APPLE STORAGE

Apples keep longer and retain their
flavor better when stored in cool
place, say those in charge of the Blu
reau of Plant Industry, Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture. A tenn
perature between So and 40 degrees
Fair. is best, and this temperature
should be kept as constant as possible.
The storage house should be fairly
dry, so that there will be no danger of
deposits of water on the fruit when
the temperature drops few degrees.
Apples also need air and the storage
house should be provided with venti-
lation or the air changed frequently
by opening doors and windows on mild
days. Shallow boxes, baskets or bags
or small bins slotted so as to allow
air to circulate on all sides are best
for storing apples.

USE OF FARM TRACTORS SHOW
GREAT INCREASE

The shortage of labor on the farms
of Pennsylvania during the past year
has brought about greatly increased
use of the farm tractor, according to
statistics secured by the Bureau of
Statistics, Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture. The figures show that
during 1920 the number of tractors on
the farms of the State have increased
fifty per cent.
In 1919 there we're approximately
4,315 tractors on the farms of Penn
sylvania. At the present time there
are approximately 6,823 tractors in
use on the farms. These figure s are
based on reports from 7O5 townships
in the State.
The reports do not indicate that
horses are being generally discarded
on the farms, but that the tractors
are used as auxiliary power, reouir-
ing less man-power to operate than
the use of horses.

BLUE MOLD ROT IN APPLES

The peculiar strong musty smell so
often encountered in apple cellars is
due to the Blue Mold Rot, one of the
most destructive rot fungi in stored
apples. When this musty smell is
present this rot exists somewhere on
the bin or boxes, and if it is strong
it is likely to impart a decidedly un
pleasant flavor to the contents of the
cellar. This smell also indicates that
the fuuges is forming innumerable
spores which will infect and rot 9th
err apples. To keep down loss from
Blue Mold Rot, pick out and destroy
the rotten fruits at frequent intervals
and keep the cellar cool, clean, well
aired and dry. The Bureau of Plant
Industry, Pennsylvania Department OF
Agriculture, will gladly answer ques
tions regarding the diseases of plants
and gives methods of controlling in
sect pests.

GUS condition confronting the peach
growers of Pennsylvania.
Nine Eastern counties were covered
in the survey, particular attention be-
ing devoted to Cumberland, Lancaster
and Lebanon counties, and it was
found that 125 per cent. of the peach
trees in this area are infected with
the Fellows.
There were 104 peach orchards Wis
tied, and of this number only Is were
found to be free of Fellows. There
were 111,437 trees inspected and of
this number 1887 were either defin-
itely affected by the disease or were
suspected. This condition entails a
loss of 1895 on the growers, valuing
each tree at SIS, while the danger from
the disease spreading cannot be fig
ured in dollars and cents.
The amount of disease in one or
chard ran as high as 95 per cent,
while in six orchards more than IS
per cent. of the trees were suffering
from Fellows.
The Pennsylvania Department Of
Agriculture is now seeking the sup
port of the peach growers of the State
IN its plans for the eradication of the
disease. The proper methods of con-
troll and eradication will be one of the
important subjects which will be talk
en- up and discussed with the grow
ers at the State Farm Products Show
in Harrisburg, January 14-1S.

The crusade will be extended until
the impure -four has been driven from
the market.
There are 1900 millers in Pennsyl-
vania and not pound of flour con-
tanning nitrous acid is produced by
this industry. The Department is de-
termined that millers in other States
who ship their flour into Pennsylvania
must comply with the pure food laws
the same as the Pennsylvania millers.
The crusade against the flour contain
ing nitrous acid has been instigated to
protect not only the consuming public,
but the milling interests of Pennsyl-
vania as well.

