EXPERT GIVES HINTS
FOR PICKING APPLES

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Ore, Oct. 21.-"As the ultlm-
ate commercial worth of the apple
depends to a large extent on the time
and manner Of picking, growers can
well afford to give this subject care
full attention at this time" says Pro-
fessor w. S. Brown Of the college ex-
tension division.
The time of picking Is influenced
largely by the variety, climate, soil,
elevation, shipping distance and sea,
son. And It is equally true that the
time of picking influences greatly the
color, size, favor and keeping quail
ties of the fruit. The northwest has
always been celebrated for its highly
colored lustrous apples. Extra prices
have been obtained largely because
of this 1t is therefore natural for
growers to leave their fruit on the
trees as long as possible in order to
obtain highly colored specimens. All
other things being equal this highly
colored fruit will bring higher prices
than its paler brothers, but there is
danger in letting It hang too long
upon the trees. For while color, size
and flavor Of winter apples are i'm
proved, the keeping qualities are Of
ten impaired.
Many Oregon apples drop badly
on reaching maturity. Among them
are the Grimes Golden, Winesap,
Wagner and Wealthy. Others are
subject to core rot If left too long
on the tree In this class are in
cluded the Jonathan, Delicious and
Ortley. Other varieties, among them
the King and the Baldwin, break
down rapidly-'get soft'-when left
too long on the tree.
The grower should remember that
the red tints on apples change very
little after picking, while the yellow
and the green tints often deepen. For
these reasons he will usually find
it advisable to make more than one
picking Of the red and the striped
varieties, so that the fruits maturing
first will not be spoiled by waiting for
those which mature later.

riSIIGRATION PROBLEMS
ARE BEING CONSIDERED

Boston, Oct Il Under the direc-
tion of the Very Rev. Francis G. Kel-
ly, ID. d.. director of the Home Mis-
sion section, tie second days meet
ings of the second congress OF the
Catholic Missionaries Association of
America opened today In Symphony
hall, The immigration problems
which confront this government was
the topic of an address this afternoon
by Rev. p. j. Muldoon, d. d., bishop
OF Rockford, Ill. The immigration
question is looked upon by the asso-
citation as one oil the most important
problems OF the day from the church
point Of view. Following the address.
many members OF the association, In
informally discussing the topic, de-
clared in favor OF more stringent laws
which would prohibit the wholesale
immigration Of foreigners, which
laxity Of the present laws permit.
They urged laws similar to those OF
Canada, and declared that the law
should contain a section which would
send the majority OF the immigrants
westward as colonlzers and develop
ers OF the soil rather than let them
remain in the overcrowded cities, as
is now the case.

ANOTHER FISH STORY.

There are as many ways to catch

A fellow who invents a sure method

says a writer in the Outlook.
/ once met a grizzled old potterer
on a Prince Edward Island river in
Canada. He boasted a broad-tailed,
pot-bellied first settler that must have
weighed not less than five pounds.
What did he take?" l asked, glanc.

of the angler.
Take? Why l took him!"

A certain haunted house down in
Georgia was held in terror by all the
negroes in the vicinity except Sam,
who bravely declared that for 81 he
would sleep there all night. A purse
was raised and Sam was told to carry
out his end Of the bargain and to call
in the morning for the money. When
morning came no trace could be found
of Sam; the house contained nothing
but the evidence of a hurried depar-
ture. A search party was organized,
but without result.
Finally, four days later, Sam, cover
ed with mud, came slowly walking
down the road.
"Hi, dere, Niger !" yelled a bystand.

Where there's more Of reaping and
