A new Yankee wrinkle" In the
shape of a fruit wrapping machine,
! has been invented in California. This
invention places upon the market fruit
bearing the label Machine wrapped
fruit not handled by band. " The
machine doing the work is a marvel OF
mechanical ingenuity, says Orchard
and Farm. II Is attached to the end
of the grader and receives the orange
direct. 1t Is simple to operate, com.
pact and perfectly automatic 1t re.
ceives the fruit on an endless chain at.
tached to which are series of caps,
feltlined and separated by rubber
partitions. The Wrappers are cut from
roll, after the manner of printing
presse, and after being printed, are
cut the desired size, when they are
ready for the orange. A unique de-.
vice twists the paper perfectly tight
about the orange, which is held in
place at the top by rubber plunger,
while the other end rests on ( It.
tipped rod. So closely is the orange
wrapped that ii is believed that it will
be practically impervious to moisture.
To prove that the machine will not
harm the skin of fruit, eggs have been
run through the machine and wrapped
without cracking the shell. The ma
chine has capacity of wrapping y
oranges minute, of 40, 900 every ten
hours. 1t would wrap carload in Il
day and half.
1t is coming to point where all tho
finest fruits are wrapped peaches,
pears, apricots, plums, etc
The machine wrapper may become
of general and practical use in fruit
raising sections throughout the coun-
try.

A PLAN FOR
AN APPLE SHOW

As result of the recent frult-grow-
ers' meetings, much interest has been
awakened in the fruit industry among
the farmers of Polk county. A per-
manent horticultural society, com
posed of progressive and wide.awake
growers, has been organized, and
much needed work is being done to
place the fruit-growing industry on
more profitable and business-like
basis. Sentiment is now strong among
the farmers in favor of holding an sp-
pie show in Dallas early next autumn,
and meeting of the growers has been
called by President H. s. Butz to con
slider the advisability of making such
an exhibit The meeting will be held
in the courthouse in Dallas on Satur
day, May 10, at 2 o'clock p. III. and
large attendance is expected.
Leading orcbardists are of the opi0-
ion that an apple show would prove
valuable means of arousiug interest
among the farmers in putting their
old orchards in better shape and in
engaging in apple growing on more
extensive scale. Former exhibits held
in various parts of the state have dem
Onstrated the fact that the Willamette
Valley is capable of producing as good
apples as can be grown in the north
west, and that with careful cultivation,
frequent spraying and progressive
management the apple crop could be
made to yield large profits to the
farmers each year. 1t is believed tina
an exhibit of choice fruit by the farm.
ers who are taking care of their Or
cards would stimulate the people gen
orally to join in an enthusiastic and
concerted movement to restore to the
Willamette Valley its once proud title
1.-THE Home of the Big Red Apple"
The meeting of the growers one week
from tomorrow is also called for the
purpose of determining what action
shall be taken by the society in aid
ing the county fruit inspector in en-
forcing the law against farmers who
have neglected or refused to spray and
clean their orchards when notified to
do so. Other matters of intere t will
come up for discussion and a lively
and profitable meeting is anticipated

Last week the Fruit Trade journal
printed report from Horace W. Day,
Of Sgobel & Day, who is in Califor.
mia, that the Bartlett pear crop there
was turning out we'll, contrary to ap-
prehensions last season that San Jose
scale was getting the upper hand. The
Sacramento Union of March q prints
full report on this subject from
Deane b. Swingle, of the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
who at the request Of the County Hor-
ticultural Commissioners made close

orchards on the Sacramento River as
