SEEDLESS
|NDORSED

The American Agricultuist pub
lished ut New York, recently made
an investigation of the Spencer seed
less apple at Grand Junction, and the
report made as follows viii doubtless
be very interesting to the apple grow
ers OF the Durango and New Mexico
countries:
There has been much said recently
about the Spencer seedless apple.
Comparisons have been formed In II
states for the propagation OF this
unique novelty. For our own satisiac-
ton and lor the information OF hun
dreds of thousands OF readers, we
deemed it Gxpedient To make u care
Iul investigation OF this fruit, as well
rs the orginiul trees ana the sur
roundings under which II is being
propagated. To this end early last
October we requested a disinterested
party, the well known horticultural eN-
pert, w. Frank Crowley of Montrose,
Colo, to go to Grand Junction and re-
port without gloves in every detail.
His report is as follws:

them ON the market at the same
time, ana to protect the various per
sons who nave furnished the money to
do this. It is evident that this is one
of the few instances where the origi-
nator OF a new fruit viii reap good
reward for his labor.
While some OF the claims made for
the Spencer seedless apple have been
ovordrawn. they have not been exag-
gerated more than Is customary with
new fruits nd novelties. | know that
many new varieties. with less merit
than the Spencer seedless apple. have
been put through the ordinary chan
nels OF nursery trade with more cx-
trayagant claims People as whole
are used 10 these things and usually
tare all the tree agents claims with
a grain OF salt. So by taking the
grain Of salt. along with the Spencer
seedlcss apple, we may say II Is prac.
tically all they claim It to be. and a
safe thing to advertise In such relia.

However, / did see the bearing

in age from 6 to ~ or II years. 1t Is
from these trees that all OF their

organizing the companies in the way

are put ON the market the monopoly
Of the business will pass from their
hands, as all nurserymen will have
their equal right to propagate the
trees. Knowing that the chance for
making money out of the Spencer
seedless apple alone will last but n
few seasons, the company has decld-
ed to enter the general nursery bust

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The present annual power bill of
the Rand Is approximately G3,750,0OO;
under the scheme to erect a central
generating station at vereeniging. the
amount would be about f2,42O.OO0.
1t is believed that the Rio Tinto,
Spain. copper deposits. were worked
by the Romans over 1000 years ago.
and by the Phoonicians before them
These deposits are most extensive in
the world.
Decrease Of speed In crushing nppa-
ratus decreases the production OF un-
lersized material but in so small n de-
gree that the advantage thus gained
Is disproportlonate to the disad-
vintage Of decreased capacity.
Decisions of the Land Department
hold that clay Is not locatable as a
mineral. on the ground that being
everywhere in the soil In great
or or less quantity. to permit its To-
cation as mineral land would be to
ieopardize the agricultural lands Of
The country.
The efficiency of water wheel lies
m the ease with which 1t receives the
Jet of the water and the complete
ness with which the discharge Is eff
fected. The nozzle has much to do
with this efficiency and increases the
aame IN proportion as the jet is sol
i'd, free from spray and rotating ac-
lion.
As there Is usually very little clear
ance space In compressor cylinder,
1t is not safe to allow much play in
The journals, for should the load go
off suddenly. the weight of the moving
parts not being cushioned by the
air, the piston may travel far enough
10 strike the cylinder heads and cause
some damage.
The use OF the steam shovel In min
Ing operations has until recently been
confined to the iron districts. Now,
however, the utility of this machine
is becoming recognized wherever
stripping operations must be carried
ON prior to mining, and where the ore
bodies are sufficiently extensive and
close to the surface to permit Of their
being handled In this way.
