SENATE NOTES

Indications are that the combina-

Senator Schoch, of Shawnee. will have
hard time getting out of the COM

many complications to make it work
practically. Senator Schoch was in

BEES IN APPLE CULTURE.

The value of the honeybee as fer tihzing agent during fruit bloom, and the dependence of apple growers, es- peciaIy, upon the activities of "the busy bee" are facts which are not well enough known. The time was when bees were supposed to be harm ful to the interests of fruit growers. Not only have more recent observa- tions shown this to be a mistake, but the work of the Experiment StatiAls in all parts of the country are proving beyond the peradventure of a doubt that fruit culture and bee culture are mutually interdependent upon each other for the best results, according to Lloyd R. Watson, bee specialist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs.
 Some varieties of apples. depend ing upon such conditions as weather. temperature, soil, age and vigor of the tree, are usually self-sterile; that is, they must receive pollen from some other tree in order to bear fruit Other varieties of apples under sim liar conditions are usually self-fer- tile; that is. their own pollen Is capa- ble of making them set fruit. In all eases, however, including even the self-fertile varieties, it is now an es- tablished fact that larger and more perfect fruit result from blossoms which receive pollen from some neighboring tree.
 The pollen grains from certain kinds of flowers like corn, goldenrod, ragweed and chestnut are light and powdery. and are easily carried from one flower to another by the wind, but apple pollen is sticky and cannot be carried about by the wind. If it reaches another flower than that in which 1t grew. 1t must be carried by visiting insects Bees and wasps are the most beneficial carriers of pollen, followed by flies and butterflies, while moths and beetles add their unina-

CIVILIANS IN
 NAVY CRAFT 10
 BE PROSECUTED

The Department of Justice and the office Of United States Attorney Caf- fey, it was learned recently, have taken steps to prosecute civilians inn picated in the bribery scandal in the New York Naval District.
 Secretary Daniels announced yes day at Washington that the Depart ment of Justice would be asked by the Navy Department to handle the cases against all persons involved in the graft who do not come under na- val Jurisdiction.
 Assistant United States Attorney Ben A Matthews, it is understood. is in charge of the local investiga- ton. He is already in possession of considerable information on the sub ject, presented to him through the Department of Justice and Major John F. Muir special investigator here of Secretary Daniels.
 One of the civilians whose activi- ties are being inquired into thorough y is a Federal official from Kings county This official. a local political leader. is said 10 have been the moving spirit in the traffic in dis charges and transfers to easy berths at Naval Training Base s. at Ben sonhurst.
 Two chief boatswains. Lloyd G. Casey and Frederick A. Jones of the Bensonhurst station. are under ar rest for acceptinE money 10 help en- listed men 10 est pc dangerous as signments. Casey, according to Sec retary Daniels. received $3,GOo, be- sides valuable presents. The a-lount Jones received has no. been estab- lished.
 The Kings county official, who r0ua in & large automobile he owned, was a frequent visitor at the Bensonhurst station, and his ability to obtain berths for young men there w,>5 a matter of common knowIedge A note from him, it is aIaeed. as also always a sure means Of obtain ing a profitable job at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
 Former naval officers and enlisted men, who, in the investigation bein Y carried on by Major Muir. were found to have bought their way out of the service, are also to be in cluded in the civil prosecution. It was believed at first that these men would be recalled into service, in or der to be brought up before courts martial.
 Legal difficulties were encountered in carrying out this plan. The re- leased men, it was learned, would fight any attempt to recall them.
 Secretary Daniels announced that facts enough to duplicate civilians had been discovered by Major Muir but that these were not sufficient to warrant arrests yet. This material Is now being turned over to the Unit ed States Attorneys office as the basis for the prosecution of the outside participants in the naval graft.
