TOLL or STORAGE DISEASES
Ailments Greatly Reduce important
Food Supply and Increase the
Marketing Costs.

Storage diseases take heavy an
nual toll on the harvested crop of ap-
5les, greatly reducing an important
food supply and increasing the cost
and uncertainty of marketing opera
tons. The responsibility for this loss
may lie with the orchardist, the trans
portation company, the dealer, or the
storage management, say specialists
Of che bureau of plant industry Of
the United States Department of Agri'
culture, in Farmers Bulletin 1860,
Diseases of Apples in Storage" now
available for general distribution.
The diseases may be due to the
work Of a parasite or to the direct ac'
ton of unfavorable conditions upon
the fruit itself. Diseases like scab
and certain fOts that are definitely
traceable to the action of particular
fungi are called parasitic diseases
while bitter-pit, WATERFORD, and scald
are known to be wholly due to abnor'
NAL physiological conditions in the
fruit itself, and are called non-para'
sjtic or physiological diseases. Both
these classes Of diseases can be pre-
vented largely by proper methods of
growing and handling the foit, but
each has its own peculiar laws of be-
hayior upon which the requirements
for its control must be based.
Delay in warm packing sheds or
cars shortens the natural life Of ap'
Piles and greatly increases their ten
dency to rots and to scaId. Filling
the storage rooms so rapidly that cold
storage temperatures cannot be main
tanned has a similar bad etfeft.. -Ap
pie rots are slow to start at ten
perature Of 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but
if beginning has been made at a
higher temperature they proceed much
more rapidly.
Ventilation is as important as low
temperature in the prevention OF
scald. Apples that receive good AGRA
ton when delays occur in handling
them do not have the tendency to
scald increased by the delay. (Any
ventilation of the storage room that
results In an actual renewal Of the air
within the package IS of great value
in scald control.) Apples scald far
less in boxes, baskets or ventilated
barrels than in the usual tight barrel
Wrapping apples in oiled wrappers
furnishes the most complete protec
ton against scald. -

ALFALFA AS A TOR
Planted Around Farm Houses Il Has
Been Found to Reduce the Tenn.
perature Materially.

RefrigpratOrs indoors are common
enough but it took the farmers in the
Southwest to devise one for outdoor
use.
A farmer who happened to plant d
large field of alfalfa south Of the
farmhouse nTticed during the hot sum-
mers that followed that his family
DID not sHifer from the heat as did the
neighbours The thermometer showed a
temperature five to ten degrees in his
favor.
Someone suggested that it might be
due to the alfalfa, tried the tempera-
ture just north of other alfalfa fields
and found the same marked difference.
Now the farmers of that region are
planting alfalfa around their dwell
in-s and enjoy summer temperatures
that make q trip to the seash0re need
less, according to the Golden Age.
The cause nf the GOODNESS of winds
passing over alfalfa fields Is that the
plant ahsorbs much moisture, the
evaporation Of which reduces the tenn
pcrature of the air and lessons the
summer heat in the adjoining land
over which 1t blows.
The suggestion now is for farmers
That wish to profit from the presence
ard the board money of summer va
cationists to combine the profit and
utility of alfalfa with higher rates
from hot-weather boal .lers attracted
by the GOODNESS of the ten-acre refrig-
orator around the house.
Little by little men are beginning
to learn how to utilize the means pro.
vi1ed by good Creator for their com.
fort and well-being.

Salt May Be Cause Of Cancer.

Dr.. Joseph De Stephano has recently
advanced the theory that the use Of
salt may be the cause Of cancer, and
be quotes some instances that seem to
Indicate that such Is the case. Some
other physicians, however. take issue
With him and the statement is made
that II Italy where salt Is eaten II
great quantities there Is very little
cancer.

In sad but loving remembrance of

the God who gave 1t, Sept. 2, 1921.
In the death of Stella the husband
has lost faithful wife, the mother a
kind daughter. sisters and brothers a
loving sister, but heaven has gained
another angel. Her sister being anx-
ious to know how she felt about dying
asked her II she was all right. Her
reply was yes oh, what thought to
us. We know where to find Stella, in
land of Paradise, where no sickness
is ever found to take our loved ones
from US, but all is peace and love.
What comfort this should be TO
loved ones. Stella is not dead, only
sleeping the sweet sleep, which all
sleep that die in Christ She was laid
to rest in the family cemetery there to
sleep the sweet sleep till the dead in
Christ shall rise.
The golden gates were open
Al gentle voice said come"
And with farewells unspoken
She calmly entered home.

He bid US trust and weep no more fol
