In view of the Introduction OF eggs

OF fruit trees and shrubbery from Eu-
ropean countries this season. as well
rs the European and San Jose scale
into localities not heretofore infested,
there is suggested the wisdom-the
Imperative necessity-of a passage of
such laws by congress as will provide
for the closest inspection at port of
entry Of all imported nursery stock
This will work no hardship on foreign
houses that are careful and whose
stock is clean. while 1t will mean a
thorough fumigation or burning of all
shipments that are infested. The law
might well apply also to all interstate
nursery shipments. This much pro-
lection is dive tue horticultural inter-

THE APPLE HARVEST.

Next in Importance to raising good
crop of apples which are relatively
free from scab and worm ut maturity
is that of picking and, packing the
fruit and marketing it in such way
that the best prices shall be realized
for it. The demands of the markets
to which one is tributary will largely
determine whether the apples should
be packed in boxes or barrels. Boxed
fruit should be of good size and color
and the bulk of 1t grade first class.
More time is required In boxing than
barreling. while as to cost Of package
it comes to about the same per bushel
of fruit packed in either way In the
packing of the fruit hand work only
should be allowed, while the best re-
ceptacle to pick in is the half bushe!
basket with wire bale. These can be
rugged with wire hook for fastening
to limbs so as to prevent spills. The
most satisfactory plan when selling to
foreign house is to have their repre-
sentative in the orchard 50 that all
the fruit may be inspected and ap-
proved as packed and not turned
down because mot as represented"

at the tender ~ mercy of the fellow
at the other end of the line. If there
is any doubt at all as to the straight

fore 1t is billed out, and If there
doubt it would be well not to consir-'

best to sell the orchard at such and
such a figure. apples on trees, the
owner being relieved of the job Of
picking. In any event. however he
will do well to be in the orchard when
the picking is done and see that the
trees are given considerable treatment.
In his own orchard the writer has
found 1t advantageous in getting both
color and size to make two pickings
on trees that were heavily loaded. the
ripest fruit being taken off near the
top and on the sunny side of the tree.
and the rest being cleaned up few
days later. Color means much in
any established apple market, and as
q rule buyers are willing to pay an
extra price IL fruit excels in this re-
spect. For this reason 1t is we'll to
allow the apples to remain on the trees
and get the brightest color possible
consistent with firmness and safe
handling. The bane of the apple har.
vest is the rough and careless picker.
and as soon as he Is located ne should

jured four times what his wages
amount to. In the cleanup after the
salable fruit has been disposed of
lot of the culls may be peddled out,
sold to evaporators or canning fac
tories. and the remainder made into
vinegar. The owner feels much better
satisfied with the seasons work If
there Is not whole lot of fruit going
to rot under the trees.
The chief drawback with this going
to law over Insignificant matters. aside
from aggravating the already strained
relations existing between the parties
interested, is that 1t usually costs from
ten to q hundred times more to get
satisfaction by process Of law than the
sum In dispute amounts to. Thus in
the vast majority of cases having is
neither prudent nor profitable.
