Irrigation Useful for Apple Disease

Picking Fruit at Right Time Also Is Big Help. (Prepared by the United State# Department or Agriculture,) Water core, a serious disease of apples occurring in practically every important apple-growing section of the world, may be reduced considerably by liberal Irrigation and by picking the fruit at the proper maturity, according to Dr. Charles Brooks, pathologist of the United States Department of Agriculture. Six years of Investigation have served to show that, contrary to the prevailing opinion, the disease occurs when the supply of water in the soil is inadequate rather than when it Is excessive. The real cause of the trouble, however, is in connection with high temperatures. Intense sunlight, aud the accompanying high sap concentration In the fruit. The watery or glussy appearance of the flesh of the apple, a characteristic distinguishing water core from all other apple discuses. Is due to the filling of the intercellular spaces with cell sap instead of air. When water is not available in sufficient quantity high temperature* and intense sunlight cause the sap in the fruit to eoneeatrate and exert enormous pressure on the rel! tissues to a point where they break dowu. In Irrigated regions ex|*erliaents showed that apples from heavily irrigated trees developed less water core than those from lightly irrigated trees. Also less water core developed when light Irrigation was followed by he # vy Irrigation than when the praetio- was reversed. Ticking gt the proi»er stage of ma- , turfty is the most practicable preventive now known for the trouble, especially in the nonirrigated regions. The study showed that water core might increase ns much as I*o per cent in 10 days after the proper time for picklug. Tests Show Best Means of Inoculating Legumes Pure cultures ,of legume bacteria grown on artificial or laboratory media have been found superior to soil for Inoculating legumes, when judged by the number of nodules obtained per plant, according to results of experiment* made by Investigators at the college of agriculture. University of Illinois When the same legume I* grown a second time In the same field, g(H»d nodule development Is secured both from pure cultures and from soil. These findings have been made in • studies or the factors influencing the Inoculation of soy beans. The effectiveness of either method of inoculation Is decreased by failure to sow the seed soon after Inoculation. To give the best results, bacteria should be applied to the seed within twenty-four boor* of the time at which the sowing is done. Illinois Trying to Get Improved Types of Oats Seveuteen crosses between different varieties and strains of oats are being w studied by plant breeders in the ex perlnirnt station of the college of agriculture. University of Illinois, in an effort to get improved types of oats. These crosses Involve several different characters, such as black and white grain color, presence and absence of awns, and presence and' absence of tlgules. An attempt la being made to combine high yield and good quality with other desirable characters. Best Breed of Chickens * In starting out in the iH*ultr\ business, it is best to start out with a well established breed because they • are more likely to breed true to type and color than the newer breeds aud there is also more of a demand for hatching eggs aud breeding stock from the old established breed* than from the novelty. Os course, each Individual has some preferences as to color and type, which should not be overlooked.

Diet for the aged is much neglected. To live long and to remain well and

active is the object of every normal man or woman. As old age comes on, nature loses the inclination for exercise, but unfortunately she does not lose

her appetite in the same ratio. Our eating should adapt itself to our activities, and thus, by abstemious living, we Will do away with many of the diseases subject to old age. From twenty to forty the vital organs are youag and respond to their demands without apparent difficulty, but at sixty the stomach and liver are beginning to resent overwork—the exercise, life In the open air. and the work of earlier years are missed, and the body feel* the strain. Walking and swimming are the best exercises, keeping the organs in fine working order. Walking will soon become a lost art, with the automobile at the door to save every step. Golfing is helping to keep active many who would otherwise take no exercise, but the proportion of golfers is still very small. The result of overeating and underexercising develops tot. superfluous material which clogs the system and chokes the vital organs. This clogging tends to auto Intoxication or selfpoisoning which causes rheumatism, gout, neuritis, hardening of the arteries and various other troubles. Tis-sue-building foods should be partaken of sparingly, as their need is past, though they nre needed In the diet to add variety. Meat should be eaten very sparingly, not oftener than once a day. The aged who are overweight should avoid tots, eating sparingly of root vegetables and scarcely any sweets. A good diet for seventy and seventyfive should be made up of fruit, vegetable* (mostly green), some fish, eggs, and very little with simple cereals. The more an aged person exercises. the more food he may eat and Bsslmllatb. When one has reached the age of sixty with no disease shadowing him. he should by right living show his gratitude, by refusing to become Indolent and thus invite disaster. Two quarts of water or more should be taken each day between meals. Water is one of the essentials to good health. It Is needed to soften the food, so that the digestive Juices may act upon It and thus nourish the tissues, and fully a* Important, flush the system. Too tittle water is drunk by the great majority of adults. Fried mush Is always a welcome breakfast dish served with butter and maple sirup. Tea and coffee in moderate strength and reasonable amount are not Injurious to those w*ho have formed a taste for them Fresh Vegetables. It l* surprising how soon one will be satlsfled with meat but once a

week, after trying to serve vegetables and other foods to take its place. Too much meat is unquestionably bad for the health, but a little occasionally is better than a

restricted diet of vegetables unless under the doctor’s orders. Cabbage Is such a wholesome vegetable and one may serve it In such away that it is sufficiently nourishing for a main dish. Take a small hard head of cabbage and drop it into boiling water slightly salted to cook until tender. Drain and place on a hot chop plate. Prepare a rich white sauce, adding lust at the last a cupful of finely chopped rich cheese. Stir until well dissolved In the sauce, then pour over the cabbage, which has been cut into pie-shaped piece*. Another nice way to serve cabbage Is with milk. Cook until tender, dress with butter after being well drained and add enough rich milk and a few crackera well crumbled. Stir until well seasoned and serve hot This la called ladies’ cabbage. Stewed Lettuce.—As the lettuce gets old and slightly tough, cook It in a Uttle water uncovered. Press with butter, salt and pepper and serve it with vinegar as greens. Cucumbers are very palatable cooked and served with a drawn butter sauce, adding a Uttle onion juice for flavor. The tomato U delicious sliced when very ripe and served with cream as one does peaches. Sliced rather thick and fried they are liked by many. Serve as a garnish to a platter of meat. Onions With Chases Sauce.—Cook onions until tender, then place them In a baking dish with a layer of rich white sauce and a layer of good cheese finely cut Bake covered with battered crumbs end nerve hot Tvwwotg.

Witt Use Reflectors in Astronomical Work New methods of research of astronomers call for the nse of telescopes of enormous size, and the apparatus of the future, it is believed, will be the reflector. This type, of which there are several forms, employs a concave mirror with a silvered surface, instead of a lens. It is easier to construct in large sizes than the older form, the refractor. Large disks of pure optical glass are difficult to produce. That is why the biggest ob-ject-glass ever made is only 40 inches In diameter. In a mirror, internal faults that would be fatal in an objectglass do not matter. The light of the star does not pass through the glass, but Is reflected from its concave face. This surface Is covered with a highly polished film of pure silver, deposited by a chemical process.
