Tn about six weeks Delaware will
Sbegin its apple season and while the
frosts injured the crop severely in
some orchards, the prospect at this
& time is for a fair crop generally.
Growers are putting forth every effort
and sparing no expense in the proper
care taking of their trees and prepa-
ration for the coming crop.
Delaware ranks first among all the
states in the union in the number of
apple trees per square mile. According
to statistics we have an average of
54S ample trees to every square mile of
area New York ranks second with an
average of 287 and Virginia third
with 255, One of the largest, if not the
largest orchard in this State is own
cd nv the Delaware Apple Company,
and is located near Bridgeville, they
have 800 acres and $4,000 trees, there
are adjoining orchards from five to
seven thousand trees. Wyoming, Della
ware, is perhaps the largest apple
shipping point in the state, and the or
ch;Gbds in that Vlclhlty are III Hle COLI
dition. :,
At the present time most of the
large growers are marketing their
apples Independently, but there is
strong tendency towards standardized
ton of both grades and packages. Del
aware has at the present time an ap-
ple grading regulation, but it is not
rigidly adhered to, and each grower
is inclined to interpret this grade in
his own way, consequently there are
hardly any two growers who grade
the same, which causes considerable
confusion in the markets.
Importance of Packing
Practically all of the early apples
will be packed in the round staVe bus
hel basket, and the later varieties for
Storage will be packed principally in
the double-head barrels, although
there is some question as to using
the barrels for storing, some claim
that the bushel hamper is more desir-
able on account of the fruit cooling off
more quickly, and because the cold
air circulates more freely in the ham
per. some claim that the apples will
keep in storage from three to six
weeks longer if packed in hampers
than if packed in barrels. 1t is very
important to get a package that looks
good that will help to sell the pro-
duct. that will stand travel and suit
the commodity.
With the great amount of apples
grown in Delaware, it is apparent that
there is a wonderful opportunity for
establishing a definite standard of
grades and packages, standard which
would become known in all the mar
kets and thus command price in ac-
cordance with its quality, just so long
as the apples of Delaware are packed
in any other than according to estab-
lished standards, just that long will

VIRGINIA BANKS AID FARMERS
TO PURCHASE PURE.BRED SIRES

The banks of Charlottesville, Va,

to oo growing more favorable, and the

SANDY AND CLAY SOIL

The chief virtue of sandy soil,
says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is that the
roots of plants can pass through
it readily; it's chief fault is that
it dries out too quickly. Clay
soil holds water well, but it
tends to pack and harden. Both
types of soil need stable manure
it lOosens up clay and helps
sand to hold moisture.

Christian Church, Louisville Ky, told the Con- gress of Disciples of Christ (Chris- titan Church) here today that "any theory of evolution that derives man from the lower orders of creation is unscientific and tends to destroy faith in the Christian religion"
 ''The president of one of the old est and best known colleges of Vir- ginia," said Rev.
