KING AIDS PLANE TESTS.

Correspondence of the Associated
 Press.)
 London, Dec. 30.-King George took part few days ago in an important experiment connected with the over coming of the U'boat menace. At the National Physical laboratory the king was in an enormous "wind channel" during actual tests of airplane parts.
 Exact models of the airplanes are hung in the "wind channel" and there subjected to wind tests. An electri- cally actuated gale of fifty miles an hour was blowing and the behavior of the models was similar to that of the full-sized machines.

The growers aim is for the tree to
produce the largest possible amount of
fruit that can attain the highest COM
mercial standard. The effort of the
tree and the object desired by the
grower tend to impose incompatible
requirements. The development of a
great number of seeds Is a tree-ex-
hausting process. This is opposed to
the development of large fruits. To
meet his ends in this respect, the grow
er has recourse to thinning the fruit.
Perhaps no operation in the pro-
duction of peaches requires keener
judgment than thinning the fruit. No
fixed rules for 1t can be given. A COM
mon rule, very generally applicable, is
to thin so that the fruits will not be
nearer together than to G inches.
But the strength of the tree, the fer
tility of the soil, and especially the
soil moisture, together with the size
Of the crop Cor. in other words, the
number of fruits allowed to develop on
the tree), govern very largely the size
and perfection Of the individual fruits.
Obviously, a vigorous tree growing
under favorable conditions as to mois-
ture, plantfOod, ETC., can develop a
larger number of fruits to good size
than can a weak tree, or even the
same tree when there is a marked de-
ficiency either in the supply Of mois-
ture or of plantfood.
The skill of the grower is shown in
his ability to adjust the size of the
crop on his trees to the conditions of
the season. He can reduce the num-
Der of fruits on the trees If the season
becomes very dry as it progresses.
Thus the grower should aim to con-
troll the size of the individual fruits
by thinning and by tillage and pruning.
While thinning may cost a relatively
large amount per tree, actually more
high-grade fruit is produced, as a rule,
on a tree which bears only a moderate

GIVES ARMY WEAPONS
Ordnance Bureau Important
Branch Of War Department.
Intrusted With Duty Of Providing Gig
Guns and Small Arms, With All
Necessary Equipment.

In common with other branches Of
Uncle Sans military service the ord
nance division Of the war department
is Of interest at this time. The chief
Of the ordnance Of the army IL
charged with the duty Of procuring. by
purchase or manufacture, and distri-
buting the necessary ordnance and ord
nance stores for the army and Ma
tional Guard.
Ordnance and ordnance stores in
clude cannon and artillery vehicles and
equipment; apparatus and machines
for the service and maneuver of ar
tillery; small arms and ammunition,
and accoutrements. Horse equip
ments and harness for field artillery,
and horse equipment for cavalry and
other mounted men; tools, machinery
and materials for ordnance service,
and all property of whatever nature
Uncluding specially equipped motor
trucks, motorcycles, tractors and rail-
road cars) supplied to the military es-
adjustment must be provided by the
ordnance department.
More than 500 students installed on
the campuses of eight American col
leges have been taking the prepara-
tory course to fit them for ordnance
work in the enlisted reserve corps.
These students have been trained to
become storekeerers In that branch of
the service which will supply the new
American armies with guns and mu-
nitions.
In connection with those who have
had some training and who wish COM
missions as either captains or first
lieutenants the department wishes to
have mechanical engineers, chemical
engineers specially qualified In explo-
sive chemistry, and metallurgical en-
glneers; also men with special knowl-
edge Of the manufacture of leather
goods and cloth material. In accept
ing men for these commissions the de-
partment prefers graduates of recog-
nized college or university, and also
prefers those who have had sufficient
experience in the manufacture or In
vestigation of ordnance material to
qualify them TO take up at once such
duties In the ordnance department.

tree with a moderate crop Is of better
grade than the best fruit In an over.
loaded tree.
The thinning should be done after
the "June drop"-which usually occurs
from a month to six weeks after the
blossoming period, when the imperfect.
ly fortified and other weakly devel-
oped fruits drop off-and before the
pits begin to harden. After the "June
drop" is over there is very little drop
ping of the peaches. Hence practi-
cally all the fruit which remains then
II will have TO be picked then. anyway.
II probably costs considerably less to
pick a portion of the crop In June or
July and drop the fruit on the ground
than to pick II later and put II in a
basket, where much of IL will have
TO be handled over several times In
grading and packing and then finally
large quantities discarded as culls be-
cause the fruits are so small More
over, the fruit on an overloaded tree
will sometimes ripen less uniformly
than on a tree that has a moderate
crop.
As the development of its pits is an
exhaustive process. the limiting of the
number Of fruits tends to conserve the
vitality of the tree. A large portion
OF the flesh of the peach is water;
hence, II the soil Is well supplied with
moisture the development Of the edible
portion Of the fruit makes a relatively
light demand on the strength of the
tree.

WAR B0OMS DYE INDUSTRY
American Plants Not Only Supply Do
nestle Needs, But Sell Large
Quantities Abroad.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The American dye industry has not
only grown big enough to supply prac-
tically all domestic needs, but Is now
exporting important quantities to
other nations, Uncle Sans bureau Of
commerce reports.
OF all the industries created or de-
veloped as a direct result Of war con-
ditions, none has shown more rapid
progress than American dyestuffs.
From only seven establishments In
which 52S people were engaged In pro-
ducing 6,6l9,729 pounds of coal-tar
colors. valued at S1,126,699, in 1914,
the industry has developed until now
1t not only supplies the domestic de-
mand for colors, but has even invaded
the foreign market In European neu-
trial and allied countries, Canada, Mex
leo, Argentina, Brazil, British India,
and Japan.
No other article of commerce more
vitality affects greater number of In
dustries than do coal-tar dyes, and
very few articles rival them In COM
plexlty Of manufacture. At the out
break of the war the difficulties In the
way Of soon providing adequate do
nestle supplies seemed insurmount-
able; yet in the short space of three
years scores Of plants covering many
acres OF ground have been erected;
numerous by-product coke ovens have
been equipped to furnish the neces-
sary raw materials; thousands OF
workmen have been trained; special
machinery has been designed. built
and installed; hundreds of chemists
and chemical engineers have given
their entire time 10 the unfamiliar
work connected with color produc-
ton; experimental research has been
inaugurated for perfecting processes
and machinery and the possible dis
coyery of new colors; organization,
consultations, and alliances have been
effected within the industry TO further
increase output at decreased cost; and
II is understood In the trade that plans
are under way for entering foreign
markets on large scale.
