that there is nothing marvellous.
Dean auckland is authority for
the statement that frogs die in
less than a year If they are de-
prived Of air and food, and that
they cannot live more than two
years without food, even if given
plenty of air, so that the old be-
lief that they can live for cen

a fallacy. There must always be
an airhole and means for insects

LEAVES NEEDED
FOR ONE APPLE

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.)
The leaf area of an apple tree is
capable of manufacturing sufficient
food material for given number OF
apples Of good size and quality. On
heavily loaded branches and trees
there is often less than 20 or 80 leaves
per apple, and under these conditions
the fruit is small and of poor quality.
Although some orchardists have prac-
ticed removing a few apples to in
crease the leaf srea per fruit, until
recently there were no experimental
data available to Indicate the exact
number of leaves required per apple.
Thinning has been more or less of o;
guessing operation.
M. H. Halter and J. II. Magness, hor-i
ticulturists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in series of
tests made at the Arlington farm, near
Washington, found that different yari-l
cites vary in the relationship between
the leaf area and the size and quality
Of the fruit For the Grimes and Ben
Davis under the conditions of the tests
at least 80 to 40 medium-sized leaves.
per fruit were necessary to obtain
apples of good size and quality, and
as many as so for the Delicious.
When a smaller number of leaves was
present, the fruit was not only smaller
in size, but was low in dry weight, low
in sugar content. and of poor dessert
quality. 1t was found also that apples
grown with large leaf area ripen
slightly earlier than the same variety
having fewer leaves per fruit.
These determinations were made by
ringing or ''girdling" the bark of a
twig to isolate the fruit and leaves
from the rest of the tree. Other in
vestigations had shown that ringing
largely prevented the passing of nj
trogen and carbohydrates in either di.
rection past the ring, thus making the
fruit beyond the ring depend only up
on the leaves with which it was isO-
lated. BY ringing and thinning the
leaves to q definite number at vary
ing distances from the fruit it was
found also that apples can draw food
material from adjacent leaves and
leaves at distance of to feet with
almost equal facility.

Conference Pear Makes
a Favorable Impression

Among the many pear varieties be-
ing tested by the Michigan experiment
station, one, the Conference, has made
an unusually favorable impression.
This variety is one of the standard
pear varieties Of England, where it, is
grown extensively for the fresh fruit
market and for canning After num-
Der of years on probation, it seems to
be worthy Of more extensive trial
among commercial pear growers and
amateur gardeners. Its season is
about the same as the Bose. In COM
mon storage it can be kept until late
in November, in cold storage much lat
err. The fruit is quite large and Is
shaped somewhat similar to the Bose,
although the neck is not so pro-
nounced. In color alone the Confer
ence falls somewhat short of it's other
splendid characteristics, the color be-
ing greenish russell. However, when
ripe enough to eat the fruit is very
attractive. AS to quality, the Confer
ence, when properly ripened, is the
superior of any of our commercial va
rieties. The tree of this variety is
fortunate in having about as many
good points as the fruit. 1t is medium
in size, very productive, and it enjoys
more than the average resistance to
blight. The Conference is being dis
tributed for trial and should be found
in the collection of every admirer of
pears.

Dangerous Practice to
Stop for Ride Beppars

Kind-hearted motorists are warned
against being too liberal in giving
people rides, in a bulletin issued by
the National Safety council, which
says:
1t often is dangerous to stop for Pc
destrians who want ride. Sometimes
these beggars are hold-up men.
1t is bad taste to pick up girls. III
some cities the police arrest autoists
who get companions this way.
School children who stand in the
roadway, begging rides to and from
school, may be hit by machines or
stumble or slip and fall beneath the
wheels Of the car which has stopped
for them.

Railroad Mileage Now
Exceeded by Motor Bus

Railroad mileage in the United
States now is exceeded by motor bus
mileage, figures compiled by the inter-
state commerce commission reveal.
The survey was made in connection
with the commissions investigation of
the development of motor bus trans
portation in its relation to the rail-
roads.
Preliminary reports show that o.
1858 busses are in operation as common
carriers in line and terminal service
The mileage they cover is placed at
352,SO0, which is considerably greater
than that of the railway lines.
In making public the figures, the
commission explains that they are not
complete in every detail.

OvERHEATINC OF
ENGINE HARMFUL.
1t May Mean Some Mechani-
cal Difficulty or Lack
of Water.

