The Foreign Apple Trade.

1t may seem unnecessary for the
Maine apple grower to pay much at
tention to the foreign apple market
this year; but there are years yet to
follow and seasons when we shall only
be too glad to avail ourselves of any
opportunity to ship at least 9 part of
the surplus abroad.
The auction system has materially
improved the apple trade in England.
and it has helped TO reduce the cost
of placing the fruit on the British mar
ket. The ocean freight on barrel Of
apples varies from 40 to 65 cents, but
the charges in Liverpool for dockage.
town dues, insurance, advertising,
sampling, and the labor of handling
amount only to about I'd. Add to this
five per cent. commission on sales, and
you have the cost of delivering and
selling apples in England.
honest measure is seen when it is
learned that a slack" barrel, one in
which, when shaken. the apples may
be felt to move about will bring only
three or four shillings when a good
barrel is selling for sixteen. So mucn
Importance is attached to the packing
that many American shippers buy
their apples either in the market or
direct from the farmers, and then re-
pack every barrel. This increases the
cost a little, but it pays houses with
good regulations to do it. They en-
ploy expert packers, who do the work
rapidly and scientifically, and when /.
barrel is finished by them the fruit
cannot be shaken by the toughest
storm that ever tumbled a steamer.
The British buyer has very decided
preferences for certain varieties Of
apples, and the shippers have to cater
to these notions. Baldwins have in the
past been great favorites on account
of their high color and attractive ap
pearance; but the Ben Davis apple has
replaced the Baldwin to a large degree
lately. More of the Ben Davis variety
are shipped abroad than any other, and
more orchards are being planted with
these than with Baldwins and green
ings combined.
Our apples are forcing their way into
the German market despite the objec-
tions and opposition they have had to
encounter. 1t is noticeable that while
the German and other European Or
chardists decry American apples they
seek American CRAFTS for their trees.

for college athletics, barring prepara-
tory students from college athletics,
games with outside colleges to be re-
garded as practice games, discourage
ment of summer playing of base ball,
further elimination of the rough
features of foot ball.
No definite steps toward modifying
the game of foot ball have been taken
as yet, but the majority voiced the
sentiment that mass plays should be
abolished, only three men to be al
lowed behind the line when the ball is
to be put in play. A committee of
three was appointed to prepare such
modification of the rules as may seem
wise. An important feature of the
meeting is the decision not to allow A
student to be on an athletic team or
take part in the college athletics more
than four years. instead of during the
time he may be taking post graduate
course or be connected with law or
other school of the university or while
he may be connected with any prepar-
atory course of the institution.
These efforts are in the main
along the right line of re-
stricticn. The foot ball and other
athletic features are to be retained in
the best practicable form and are to he
subordinated TO the college rather than
the college to them.
