Bovine tuberculosis Fought.

Success is attending the Governments
efforts to stamp out bovine tuberculosis.
Twenty counties with total area Of
$4,000 square miles and cattle popula-
ton estimated as 100000 have been
added to the list of modified areas" in
the national campaign for the eradica-
ton of bovine tuberculosis, it is an
nounced by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. A modified ac-
credited area" is one in which tubercu-
losis has been found to affect not more
than one-half of per cent of the cattle
as determined by official testing and in
which all animals reacting to the tuber-
culin test have been removed from the
herds.
The establishment and official recog-
milton of modified accredited areas has
been in progress five years, and the list
has grown until there are now SGT

Fewer Trees but More Apples.

Owing to improved production meth
DDS the number of apple trees in this
country has decreased in recent years,
but the crop has increased in propor-
tions as well as in quality. The crop of
1926 was the largest ever. This appar-
ent paradox is explained by an in
creased output per tree and by the fact
that the reduction in the number of
trees has taken place largely in scat
tered family orchards and in less favor
ably situated commercial areas. Apple
production for the market, according to
the United States Department of Ag-
ricuture, has been increasing material
ly in some areas through better orchard
management, better selection of varie-
ties and increased bearing capacity re-
sulting from an increase in the age of
the trees

q large portion of the audience.
The Army Band extended its influ-
ence into the civic life Of the COM
munity as well. Frequently Capt.
Stannard, Mr.. Capped and Second
Leader Thomas F. Darcy were guests
of luncheon clubs. On these occasions
they usually addressed members con-
corning the history and purposes Of the
band and soloistS of the band rendered
musical selections. The good will which
resulted from these appearances not
only was of incalculable value in Stimu-
lating attendance at the concerts, but
did much toward building up some such
appreciation of the Army organization
in peace time as was general during
the more stirring days of the war.
Following each of the two tours Capt.
Stannard and Mr.. Capped have received
many letters from local bands deScrib-
ing the benefits derived from the APP
pearance of their more noted cotem-
porary.
Thus the War Departments injunc-
ton that an effort be made to leave
something of value in each city visited,
laid down when permission for the
tours was granted, has been satisfied
to most gratifying extent

its forthcoming trip to Seville. Spain,
where it will be the official musical rep

portions the spirit of friendliness and
helpfulness which has characterized

More satisfying to the War Depart

concert manager, under whose direction
the tour was made, than the glowing

impetus given local bands in the cities
visited by the appearance of "Pershing'S

Almost without exception, the Army
Band was met at the station by the
high school, college or municipal band
to be escorted to hotel headquarters.
In many instances these organiZa-
lions would appear at one of the Army
Bands two concerts, to be conducted
by Capt. William j. Stannard in one
number, following which the Army
Band leader would turn his baton over
to the local conductor to take the Army
Band through one Of its famous
marches.

consult with the artists on the Army
Band roster concerning the various in

the less familiar instruments, Capt
Stannard arranged an original number
in which the respective families of in
struments and divers solo instruments
were given opportunity to display their
range and versatility. The demonstra-
ton in each case was preceded by a
brief explanation by Capt Stannard of
the instruments origin and uses in the
