Warsaw Even more depressing
than parts of Belgium and East Prus
STA, the worst parts, is Poland-a
land of graves and trenches, OF ruin
and destruction ON scale that has
been wrought nowhere else by the
war. The conflict has been waged
back and forth across the ancient
Kingdom SO long that agriculture has
had but little chance, and except in
those sections where the German
forces have been in control lor some
time, the fields are barren and UNI
titled, SCARED by miles upon miles of
earthworks.
From the East Prussian boundary
to approximately the old Rawka posi-

amount OF order and peaceful quiet

For miles, between Alexandrovo on

tween Warsaw and Lodz, the old
trenches line the railroad, while

The Poles from time immemoria

villages have been reduced to forlorl

would only take little more trouble
in preparing his fruit for market
Some associations OF fruit and veg
etable growers have adopted this plan,
and made certain brands famous.
The fruit sold under these various
brands Is carefully selected and
packed under the supervision OF the
manager employed by the growers,
and packages are guaranteed to be w
to standard In every way,
As most OF the apples grown la this
country are sent to market Ia barrels,

rules adopted by the best associa-

ing OF the fruit.
In the first place the apples are
taken from the trees and placed In
baskets or bags slung around the
shoulders OF the pickers, and some
very careful growers insist that the
pickers wear gloves, la order that
their finrernails may not cut the fruit.
1t is a well.known fact now that =
tiny abrasion made by the nngernail
will often admit harmful bacteria
which will, In q short time, destroy
the apple.
The apples are then brought to the
| packing tables, which are covered with
canvas or burlap under which 10 n
padding OF moss or straw In order to
prevent bruising. The greatest care Is
taken to prevent the apples from fall
ing from the table, or against one
another In a way to cause the slight
est bruise. The fruit is rapidly sorted
into their proper grade and the pack
age-whatever the form OF packing
may be-labeled with the growers
name. A barrel properly packed can
be shipped long distances without In
jury to the fruit.
All good apple growers now under
stand that apples keep better II they
are allowed to ripen upon the trees

should be taken from the tree. and
