Shortage Some Varie-
ties ADple Trees

Buckfield, Me, Jan. Sin a commu-
pication sent out Monday. c. l.
Pierce of the Maine Fruit Growers
Exchange says:
There is a very good interest in the
Community Orchard Planting Plan in
various sections of the State and the
total number of trees ordered to date
is o6,905.
There is an extreme shortage of
two-ycar- old Wealthy, Mcintosh and
Wolf River trees and the Maine Fruit
Growers Exchange will rot be able
to accept any more orders for two
year trees in these varieties unless
they can find more trees. Expect to
be able to get one or two thousand
more two year Wealthies but there is
no prospect to being able to get any
more Mcintosh and Wolf Rivers.
The crop of two year Mcintosh and
Wealthy trees for 1923 is soing to he
very short. Some of the largest Nur-
series will not have any as their one
year trees are all sold out now, lcav-
ing nothing to grow into tWo-ycar
trees for 1923
In view of this situation we advise
all growers, who want to plant eth
or OF these varieties in the spring of
1928, to place their order as soon as
possible. Growers who want any of
the varieties of trees that are avail
able should not delay in getting their
order in as the supply is very limited
on most of the approved varieties.

Kicked Over Europe

During the German advance in
, France the Douai Art Galleries conf
mittee caused several of their best
pictures to be concealed in private
houses One of these was painting
by CorrccGio representing the Mag

the picture with them and hung it ur
in railway coach. For long time
the COrroggio Travelled backward and
forward between France and Ger
many without any one knowing its
value. a German officer eventually
had the painting removed and hung
up in home for old soldiers. During
the revolution a soldier took the
painting with him to Hamburg and
sold it for a few MARKS to a cafe pro-
prictor. A visitor to the cafe recog-
Dzcd the painting as an old master
and made inquiries about its origin.
The inter allied commission took the
matter in hand and had the painting
sent to Douai.-London Times.

Gauge the Heat

Scientists are now experimenting

Technology at Cambridge, Massa-

gasoline for automobiles may be most
efficiently vaporized.

curing a uniform mixture of fuel and
air in the proper proportion before
distribution to the cylinders. The
only reasonably practical way of ac-
complshing this seems to be in hav-
ing the fuel nearly or preferably
completely vaporized. In order to
vaporizc present commercial gasoline
or any less volatile completely, it is
necessary to add some heat from eX-
ternal sources"
The scientists give a detailed ac-
count of their experiments in the cur
rent number of the Journal of Indus
trial and Engineering Chemistry. The
resulting data is presented in such
form as to make it readily possible to
calculate with sufficient accuracy for
all practical purposes the resultant
temperature of an air fuel mixture.
The information gathered is of value
in determining the proper condition
for securing completely yaporiZed
mixture of air and fuel in various
types of carburetors and heated man
fold. The result also indicates that
the net effect of compression stroke
on motor is to vaporize. rather than
condense the fuel, and hence the most
difficult problem in connection with
the vaporization of fuel is\to secure
satisfactory distribution.
