Second, that In order to secure the full efficiency of the agricultural col leges and experiment stations, the government should co-operate .with the states in agricultural extension work, this work to be under the di rect supervision of the agricultural colleges. With an adequate appro priation a comprehensive system of traveling agricultural schools, farm ers' Institutes and free circulating II- Draries could be maintained, and publications Issued for free distribu tion so that all Important discover ies of the experiment stations could be given to every farmer of every state.

SUCCESSFUL FRUIT WRAPPING MACHINE A fruit wrapping machine has been put In operation in California which requires practically no atten tion and automatically wraps the fruit. The fruit rolls down a slight incline to the operator, turning slowly over as It approaches him, and giving him an opportunity to remove defective specimens. The fruit is lifted and placed stem up in rubber cups, which carry it to a mechanicm operating much as the human hands. It Is carried to the paper being cut and printed from a roll. A twist of the paper Is made over the stem ends, thus cushioning them to protect against Injury.. If the machine becomes clogged It Is stopped by a clutch operated by elec tricity.
