EASTERN GROWERS
DISCUSS DISTRIBUTION

Just as the apple growers Of the
North Pacific states have been discuss
inp uroblems that confront them 10
their business. just so are the ir9lI
growers of the east engaged IN Ike ue-
liberatious. The following IS taken
from last weeks Packer.
The annual meeting Of the Eastern
Friut Growers Association here opened
its first DAYS session on Tuesday last
with about 100 delegates from Mary
land. Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsyl-
yania and Deleware in attendance. >.
l.. Iupton, of Winchester, Va, the
uresjdent, was in the chair and called
the session TO order. A report was
given by L. |. Oswald. OF CheWsVllie'
Md. the secretary. after which FTesl-
dent Iupton made his annual address.
Following a brief outline Of the his
tory of the organization which he sald
was started IA years ago by few irult
growers at Martlusburg, w. va, the
| sneaker said: Every fruit grower
! knows from actual experience the cha
otic condition into which the fruit trade
has fallen owing to the lack OF recog-
nized standards either in the size OF the
container or the quality ard character
fof the fruit therein. Practically every
grower and dealer in the east has his
own notion of what constitutes a No. !
or fancy grade of apple and 1t must be
conceded that under such conditions no
real progress can be made until some
sort Of legal standard, be It good or
/ bad. is established from which to estl-
mate values and by which to make the
enforced contracts.
The needs of the fruit grower IN
marketing his product, Mr.. Luptoh
brought out, to the end that the con
stantly increasing supply may be DIS
posed of at a living profit to the grower
and a fair price to the consumer, are:
Accurate, complete and up-to-the-
minute crop statistics throughout the
entire marketing season.
efficient governmental Inspection,
both at the shipping point and upon
arrival at destination.
Accurate and seasonal information
as to the normal cOnsumptive capacity
and market requirements and cOndl-
tions of all large markets and the
amount of fruit going to each.
Comprehensive, compulsory national
laws governing packing and packages.
Organized, intelligent effort to
eliminate all unnecessary service and
consequent expense of distribution from
producer and to consumer.

Sound Defjection,

Sound does not always travel through
the air in a straight line. 1t often
happens that two zones Of sound are
separated by zone Of silence. In 1908
an explosion OF dynamite on the rail-
road then building up the Jungfrau
was heard in two different zones. The
first extended through a radius of for
ty kilometers around the explosion.
The other began at distance Of 40
kilometers, the sound being unheard
in the intervening 100 kilometers. Sim
liar phenomena had been observed
elsewhere, and physicists tried to ex-
plain them by the refexion of the
sound waves from certain atmospheric
strata. Professor Fujiwhara, who has
studied such matters during volcanic
eruptiOns In Japan, asserts now that
these phenomena depend upon the di-
rectiOn of the wind In the middle strata
Of the atmosphere.

Why do you feel giddy when yOu
look down from the top Of the house
or even from the upstairs porch? Just
because it's so high, eh? That's true,
but it's only half the answer. You
know. OF course, that your power to
keep your balance on your feet de-
pends largely on your vision or sight
When you walk in the dark you stum-
BILE and bump against things because
you are not used to walking without
seeing. It's the same when you are
away up above the ground and cannot
see familiar things in their familiar
places. Your eyes play you tricks,
you seem to lose your balance. and
your head feels giddy and your steps
are uncertain. If you practice long
enough you can learn to walk without
seeing, but until you have learned that
lesson be careful when you climb to
high places. Wisconsin State Journal.

Beef In Boston In 1740.

A writer in the Yale Review. who
notes that in 1740 beef could be bought
in Boston at II cents a pound, seems
to imply that that price was all it was
worth. Invariably a steak for dinner
was heralded by the vigorous pounding
with the potato masher welded by the
stalwart arm Of the cook" The meat,
in fact, often came, he tells us, from
the carcass of "a COW that no longer
gave milk or a bull that had lost It's
bloom"