Fever in a human being may indi-
cate merely some digestive disturb
ance, or it may be the symptom of a
serious, deep-seated disorder. An over
heated automobile engine may mean
only that you need more water in the
radiator, or 1t may be the sign of some
grave mechanical difficulty.
A great many motorists think that
fresh supply of water will always act
as a cure for an overheated engine.
This is not true when the overheating
has progressed to the stage where it
Injuries the cylinders, pistons and
bearings.
What Overheating May Do.
For example, bearings will crack if
subjected to tremendous heat. Heat
causes oil to lose its lubricating pow
er, and therefore great heat may cause
fractional scoring of the cylinder walls
and wearing of the pistons.
On the other hand, overheating may
mean that your radiator is leaking
water, that you have forgotten to fill
1t, or that it is clogged with sediment
from dirty water. 1t may mean that
you have been driving for long dis
stance In first or second speed, or
that the fan belt is not at proper ten
sion to give an adequate cooling draft.
If overheating occurs on the road,
do not keep on driving, but stop and
investigate. Filling up the cooling
system with cold water after the en-
CINE has cooled somewhat will afford
temporary relief. Try to find the
cause of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 1t
is entirely due to the cooling system,
or whether it has some other mechan-
ical basis.
II You Must Go On.
When it is absolutely necessary to
continue the journey, overfeed the en-
CINE with oil. This will cause it to
give off volumes Of smoke through the
exhaust, but the additional oil will
protect the cylinders and pistons. In
case you cannot get either water or
oil, and cannot find the cause of the
overheating, telephone the nearest ga
rage and wait for help to arrive.
AS a general precaution, always
keep the radiator of your car full of
water, and make sure that 1t is wa
tertight.

Oil Will Make Steering
Easier for Car Drivers

Steering has been made marvelously
easy, but the driving feature still re-
quires most of car owners energy
that is, he is continually busy at this
particular job. An interesting thought
in connection with this fact is that
the point most frequently ignored in
the fabrication Of car is the top of
the steering wheel. OIL here means a
great deal of energy conservation
when trying to put the car into
narrow parking space. 1t also serves
to eliminate one Of the most annoying
groans or whistles In the machine.

Horticulture Notes

Orchard trees may be pruned on
warm days in late winter.
Study the disease and insect prob
lem before ordering your plants. A
good bulletin or book on this subject
should be secured.
After the trees come into bearing
all old fruit and dead wood should
be removed from the orchard each
season.
The reason that the average home
orchard and berry patch fails to pay IS
because they don't receive enough at
tention to make them produce.
In pruning see that dangerous
crotches and crowding of limbs are
eliminated from young trees to avoid
breaking down when the trees come of
age. The earlier this shaping is done
the less shock to the tree.
As soon as the cold weather is over
peach trees should be pruned. say
Pennsylvania State college horticultur-
lists. AS rule young peach trees re-
ceive too severe pruning, while the old
trees are not pruned enough.
When the leaves are out 1t is too
late for the dormant or winter spray.
Lose no time in preparing for DOR
mant spray if your trees and fruit
bushes show indications of the pres
ence of any of the various scale in-
sects.

The habit of accelerating the

with the idea of making sure
that it's running is as annoying
as it is unnecessary. Watch the

discharge reading, the engine
has stalled. Accelerating the en-
CINE not only wastes gas, but
makes it uncomfortable for 9TH

habit of internationally racing
the engine.

COOLIDGE HAS
DODGED LADIES
WOman's Party Missed
Guess on Vacation Site. q,

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, June 27.-When
President Coolidge slipped away to
the Black Hills and the worm-eat-
ing trout of Squaw creek, he left the
Nationals Woman's party, militant
equad rights group, holding the bag,
so to speak.
The party sought a convention
site close to the summer White
House. That would permit high
pressure populations to call on the
President frequently and in neigh
borly fashion.
Backed by the opinions Of the
forecasters, the Womans party spec
ulated that the President would go
to Colorado Springs and arranged
to have the convention there July
ITO.
They lost, and now when Pixies
Peak, Cheyenne mountain and other
Colorado Springs promontories echo
the clarion calls to the defense OF
the downtrodden female, President
Coolidge will be tucked safely away
in the Black Hills.
Although admittedly disappointed
that President Coolidge outguessed
them, Woman's party leaders said
today that his absence from Colo-
RADIO Springs will not dampen the
convention or upset vigorous pro-
gram.
