HORTICULTURE
APPLES PACKED FOR MARKET
Every individual Piece Of Fruit
Should Be Carefully Laid In

Never ship bruised fruit. because
every bruise means quick decay and
rotting fruit never brings its cost on
the market. Some growers harvest
their fruit by shaking 1t onto the
ground on beds of straw placed
around the trees or knocking II of
with poles and clubs. Fruit gathered
in this way is almost worthless.
Fruit should be picked in bags or
baskets slung around the pickers neck

and every individual fruit should be
laid. not thrown. into the receptacle.
Growers of fine oranges have learned
that even the slight abrasions made
by the pickers finger nails will cause
decay. and in many orchards the pick
ers are provided with gloves to pre-
vent injury OF this kind.
Next to proper picking comes grad
ing. and many growers consider this
the most Important operation in pre-
pairing fruit and vegetables for mar

and less expense for sorting and grad

REX DENHAM'S LUCK
By CLAUDINE SISSON

II was ten o'clock in the evening.
and Rex Denham was strolling about
the streets and smoking and thinking.
He had landed from an ocean liner
that day He had been two years
abroad to forget things. He aske I
himself II he had succeeded. and he
shook his head and sighed.
There was q woman in question.
When men lose money they curse.
When man loses the woman he loves
he signs. It's not a matter for even
his most confidential friends. He
must fight 1t out alone.
No; he had not forgotten. She
probably had. just as thousands Of
other women had. Had he been too
hasty In speaking the words that
brought on the quarrel?
IF you charge me with that Lever

said.
When a lover thinks he has a rival
1t is really worse than II he knows It
to be fact and can meet him. Was
she a coquette? Was she flirting :

whispered, that she gloried In break

She was tnlrty feet ahead OF him when
a man sprang out of a dark doorway
and seized her and grabbed at the
poor little purse in her hand. At her
first scream for help the smoker
leaped forward. He reached over the
shoulder OF the struggling girl and
grasped the man by the throat and
then struck with his cane. The re-
leased victim reiterated to the curb
