A Result of Non-Spraying of Trees 



and Encouragement and Protection of Birds 



for a Good Yield of Fruit. 



These apples were grown under the guardianship of a large Purple 

 Martin colony. No poisonous sprays were ever used on the trees, their 

 care and protection being intrusted to the birds. 



The apples shown in this picture number forty-one, having a total 

 weight of twenty-one pounds, and filling a half bushel measure heaping 

 full. They are of the Western Beauty or Summer Rambo variety, and 

 the tree produced twelve bushels of this quality in 1911.
