THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
Jewish community, in action on Sat-
urday night.
Senitix

The Semitix club basket ball quint
captured it's fourth straight game in
the race for the intermediate cham
pionship from the Wells Memorial
House Intermediates, by the score of
10 to 5. The Wells were held to one
field goal Pink and Kaufman starred
for the winners, the first named scor-
ing prettily three times in the last
half, right from the tip-off in the CEN
ter. Bessler, at running guard, also
played fashy game.
Marshall Terrace has the only other
undefeated team in the division, the
Ta1mud Torahs having gone down be-
fore them last Saturday, Is to IS.
The Semitix five will meet the crack
Mercury A. C. quint on the Wells Me-
mortal House floor, Saturday, Feb. A.
A battle royal is expected.
Community dances of the club have
been temporarily discontinued until
Maccabee Hall can be obtained for
some evening other than Tuesday. All
league basketball games are sched-
uled for Tuesday evening, which ham
dicaps the dance committee. The
committee will probably make ar
rangements for Wednesday evening
dances, beginning February Is.
Amicis
The Wells Amicis, formerly of the
Talmud Torah, but now of the Wells
Memorial House, defeated the Talmud
-,
of basketball at the Central high
school gymnasium Tuesday, January
81, by score of Is to 8. The "Tom-
mics" were held scoreless the first
half of the game and only three fouls
the second half. Grossman and Os-
trim played good game for the win
ners, while Scheftel scintillated for
the losers. Before the game, Solomon
Epcar, star center of the Amicis, was
unanimously elected captain.
By this victory the Wells Amicis
successfully defeated their most dan
gerous rival and are now on a clear
road to the Junior championship.
From the present indications they are
the only Jewish team in the city to
cop a 1922 basketball champion
ship.
At banquet, to be given by the
club at the end of the season in honor
of the team, large "a" will be
given to each player in appreciation
of the work he has done for the club.
The Amicis have few open dates
and challenge any Junior team in the
state. Those interested, communicate
with Max A. Sherman, Mgr, P. o. B.,

MORE THAN 1000
BUSHELS Or PLUMS
At THE ORCHARDS
Harvesting of Mammoth Crop
Completed Today
HOW FRUIT is MARKETED
Transition from Tree to Ultimate
Consumer Constitutes In
teresting Process +

Plum picking at the Orchards was
completed today and 1t is stated that
the total crop is well up toward 1000
bushels Apple picking viii begin
right away In fact It started even
before the plums were all In.
The hail storm knocked good
many barrels of apples off the trees
and thus lessened the amount of
picking to be done but 1t greatly in.
creased the work OF sorting and
packing as every apple has to be in
spected for hail punctures.
The Orchards" Is the largest or.
chard in the world under private
ownership. There are seventy thou.
sand trees, Of which two thousand
are plums. There are eight varieties
bearing fruit this year, the Early
June. cores Arctic. Bradshaw, Guii,
Lombard, Hawkeye, Burbank and
Damson.
Large quantities of plums were
sold to markets in the vicinity OF
Bennington such as Rutland, Proctor,
Pittsfield. Troy and Albany. In Addi-
tou to these four carloads were sent
to the larger markets in Springfield
and Boston. A car will held from
three to four hundred crates depend
ing upon its size and must be iced to
perserye the fruit.
During the day while the fruit is
being picked trucks are sent to the
loading station A fruit car will hold
from three, to four tons OF ice and 1t
is no small task to fill the eight deep
pockets from the top of the car. Ar.
ter the car is iced the doors are clos
ed and the car is allowed to cool.
In the evening the fruit is carried
from the store house by trucks to
car and there placed in the car for
shipment The loading takes several
hours and it is often midnight before
the doors are finally sealed and the car
sent rolling on its way to the eastern
market
The packing Is one of the interest
ing features of the plum industry.
The fruit is brought in by the pickers
and placed on the canvas packing
table, where it is sorted and put into
quart baskets These re placed In
crates. AS soon as the plums are
Grated they are carried by team to
the store houses where they are kept
cool until sold. A normal days pick
ing and packing is two hundred
crates.
One Of the most serious diseases
of the plum is the brown rot, a
brownish white rot affecting all pitt
ed fruit. Once this disease finds Its
way into an orchard it is difficult to
eradicate uneless the trees are given
thorough spraying. All trees in
the Orchards are thoroughly sprayed
several times year and loss from
this dreaded disease as we'll as from
others is kept at minimum.

Washington, Sept 19.-Veto of the
soldiers bonus bin by Pres dent Hard
ing IS expected generally by congress
sional leaders and administration Of
ficers. Some Of Mr.. Hardlng's advisers
say that his message practically has
been completed and they look for him
to send il to the house today after dis.
cussing 1t with his cabinet.
Leaders In Congress were laying
their plans with veto In mind. In
the House 1t was the intention to de-
fer action until Wednesday so as to
keep a working quorum on hand for
disposition OF important conference re
ports on other measures
a Senate vote might be deferred
until Thursday, depending largely
upon the hour OF the House vote.
Meantime, however. both opponents
and proponents were marshaling their
forces with indications that the roll
call would show the largest attendance
OF senators in months.
Headed by Hanford MacNider. ma.
tional commander of the American
Legion a delegation representing va
rious veterans organizations called at
the White House yesterday to make a
final request OF the President that he
sign the bonus measure. Commander
MacNlder told Mr. Harding that I'VE
have no threats to make politically
but that the organization hoped "the
will Of the American people, as ex
pressed by the action OF Congress
will be carried out
Some members of the delegation
quoted the President as saying thai
he would be glad to see bonus meas
ure enacted into law if he were con
vinced that it would not entail 9
greater cost to the government thar
$40, ,0O0.O 100000 and would take care o
the able.bodied veterans for all time
They said he added, however, his be
lief that there would be an ultimate
outlay of $4,000 OOO, 600
Apparently convinced that thu
House would vote by a large majorit,
to override a veto, Senate foes Of tn,
bonus redoubled their efforts to Obtain
a safe margin there. They claimed g
senators as certain, with the probu
bility that by the time a vote cam
this number would be increased to 3G
