FRUIT TREES NOT
BADLY AFFECTED
DR.. Suface Makes Some State,
menlS Regarding the Effect
of Recent Weather

With fruit trees budding from the
warm weather of the past week, fruit
growers throughout the State are
fearing serious injuries to next seasons
fruit crops in case of colder weather.
Zoologist II. A. Surface of the Depart
ment of Agriculture says that the re-
cent warm weather has not yet re-
suited in injury to the fruit buds, but
much depends upon the kind of
weather that is to follow.
DR.. Surface says: ''The buds of
apple, pear and ounce are rarely in
jured by changes in weather temper
ature, and the buds of peach, plum and
cherry may swell considerably due to
warm weather, and still be safe If too
severe freezing does not follow. The
temperature that kills dormant peach
buds, or those that are not swollen, is
about fifteen degrees below zero.
They may start to such an extent as to
be killed by a temperature that does
not reach zero. The more they have
started or swollen the less is the tenn
perature needed to kill them. Much
depends also upon the vigor or health
| fulness of the trees. A tree whose
vitality is maintained by proper meth
DDS withstands the adverse effects of
temperature better than one that is
damaged by insects and diseases, and
starved and neglected.
| Orchard heaters at this time of the
year will do but little good. They are
used successfully in some of the limit
| ed horticultural regions of the West
where practically all fruit growers in
| the same region cooperate in their
use, and are for the purpose of raising
the temperature just a few degrees
to overcome the evil effects of frosts
at blooming period. They are not
! for the purpose of warming the or
chard before the bud bursts. 1t would
| be entirely impossible to use or
chard heaters and warm an orchard
to the safety point, If the temperature
should start toward the zero mark.
Spraying has been recommended
| by some persons to maintain an equal
temperature of trees but this has
amounted to very little. Spraying
with thick whitewash has delayed
blooming two or three days, but does
not give much temperature protection
The best thing the horticulturist can
do is to take advantage of this nice
weather to do his pruning and spray
ing, cut out all blighted and diseased
parts, and keep the orchard in the best
possible condition, and be ready to
meet any emergencies as they occur
When all the fruit buds are killed is a
good time to prune hard to make a
new set of fruit buds for the next
years crop, and to enjoy the blessings
of rest after such a heavy and profit
less crop as the growers had last year.

WELLY,:S SKNGORNER

George Stovall is out in the cold. 1t
looks like case of the bitter being
bitten. He was former manager of the
Kansas City club of the Federal
League. Stovall, better known as the
fire brand" is now out of a job. He
is at a loss which way to turn for
help. Stovall has been canned" ac-
cording to baseball slang.
There promises to be something do
ing in the p. o. S. of A. Quot League
this week. Enhaut, leaders in the
face, will play Camp No. of Harris
burg, now in second place. A victory
for the locals means that Enhaut will
have to take a drop. Once in first
place the Harrisburg team promises
a hard fight until the finish.
Johnny Kilbane, champion feath-
erweight, is a game fighter. He takes
on all comers. His next real foe will
be George CLANCY of Baltimore. This
battle is scheduled for March II. The
champion realizes that he will have to
go fast pace in order to hold his title,
and is training hard.
Tech is planning an indoor track
meet. 1t might prove beneficial in
bringing tothe front promising young
candidates for this years track team.
The Harrisburg Academy is the orig
inator of indoor meets in Harrisburg.
and will have another big event this
month. The Academy athletes are al
ways ready for work. They keep in
form by having frequent indoor con-
tests in various branches of sport, and
wind up with one grand meet Some
day Harrisburg will have hall large
enough where indoor meets may be
properly held

Technical High schools football
eleven will play a series of ten games
next Fall, and practically the same
teams that were included in last years
schedule. Pottsville High, a team that
has opened the season for Tech for
several years has been dropped. The
only other eleven that will not be
played will be Allentown.
In place of these two teams, Fac
ulty Director p. l.. Grubb is endea-
voring ito secure Sunbury for the
opening attraction, and either Wilkes
Barre or Reading High. Sunbury
had been played several years pre-
vious to last season, while either
Wilkes-Barre or Reading would prove
a stronger attraction than the Allen
town team.
For coach of the team several
names have already been mentioned
Among the more prominent are Frank
Red" Pendergast, Tech graduate,
and later captain of the Villanova
College team. Pendergast has large
following of enthusiasts in this city,
who are pulling for his election.
A number of prominent Tech
alumni are enthusiastic about the re-
turn of "Scotty" Cook, whose efforts
brought fame to the Technical insti-
tuition several years ago. "Scotty, y
who is Dickinson graduate, is a resi-
dent of Carlisle.
Plenty Football Material
Whoever the coach may be, he will
have a wealth of experienced mater
ial from which to pick his team. From
last years eleven remain j. Todd,
Nell, Frasch. Philippelli, Harris,
Lloyd, Cole, NJ. Miller, Wear, Fitz-
patrick, Snyder, Lauster, Gipple and
Garman, all of whom participated in
games last Fall, and with one eX-
ifNr n1a nfhorc
of the second team who are counted
on to be of first team caliber are
Stouffer, Krow, Schmidt, H. Miller
Elmer Moltz, Kay and Frock.
Added to these players would also
be several grammar school stars who

Handles Wonder Wins From
Local Billiard Players

George S. Sutton, the handless bill
lard player is meeting a number of
local stars. The contests while one
sided have been interesting, and the
billiard star took occasion to compli-
ment Forster, Tross and Adams, local
men who have helped out in the local
exhibitions. This afternoon and to-
night a series of matches will be
played The attendance yesterday was
large and increased interest is mani
tested in the matches. Arrangements
have been made by Manager Lester
Hoffman for additional seats.

are said to be preparing for Tech.
Carl Beck, younger brother of
Clarence Beck, former all-around ath-
lete at Tech, would be a welcome ad-
dition to the Tech backheld. Wills
bach, known in grammar school circles
as Mountain" would also come in
handy as fullback for the Maroon.
The matter of captain for next sea-
sons eleven has not been decided as
yet, and will not likely be brought up
for action until the opening of school
next September. Matthews, Mckay,
Killinger and Beck are the only play
ers lost by graduation, although sew
eral promising stars have stopped
school indefinitely to accept positions.
"Bill'' Britsch, Cockill and McCurdy
are among these stars, and all saw
yeomen service on the Tech team. 1t
is expected that they will return to
pursue their studies in the Fall. Goug-
Ter, brother of the former Central
star, will also be seen in action for
Tech next season. He was one of the
leading candidates last season, but was
incapacitated because of injuries.
Select Grounds Later
No grounds have as yet been Sc
lected for the playing of the games,
although a division of dates has been
made between the VITO high schools so
that there will be no conflict on home
dates. The big games of the season
will as usual be with Central, Steelton,
and Greensburg. The local team will
make its second trip to West Moreland
county next Fall. The official sched-
ule as arranged by Manager George
Stark is as follows: September 80,
pending with Sunbury; October z,
Lebanon High, at home; October ID,
Easton High, at home; October 21,
Steelton High, at Steelton; October

Games on to-night's basketball
schedule promise much interest for
local fans. Middletown High will meet
