SHORT ITEMS TO REMEMBER

Fires in cotton gins cause a large annual loss in this country. Australia’s wheat crop this year Is expected to reach' 168,000,000 bushels. Tn two months recently Argentina Imported nearly $4,000,000 worth of American motor trucks. An English postman won a wager by walking 16 miles in a pair of women’s high heeled shoes

Edward A. Cudahy, packer, has given Loyola university, of Chicago, $300,000 for a library. Genoa, Italy, which gave the world Columbus, is to have its own arch of triumph commemorating the nation’s victory over Austria. George Lewis solved the problem Os whom to invite to his birthday party. He asked every one in Adamsville, Mass., his home town.

Scores of people probably owe their lives to Mrs. Althea P. Marks, telephoi»e agent at Saticoy, Calif., who, when the St. Francis dam colkrpsed a year ago, remained at her switchboard three nights and two days without sleep, at first to warn homes in tlie path of the flood and later to assist relief. She has been awarded the Vail silver and bronze medals and $250 tn cash by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company.

MAY BE AMBASSADOR -j Iglil i xjBI

John N. Willys, who has retired from active work as an automobile manufacturer, is mentioned as likely to be appointed ambassador to Turkey. Florida's Entry Into Family By treaty of 1819 Spain ceded Florida to the United States on July- 1, 1821. This came as a result of many long controversies between the two countries in regard to Florida. Civil government was not established until 1822.

□RCHARD GLEANINGS

APPLE SCALD MAY BE MUCH REDUCED Pick the Fruit When Mature and Highly Colored Best. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Apple scald, one of the most serious: diseases with which the apple industry must contend, can be largely controlled or reduced if growers, dealers,, and storage companies will make use of available knowledge on control and apply measures now known Jo be ef’fective. Such information is published tn Farmers' Bulletin 13S0-F, “Applfr Scald and Its Control,” by Dr. Charles Brooks of the bureau of plant industry. just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The disease, according to Doctor Brooks, is familiar to the dealer and the consumer, but may be practically unknown to the grower except as it affects the returns from his crop. However, the grower also should family iarize himself with the problem because control measures must start in the orchard. Seasonal and other conditions in the orchard have a bearing on the susceptibility of the fruit to scal’d, although the conditions that prevail after rhe apples are picked determine the extent to which this susceptibility will be expressed in actual scald. Tlie maturity and color of the apples at picking time ate very important factors in determining their susj ceptibility to scald, the more mature and better-colored fruit scalding less than that which is greener. Different tests relative to the time of picking indicate that well-matured but not overripe fruit in general develops less than half as much scald as that picked green. Good exposure to sunlight produces high color and makes apples more resistant to scald. Color is influenced by weather conditions, pruning, soil, fertilizer, and general orchard management. It is important, says Doctor Brooks, that the apples be cooled as quickly as possible after picking. They should be delivered to the storage plant promptly, and if delayed should be kept well aerated. Free exposure to the air is often as important in scald control as low temperature, and it actually decreases the tendency of the fruit to scald instead of merely delaying the development of the disease. Storing the fruit in hampers, ventilated barrels, or baskets decreases the development of scald. Where it is practicable to wrap apples in oiled paper this method has proved to be the most complete preventive of scald that has been found. Oiled p%per wrappers have eliminated the disease as a market factor in all but two of the eighty commercial tests made. When pr rly handled, shredded oiled paper has given practically as good scald control as the oiled wrappers, but the paper must be well distributed in the package. A copy of the bulletin may be obtained by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Strawberry Plants Set , in August Not Favored Strawberry plants, if set in August, will bear some fruit the following rear if conditions are favorable for :hem to get established quickly. For. sest results, the plants for this purpose should be grown in pots, and thus oe well developed. Ordinary plants will bear so little fruit that it is pre’erable to plant in early spring, when :hey are established easier, and theres so little fruit the next season from Tali set plants that, as a rule, spring t planting is best. Plants are usually, set about IS inches apart in rows 314 ;o 4 feet apart. The soil should bench and is made so by the plowing inder of a heavy application of well •otted manure and the soil harrowed town fine before planting. Various Preparations of Bordeaux Mixtures There are various bordeaux prepirations. One standard strength for nany purposes is 4-5-50, which means: ’our pounds copper sulphate, five of ump lime and fifty gallons of water. L’he copper sulphate is dissolved by langing in a vessel containing part of the water. The lime is properly slaked, so that it is neither drowned aor burned, then the two dissolved themicals are put into the fifty galons of water. This bordeaux mixtureaiust be used very soon after making. The comnion practice is to hold thelime and copper in separate stock solutions, and make up the properdonate amount desired for the time. Delicious Apple Hardy Delicious apple trees are hardy, resisting the cold winters of northern states and the sudden changes of temperature in some of our western aniT southwestern states. This hardiness. ;ogether with their rapid growth and Early bearing, makes them very desirable for the farm orchard, as well is for the commercial apple grower. It is the leading apple on the market :oday, invariably finding ready sale it prices above other varieties of apples. Managing Peach Tree A mature large size peach tree should not be expected to bear over ten bushels of peaches. For this number, sixteen hundred peaches should suffice. If you have more than this aumber on your trees, thin them down to this number. Get Off the imperfect pnes. This will give you clean fruit at picking time, and it will have good size. Your picking and packing costs will be reduced and the price you rejeive for your fruit will be much to-: pressed
