PRODUCING A HARDY -
APPLE OF GOOD FLAVOR

Crossing hardy varieties Of apples
with semi-hardy varieties Of superior
favor and size, is not difficult for any
one interested in botany or fruit pro-
duction, and may result in a variety
superior to any now adapted to North
Dakota, suggests A. F. Yeager, horti-
culturist Of the North Dakota expert
ment station in answer to an inquiry
about how to improve an apple grown
on North Dakota farm, that had an
excellent flavor but does not keep
we'll. This plan is now being used at
the experiment station in an attempt
to produce better varieties of fruit
than now found In the state.
In crossing varieties, remove all the
stamens, the pollen bearing threads in
the blossoms, just before the blossom
opens UP, taking care not to injure
the pistil, the larger thread in the CEN
:, ter from which the fruit later develops.

College Girls
Enjoy Holiday

Out of the generosity of his large
and sympathetic heart, Doctor Johr
Clayton FAINT, president of M. S. C.
W., gave his thousand adopted
daughters" whole holiday on Mon
day. The young ladies and the in
structors had just passed through an
entire week of examinations, and
many of them were "worn to fraz-
ale" so the president thought holi-
day would give them a needed and
deserved rest.
From early morn until dewy eve,
you could see the bright faced, at
tractiye college girls most any way
you looked. They did some shopping,
patronized the soda fountains, ice
cream parlors and candy stores, and
had a pleasant day. Eskimo Pies and
Hershey's chocolate bars went like
the ever-popular hot cakes. The girls,
on Monday as ,at other times, acted
like they felt perfectly at home in
Columbus. We are glad they feel that
way about it, for Columbus loves the
college girls, and, at least during
their years at the college, looks upon
them as her daughters.
