F FRUIT QUALITY
DEFINED BY
EXPERT

What constitutes quality" in fruit
and the factors that affect quality
were discussed recently by DR.. U. P.
Hedrick, horticulturist at, the New
York State Agricultural Experiment
Station in Geneva, in an effort to
define the term quality" as used by
horticulturists.
Quality in fruit is rather elusive
characteristic that gives individual
ity to the variety but is quite apart
from the tangible characters of the
fruit, such as size, color, texture,
ETC., says DR.. Hedrick who points
out that quality is becoming increas-
ingly important commercially.
Elements of Quality
"Those who grow and those who
buy fruits are often confronted with
the word quality, says DIR. He'd
rick. This variety is said to be of
the highest quality another va
riety may be low in quality What,
then, is quality? Both those who
buy and those who sell should know
ton of flavor, aroma, iuiciness and
tender flesh which makes fruits
agreeable to the palate The hest va
rieties of fruit also have that subtle,
undefinable thing called individu-
atty, thing quite aside from any
tangible character. Every good fruit
should have a distinct and pleasing
individuality.
f, mr.
more to have commercial value. Peo.
pie do not want coarse, turnipy
fruits. More and more they are be.
ing educated as to what varieties are
of high quality. The hest example of
high quality now before the public
| is the Mcintosh apple, which dis
plays the highest quality of it's kind
and now holds high place in all
Eastern markets.
Can Be Improved
equality in fruit cannot be greatly
altered by cultured practices, al
though those practices which give
the best tree growing and yields,
generally speaking, also give the best
quality fruit. Quality is affected
very materially by seasons, however,
and the consumer should bear this
in mind in buying apples.
For example, Mcintosh will con-
tinue to hold its own as the best
quality apple of the season until
after the holidays, although it will
be rated as a good apple until March
or April Soon after the beginning
of the new year, however, Cortland,
an offspring of Mcintosh. will sup
pIant Mcintosh hecauSn nf it's SIine-
riority, although just at present
Cortland cannot be rated as OF first
quality. Such changes in quality
might be Illustrated by many vari-
eties of several fruits"

Feet of EnglishwOmen

LONDON. Feb. G.N.Sl.--En'
glishwomen's feet are getting larger.
Researches made by the English
Boot Trade Association disclose
that the craze for daintiness at
the expense of comfort has prac.
tically disappeared. and that En-
giishwomen no longer ask for a
size when they need 5.
Most English shoe stores during
the last 10 years have had to re-
wise the type of their stocks to
meet the change. For every En-
giishwoman who walks into shoe
store and asks for a size ).

larger sizes. according to retailers.

The motion picture director was

never been apprehended. although
police here are Of the opinion
that he was killed by his valet,
Edward Sands, an ex-convict. who
disappeared following the murder.
TWO prominent picture actresses
Mary Miles Minter and Mabel

the murder, but police iuvestiga

since then the case has been
brought to the fore at intervals
by individuals who claimed to
know something Of the citcuul.

Authorities here declare that
nothing came OF these invests
cations.
Now that Former Governor
Friend w. Richardson has stated
that he had positive proof that
TAYLOR was slain by q motion
picture actress, the mystery was
being probed with renewed vigor
again. ~ @
Richardson indicated that he
had been given his inform alton
by q Folsom prison convict, pur-
ported eye witness to the murder,
who was later paroled and was
last heard Of In Mexico.

causes Of the disturbances.
The only war-like actions In
which the United States forces
were engaged during 1929 were
some minor brushes between
United States Marines and Mic
