COMPARING or CONDITIONS
Aaronomy Department, College Of
Agriculture, University Of

In comparing the yield Of different
varieties Of corn, too much emphasis
should not be laid on the results OF
one season. 1t shows the comparative
results Of different varieties under one
set Of conditions only. and these may,
noa be representative Of the average
season. with other conditions fhe
order Of the yields may be markedly
changed.
This has been frequently observed
m tests at the Missouri Experimental
station. Undoubtedly one Of the most
important conditions makins a
most vital period in the growth Of the
corn Is during the time when the ear

moisture at this time may have q
marked effect on the yield ~ - for
this a that the late summer
drought does 90 much damage, and
naturally the drier the soil the greater

a remarkable loveliness Of features
and complexion with q certain
voluptuous elegance, they compare
with the dignined. graceful. insolent
Kabyle women very much as the

Even the humblest peasant girl,
grinding the family -four between the
upper and the neither stone In the
doorway of a mud howell, possesses a
distinction of form and feature which
would attract attention in any assem-
blage. With all her dignity. however,
the Kabyle woman does not rise SUI
perior to the Africans fondness for
personal adornment, being so laden
with bracelets, anklets and necklaces
OF gold, silver, turquoise and coral
that when she moves she sounds hke
an approaching f~our-in-hand. Her
approach is likewise heralded by the
reek Of an exotic and almost over
towering perfume, which. like the
celebrated parfum de Bey Of Tunis
is composed Of nearly a score o.
blended scents, the odor changing
from carnation to heliotrope, to rose
to violet, and so on, every few min

particular stage of growth at which.
the dry spell occurs is important In
affecting the crop. frequently an
early variety will pass the crucial

the reverse is true, SO that the early

Thus 1t may be seen that two or

Another factor is the power Of some
varieties to resist drought. Hogue's
Yellow Dent, which m from the

The time to pick apples depends
upon the variety and the character Of
the seasoA. Apples which are picked
early usually keep letter than those
which n picked late. Early rsJxed
fruit has a tendency to shrivel and
become tough from loss Of moisture.
1t also lacks color.
If allowed to remain on the trees
longer the apples take on a better
color, but are more liable to rot in
storage. 1t should be borne In mind,
however; that II apples are picked
moderately early they will continue to
color up after being gathered. 1t Is
usually best to pick them as early as
possible without their being liable to
shrivel after the picking, ever though
their best color has not been reached.
For general storage the mistake Of
picking too late more frequently oc-
ours than that of picking too early.
If apples are to be stored In an ordi-
nary cellar. they should be picked
earlier than if they are to be put in
cold storage, for the reason that in
the cellar the breaking down process
of the fruit goes on much more rapid
ly during winter than it does in the
low temperature of cold storage build
ings. M
Certain varieties should be picked
earlier than others. Generally speak
ing, those which ripen earliest should
be gathered first, and the latest keep
ers should be the last to be taken
from the trees. The Jonathan, for ex-
ample, usually should be picked a
month earlier than the Ben Davis.
The Jonathan and York should be
picked before they have reached their
full color, which Ia usually some time
in September. Grimes Golden should
be picked when the earliest specimens
begin to assume a yellow color and
when their seeds begin to turn black.
Ben Davis and Gano are usually gath
cred in October when they have taken
on good color, and the later keepers
like Ingram, Genet, Winesap and Clay
ton may be allowed to remain on the
trees even a little later.
In gathering apples they should be
handled SO as to receive as few
bruises as possible. They should
never be shaken or knocked from the
trees, but picked singly in the hand,
placed in a one-half bushel basket
well padded with burlap, and handled
rs little as possible before they are

bruises Of the skin be avoided, but the
natural wary color OF the skin should,
30 far as possible, be retained intact.
A cool place in an open shed or in
the shade Of trees should be selected
for packing. Apples should be cooled,
as much as possible before they are
put into the barrels. If barreled up
and put into storage hot, they are
very liable to decay badly before the
mass becomes cool through.
In barreling, two layers Of apples
should be placed with stems toward

quently shaken down into place by
lifting the barrel up and down and
shaking 1t sideways SO that during
the filing process the apples will be
packed as tight as possible.
When the barrel is nearly full, two
more layers of headers should be
placed in SO the last layer will stand
about one inch above the chine of the
barrel. The clamp should then be
adjusted and the head placed down
into place to retain the fruit tight in
the barrel. If fruit is loosely packed
SO that it will move about during
shipment or handling, the apples be
