 All the regular trains left Madrid last night and this morning as usual but when the strike order goes into effect on the stroke of noon any train which not reached its destination will be sidetracked at the station nearest the spot it has then reached. Even the military engineers were affected by the strike.
 In Catani1noa several station mast CTS have already gone out. turning over their charges to the proper au- thorities.

Productive Age of Orchards

The first question that presents it
self in considering the problem of the
neglected orchard is: up to what age
will it pay to renew the orchard; that
is, how can we tell whether or not our
particular orchard will bring. us in
returns, provided it is well cared for?
This question may be answered in
part by the study that has been made
of orchards in six or seven counties
in New York State. The results of
this study are recorded in orchard
surveys in these counties. In Wayne
County, Prof. Warren of the New
York State College of Agriculture at
Cornell University found that the or
chards did not reach their maximum
production until they were about for
ty years old, and that they continued
to produce good crops far beyond
that age. A similar condition was
found to be true in other counties
where surveys were made.
These figures, of course, refer to
orchards that had received some care.
1t is probable that, in the cases of ne
elected trees, the lack of care which
prevented the trees from producing
good crops have shortened, to GER
tain extent, the life of the trees. 1t
is reasonable to assume, however.
that trees which are less than forty
years old, and are in good condition,
are worth renewing.
In Windham County there are a
large number of trees that it would
be very profitable to renew, and in
some cases to simply adopt good
spraying and pruning program. APP
pies as a cash crop on the general
dairy farm are great asset to the
business. A large number of sue
cessful dairymen in New England
have cash crop of apples in the fall
which are a big factor in swelling the
yearly income of the farm owner
Taking good care of apple trees in
Windham County will not only prove
good farm business, but will stop an
existent leak.

Frost Necrosis in Potato Tubers

A potato tuber that has been COM
pletely frozen will, upon thawing, be
soft and watery, and will collapse
quickly, or decay. If tuber is open,
water drips freely from it, and even
before cutting water oozes through
the skin so that the surface is soon
wet Very often, potatoes are thus
frozen and collapse on one side only.
Such potatoes, exposed to the air, will
very soon pass through pink and
brown discolorations to a uniform
and inky blackness.
Net necrosis, which is rather differ
emit, is a condition where the sap
tubes turn brown more or less
throughout the flesh of the tuber.
Where one is dealing with any con-
siderable number of tubers with sap
tube discolorations, there is little diff
Guilty in distinguishing the two differ
ent kinds of necrosis. Net necrosis
was trouble that occurred in a large
amount of the seed, especially in
Maine, last year. The rule of the
Maine Potato Seed Improvement As
ISOLATION is to keep net necrosis with
in limit of FIVE per cent, if the seed
is to be certified, all other conditions
being favorable to certification.

Shoulders of Citizens
Collector Walsh Issues Statement

The Federal Income Tax season

Collector Walsh in statement says
that the burden of fulfilling this obi
CATION is laid by law squarely on the
shoulders of those who are American
citizens or residents. Every person

his net income for 1919, figured ac-
cording to the Revenue Law, was

over. A widow or widower is classed

his wife on Dec. 81, return is re-
CURED if his net income for 1919 was
$4,000 or over. In his net income he
must include that of his wife and
minor children, if any.
If tax is due on his income, he
must make payment with his return.
This payment may be made in whole
or in part of the tax due. At least
one-quarter of the tax must accom-
pany the return.
The filing and paying must be done
before midnight of Marsh 18th, or he
is classed as a delinquent and is sub
ject to severe penalties.
