Standup Scrubber is a man's invention. But wouldn't it be a glorious achievement to the credit of womankind if YOU should iraprovr it? We believe this is possible, notwithstanding it is today admittedly the only practical scrubbing machine on th» market.
We know you will be delighted with the Standup Scrubber, and yet it may be possible for you to suggest some little thing "—any tittle change or addition
3 that would make tt .more perfect. Nowfor everysuch suggestion that yon send us,' and that we adopt, looking to the npraraqent of. .the Standup •fibber or the Clara\Kling *i«spta Bag, or for any other idea that we accept and develop into an
tinve.n,tio,n.to
make housework iiet, we, wLl give
One Hundred Dollars in Gold
Every lady purchasing a Standup Scrubber is entitled to share in this distribution of $100 prises. With every Scrubber a.Clothespin Bag will be included free. When you send in your suggestions you must give ua the date of the patent stamped on each article and the name of the dealer from whom you purchased them. Mail your suggestions to E. E. STEVENS, president, Quaker Valley Mfg. Company, Aurora, JUinoia. Buyyour Standup Scrubber and get youi^ Clothespin.. Bag free from your local dealer. The price is tl.BO.
Not all dealers sell the Standup Scrubber so, if you wish, upon receipt of the price, we'll ship you one by parcel-post, prepaid, and include a Clara Kling Clothespin Bag free of charge. Remember, if y6u have any §ood labor-saving riotidn for the home, it is worth $100 in gold, provided you are an owner of a Standup1 Scrubber.
