AROUND
ORCHARD
PREVENT LOSS BY FREEZING
Tests Being Made by Department OF
Agriculture With Box Cars for
Shipping Apples.

About 1900 cars Of boxed apples
shipped in box cars were injured by
freezing last year, and the fruit grow
ers sustained q loss of approximately
81, 100000. Because Of this and the
fact that it seems impossible to secure
an adequate amount Of refrigerator
equipment, the bureau Of markets,
United States Department OF Agricut-
ture, is cooperating with the Wenat-
chez Valley Traffic association to as
certain whether an ordinary box car
can be made to take the place of re-
frJgerator car when the latter Is not
obtainable. The tests are being con-
Quoted with four box cars, each
equipped with a different method Of
ventilation and a refrigerator car un-
der standard ventilation, to provide a
means Of comparison.
The first box car has ventilator cut
In each end. The second has the side
doors open 8 inches. The third has
one side door open with 6-inch baf-
fie, to shoot the air into the car and
the fourth box car has no ventilation
whatever. Delicate equipment records
the air currents and temperatures and
an accurate chart is kept. In publish
ing the preliminary report of the ex-
pertinent, which is not entirely COM
pleted, the bureau Of markets says
that the use of ordinary b0x-car equip
ment under any sort of ventilation will
not prove satisfactory for shipping
boxed apples Such produce can be
safely shipped by box car only when
the weather ranges from temperate TO
cool. The ordinary box car provides
no protection whatever against
changes in external temperature. The
best means of ventilation is to open
both doors inches, SO fastening them
as to prevent robbery.

in Destroying Beetles, 6orers
and Other Pests.

Now that spring is coming 1t is well
to remember what you owe in the way
of kindness to the birds that worked
for you through the winter. Here Is a
list of but few Of those that helped
to keep your orchard clean.
Woodpeckers. They destroy bark
beetles.
Downy woodpecker. B0rers are his
meat. He's "up and at 'em."
Hairy woodpecker. He paid well for
any suet or sunflower seed.
White-breasted nuthatch. Cleans
the bark diligently.
Brown creeper. Searches bark TOT
insects and eggs in winter.
Chickadee. Leaves no insect eggs
on the boughs.

GOOD ROADS BOOST PROFITS
Where Farmer Can Haul but One Bale
Of Cotton on Poor Road, Man on
Good Roads Hauls Four.

The matter of opportunity in mar
keting is worthy Of consideration. For
the sake Of example, suppose that two
farmers living in separate counties.
but at equal distances from the cotton
market, learn by telephone that cotton
has advanced in price 81 bale. The
man living on a bad road can imme-
diately haul one bale Of cotton to
market, while the other can haul four
bales because he lives on good road.
The rise in price means a profit OF 81
to the one man and only 81 to his
neighbOr.

Bridge Grating.

original condition as far as growth is
concerned. It also provides process
by means of which crown gals may
be bridged over or cut away and the
bridge made over the wound. If tree
loses its roots on one side connections
can be made from the roots on the
other side Of the trunk SO the sap will
be carried from healthy roots and
evenly distributed through the trunk.

LOCATION FOR NEW ORCHARD
II Should BE Placed on Good Ground
and Convenient to Farm
Dwelling House.

Have you decided on the location
for your new orchard? Do not choose
the poorest land in the most neglected
portion Of the farm, but place the Or
chard on good ground convenient to
the house. You will find yourself TAX
ing greater pride in seeing that 1t is
cared for properly. A good orchard,
besides affording much pleasure, yields
returns more than sufficient to pay for
the care that is bestowed upon 1t.

SPORTS
Marines Are Better
At Football Than on
Basket Ball Courts

In a fast game of basket ball played
at the Waikiki Gymnasium the Pearl
Harbor Marines went down to their
only defeat in a sporting contest
OF Maui. Their opponents the Alerts
played rings around the Honolulu
boys and when the smoke of battle
cleared away were on the long end of
2l-13 score. The first half of the
game vas a good clean exhibition of
sport but, it is said, the last period
marked by a great deal of rough
ing though undoubtedly unintention-
al
The Marines were unable to stop
the local boys from the go" and in
their futile efforts to attempt to come
from behind put in about twelve men
at various stages of the game. This
same Marine team is the one that
stood at third place in the Honolulu
league last winter and the victory of
the Alerts ove this aggregation
throws them in the limelight as con-
tenders for the Maui championship
which series will be played later.

Proposed Football
Game For Sunday Is
Marked Of Schedule

Contrary to the schedule of the
football program issued by the foot
ball committee some time ago there
will be no game on next Sunday, De-
cember 4. This is due to the inability
of Puunene to put a team on the
field. 1t seems, according to reports
from the II. c. & S'ville camp, that
several members of the Rainbow
team have left for other parts and
several others are on the sick or in
jured list. which cause that squad
to withdraw from the scheduled
series.
Fans and Fanettes are therefore
doomed either to a disappointment or
a long looked for rest and can store
away their zeal and pep for the game
between the two recent championship
contenders on the Sunday following,
December II. That game will be play
ed at Lahaina, however, in order that
the admirers of football in West Maui
be given a better opportunity to view
one OF the spirited contests that the
Blues and "Maroons' are able to
furnish.
Reports coming from the East Maui
camp, say that the Paia boys have
extended ar invitation to two of the
Marines players who were here last
week to spend a month with them at
Paia as coaches and if so the Wal
luku champions may find themselves
up against many of the plays and
formations hat brought such well
canned victorys to the Pearl Harbor
eleven last Sunday.
The last game of the year will be
played at Waikiki field on Sunday,
December Is, when in a final contest,
Paia and Waikiki meet.

game is so excellent that he has
dwarfed the Importance of this point.
McLoughIin's Overhead Smash
The place that keeping your eye
on the ball is of extreme Importance
Is in making the overhead smash
or kill, the shot which Mclaughlin
has developed as his greatest asset.
Here the whole question of making
the shot is in gauging the exact spot
where the full power of body and arm
can meet the ball with greatest force
and easiest angle to the opposite
court.
This a only be done by judging
exactly the flight of the ball, possible
by keeping the eye fixed on the ball
itself, not the opposite court. 1t is
equally true of the modern volley
shot, so essential in every mans
game today. Thus we find from back
court, mid-court or net, the vital part
of every shot is to have your eye fixed
on the ball all the time.
