GARDEN OF EDEN IN CHINA?
Logical Reason for It's Location
There Has Been Advanced by
Government Surgeon.

If the theory of evolution is not
fact Adam, according to Dr. Charles
Stiles, government surgeon, noted 20
ologist scientist and diScoverer OF
hookworm germs must have survived
for $50 years all the germs which af.
fllct men today; the Garden of Eden
must have been In China, and Noah
must have taken the germs In and
out of his ark as easily ms he did the
larger forms of life If It is to be
conceded that those germs were orig.
lnally created In some form other than
rs disease germs, the theory of evolu.
ton stands admitted.
"Since disease germs are depend
ent for their existence on animals
and plants in which they cause dis.
ease, 1t is clear that these germs could
not have been created or existed prior
to the creation of their victims" Doc
tor Stiles declares. "a challenge Of
this deduction would be an admission
that the germs were not created as
they are today, but that they later
evolved into disease germs; but this
would be an admission of evolution"
Admitting that Adam survived
these, Doctor Stiles says, it must be
deduced that the Garden of Eden was
in China, because that is the only
place where man is known to survive
many diseases with which the human
body is afflicted.

The Desire to Excel.

The desire of excellence is the neces
sary attribute of those who excel. We
work little for thing unless we wisf
for it. But we cannot of ourselves esti
mate the degree of our success in what
we strive for; that task is left for
others. With the desire for excellence
comes, therefore, the desire for appro
baton. And this distinguishes intel.
lectual excellence from moral excel.
lence for the latter has no necessity OF

WATER CORE IN APPLES IN
WESTERN PART OF STATE
BY Arthur Frank
Plant Pathologist, Western Wash
ington Experiment Station

Water core of apples is common
in the fruit of many varieties OF
apples in western Washington. 1t
is commonly seen during the sum-
mer and fall and often at this sea-
son of the year may cause COM
plant on account of apples break
ing down in storage. In most eases
this internal breaking down, turn
ing brown and mushy, resembling
a rot, is due to to the apples being
seriously affected with water core
when they are picked.
Water core is not due to any
fungus, bacteria or insect but is
due to an internal disturbance
caused by abnormal water rela-
ton Of the tree itself. The trouble
shows itself as a peculiar CLASH
ness of the fruit and about the
core. This may frequently extend
outward to the region just be-
meath the skin and the affected
fruits may be told on looking at
it. However. often the presence
of the condition is sometimes diff
ticult to detect externally. These
hard, watery, transparent areas
may be present in scattered areas
through the flesh. There is
sweetish fermented odor and the
taste is similar to that of frozen
fruit.
Cause.-The cause of the condi-
ton is the presence Of excess wat
er in the affected tissues. Low
temperatures, saturated atmos.
phere-any conditions which
cause reduced giving off Of water
by the leaves is the chief cause.
This results in increased sap pres
sure, the roots remaining active,
and the water is forced into the
spaces between the cells of the
fruit, giving the affected area its
peculiar appearance.
Factors which may produce con-
ditions which tend to induce water
core are vigor in trees. Excessive
water supply-a superabundance
of water coming just before ma
turity of the fruit, accompanied by
by high atmospheric humidity will
cause the appearance of t h e
trouble Rapid changes Of atmos-
phere also induce it, accompanied
by wet conditions. This set of
conditions just mentioned seems
to be the most common condition
here in the fall. When the sun
shines it may get quite warm. The
night temperatures are apt to be
low. Often there is an abundance
of water and lots of cloudy wealth
err. Another factor is the reduc-
ton of leaf area which may take
place through work of disease or
insects. Excess tension set up in
cells by too rapid ripening will al
so induce water core.
The control of water core is very
intimately wrapped up with elm
Astrological factors, so that the
trouble can not be wholly prevent

these are as follows: /. Thinning.
the crop. 2. Normal cultivation
if practiced. 3. Proper drainage.
f. Spray to keep foliage in good
condition and improve health of
tree in general. 5. Pruning to be
done in winter. 6. Pick fruit in
proper season; do not allow to
hang on tree after it is ready to
pick. 7. Put into storage as soon
as picked. If affected fruit is not
seriously injured it will recover
from water core under proper
storage conditions. The storage
should be cool and of even tenn
