about one-fourth of the total fruit, or
one-third of the fruit actually picked
is saved as perfect fruit by spraying.

that but one apple In one hundred or

The orchard owner is chiefly inter-
ested In the effect of spraying on the
amount of picked fruit free from
worms. In most cases the value OF
spraying was due to reducing the
amount of wormy windfalls, or, in 9TH
er words. preventing worminess so
that the fruit remained on the. tree.
On the unsprayed trees an average Of
26 per cent. of the total fruit dropped
as wormy, and 1871 per cent. was
wormy when picked.
In the four orchards in 1908. about
20 per cent. of the total fruit was
wormy drops on the unsprayed trees
and five per cent. on the sprayed
trees.
An average of all the sprayed plots
shows that of the total crop of fruit
on any tree, Al per cent. drops as
wormy and Al per cent. Is wormy

Subtracting the percentage which
drops plus the percentage which is
wormy when picked from 100, gives
the percentage of the total crop which
is picked free from worms, which is

Firehook BRINGS Death.

An engine firehook that he carried
over his shoulder caused the death
by electric shock of Charles E..
Spayde, fireman on the New Haven
railroad, near New York city. Spayde,
whose home was in New Haven, was
firing on a freight train bound for
Boston. Passing through New
Rochelle the firehook he had been u.s.
ing tumbled out of the engine. The
train was running very slowly and he
leaped off and picked up the rod.
Climbing on car he walked toward
the tender, carrying the rod on his
shoulder. He forgot about the over
head wires. heavily charged. The rod
touched one of them and the current
shot through his body, killing him in
-stantly.
He rolled from the car to the
tracks and the train cut off his legs.
Railroad men who ran up found his
clothing on fire, ignited by the cleo
tricity. The coroner found the upper
part of Spaydes body had been
burned almost black.

found nine days afterward in Flushing
bay. Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Rivers.

to learn whether the boy met with
foul play Civic organizations offered
rewards and detectives have been
working.
Mrs. Rivers was informed that her
son was with five other children when
he was drowned and that he lost his
life through childish prank. II the
story is true five children carried the

while the entire community was
aroused.
Aida Rivers, ten-year-old sister of
the drowned boy, told her mother that
Irene Howell, five years old, Of No.
Ga Washington street, said she had
seen Willie drown and she had caused
his death without meaning to do so.
This was the story Irene Howell
told Mrs. Rivers:
II was with Willie when he was
drowned. So were Anna Hayden. her
brothers Sylvester and Thomas and
Ida Stocking. First we went to pick
violets. Then we went to the ice
house docks at Lawrence street and
Broadway. We were chased away
from there and went to the Jackson
avenue dump. We found an old boat
in the creek tied to a post and went
on it to play.

and the boat rocked and threw him
into the creek. The rest of us were
frightened and ran away"
What did Willie say when he fell
into the water?" asked Mrs. Rivers.
He cried Mammal Mammal" an

she and the other children had kept

She took Irene to the Rivers home

Irene then said that she had been

drowned, but did not go to the creek
with him.