BURN THE FALLEN LEAVES TO
DESTROY FUNGUS DISEASES

Fallen leaves are natures mulch and
they should be composted, dug into
the soil or allowed to lie and rot wher-
ever possible. In some cases now-
ever, it is better to burn up the old
leaves in order to prevent fungus dis
eases from wintering on them. There
are numerous leaf spots, molds,
blotches, and mildew which affect the
leaves of certain kinds Of plants, and
one can greatly reduce the amount of
these diseases for next year by de-
stroying the old leaves, and of course
the wintering stage of the fungus at
the same time. Rose diseases are
kept down readily in this way; rust
on hollyhocks is rendered less preva-
lent if every scrap of material above
ground is burned before winter; the
disfiguring leaf spot on tatalpa trees
and the ugly leaf blotch on horse
chestnut are never so severe when
the leaves have been burned the fall
before. Currant leaf spot and leaf
spot diseases of cherry and plum can
also be lessened by destroying the
fallen leaves either by burning or
burying them. In general any foliage
disease which winters on the fallen
leaves can be controlled to a greater
or less extent by destruction of these
leaves in late autumn.
For information on the control of
plant diseases and insect pests write
to the Bureau of Plant Industry, Penn
sylvania, Department of Agriculture.

regulations which have been made,
under the law.
1t can safely be said that almost all
sections of the state are being sup
piled from local sources of apples. The
movement of barreled stock has
hardly begun, and it will not become
important until local supplies are ex-
hausted. Most of the dealers report
hesitancy toward the purchase of
Pennsylvania fruit, except in the cases
where the packer is personally known
to be honest. In other words, apples
sell at present upon the reputation Of
the packer, and not on the quality of
the fruit offered. Certainly the new
orchards of Pennsylvania can not find
market for their product if condi-
tions of packing and grading are not
remedied before that time.
The Apple Packing Law is step in
the direction of improvement of quail
ity, and it's provisions are directly for
the benefit of every honest grower in
the state who has the good of the in
dustry at heart. For this reason, any
persons who know of violations of the
law are requested to communicate
with the Bureau Of Markets, PeEnsyl-
vania Department of Agriculture, Har-
risburg, giving complete information
regarding the case.

1920, will also be offered. The prizes
for each of the four varieties are So

ISOLATION meetings while the other or
CARNATIONS are expecting equally large

.FOch and His
Peace-Time Job

Paris-Marshal Foch, who two years
ago, November 18th received the sur
render Of the German armies at Ret
ohndes in Compeigne forest, today
holds the theoretically imposing posi-
ton of military adviser to the world
His official title is president of the
interallied military commission of
Versailles" This body is continual
ton of the old supreme command of
the war. It's function is to act as
general clearinghouse for all military
affairs touching the former Allies. It
includes representative from all the
former belligerents except the United
States and the Central Powers, and
upholds frequent meetings in Paris.
Behind the little blue sign "Etat-
Major de Marechal Foch," at "a Boule-
ward de Courcelles, the conqueror of
Germany sits at his Office desk every
morning from 10 until noon and every
afternoon from 2.30 until S. His aides
report he is busy most Of the time
reading kilograms from military at
taches of Allied nations in various
parts of the world, comforting with
military representatives of various
powers, preparing reports for the
council of ambassadors when military
counsel is needed, giving advice to
some of the younger Allies now carry
ing on little wars of their own, etc.
From time to time he quits Paris
to accompany the premier of France
as general military adviser at or of
the many conferences Of prime minis
tiers which have been one of the new
features of European diplomacy since
the war.
He generally travels in the same
railway coach in which he was living
when he received the German COM
mander, November IL, 1918. This
coach is always at his personal dispos-
al, whether for official or unofficial
trips. Sometime his wife accompanies
him-on unofficial journeys.
Foch's relation to the French army
is the same as it was during the lat
ter part of the war. Being head of the
interallied military staff he is barred
from active command in any Of the
national armies, but free to give advice
whenever required.
In addition to his professional duties
Marshal Foch has a secondary but
rather time-consunIing Ceremonial"
role which frequently calls him away
from his family hearth to speak at in
terallied or French memorial services,
international dinners, cornerstone lay
ings and the like.
For the world at large and France
in particular he is still the living per-
sonification of the victory for which
it paid so dearly in human life.
1t is a sure sign that ague has come
to stay when it gives you the shake.
