SIT is ALL RIGHT FOR THE CARBON

County Seat to Lehighton but it sort of
strikes us that II is in hopeless minority"
M. G. Times.
Is that so? Brother Rinker has evidently
failed to observe that for some time past
public sentiment has been steadily crystal
lizing in favor of Lehighton as the County
Seat; it is 80, however. But it is useless to
argue the question, a new Court House will
not be erected this year or from the very
fact that Carbon county is not in financial
condition to build an ediiice becoming
the dignity and Importance of the county.
The old building may be repaired, improved
and renovated but when a new court of
justice goes up Lehighton will put forth
her claim for it, and with every reasonable
argument in our favor we are not afraid of
the result. Can our versatile brother say
likewise? Hardly

Appi~s for Winter Consumption - The
Question Of EarIy and Late Harvesting
n an. Frus. Te-sed-A Word About the
Des,rabIIIty Of Faf Flowing
Obviously the proper time for picking
apples must vary so much IN different
latitudes and different seasons that no
fixed date can be given that will be aT-
,iicabIe In all cases or with ali varieties.
For the winter sorts il has commonly
beer believed that the longer they would
hold on firmly. the longer the picking
might be advantageousiy delayed ana
that ia such cases late gatherings would
keen better than earlier ones from the
same trees.
For a practical test in this matter OF
early and late picking upon the keeping
qualities Of epples. an experiment was
berun at the Ohio station. Sept 20 OF
last year. in which five well known
varieties were chosen. Of which 100 per
feet ap,les.of each variety were selected
nj each Of the four several pickings
which occurred Sept. 26. Oct 8. Oct. 10
and Oct. %. the latest date at which a
sufficient number Of perfect specimens
could be obtained.
The selected varieties were Baldwin
Roxburv russet. Newtown pippin. Jona-
than and Ben Davis The apples were
stored in crates IN an ordinary cellar
The weight Of each lot was taken at the
time of picking and at frequent intervals
during the experiment. Rotten speci-
mems were removed at the same time.
The shrinkage in weight, due TO loss OF
water bv evaporation. occurred mostly
before the expiration Of two months. The
loss was greater in the early picked apples
than in the late.
A tabulated statement al the expert
ment at its close. 2J6 days from picking.
also for a shorter period. or 221 days
from the date Of the picking. also OF IN
termediate pickings. makes it apparent
that the results with the varieties iaclud-
ed in the experiment agree substantially
in the following particulars: /. No dif-
ference in keeping qualities between
early and late pickings was manifest at
the expiration OF two months from the
date of the picking. 2. Baldwin, Rox-
bury russet and Jonathan showed a dif-
ference in favor Of early picking before
the expiration Of six months from the
date Of picking. Newtown pippin and
Ben Davis did not exhibit a difference
between early and late pickiBss until
after the expiration Of six months. ..
After the expiration Of six months the
difference between early and late pick
ings increased until the close OF the ex-
pertinent.
The conclusion reached was that early
picking Of apples improves their keeping
qualities. but no difference is manifest
for nearly six months after picking. II
kept for a longer period than six months
the early picked apples show decided
gain over those picked late. The greater
part Of the loss in weight, caused 10y
drying. occurs within six months after
picking. The carly picked apples lose
slightly more in weight than those that
are picked late.

Starving Plants.

Plants may be smothered while grow
ing upon the richest soil. This is one of
the best illustrations of the law of the
survival of the fittest. A hundred oat
plants. for example. may be growing
upon an area only large enough for fifty.
They all pass the period OF termination.
