Wrapping Fruit IN paoer.

Any method Of handling apples that
hastens the ripening after the fruit Is
packed shortens the period Of CONNER
cial value Any treatment that checks
the ripening prolongs the marketing
period The value Of wrapping apples
IN paper has been tested In both sea
sons by the experiment station Of the
Iowa College of Agriculture and Me
chanic Arts. The comparison was
made with duplicate quantities of fruit
that were grown and handled in the
same way. One lot was not wrapped.
and with the other each apple was
wrapped in imprinted newspaper
With some varieties like the Gano,
Roman Stem. Salome. Winesap and
other hard. late ripening sorts the
advantage Of wrapping In paper was
not very apparent. But with tender
varieties like the Clemens Jonathan
ard Wealthy wrapper was a dis
tinct advantage In extending the life
of the fruit, preserving Its natural
brightness and lessening the amount
of decay 4 wrapper serves to reduce
the bruising that may result from poor
packing or from rough handling In
transportation It retards shriyeling
and adds to the value Of the fruit by
preserving its attractive appearance
The wrappers cost about 20 cents per
thousand for newspaper by IL
inches.

nothing TO comfort her.

old man was sitting behind a clump Of
trees, studying some scraps Of paper,
he heard voices on the road near by.

A Foreign Soverci1n Responsible Fol

So long as the sovereign himself pre-

there was no obvious necessity for CIV

10 take part IN the deliberations of the
cahn@t. II has been said. indeed. by
modern statesman that, with doubt
f1l exception in the time of George
Ill, no sovereign has been present at
meeting Of the cabinet since Anne.
The change like SO many other mod
itications which have been introduced
into the British constitution. was the
result OF purely accidental circum-
stance. George l. could not speak the
English language It was clearly use
less for monarch to be present at the
meetings of bis councillors when be
did not understand the language IN
which their deliberations were carried
on. But when the sovereign was thus
necessarily and habitualiy absent from
the cabinet it became requisite that
some minister should be chosen who
should preside ut the meetings and
report its decisions to the king Thus
the accession Of d foreigner who could
not converse In English led to one Of
the most momentous changes IN the
constitution. The act OF settlement
had given England a foreign sover-
