box in the Payette and other valleys
where studies were made. and that the
cost Of maintaining an orchard remains
practically the same per acre whether
the yields are high or low. Other fac-
tors affecting the cost per box are the
size of the orchard, the system Of
orchard management which Is prac-
ticed and the amount Of credit derived
from wood and Gull apples from the
orchard. The study in the Payette val
ley brought out the fact that diversi-
fed farming in combination with fruit
growing gives stability to agriculture.
Although specialized fruit growing may
be more successful in that section In
some seasons, says the bulletin, the
general and more diversified farms are
the more successful on the average OF
a series of years.

FRUIT GRADER SAVES LABOR
Series Of Inclined Planes Arranged to
Sort Out Different Sizes In
Packing Apples.

Grading fruit by hand II you have
much to go over is tedious job. Let
a series of incl ned planes do the work.
For instance anyone knows that ap-
pies will roll downhirl. You put the
apples on the first shelf, the one on
top. The apples roll to the other end.
Those small enough to 60 through the
holes drop to the next shelf below
and start rolling again, the small ones,
in turn, dropping to the next lowest.
Those. too big to pass through the
holes pass on of the shelf into ba>-
kets or crates. Dropping through the.
holes does, not bruise the fruit be.

The canal II made up Of four different
channels. all Of which have the same
general dimensions, the depth being
about II feet and width varying from
20 feet In earth. sections Of ''land line"
to minimum of 200 feet in the beds
Of canalixed rivers and lakes. These
channels are: The Erie canal, or main
line. between Buffalo and Troy; the
Oswego. running from Syracuse to
Lake Ontario; the Champlain. extend.
ing from Troy mp the Hudson to Lake
Champlain. and the Cayuga-Seneca,
connecting the so-called Finger
lake,, with the main channel. BY
means Of the Hudson river, New York
city and the municipalities and viii
lagos south Of Albany are brought into
touch with the system. IS
This new channel was constructed in
accordance with principles radically
different from those which governed on
old cAnals. On these old channels the
idea was to keep the hillside above the
rivers and streams and to use animal
power for towing purposes. In the
present work, however. the practice In
vogue on the Continent, where the low
water routes available In natural
streams are used. has been followed
wherever practicable. In fact, the
! larger part Of the new system consists
Of the equalization of the rivers and
