Protecting Fence Posts

It is estimated that 500 million
fence posts are installed each year
In the United States. A large share
Of these posts are requirements
Of posts that have failed because
Of rot or termite attack. In view
Of the rising costs Of lumber. an
efficient preservation offers well
come protection for farm dollars
spent on wood products. Much
fence loss can be eliminated by
periodic inspection OF existing
fences. It is advisable to give each
post a push to discover failures be-
fore an animal makes the discov-
cry and seriously damages the
fences. Damaged posts should be
replaced promptly.

Apple, Grown for Juice,
May Return to Orchards

Increasing popularity of apple
Juice may call for the return Of
the drinking apple to U. S. ORCH
ards, says F. c. Bradford, U. S.
department Of agriculture horticul-
turist.
The drinking or beverage apple
for making cider has been widely
cultivated in France and England
since the 10th century. Seeding
stocks were brought to this country
by the Pilgrim Fathers. Trees Of
this type may still be found on
abandoned farms but the drinking
apple has not been an important
variety in this country for more
than a hundred years. Bradford
suggests a denomination Of Euro
pean cider varieties for breeding
characters valuable in developing
new drinking apple varieties for
orchards here.
He points out that apples grown
specially for Juice should be high
in acidity and astringency needed
to give the proper tang to process
ed Juice.
A drinking apple must be cheap
to produce. That means early. fire.
quent, and heavy bearing, resis-
lance to winter cold and spring
frosts, minimum spraying require
ments. and a small size that can
be harvested by shaking. Small
apples bruise less than large ones.
The small apple also has a higher
proportion Of skin and external
pulp where desirable flavoring ma
terials are concentrated. The rip
ening season Of the drinking apple
should be about the same as for
standard varieties.

Lack of Cheap Extraction
Holds up Tar Sands Oil

AthabasCa tar sands. in the
northeast corner of Alberta pro-
vince, Canada, some 500 miles be-
low the Arctic circle. are estimated
to contain several times as much
oil as proved reserves Of the rest
Of the worlds fields, currently
reckuned at about so billion bar
rels.
U. S. bureau Of mines, which has
investigated the 10000 square mile
area Of bituminous sands, placed
its estimate of the potential yield
there at $50 billion barrels Canad-
ian biologists and geophysicists
are more conservative and refuse
to hazard firm guess, while ad-
hitting there is a lot Of oil.
1t is undoubtedly the greatest
surface manifestation Of petroleum
OF the face Of the globe. However,
AthabasCa's tar sands will probab-
ly remain as they are until science
has found a cheaper method of ex-
tracing oil from tar sands, or at
least until our present sources Of
petroleum show greater signs of
exhaustion. At any rate, Athabasca
may be regarded as our ace in the
hole.
