POINTS ON WRAPPING FRUIT
Hoped That Small independent Ship
pers, as Well az Large Associa-
tIons, VIII See Benefits.

my r. M. WINSLOW. Victoria. b. CO.
In the fruit-packing, grading and
marketing there Is continual progress.
Almost all No. British Columbia ap-
pies are now wrapped. 1t Is to be
hoped that small independent shippers,
as we'll as large associations, will see
the advantage of this practice, so that
this season all our best fruit will go
to the markets wrapped in paper
The advantages of wrapping are as
follows:
l. Wrapping gives more finished
appearance to the. package. 1t pre-
sumes high-grade article, SO finding
II reader sale and a steady market and
s higher price.
2. Wrapping improves the keeping
quality, preventing disease spreading
from fruit to fruit.
3. The paper serves as cushion,
preventing bruising, and so pro'onging
the life and improving the appearance.
4. Wrapping makes an elastic but
firm pack, much less liable to shift,
and much quicker to put up.
8. 1t protects the fruit from changes
in temperature and absorbs surplus
moisture.
The cost of paper for wrapping is
almost saved by the weight of fruit
which the paper displaces. Expert
enced packers do as quick or quicker
work wrapping than without it. There
is very little foundation for any o0jec-
ton to wrapping, save that there is
quite knack in 1t, which some pack.
ers seem unable to grasp.

FALL PLANTING IS ADVISED
Tree Is Capable of Responding to Call
for Quick Establishment Of New
Root System.

(By PROF WRITTEN, Missouri)
1t seems to me that the tree is cap
able of responding to the call for quick
establishment of new root system
when 1t is tranSplanted in the fall and
that the available plant food, which is
stored and carried over in stable CON
dition in the roots, is partly used III
the autumn to meet the demand for Il
new ROOT system or for the healing OF
wounds.
Observations made on spring trans
planted trees showed that they do not
quickly begin to make new roots in
spring. They are out in full leaf and
apparently making good progress
above ground before any root growth
could be detected below ground. 1t
seemed as if the readily available
stored food in the trees was carried to
the growing points above ground and
utilized to make new growth there
more readily than it was carried to the
wounds of the roots, to make calluses
or to make new roots Root growth
did not begin in spring transpanted
trees until the soil got quite warm
somewhat late in the season. In fact,
root growth below ground did not be-
gin to form abundantly until June.
about two months after the trees had
been transplanted. Pairs of trees
taken up each month during the sum
mer showed those transplanted in
autumn had much larger root growth
than those transplanted in spring
Trees transplanted during the fall OF
1909 made much better growth than
did corresponding trees transpanted
during the spring of 1910

FOWLS SUITABLE FOR FARM
Old Farmer Says He Has Never Seen
Anything Better Than Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes.

Mary farmers have hobbies and pet
tb aories which sometimes bring them
plenty of experience" but as a rule
they lock at everything along utility
lines, says Farm News. Some farm
ers have been looking for the best
farmers fowl, have bred almost all
breeds in existence, and yet have to
confess to failure along these lines.
At times he thinks that he has the
best bird cornered only to find that
1t Is still at large. A buzz-saw is all
right for the purpose for which it was
intended, but it can't be used for
shaving a mans beard. All these
things are very practical in their way,
but making them answer for ell pur-
poses is very much like corrallirs a
cyclone, sor ething no man has sue
ceeded IN doing.
One person wants fowls for the pro-
duction of eggs, and, therefore, will
want the breed whose heus prove to
be the best layers. Another wants
the best table fowl, and an entirely
different breed will be selected. The
third man wants a fowl with a Ger.
tain fancy feather and pays fancy
price for it. A farmer living severa.
miles from town cares very little for
fowls of any particular kind, yet he
