DWARF TREES MOST DESIRED
Particularly Adapted for Small Areas
and Favored Because Of Earli-
ness of Bearing.

The practice Of using dwarf instead
Of the ordinary standard trees is more
or less prevalent among prospective
planters of small areas. Dwarf trees
are produced, say fruit-growing spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, by propagating
them on certain stocks or roots which,
because of their inherently restricted
habit of growth, restrict also the size
Of the tops that have been grated or
budded on them.
While earliness of bearing and ex-
ceptionally high quality of the prod
uct are often claimed for dwarf trees,
some Of the best experience in this
country has failed to substantiate the
latter claim. Dwarf apple and pear
trees have their place, however, in the
garden or yard, especially under in
tensive methods of culture, where the
space is too small to admit readily of
the development of standard trees.

cutting end of the saw, and they range
from about one-third Of an inch to one
inch in diameter. In novelty works
buttons an inch and a half or larger
are made.
Before going to the finishing ma
chimes the blanks are usually passed
through four intermediate processes.
First they are passed through blank
classifier, where, by falling between
rollers they are separated into differ
ent lots according to thickness. Next
they are placed in tumblers, consisting
of heavy and slowly revolving barrels
of iron or wood, in which they are
churned with water and punice stone
to clean them and remove any possible
rough edges. The blanks are then
ready for the grinder, a machine fit
ted with an emery wheel which grinds
away the horny backs and reduces the
blanks to a uniform thickness. Final
ly the blanks are again soaked in wa
ter to be softened for the finishing ma
chine They are then ready for the
essential processes of button making,
which are accomplished by an auto
matte machine of comparatively recent
invention and of very ingenious design.
The blanks are fed by hand into de-
pressions in the tops of vertical chucks,
which are arranged in series constitut-
ing an endless chain. AS the chucks
in the endless chain pass around the
circumference of the machine each
blank is automatically operated upon
by various tools, and each tool Is au-
tomatically sharpened and prepared for
the succeeding blank. The processes
accomplished in the machine consist
in rounding the edges and carving out
the center in the desired pattern. AT
ter the first hole the drill rises, the
button makes a turn through a fourth
or half of one revolution according to
whether it Is to be four-hole or two
hole-button), when the drill again de-
scends to make new hole. After the
last hole is drilled the chuck opens
automatically to release the button,
which is sucked into a tube connected
with the blower system to be dropped
into a bucket through counting tube.
From the cutting machine the but
tons are taken to the churns, where
they are tumbled, or churned, with wa
ter and pumice stone to clean them,
take off the rough edges, and make
them ready for receiving the final pol
ish. The polishing is also a tumbling
process, in which, however, sulphuric
acid is used in conjunction with steam.
After the buttons are dried In shak-
ers with sawdust, they are placed with
dry sawdust and washing powder In
combined tumbler and shaker. This
process removes any trace of limy de.
post and gives the final luster. Final
ly the buttons are conveyed in buck
cts or boxes to the sorting room where
they are sorted according to qualities
and grades and sewed to suitable cards
for packing in boxes, ready to be sold.

MOST IMPORTANT OF SPRAYS
With Apples, Pears, PIums and Cher
ries Application After Petals Fall
Is Most Essential.

The standard spraying solution for
fruit trees is five quarts Of lime-sul-
phur and two pounds of lead arsenate
paste In so gallons of water. If only
one spraying is to be given, the most
important time is when 95 per cent Of
the petals have fallen. If this spraying
is done thoroughly, fully three-fourths
Of the worms will be prevented. How
ever, it is generally supposed to pay
10 repeat the spraying again three
weeks later. The third spraying may
be given the last week in July or the
first week In August. With apples,
pears, plums and cherries the most
important spraying of all is that given
Just after the petals have fallen.

many berries being crushed by the
cover. Slack-filled boxes, on the 9TH
er hand, are as difficult to sell, If not
more so, than those in which the ber-
ries are beginning to decay.
The boxes must contain no leaves,
sticks, or other trash. Boxes in the
second, third, or fourth layers of the
crates must be as we'll filed as those
in the top layer. Some sections Of the
country, 1t is said, still cling to the
practice Of facing" or placing the
berries in the top layer on their sides,

the stem of the berry down in order
to add to the attractiveness Of the

said, to be no harm in the practice
until the tendency creeps in Of stop

the face Of the box. Many shipping
associations claim that unless straw
berries are very high in price, the ex-
ira labor cost of facing" the boxes of
berries Is not warranted. Topping"
or placing the best berries in the top
layer of the box and the poorer, or
smaller berries, in the bottom, is not
allowed by the best shipping associ-
atoms.

