Value of Oiled Wrappers
 For Apples Demons

Value of Oiled Wrappers
 For Apples Demonstrated ! Results during 1921 in preventing apple scald in stored apples by the ] use of oiled-paper wrappers have ] confirmed all previous reports that the, trouble may be controlled in this ! way, if the oiled wrappers carry sufficiently high percentage of oil. The United States Department of Agriculture has recommended that the wrappers should carry IS to 20 per cent of oil if they are to be effec-
 tive in preventing the development of scald. When wrappers carrying a low proportion of oil, in some cases
 as low as 5 per cent, have been used
 poorer results have been obtained,
 The demand for the right type of
 oiled wrappers for apples has been
 so great that many of the orders
 from growers have not been filled.
 About 80,000 boxes of apples were
 packed in oiled wrappers at Wenat-
 chee, Wash, last season, and a simi-
 lar number at Yakima, Wash.
 Scala is a transportation and
 storage disease that is produced by
 gases given off by the apples them
 selves. The disease is greatly f2v-
 ored by warm storage and by delavs
 in reaching storage. It is particularly serious on the York Imperial, Grimes, Arkansas (Mammath Black Twig), Rome Beauty, Rhode Island Green ing, Stayman Winesap, Wagener, and Baldwin varieties. In mild cases the apple is merely tinted with brown, but in more severe cases the entire skin layer is killed. The dis ease looks like an apple rot. but is rather cause of rot. The gases which cause scald can be removed by venti- lation or by absorbing them with oils. Apples scald far less in boxes, crates, or ventilated barrels than in the usual commercial barrels, but scald can be entirely prevented by storing the apples in oiled, not wax ] ed, wrappers. This treatment has been found completely successful even when susceptible varieties have been placed in unventilated storage | and held far beyond their usual stor- age season. s~a..~ .s.. .e. .>t

New Means Found to Remove
 Stains from Leather Good


 Leather goods that have been made unsightly by grease spots and that can not be cleaned by ordinary cleaning solutions can often be res tored by methods developed by the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture When shoes, travelling bags, and similar articles come in contact with butter, lard, vaseline, hnseed oil, salad oil, lubricating oil, or anything of the same sort, ugly stains are pro- duced, especially if the leather is of light color, and attempts to remove them with gasoline Or other ordinary grease solvents result in spreading them.
 The method recommended by the | department consists in coating the spots with thick solution of rubber in solvent that evaporates readily and peeling off the coating when it is almost dry. In some cases it may be, necessary to repeat the operation several times. A solution of unvul- canized rubber (Para or Ceylon) in carbon bisulphide, in the proportion of part to 10 parts by weight, as we'll as some of the prepared rubber cements, has been found satisfac- tory. It is important that the cement be very thick and quick drying, and that pure solvent. Since the fumes

Nineteenth Week of Egg Contest

Nineteenth Week of Egg Contest
 The hens in the laying contest at
 Storrs have hung up new record for the nineteenth lap of the race.
 The best previous record for the nineteenth week was 4074 made in the spring of 1920, but last weeks production checked up to 4232 eggs or yield of nearly 61 per cent. Thus the weeks lay was 158 eggs better than the best previous record for the corresponding period and nearly 450 eggs better than the average for the last seven years. A Z Throughout the week the contest was nip and tuck as to which pen would finish first. The fact is that out of the 100 competing pens there were eleven pens not more than three eggs apart during the nine teenth week. Purdue University's pen of Barred Rocks from Lafayette, Ind, finally finished first with score of .55 eggs. H. F, Barber's pen of White Rocks from Dover, Mass, was very close second with mark of 54 eggs. Three pens of Barred Rocks entered by Harry G. Culver, West hampton Beach, L. l., Michigan Poul- try Farm, Lansing, Mich., and H. B. Dennison from East Lansing, Mich., tied with pen of White Leghofns entered by J. Frank Dubois from Vt. These four pens laid 53 eggs each. A Canadian pen of Barred Rocks from Guelph, Ont, a pen of the same breed, from Spencer, Mass, and another pen from Gaze novia, N. Y., tied for fourth place with two pens of Rhode Island Reds from Newburgh, N. r., and Hamp- ton Falls, N. H. These five pens laid 52 eggs each. .-... >.
