peror Nicholas and his family are
being transferred to another point

pect Of q change.
N v. Nekrasoff, vice premier. said
today that the removal of Nicholas
was decided On after a series of se-
cret sessions OF the council Of minis
ter late last month. The motives are
political It was decided to get Mich
olas out OF the way before circum-

When the former emperor reaches his
destination the facts will be an
nounced.

The peach. on account of its very

THINNING FRUIT is FAVORED
Missouri Agricultural Experiment sta.
tion Finds Operation Is Quite
Profitable.


By r. w. FAuRoT. Missouri Agricul
tural College.)
Thinning is an operation that has
been practiced TO only a very limited
extent In Missouri. An occasional man
has thinned a few trees. more as a
matter Of curious inquiry than as a
definite orchard practice. Where the
operation has to any degree been care
fully performed the results have been
outstanding, and the Missouri agricul-
tural experiment station finds that 1t
pays well.
Those varieties which tend usually
to overbear and produce understood
fruit may be thinned to a profitable adj
vantage. The size and quality Of such
varieties as Winesap, Missouri Pippin.
Rails and Ingram can almost always
be improved by careful thinning, and
1t will often pay to thin such varieties
as Jonathan, Grimes or York.
The quality of well-grown fruit is
superior TO that which is
small and poorly developed. If the
crop is evenly distributed throughout
the tree, perhaps four to eight inches.
according to size of variety. is a good
distance between fruits. Leave only
one fruit on a spur. IL two are left,
both will be wormy. On trees with a
heavy set of fruit, thinning all the
'ruit from part of the spurs tends to
cause such spurs to develop fruit
buds for the next years crop, thereby
regular bearing. The ear
Ter the work is done the less drain
here is on the vigor of the tree. Sur
Illus fruit can be handled at less ex-
'ense by thinning than by running it
'ver a sorting table at packing time.

that they go to market not already
Overstocked. An Oversupply may oc-
cur in one market meaning heavy
losses to certain growers. while at the
same time consumers may be paying
high prices In other localities. 1t is
probable that MANY smaller towns
could serve as carload distributing
points If local dealers In these towns
would cooperate in buying peaches by
the carload and in pushing their sale.
The problem of peach marketing is
one of irregular production and of UNI