last census discovered that the value
of all buttons produced in this coun-
try in single year is more than $780,
100000. This represents several bill
lions of buttons.
The fresh-water musSel the lowly
clam of the old swimming hole, Is the
largest single source of buttons in this
country. Something like $4,000 tons OF
clam shells are used annually in the
manufacture Of more than 100000
gross of pearl buttons which, at pres
ent prices, are valued at more than
$15,000,0O0. In addition to buttons,
the mussel shells are also used in the
manufacture of novelties, jewelry,
chicken feed, road materials and COM
Hosition marble.
Several years ago the bureau of fish
cries discovered that the great clam
beds which are the source of the best
buttons were being rapidly exhausted.
Investigation showed that nature in her
propagation and growth Of pearl but
ton material was wasteful. 1t was al
so found that natural propagation OF
mussels could be improved and con-
trolled artificially and means were
taken to restock the clam beds. In
this scheme fish are a necessary adj
junct.
When fresh-water clans have just
started their development they must
become parasitic upon fish If they are
to reach maturity. Almost as soon as
they are Matched the baby clans at
tach themselves to the gills Of fish.
Here they cling for the next week or
two. When they have developed suffi-
GENTLY to shift for themselves, they
detach themselves and drop to the
bed of the river. If undisturbed there,
they become full grown at the end of
five years.
The trouble with this natural process
of development is that the great ma.
jority Of tiny clans do not find fish
to which they may attach themselves
and they die in their infancy. Elk,
perts of the bureau Of fishery then con.
ceived the idea of artificially infect.
ing the fish with the parasites, and i'm
mediately the problem was solved. I'm
der this artificial treatment fish can
carry thousand or more embryo mus

ural conditions it may become host to
only dozen or so.
The principal mussel-yielding
streams are found In the states Of Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri
Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee
Kentucky and Alabama, the Mississippi
river producing the largest number Of
shells. The 'mussel fishery is a per
manent and important industry, and In
scarcely any locality where shell fish
cry was once established has it ever
been entirely abandoned. The extent
of the fishery in any locality may vary
from year to year, however, as it Is
subject to variety of influences, such
as the demand for shells of certain
qualities, the stages of the river, the
condition of the local industry ant
the degree of exhaustion of the ma
.erial
The method of mussel fishery mos
generally in use today is with the so
called bar and crowfoot hooks. The
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1921-07-01

method is based on the characteristic
habits of the fresh-water mussels,
which lie habitually half imbedded in
the bottom Of stream, with the
hinder end of the shell directed against
the current and slightly gaping. If q
stick or hook be inserted into the open
| ing Of the shell. the muSsel Mt once
| closes tightly and will hold for long
time, even while being dragged over
the bottom and hauled up to the boat.
The more elaborate apparatus now
| used was first brought to the notice Of
the river men Of the upper Mississippi
| in 1897. The crowfoot apparatus con-
sists essentially of bar to which many
| short lines, bearing four-pronged wire
hooks, are arranged at intervals. By
means of towing line the bar is
dragged above the bottom, while the
hooks trail on the mussel bed with
the current. When a hook enters a
shell opening, the mussel closes upon
the hook, and in consequence is
dragged from the bottom. When the
bar is raised after a suitable time,
numerous mussels may be hanging
! from the hooks.
1t is usual to equip barges with
a number of these bars so that the bed
OF stream may be dragged thorough
~. The most satisfactory boat has
been found to be the ordinary john
boat. Its length is from IA to 20 feet,
with width at the center of from 8
to 5 feet but 1t always has narrower
ends, and is usually of light draft. For
work on a much larger scale, heavy
barges, approximately 10 by 40 feet,
| are used.
After the mussels are brought ashore
the soft parts must be removed. Where
pearling is the exclusive object, each
mussel may be opened with a knife
| inserted between the valves of the
| shells. so as to sever the adductor
muscles; the meat is then cut out and
examined for pearls. Such a process.
however, is entirely too slow and tedi-
Gus for preparing shells for market,
so the cooking-out process is exclusive
ly employed in the shell fishery. The
muSsels are cooked in vat 8 feet long
by 2 feet wide and from - to 10
inches deep. This usually takes about
half hour.
After reaching the button factory
the shells are first soaked in tanks
or watts for week or more. The soak
ing process is intended to soften the
material, which would otherwise be too
hard on the saws, as well as so brittle
as to chip and yield blanks with rough
edges. The machine used in cutting
is essentially lathe fitted with tubu-
lar saw of the necessary diameter to
obtain the required size of button, and
wooden plug and ratchet handle or
lever for gradually forcing the rough
shell against the rapidly rotating saw.
The shell is held in position either by
prongs or by the hand protected with
mitten. Successive blanks as they
are cut are crowded through the tubu-
lar saw to fall into a receptacle be-
low. The sizes of the buttons are de-
termined by the inner diameter of the
