which very quickly breaks, and from
one cause or another becomes weak
and unproductive, is subject to all
the extremes of weather or climate
of the district. The older trees when
top-grafted are very often disappoint
ing in returns.
"The location of the top-grafted
wood on the old trees is disap-
pointment. The fruit is placed far out
from the trunk and usually is harves-
ted at a great disadvantage. During
the first few years of fruiting these
top gratis often giSe good promise
which is not fulfilled after they at
tain an age Of six or more years"
Professor Morris declares that the
old grated stubs are difficult to pro-
tect from decay, requireing more work
than the average fruit grower can af-
ford to give to such make-shift or
chard. Top-grafting should be thought
of only as make-shift use of poor
situation and also a rnake-shift that
will be distinctly disappointing when
practiced on trees that are in heavy
fruit production. It is usually wiser
plan to make the best Of the old
varieties that exist or remove the
trees and replant with the varieties
desired.

France and the United States WV,
Join in honoring the memory of
the patriots of both countries who

American Colonies, and especially in

George Washington, during the six
months of the International Colonial
and Overseas Exposition, sponsored
by the French Government, which

Celebration of the Two Hundredth
Anniversary of the Birth of George
Washington in 1882 to the attention
of all nations.
To emphasize and cement the long
standing friendship of the United
States and France, which began dur
ing the American Revolution, an
exact and fullsize reproduction of
Mount Vernon, home of George
Washington, is being constructed on
the banks of the River Seine to
serve as the administration building
for the American exhibit.
c. Bascom Slemp, of Virginia, who
is Commissioner-General of the
United States to the French EXPOSE
ton, is also member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the George
Washington Bicentennial Commission
He has just returned from Paris
and is now busily engaged in arrang-
ing to have appropriate furnishings
and other material sent from this
country to be placed in the duplicate
of Mount Vernon on the Seine, and
to have the overseas possessions of
the United States represented by ap-
propriate exhibits at the exposition.
The executive committee of the

Commission has adopted resolution
officially endorsing the reproduction
Of Mount Vernon in France. The
building, in addition to being the

be used as museum in which will

use OF ELECTRICITY ON
FARM is INCREASING

During the last six and one hall
years work definite observations have
been made on over 100 different APP
plications Of electricity on the farm
and in one farm home, stated E.. c.
Johnson, dean of the college of agri-
culture and director of the expert
: ut station, before the students of
the rural electric short course this
week. Dean Johnson gave summary
OF the research work on the uses of
electricity on the farm conducted by
the Washington committee on the
relation of electricity to agriculture.
The committee has been aware of
many additional applications of which
no study has been made, said Dean
Johnson. In the % states where COM
mittees similar to the Washington
committee are working, over 200 diff
ferent types Of applications on the
farm and in the farm home have been
found
The Washington committee in CO.
operation with the experiment station
of the State College has published
seven bulletins on electricity for farm
use on such subjects as dimming de-
vices for poultry house lights, electric
incubation and brooding, electric hot
beads, stationary spray plants, cleo
trio hay hoists, irrigation west of the
Cascades, and the farm. In addition
it has published six annual reports
dealing with observations of the uses
OF electricity on the farm within the
state of Washington and several spec
lal reports, one of which deals with
the heating of apple washing solu-
tions.
The effort made in this state and
IN other states to adapt electricity
to farm uses has had large influence
on the rural Identification movement.
On January l, 1924, 1873 per cent of
the farms in Washington were sup
piled with electric energy; on June
80, 1880, six and one-half years later.
57.25 per cent of the farms in Wash
ington, Or an increase of over 200
per cent were using electricity. On
these same dates the percentage of
farms in the United States receiving
electric service from central power
stations were 2.61 per cent and SO
per cent, respectively. While these re-
suits were not entiyely due to the
work of the committees on the rela.
ton OF electricity to agriculture in
the several states, these committees
IN large measure have blazed the trail
and have rendered an important ser
! vice to the nations agriculture.
