THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEll! OREGON THURSDAY; MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1927 30 DB 40 LEAVES NEEDED FOR APPLE Fruit Often Small Where Number of Leaves Less Than 20 to Apple KWleaf area of an apple 'tree is capable of manufacturing suf ficient food material for a given number of apples of good size and quality. On heavily loaded .branch es and trees tner la orten less tban 20 or 30 leaves per apple, and un der these conditions the fruit is small and of poor quality. Al though some orchardlsU have practiced removing a few apples to increase the leaf area per fruit, until recently there were no ex perimental data available to in dicate the exact number of leaves , rr-i i i required per ay pie. lumoiug nar rAeen more or less of a guessing operation. hj M. H. Haller and J. R. Magness, horticulturists of the United States Department of Agriculture in a series of tests made at the Arlington Farm, near Washington, found that different varieties vary in the relationship between the leaf area and the size and quality of the fruit. For the Grimes and Pen Davis under the conditions of the tests at least 30 to 40 medium sized leaves per fruit were neces sarv to obtain apples of good size and quality, and as many as 50 for the Delicious. When a small er number of leaves was present, the fruit was not only smaller In size, but was low in dry weight, low in sugar content, and of poor dessert quality. It was found al so that apples grown with, a large leaf area ripen slightly earlier than the same variety having few er leaves per fruit. These determinations were made by ringing or "girdling" the bark of a twig to isolate the fruit and leaves from the rest of the tree. Other investigations had WAaown that ringing largely pre sented the passing of nitrogen nd carbohydrates in either dlrec Tjon past the ring, thus making the frnit beyond the ring depend only upon the leaves .with which it was isolated. By ringing and thinning the leaves 'to a definite number at varying distances from the fruit it was found also that apples, can draw food materia from adjacent leaves and leaves at a distance of 2 to 4 feet wun almost equal facility.'

POLK cone CLUB BOOSTS FLAX W. Bi Batman- of Salem De scribes Industry to Mon mouth Growers OREGON NORMAL. SCHOOL., MONMOUTH. Feb. 16. ( Special) -Monmouth commercial club ban quet, held lat night'in the interest of the flax industry, was well at tended by many interested farm ers of this disrtlet. W. B., Bartram of the State Flax Industryxat Sa lem, gave a very comprehensive discussion of the flax problems, past, present and future and his survey of the possibilities along this line was most Interesting to those present. Mr. Bartram of fered figures showing the acreage devoted to flax growing in the Monmouth district had increased from 139 to 265 in the past few years. He ranks this district among the very best in the state and is now out of the class of ex perimentation. The Salem office is sending out contracts for the flax crops this week, but due to the in crease of acreage many crops can not be handled with their present capacity. Much enthusiasm for this Industry was shown at the meet ing and the outlook is eertainly optimistic. Short talks by many of the visiting farmer on the question, why they are farmer's and would they leave the farms if they could, were interesting feature of the program. Generally speaking the farmers of this district feel great ly encouraged to stick by the farms. NEGROES JUDGE NEGRO Black Jury Finds Man of Own Race Guilty of Possession OROVILLE. Cal.. Feb. 16.

Isaacson announced his resignation today as director of radio statio nWRNY, of the Hotel Roosevelt. He said in re sponse to questions that cancella tion by owners of the station of scheduled talks, on his invitation, by Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson Los Angeles evangelist, was only "infinitesimaliy responsible" for his resignation. Sirs. .McPherson was scheduled on Issacson's invitation to apeak Friday,, Saturday and Sunday, but the invitation was withdrawn yes terday because owners of the sta tion considered It "bad policy" to permit her use of the facilities for broadcasting." Isaacson was oposed to the with drawal of the invitation, he said, .nd could see no reason why Mrs. McPherson should not be allowed to give the world i.er message over WRXY. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.

Corinto. ' I The new orders closely fol lowed these to the naval transport Henderson at Philadelphia, jwhich will sail tomorrow for Newport, Rhode Island, to take aboard 600 blue jackets for duty with the fleet in Cuban waters. While the I le'nderson has no ordeps beyond tixat. at present, she is being held available to transport marines from the Quantico, Virginia, base t.) southern waters, should need tor them develop before she sails for Cuba. " Both the tentative arrangements regarding the Henderson and the orders attaching an independent iviatiqfn unit to Admiral Latimer's forces are described officially as merely precautionary steps under the administration policy of af fording protection to American lives and property in Nicaragua There is -little doubt, however, that cfce continued fighting in Nicar agua around important towns, such as Matagalapa, where there are American and other foreign interests, is causing considerable concern here. i Bonesfeele Motor Co., 4. 4 S.
