Poor Apple Varieties
Should Be TOp-WOrked

Because of the advisability of re-
ducing the number of varieties of ap-
pies grown in New Jersey, growers
will find it to their advantage to top
graft worthless varieties to desirable
kinds, says the department of pomol-
ogy at the New Jersey State College
of Agriculture, Rutgers university.
Numerous odd and Improbable
sorts are grown in the state, many of
which should be removed entirely,
while others sould be proftably top
worked to standard varieties which
are well adapted for market produc-
ton.
TOp-Working may be done success
fully on trees less than twenty-five
years old, provided the following pre-
cautions are observed: The trees
should be healthy; Lot headed too
high; the scaffold limbs should be
suitably located so that desirable
shape will result after grating !;
cions should be taken from well-ma-
tured terminal shoots or water
sprouts.
With trees that are not more than
five or six years old, all the new
CRAFTS may be inserted at one time.
However, with older trees it is often
preferable to spend two or three
years cutting away only part of the
leaf-bearing surface at one time and
thereby insuring proper development
of the CRAFTS and the rest of the
tree.

Athletic Director Says
Radio Lowers Receipts

Radio broadcasting of football games
cuts down gate receipts, NJ. f. Ahearn,
director of athletics at the Kansas
State Agricultural college, believes.
Ahearn said it was his opinion that
broadcasting was largely responsible
for small crowds at home games in
which the Kansas Aggies' football
team played last year. Only 21,217
people paid admission to see the four
home games. The Nebraska game
drew the largest crowd, $40.
II believe that broadcasting of
games has hurt attendance generally"
Mr.. Ahearn said when there was
threat of rain and the possibility of
muddy roads, people stayed at home,
saved their money and heard the
game reports over the radio. If radio
reports could be shut off within rad
ius of 100 miles and then broadcast be-
yOnd that, | don't think attendance
would be harmed, but, of course. that
is impossible.
ave believe that broadcasting is
one of the services of our institution,
however. and plan to continue with the
air reports"

Desirability of Having
Organic Matter in Soil

One of the important explanations
of the desirability of having guam
tity of humus or decomposing organic
matter in the soil. is found in the ca
pacity of humus for soaking up and
storing water which is thus made
available later for use by growing
plants. Experiments have revealed
that 10 pounds of sand can hold only
% pounds of water, and 100 pounds
of clay soil can hold half it's weight
in water. In contrast, 100 pounds of
decaying organic matter may hold as
much as 100 pounds, or nearly twice
its weight of water. Most soils are
mixtures in varying proportions Of
sand, clay, silt and organic material.
AS a rule the greater the proportion of
organic matter contained in the soil
the greater its water-absOrptive ca
pacity, and the greater reserves of
moisture it will retain for resistance
to droughty and hot weather.

prepared by the United States Department

A suggestion to weighmaSterS at
public stock yards issued recently by
the packers and stock yards division
may also serve as caution to farmers
and live stock producers who main
tain scales on their farms, the United
States Department of Agriculture be-
lieves.
Attention to Details.
ut is essential" said the statement
authorized by DR.. John r. Mohler,
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
that weighmasters give careful atten-
ti0n to the smallest details. Alertness
on their part may enable them to rec
ogniZe and prevent the development of
conditions, apparently trifing, which,
however, may affect the weights OBJ
tanned over the scales. For instance,
it is important that the weighmaster
keep the nOtches of the beam clean.
A little dirt, causing a slight displace-
ment of the pOise, may result in an
appreciable error in the weight. In
recent test it was found that, owing
to an accumulation of dust in the
notches, one of them was u pounds
slow. This meant a loss to the seller
of y pounds for every draft weighed
over the scale in which this notch
was used.
Using Compressed Air.
ut may be of interest to know that
compressed air is now being used to
clean the working parts of scales at
one of the markets. An air compressor
operated by small gasoline engine
and mounted on yard wagon is
pulled up to the scales and used for
blowing out dust, dirt, and rust from
