Artillery and Infantry in u. S. Army

THE American army came out Of the
war with vast amount of artil-
lery, but still lacks the ideal types Of
guns and hOwitzers which a careful
postwar study by army experts in
dlcateS to be the most desirable. On
the basis of the report of the "caliber
board" which made this study in 1913,
however, existing artillery equipment
has been appOrtiOned among the troops
to approximate as nearly as possible
ideal conditions.
One striking fact was developed by
the "caliber board study. Despite the
enormous increase in the amount Of
artillery used by the contending armies,
the board concluded that the princi-
pies Of the use of field artillery con-
tinued unchanged"
Although the French coined the say
ing during the war that "The artil-
lery cOnquers the infantry occupies
the ground" postwar studies do not
confirm this in American military opin-
ion, which holds that the infantry
armed with rifle and bayonet is the
main line of the army and all other
arms designed merely to aid the ad-
vance of the foot troops.
The "caliber board" found that for
the purpose of American field opera.

Who Are the Alaskan Fish Pirates?

PLAN TO REPAIR SPLIT TREE
Large Limbs Can Be Lifted Back Into
Place by Use of Block
and Tackle.

Ten to one there are some trees in
your orchard that are split down, one
big branch on the ground, or perhaps
a crotch has split and the whole tree
has spread. If the tree is worth the
effort, 1t can be saved provided the
split is clean. OF course, if the
branch is splintered and cracked, bet
ter finish the job by saving the branch
off and dressing the wound up as
smoothly rs possible, applying a good
coat of white lead and raw iinSeed oil
to the wound for protection.
If the wound is of such nature that
it can be repaired, lift the branch back
into position; large limbs can be lift
ed back with block and tackle.
Place bolts through the break in
such a manner as to draw the parts
together. A bolt may be placed foot
or 50 above the split to act as brace.
and then the parts of the wornd
drawn together by a bolt or two
through the part split down. There
should be large washers at each end
of the bolts so that the parts may be
drawn together very securely. If a
bolt end protrudes much of dis
lance 1t can be clipped off if desired,
and within a few years the trees will
grow over the exposed heads and nuts.
A little time spent with the brace and
bit and few bolts may save lot
of time 1t would take to set out and
grow new tree.

Hints
VALUE OF OILED WRAPPERS
Their Use Has Confirmed Reports
That ScaId in Stored Apples
May Be Controlled.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Results during 1921 in preventing
apple scald in stored apples by the
use of Oiled-paper wrappers have con-
tirmed all previous reports that the
trouble may be controlled in this way,
If the oiled wrappers carry a suffi-
GENTLY high percentage of oil. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has recommended that the wrap.
pers should carry Is to 20 per cent
Of oil If they are to be effective in
preventing the development of sCald.
When wrappers carrying a low pro-
portion 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
$4,000 boxes Of apples were packed
in oiled wrappers at Wenatchee,
Wash, last season, and similar num-
Der at Yakima, Wash.
Scald is transportation and stor-
age disease that Is produced by gases
given off by the apples themselves.
T2e disease is greatly favored by
warm storage and by delays in reach
ing storage. 1t is particularly seri-
oLs on the York Imperial, Grimes, Ar
kansas (Mamm9tt Black Twig), Rome
Beauty, Rhode Island Greening, Stay
man Winesap, Wagner, 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 disease looks like an apple
rot. The gases which cause scald can
be removed by ventilation or by alb
sCrbing them with oils. Apples scald
far less in boxes, crates, or ventilated
barrels than in the usual commercial
barrels, but scald can be entirely pre-
vented by storing the apples in oiled,
not waXed, 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.
