PROTECT ALL YOUNG
TREES FROM RABBITS
Tarred Building Paper Tied
Around Trees Wlll Afford Abso-
lutte Protection.

It IL time to think about protecting
the young trees from rabbits. In the
editors boyhood days we attempted
to do this by applying various prepare.
tons to the tree trunk. but we do not
recall any that were effective. Last
winter we saw q young orchard In
which tarred building paper, costing
90 to rs cents per $50 feet, had been
tied around the trees, aifording abso-
lutte protection. Cut In strips, wrap
about. the tree, and tie with tarred
twine. The tar is repellant not only
to rabbits, but to mice and insects.
and the trunks Of trees protected In
this way will not be injured. This
may be left on during the season II
SO desired. The paper may remain
around the trunk for two or three
years without injury.-Kansas Farm.

SWEATING FRUIT IS
VIOLATION OF Law
Food and Drugs Act Prevents In.
terstate Shipment Of Immature
Oranges and Grapefruit.
Ffom tie United states Department Of
Agricuiture)

Ufom tie United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Growers and shippers Of oranges
and grapefruit are making INQUIRIES
Of the United States department Of
agriculture In reference to what ac-
ton will be taken by the department
during the coming season toward pre.
venting the shipment into interstate
commerce Of immature citrus fruits
which have been artificially colored
BY sweating. The officials in charge
Of the enforcement Of the food and
drugs act state they will be guided
In their action by the position Of the
department previously announced, to
the effect that the shipment In inter.
state commerce Of immature oranges
and grapefruit, which are sweated eli.
ther before shipment or en- route, is a
violation Of the food and drugs act
when the sweating conceals inferior
ity by making unrlpe fruit appear to
be ripe. The sweating process turns
the green color Of the unrlpe fruit to
yellow. and fruit 80 treated has the
appearance Of being ripe. However,
extensive investigations by the depart
ment have shown that the sweating
process does not ripen the immature
fruit.
One Of the tests to determine wheth-
er or not an orange Is mature Is the
so-called "eight-to-one test" This test
Is based on the ratio Of the soluble
solids to the acid contained in the
juice Of the orange. The soluble SOL
ids increaye as the oranges ripen,
while the acid decreases. The or
anges are considered immature until
the juice contains soluble solids equal
to. or In excess Of, eight parts to each
part Of acid contained in the Juice.
The amount Of soluble solids In Or
ange Juice II about equivalent to the
amount Of sugar It contains. The ra-
ito Of the sugar to the acid In the
juice determines the sweetness Of the
Grunge. In the case Of grapefruit,
maturity Is indicated by a ratio Of sew
en- parts Of soluble solids In the Juice
to one part Of acid. The United States
department Of agriculture will send to
any grower or shipper. upon request.
specific directions for making the
eight-to-one test.
The position Of the United States
department Of agriculture In reference
to the sweating Of immature citrus
fruit Is stated In Food Inspection De-
cision lSS. and In Service and Regu-
latory Announcements Of the Bureau Of
Chemistry numbered II and Is. which
will be furnished upon application to
