Cold Storage of Apples.

By far the larger part of the apples
grown in Iowa are of the fall varieties.
These do not keep we'll in ordinary
storage. AS result the market is
glutted during the fall, while when
winter comes apples must be ship ped
In at high prices. For several years
the Horticultural Society of the Iowa
experiment station has been expert
menting with different methods of
handling apples in cold storage.
These experiments have shown that
all apples when handled properly can
be kept all winter in cold storage.
The cost of cold storage is not very
high, and by this means the season
for homegrown apples may be extend
ed until we'll along toward spring.
The results of experiments along this
line. together with full directions for
handling apples in cold storage are
given in Bulletin No. 1O8 Of the Iowa
experiment station. Copies may be
obtained by addressing Prof. G. f.
Curtiss, Director, Ames, Iowa.

trees that the hands were picking
when I left. l never saw finer lot
of apples than we're on those trees.
Most of them were very red. We
we're getting 81. rs and S1.65 per box
for these apples. They we're bought
for the Boston market. We sold them
delivered at our shipping station.
Nearly all the high grade apples in
the Yakima valley have been bought
for the eastern markets, New York,
Philadelphia and Boston. 1t report
ed that nearly all the Wenatchee val
ley apples are sold to parties from
the east. Surely apples of a high
grade will be scarce here next spring.

Gentlemen: In connection with
the articles on fruit tree planting by
Rev. Walden, wish to say that for
several years past [ have had under
consideration the ACCESSIBILITY OF
digging the holes early in the fall,
before the fall and winter rains and
SHOWS commence to fall. These tree
holes should be dug considerable
larger as to depth and diameter than
required both for the reasons Of par
TALLY filing by crumbling earth dur
ing the interval of digging and
spring planting, and Of gathering
more rain and snow fall. AS early in
spring time as the earth is dry enough
to work, planting can be commenced,
By this process we have the vast ma
jority of water precipitation for the
twelve months imprisoned. have
not been able to carry out the above
suggestion to the extent of proving
results, but 1 believe it Of inestimable
benefit. | have never heard it sug-
gested, and if it is new or but little
known I would be pleased if you
would place it before the public.
Respe- fully,

weather will soon pay for the racks. j
Many farmers will let the steer
trample 500 worth of feed into the
mud rather than spend $50 for feed

grower as we'll as the farmers in other

valuable, cannot take the place of

Some man, according to the daily
papefS, has made a wonderful dis
covery and what is that? He claims
that he can make potatoes grow on
the tops as we'll as on the roots. This
report illustrates the old adage that
"a little knowledge is dangerous
thing. l would not be afraid to
offer 500 each for every potato any
man can grow on the roots. l know
some one may throw up his hands
and say, "Why. potatoes all grow on
the roots, don't they grow under the
ground?'' To this last question, [
would say, yes, they grow under the
ground but not on the roots. Let me
make quotation from Percival s
great work." Agricultural Botany"
page AL, as follows: "That the po-
tatoes are thickened pieces Of stems
is seen from study of their origin ;
the rhizomes of which they are mere
ly the ends, arise in a normal manner
in the axis of leaves below the soil
and though they occur under ground
they have no connection with the root
system of the plant. :" 1t is well
known to many persons that you can
cover potatoe vines with straw and
grow a crop of tubers on top of the
ground. This wonderful discovery,
then, turns out that this man has just
discovered half of the truth, we'll
known to botanists, that potatoes
always grow on the tops and not on
the roots at ALL Anyone who looks
into his work on botany will find
that the potatoe is classed as peren-
NAL and not as an annual. In plant
ing the tubers we are simply using
part of the last years crop and so the
plant is carried on from year to year.

trees that are very large having been
planted in the orchard IA years. From
one of these trees the pickers claim
that they picked 80 boxes of apples
Now, it is not claimed that 80 boxes
we're packed but without a doubt
there we're at least 35 boxes packed
from this one tree. My sons think
that 40 boxes must have been packed
from this tree. We did not keep the
apples separate in the packing house,
so we cannot say definitely as to the
number packed. But think of 30
boxes from one tree worth on an
average, this year, $500 per box or
SO. 90 from one tree. To use a slang
phrase "thats going some" Not all

We have hundreds of letters equally

money-or in other words, if you want
your money to buy more value than
you have ever been offered, give heed
to this notice and send for a trial order
at least. If you want large order Tor
a small order either) out catalOg will
give full information and quote prices
that will get your order by return mail
if YOU want fruit trees. We have all
the standard varieties of trees and few
fancy spec1alties of our own propaga-
tion which have won distinction.
We challenge the most critical in
spection and comparison on the follow
ing points:-absolute freedom from dis
ease, adaptation to climate, and size.
Our aim is to ship what you order,
true to name and no substitution. Have
you had trouble that way?
If you want the best apple, cherry,
pear, peach, plum, apricot, prune,

shrubs, send us your order now and save

DEN MARK.

Continued investigation of Alberti's 8
affairs now bring to light the fact that
he also conducted a series of swindles
while serving his country as it's min
lister of foreign affairs. The investi-
cations show that his lots at the
Ordrup race tracks, where also the
AGRICULTURAL lottery is located, were
valued at only 10000 crowns, but were
sold by Alberti for 10000 crowns
When he served the government he
arranged that the taxes on property
in that vicinity should be placed SO
high in order that he should be able to
sell at such an enormous profit.
Denmark sent provisions and money
amounting to about 100000 crowns to
the Italian earthquake suffers. AS
soon as the Danish king learned of the
awful disaster he cabled the Italian
king and asked him in what way Den
mark could be of service. The reply
came that they needed provisions and
these were Immediately sent by means
of one OF the warships, which was
soon loaded with provisions for the suf
ferers
