WARS IN EUROPE
URGE WHEAT SOWING

The farmers of the United States
should prepare for the largest demand
for wheat in the history Of the world.
demand which they will be called
upon to supply in the summer, autumn
and winter of the next year.
True it is today that war in Europe
has created an extraordinary demand
for wheat at this time and prices are
soaring even while the crop Of the
United States is record breaker, but
it is now certain that the demand upon
the wheat yield of the United States
for the year 1915 will be far larger
than it is at this time.
Fourteen millions of men are in
arms in Europe, fully 100000 of these
taken from the fields of the agriculture
lists, millions of them taken from the
wheat-producing regions of Russia,
Austria-Hungary, France and Great
Britain, and there can not fail to be
an imense shortage of wheat next
year, as compared with the normal
productions of these countries.

APPLE GROWERS STRONGLY ADVISED
TO USE COLD STORAGE TO HOLD CROPS
Department of Agriculture Tells Of Method for Keeping APP
pies and Prolongng Marketing Period-Especialy
Useful in View of Interference with Euro
pean Market for American Fruit

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-In view
of the interference with the European
market and the large production of
American apples this season, special
lists of the department Of agriculture
call the attention of apple growers to
the advantages of cold storage for
steadying the market at harvest and
for lengthening the selling period.
Cutting of the market will result,
it is feared, in many thousands of bar
rels of good apples rotting in the or
chard or being disposed of at prices
which figure a net loss to the grower.
The following are the directions
given by the apple handling specialists
of the department for using cold stor-
age successfully in handling apples:
The proper function of cold storage
is to retard the ripening processes of
the fruit and the development of de-
cay organisms and skin blemishes.
The first responsibility for the keep
ing quality of his fruit rests with the
grower since it is his growing and
handling methods that largely deter
mine its vitality, freedom from disease
and general condition when stored.
Cold storage is not remedy, or a
restorative for poorly developed, weak,
imperfect fruit, but is the most eff
fective method of preserving the quail
ity, flavor and appearance possessed
by the fruit at time of picking.
