Since the retirement of M Delcasse
M. Viviani has been handling the du-

those of the Primate. His resigna-

The Professors authority for this

and his resignation was followed by
the collapse of the entire Cabinet.
Aristide BRAND, Socialist, was
offered the premiership by President
Poincare, and Immediately took steps
to form new Ministry.
The resignation of Premier Vivian,

first being that of Foreign Minister
Theophile Delcasse, who resigned on
October ii. -.

Minister of War to General Gallieni,

the Government, but he will be with

PROPERLY PACKED APPLES COM,
MAND TOP PRICES.
Growers Should Make An Especial HI.
fort To Pack This Year Accord
ing To Approved Method.
8. B. SHAW,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

Well-grown, carefully packed apples
seldom go begging on any market. As
a rule, it is the wormy, diseased, poor
y colored fruit, packed in careless.
haphazard manner that has a depress'
ing effect on market prices.
Before beginning to pack, consider
the kind of packages best suited to the
variety, and for which there is the
greatest demand on the market to
which you expect to consign. Many
growers do not consider the relation
which the package bears to the selling
value of their fruit. On some markets
there is good demand for fancy Stay
man, Grimes, Jonathan and similar
varieties packed in boxes, while other
in barrels. Such varieties as Wine
sap, York. Ben Davis, etc., can best
be marketed in barrels on most mark.
cts.
Do not attempt to pack more than
one grade in boxes. Select the choicest
fruit for this package, using that which
is entirely free from blemishes OF all
kinds and of the highest color. Market
all other grades in barrels.
In barrel-packing face with the
stems to the head. Fruit used for fac
ing should not misrepresent the con
tents of the barrel, either in size, color
or quality. Shake the barrel frequent
ly during the filling to insure a tight
pack. Place the top layer stems up,
extending about an inch above the
ends of the slaves. Corrugated paper
pads can be used to good advantage
at both ends Of the barrel. No mat
ter what package is used or the grade
packed, have each container filled with
the same size and quality Of fruit
throughout. Mark each package &C
cordingly.
Improved methods of production and
packing will make marketing easier
and more profitable. The Extension
Service of the Maryland Agricultural
College is giving detailed information,
through demonstrations or otherwise,
to growers in Maryland who want to
know more about grading and pack
ing apples II there is an Agricultural
Agent in your county, get in touch with
him and arrange for packing demon
stration in your community. Where
there is no County Agent the Maryland
Agricultural College arranges for the
holding of such demonstrations at the
request of local growers.

"In any country district an enter
prising teacher may start this work.
Where there is a county superinten-
dent Of schools it Is a simple matter to
enroll the boys between ten and eigh-
teen years into a club. AS soon as
the names reach Washington through
the State Agent in charge of Boys
Club Work, Uncle Sam has that boy
under close observation. He has
touched them with a magic hand. He
sends text books on corn, apple, potato,
tomato and alfalfa culture, and blanks
to guide in the chosen activity day by
day, and for a record of practical sue
cess which will be carefully scrutinized
at harvest time.
Uncle Sam wishes every school dis
trict to start someone of these clubs,
to have several in every township, and
a great many in each county. Each
weekend there should be gathering of
all boys and girls in the school, with
their parents, if possible. They should
have talks, debates and discussions.
Once a year the whole county should
assemble.
The material profit of this great in
dustrial university is not it's most i'm
portant phase, in Uncle Sans view.
He wishes the boy and the girl to re-
main in the country and save us from
starvation. He can show them all that
there is peace, civilization, and happi-
ness assured without challenging
doubtful destiny in a great city. SO
not only must the pupil raise fine,
abundant crop, but it must be achieved
with economy and the winner must be
able to write as well. In all clubs
there is a simple marking system of
100 points.
In the corn clubs, the following table
represents the required measures of
excellence:
Greatest yield per acre. ......... 80
Best showing of profit on invest
ment oO
Best exhibit Of ten ears. ........ 20
Best written history or account,
entitled, "How l made My Crop" 20
Total score ................. IUO
Good citizenship is another aim.
This great aggregation Of clubs, with
its membership of quarter Of mil
lion last year has one motto, ITO
make the best better!" 1t has been
done in Maryland and in every State
where these activities have been estab-
lished. Wherever this work is under
taken, the members of these clubs will
be very closely supervised, through
correspondence from headquarters or
through the personal visits of local
demonstrators cooperating with the
teacher who organizes the club"

wedding out the drones.
1t has been observed that the high
layers invariably have much lighter
colored shanks than the others. This
is explained by the fact that the hen
uses up the coloring matter from her
body and puts it into the eggs. OF
course, if the hock has been fed on
highly colored feed. like yellow corn,
green grass, etc., the shanks will not
be so light colored. The heavy layer,
however, will have much paler shanks
than the others.
1t has also been noted that almost
invariably the heavy laying hen is the
last to moult In the fall and her feath.
ers nearly all drop out at one time.
Such q hen has been tending strictly
to business and almost forgot to get
her new clothes. More recently it has
been observed that the ear lobes of
white ear lobed breeds are much less
yellow in heavy laying bird.
1t Is also pretty definitely known
that hen which lays well into the
fall is apt to have been rather heavy
layer all during the year.
Taking ali these things together, We
can get . pretty good line on the in
dividuais Of the flock by making obser
vations in October and November
Hens that have pale shanks, are moult
Ing late and have little yellow in the
ear lobes as compared with the rest
of the birds in the pen, are pretty sure
to have been the heavy layers.
