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.'

as the senate, and more so. He

CLUB BOOSTS FLAX

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.

NEW YORK. Feb. 16. (AP)
Charles D. 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

.nd could see no reason why Mrs.
McPherson should not be allowed
to give the world i.er message

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. (AP)
Further .evidence of the anxiety
with which the Washington gov
ernment is watching developments
in the Nicaragua civil war came
' t.day with disclosure by the navy
department that a division of six
i observation planes and a company
'of marines . had . been assigned to
! report to Roar Admiral Latimer at
! 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.
