The plan TO make of Monticello a
patriotic shrine is not new. 1t has
been urged through a half century by
distinguished Americans and advocated
by representative organizations pledged
to its fulfillment..
In all its recurrent phases, the
movement has met with public under
standing and sympathy but never was
il possible to arrive at a definite ar
range ment with the owner of the
property. Never was there a time when
the American people could be definitely
assured that a clear way to the acqui-
sition of Monticello was open to the
public All efforts in that direction
failed and even a Congressional hearing,
which held the affection of the entire
county few years ago, resulted in
nothing.
The whole question of national
memorial to Thomas Jefferson was in
this condition when the present Foun-
dation come into corporate being. The
special incentive behind its organiza-
tion was a knowledge that the Month
cello project-so long discussed-so
long delayed-had at last reached the
now or never stage.
The splendid property was to be
broken up. Disintegrated, it would
pass into many hands and the Nations
oppoltunfty would be lost forever

4 MECHANICAL TOMATO PEELER
\ Valuable Invention By Alfred ].
DUPONT

The problem of getting enough
women to skin tomatoes in cannefles
has been a trying one in recent years.
Two years ago two young inventors
presented to Alfred l. dupont, in VIII
mington, a plan to remove skins ana
cores from tomatoes, upon which they
secured a basic patent. This plan was
to put the tomatoes by hand onto a
conveyor which took it to machine.
Mr.. dupont decided to make it sue
cess &c save labor some plan must be
devised to get the tomatoes on the
convevor without hands,
While cruising on his yacht in Long
Island Sound. nair. dupont noticed
eame Tomatoes floating in the water
The thought came to him that each
tomato was floating with the stem up.
That solved the skinning problem 1or
the new machine.
The tomatoes are dumped into a
tank filed with water. As they float
with the stem up they are taken py
flowing water to a conveyor oelt;
which emerges from the tank and
takes them into high pressure steam
oven. As they emerge from the not
oven they are given a spray OF col''
water which cracks the SKIN. 1ney
proceed over knives which cut the SKIN
on the under side, then to the pressing
rolls which pushes the tomato belo"
and leaves the skin and core on the
conveyor. The core and skin are
taken to by product department and
the tomato to the inspection table
where defects are picked out, then TO
the hopper to be pressd into cans.
The method of skinning tomatoes
will take the place of 100 women peel
ers and save $3.50 daily.
At Laurel, Del, $1,000 cases of to-
matoes were packed the past season
and no hand touched the tomatoes.
The machine is being manufacture
bv the Clean Food Packing Machn'
Company, to be leased to tomato
packers.
This is another labor saving device
to reduce the cost of preserving food

To Know Spraying Dates

Prspared BY the United States Department
Of AE-icLIItllre-l

CPrsDared BY the United States Department
OF Agriculture
While IL has long been recognized
that climatic factors influence the
severity OF the ravages OF the codling
moth In fruit orchards. IL was not IN
I'll recent years that the close relation
ship between the temperature OF the
air and the development and activity
OF the moths has been studied and
charted. Cooperation between mete-
biologists and entOmolOgists Of the
United States Department Of a Agricul-
ture and state hOrticulturists IN Wash
tngtOn has contributed 10 the more
efficient control Of the moth. which Is
particularly destructive Co apples and
pears.
Experiments conducted ar the wealth
er bureau station at WaIIa WaIla,
Wash, have shown that codling moths
do not deposit eggs when the temper
ature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Observations have shown also that
three-fourths Of the eggs are laid be-
tween 3 Q. m. and .. N. The prac-
lcaI application Of these facts IS that
when there is a temperature OF so de-
grees Fahrenheit or higher at 8 0. m.
for two or three nights in succession
the use Of a spray is indicated az
enough eggs will have been produced
TO cause considerable later damage.
As these eggs will hatch IN from one
20 three weeks, depending on the tenn
perarure, the spray must be applied
accordingly. II the weather turns cold
after the eggs are laid. that IS. with
maximum temperatures Of 10 degrees
Fahrenheit OF below, the spray would
not have to be on the trees for 10
days or two weeks while IL il remains
at - degrees or higher the spray
should be on IN a week.
As the cost Of spraying adds ma.
teriaIly 20 the expenses OF an orchard
it is very essential that the work bs
done when most effective. Thermom-
eter shelters have been installed by
the weather bureau IN three different
parts Of the WaIIa Waua fruit district.
TO aid in the work Of determining the
proper spraying dates for the codIing
moth.
