Importance of ThInning FruIt.

In fruit-growing sections. the necessity
OF thinning was emphasized during the
season Of 1896, says the American Farmer.
This work must be done in order 70 save
the strength Of the tree and improve the
size and quality OF the apples. With ap-
pies more than with any other kind Is
this true, for nearly all of the larger
fruits produce al intervals immense guam
titles OF bloom and set an abnormal crop
OF fruit. II this Is allowed to mature the
trees viii be so badly exhausted that 1t
will require several years FOR recovery ana
IA addition the fruit will be small and OF
poor quality.
In a case OF this kind thinning can be
rosorted TO with profit. To one who has
never thinned fruit, the work may seem
impractlcable In tnat the cost Of thlnnins
will be greater than any benefit derived
from n. This, however A. not true, as haS
been demonstrated by many practical
growers. and particularly by the Massa-
chusetts experiment station during 1925.
The tests made with Gravenstein apples
were hardly satisfactory. as this yarie-
~ dropped rs fruit prematuroly last tea-
sen. However even with this drawback
a was shown that there was considerable
profit In thinning fruit. In one case the
fruit from tree properly thlnned brought
s233 more than that from the same tree
untreated. The cost Of thinning was As
cents which left o net profit OF si5 In
another test IN which the Tctofsky az.
pie was the variety selected the fhinncd
fruit sold for si.D more than that not
thinned. The cost Of thinning was 20
cents leaving a net profit OF s. cents IN
favor OF thinning.

The New Mexico way of dealing with the
squash bug is to spray il when young
with kerosene emulsion. For the matur-
ed insect they double up the infected plant
so II can be covered by a washtub or other
alrught vessel. On the top leaves of the
plant they place a little cotton saturated
with bisulphide of carbon, cover over with
the tub. and over this place a wagon blan-
ket with dirt packed firmly about the
edges and allow this to remain for over
an hour In this way the gas kills all in
sects above the soil. and. penetrating into
the earth, kills all under the clods
When the vines are too large or too
many this is of course impracticable, but
the use of the bsulphide upon the cotton
IS worth remembering, and an advance
over other ways that have been suggested

It is reported that a fruit company in
California has adopted an interesting
method of drying potatoes, by which they
are greatly lightened. so as to be
more available for transportation. BY
the drying process four-ffth Of the weight
is removed without lessening the nutri-
tious value of the potato or diminishing
its excellence as food when cooked The
company will soon have ready for market

five million pounds. Drying potatoes for

practice in his orchards and he has never
omitted it. He finds that the work can
me more quickly done than is usually sup
posed, and boys, if properly taught, can
do 1t as Well as men. When the trees are
headed low, the thinning is not so difficult
as where the fruit is a long distance from
the ground.
Mr.. W. w. Stevens. a most successful
farmer and fruit grower of Southern In
diana, says: II believe that not one or
chardist in hundred attends to the thin
ming of fruit as it should be done. The
importance of this item in the care of an
orchard is not thought of by the average
fruit grower, but a few experiments or
some observations in this line will con-

Times Democrat.
The moral wave sweeping over
this country, just now attended
with crank legislation. is becom-
ing steadily more oppressive and
restrictive. The drift is decided
" towards offensive puritanism
and the laws and practices of the
dark ages. 1t is, perhaps, to be
expected that the cigarette should
"catch it" in the Legislature, for
it is without friends; but then
could there be any graver freak
law than the provision adopted by
the Chicago Council prohibiting
the sale and smoking of cigarettes
within limit of 200 feet of school.
If the cigarette is unhealthy and
dangerous, and there seems to be
a great deal of exaggeration on
this point, it should be prohibited
instead of having absurd condi'
tions attached to it.
Still more retrograde is the Will
