The Keeping of Apples.

In bulletin of the New Hamp-
shire station F. w. Morse brings
out in a very striking manner
the fact that the steady loss of
weight which fruits such as
apples undergo even under most
favorable conditions in storage
i S due to process of breathing
similar to that occurring in
animals, whereby. oxygen is
taken in and carbon dioXide
given out.
Since apples and other fruits
have no body heat to MAINTAIN,
the breathing process is not so
active as in animals, and they
may last months after being
picked from the tree. Yet there
is a steady, continuous loss in
weight as the weeks go by,
although fruit is sound and
firm.
The breathing or respiration is
stated to be partly a chemical
reaction, and in apples, like
most chemical reactions in the
laboratory, it grows more rapid
as the fruit becomes warmer and
is slowed down when the fruit is
cooled" Professor Morse's ex-
periments indicate that tn e s e
chemical changes "take place
from four to six times as fast at
summer temperatures as in cold
storage, and from two to three
times as fast in cool cellars as in
cold storage.
There is a practical application
of this law to be made to the
care Of fruit, especially at apple
picking time.
IL is frequently the case that
warm days with temperatures of
70 degrees Fahrenheit occur i n
October, and sometimes continue
for a considerable period. Fancy
apples intended for long keeping
in cold storage be cooled as soon
as possible and kept cool. The
breathing process is at the ex-
pense of cell contents and must
weaken the keeping qualities as
it goes on. And this destructive
action is from four to six times
as fast out of cold storage as in
side it.
Another fact in connection
with the respiration is important.
1t is not stopped in cold storage,
but simply slowed. Apples can
not be kept indefinitely, but |
keep about twice as long in cold
storage as in a cool cellar.

Will William H. Taft be the
twenty-sixth or twenty-seventh
President of the United States
is a question interesting some
idle minds, as it has every time a
new President has been elected
since the administration of Ben
jamin Harrison. Cleveland at
his first election was the twenty
second President. All are agreed
as to this. Was he the twenty
fourth President on his second
election, after an interval of one
term? If so, then Mr.. Taft will
be the twenty-seventh President;
if not, then he will be the twenty
sixth. But if George Washing
ton was the first President, even
through his second term, why
should Mr.. Cleveland be the
twenty-fourth President in his
second term when he was the
twenty-second President in his
first term? Let the idle ones pass
on to some other equally harm
less post-election subject. Mr..
Taft will be the twenty-sixth
President. Springfield Republi-
can.

Not SO very many years ago Speak

have come to billion dollar sessions,

which they originated. The two re-

over the amount carried last year
increase runs from 100000, added to
the amount of the Indian bill. to the

ormond Beach In Pressing Need of
Storm So 1t VIII Be Put
In Condition for
Racers

ORMOND, Fla, Feb. 29.-Ormond
Beach is in pressing need of a violent
storm to put 1t in condition. A heavy
rain or a few hours smart blow from
tho northeast would do the trick. AS
the beach has been, all the season, 1t
has been difficult even for touring cars
to negotiate the stretch. In fact, long
time observers say it is a dozen years
or more since the beach has held rough
so late in IT, winter. Even the most
pessimistic declare however, a change
is near and that early in March will
find the sands in ~ood shape.
The fear is not over the state of the
racing surface, but rather over the
number of entries and their materiali-
zation. The feeling In Florida is that
the Automobile Club of America has
overestimated its following in mad
year. Conditions in racing, too, are
steadily shifting, amateur drivers, who
lent interest to the earlier Ormond
contests, having almost passed from
the game. 1t is no secret that the
Florida East Coast Automobile asso =
citation has no love for the A. c. A.,
especially since the latter insisted upon
complete control of the affair. Upon

To look at Ormond Beach today a
stranger would not think it possible
for race to be held there within a
month. 1t could not be much rougher
nor softer The much dreaded red
sand is not greatly in evidence, al
though it is thinly scattered over the
back stretches. The conditions, how
ever are not much worse than those
of last January, when a smart thunder
shower, twenty-four hours before the
races were to start, put the beach in
good shape that lasted through the
week. There was brisk wind a few
days since over the beach, but it was
not from the right direction to ac-
complish just what was wanted.
