SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE COMMISSION

At a meeting Of the agricultural
faculty Of the Oregon Agricultural
College on November 80, the request
of President Roosevelt's Country
Life Commission for suggestions that
might aid the commission In making
its report was discussed and the fol-
lowing statement prepared:
If federal appropriations are to be
made for improving social and eco
nomic conditions In rural communi-
ties, 1t Is recommended, first, that
they be made to existing high
and normal schools for the purpose
OF maintaining courses of instruc-
tion in agricultural and domestic
arts,and including business methods
and home sanitation, 80 that all pub
lie school teachers may have the
training necessary for teaching those
subjects In the public schools.
Second. that in order to secure the
full efficiency Of the agricultural COL
leges and experiment stations, the
government should cooperate with
the states in agricultural extension
work, this work to be under the d.
rect supervision Of the agricultural
colleges. With an adequate appro-
priation a comprehensive system of
travelling agricultural schools, farm
ers' institutes and free circulating H.
oraries could be maintained, and
publications issued for free distribu-
tion so that all important discover
les Of the experiment stations could
be given to every farmer Of every
state.

At a recent meeting of the White

the question of good roads was dis

SUCCESSFUL FRUIT
WRAPPING MACHINE

A fruit wrapping machine has
been put In operation in California
which requires practically no atten-
ton and automatically wraps the
fruit. The fruit rolls down a slight
incline to the operator, turning
slowly over as 1t approaches him,
and giving him an opportunity to
remove defective specimens. The
fruit is lifted and placed stem up
in rubber cups, which carry 1t to a
mechahicm operating much as the
human hands. It is carried to the
paper being cut and printed from a
roll. A twist Of the paper is made
over the stem ends, thus cushioning
them to protect against injury. II
the machine becomes clogged II is
stopped by a clutch operated by cleo
tricity. A counting attachment reg
listers the number wrapped.

that the land was to be sold to ac-
