ers of such a district as the Wenat-
chez, Washington apple growing dis
trict, could all the fruit on the De-
licious trees in that section be given
the solid red color of the Starking.
Experience has proved that the color,
which the buyer can see, is far more
important than the flavor, or any 9th
er quality in determining the market
price. The markets, however, have
recognized the superior quality of the
Delicious type of apples. Only high
ly cOlored good quality fruit can be
graded extra fancy and get the top
market figure. This teaches that
even orchardists are affected by fash
ion, and must pay attention to the
appearance of their product.
The Starking was discovered on a
single branch of a Delicious apple
tree in a New Jersey orchard. This
branch was observed to be loaded
each year with apples that became
red in late August, a month before
ripening, when the apples on the 9th
or limbs of the same tree were. still
green. This is a natural phenomenon
which occurs possibly only once in
a million or more trees; it is termed
mutation" or an unexplained de-
parture from type, one of the ways
nature has of improving the species
the cause of which men have so far
been unable to explain. By taking
the wood of this exceptional branch.
and propagating il on root stocks.
trees possessing the qualities of the
single branch were obtained, and the
Starking apple was. made available to
all orchards.
The Starking apple was awarded
the American Pathological society's
Wilder medal in 1926. Except for its
color, the trees and fruit of Stark
ing have the same characteristics as
the Delicious. A number of orchard
lists have observed that Starking
bears at a younger age, often when
three or four years old. The apples
have exhibited greater storage endur-
ance, having been kept more than a
year without deterioration. Like the
Delicious ii grows rapidly and is ex-
ceptionally resistant to- the attacks
of insects and diseases.

Champion Trotting Horse
Bolts Track to Eat Grass

An inordinate appetite for fresh
grass is the reason for the wearing
of blinkers by Uranie, Frances cham
pion trotting mare and about the only
trotter in Europe which can turn in
around two minutes for the mile.
The possessor of a kindly temper,
the mare, calm and cool at the post,
never SHES or breaks during race
and horsemen were inquiring of Train
er Capovilla why he found it neces-
sary to put blinkers on her.
$50 that she won't run out If she
sees a grass patch alongside the
track" Capovilla replied. "She pulled
that stunt on me once in Brussels
when as three-year-old and leading
her field by 20 yards, she suddenly
halted and bolted into the landscape"
He explained that Uranie was al
lowed to roam at large in the fields
near Bordeaux until she was nearly
three years old and she could never
get out of the habit of nibbling few
blades of grass, regardless of time,
place or conditions.

Avian tuberculosis Is
Spread by Brood SoWs

Investigators at the Illinois expert
ment station have added another link
to their long chain OF evidence on the
part which avian, or fowl, type of the
disease plays in tuberculosis of swine
and calves. They have shown during
the past year that the avian type of
the disease may be perpetuated in
swine independent of contact with in
fected chickens or contaminated
ground. The evidence has been OBJ
tanned that pigs infected with the
avian type of tuberculosis may pass,
in their feces, virulent tubercle bacilli
capable of establishing the disease in
other pigs independently of other
means. Hence, sows infected with
avian tuberculosis may be looked upon
as a potential means of spreading the
disease TO pigs.

entire season. OF the crops that are
sown for temporary pasture. there is
nothing that will beat sweet clover
where soil conditions are right for it.
Using Method OF Soiling.
A few farmers meet the shortage
of pasture by using the method of
soiling. that is, cutting green crops
for the cows. Corn, clover, and grass
may be used in this way; or certain
crops may be planted specifically for
this purpose, such as oats and peas
in early spring, and soy beans in
late spring. Soiling involves consid-
cradle labor, however, and it is usual
ly cheaper to let the cows gather their
own roughage.

Paper That Won't Burn

A paper that does not burn has been
discovered. The German inventor,
Franz Franck, gave demonstration
recently. He took a sheet of ordi-
nary newspaper, crumpled it into a
ball, and wrapped this highly COM
bustible object in a sheet of his fire
proof paper. Thus protected, he held
it for few minutes in the flame of a
laboratory blast lamp hot enough to
melt glass window-pane. Not only
did the fireproof wrapping survive,
but the ordinary paper inside was not
even scorched.

Growers Are Urged to Treat

As sinking smut of wheat has in
creased rapidly in the United States

than any other plant disease, wheat
growers are being urged TO treat their

f. A. Lungren of the Colorado Agri-

losses of ten TO twelve dollars per
acre. s.1E fcE6
