WASHINGTON APPLE CROP
HEADS NATION

Seyenty~fivc years ago the Lew
cling Brothers brought a wagon
load of nursery stock overland
from the Mississippi valley to the
Oregon territory and established
the first fruit orchard in the
northwest.
Not hesitant about trying new
methods when the need arose, 1he
industry has grown until today the
apple crop of Washington leads the
nation, not only in size and value.
but in appearance and quality as
well, y says DR.. j, X. Magess, heed
of the department Of horticulture.
Pioneering is not over, how
ever AT present the industry is
in one OF the greatest transition
periods it has ever experienced
with the result that this year g
apple crop of the northwest has
gone to market cleaner and more
tempting than ever before.

DETERMINING
AGE OF THE
EARTH
By Garrett P. Serviss

what method do scientists
use to determine the age of the
earth? How can they tell that
the earth Is millions OF years
old?-E. E. L., Fredericktown.
Ohio"
THERE Is nothing but the plain.
Il est, common sense employed
in determining from geological OBJ
servations the age of the earth.
1t is the same kind of common
sense that the jockey uses In de-
termining the age of horse by
examining the state of its teeth.
And considering the fact that the
geologist has to deal with an or
ganism whose existence stretches
over millions Of ages instead OF
only a few short years, his esti-
mates are relatively at least as
accurate as the horse Jockeys.
An error of a month or two in
the Jockeys guess is effectively
as great as an error OF million
years in the guess of the scientist.
Niagara a Clock
II you go to visit Niagara Falls
you will see one of the minor
clocks of the geologist in running
order. Seven miles down stream
from the spot where the great
cataract now shakes the earth
and fills the air with mist is the
edge of a rocky escarpment where
the babyhood of Niagara Falls
was passed. From that place the
plunging river has worn, and torn
it's way backward at an average
rate of say five feet a year. Five
feet a year is about mile in a
thousand years. AS the gorge
that has been cut is seven miles
long, the inference of common
sense is that at least 1000 years
have elapsed since Niagara was
born. Owing to changes in the
river flow the period has prob
ably been much longer than that;
it could not have been less.
But Niagara Falls is recent
creation in geological history.
You must know that hills and
mountains are slowly worn down
by the weather. The Mississippi
River carries nearly six hundred
million tons of sediments into the
Gulf of Mexico every year. With
its great tributaries, the Missis-
sippi has carved out a vast sys-
TEN of broad valleys, and vet
measurements show that 1t takes
nearly 1000 years to wear down
the drainage area of the Missis-
sippi one single foot!
Story Of the Rocks
You go out to look at the mar
wells of the spectacular South
western part of our country, and
you come upon the heart-quaking
verge of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. There you see the
multi.colored strata of rocks,
splendid as solicited rainbows
cut through by the immense river
gorge to a depth Of more than
a mile! A geologist will prove to
you that all of those vast layers
Of rock are composed Of the con-
solidated fragments of preceding
rocks which were worn down
ages ago. and deposited as sedi-
ments at the bottom OF shallow
seas existing where now mountain
