Already this program has led to the develop­ ment of cars that differ widely in type and special features, each designed to serve a special purpose. Thousands of dollars are being i spent annually in attem pts to make fruit trees bear which are unprofit­ able simply because a given variety Is not at home In the p articu lar section where It was planted, according to W. 8. Borck, of the pomology division, college of agriculture, University of Illinois. Most of the tim e and money thus spent Is wasted, thus giving at least one Incentive to choose varieties carefully, using as a basis the experi­ ments and observations of reliable agencies such as the colleges and the , experiment stations, he said. •‘The variety Is tlie key to success ful fruit growing, but varieties of fruit vary widely In adaptability, both to %>ll and climate. A variety may thrive on some of the fertile, well drained soils of w estern Illinois, but refuse to beur profitable crops when planted on other types of soil In the same latitude. Still other varieties are quite tolerant of poor soil condi­ tions, but need such a long season for proper development th a t they can be grown only In the South. "For horticultural purposes, Illinois, for lustunce, muy be taken as con­ sisting of three districts ench com­ posing roughly one-third of the lati­ tude covered by the state. V arieties adapteil to each district have been tabulated and such variety lists are available for free distribution to res­ idents of the state who request them of the experim ent station of the col­ lege of agriculture. “in addition to adaptability, choice of variety depends upon the use for which a fruit plantation Is to be planted. A home orchard may con­ sist of many varieties, the ripening season of which should extend from the earliest to the latest. A commer­ cial orchard should have few varieties In order that a large volume of fruit Is ready ut one tim e to facilitate economical marketing. Thus a farm apple orchard might contain 20 vari­ eties with only 30 trees, while a com­ mercial orchard of 1,500 trees should have not more than 5 varieties. "A pencil orchard for home use would he Incomplete with less than a doxen ' rees, hut a commercial peach orchard if 100 acres will In most cases con­ tain but two vnrletles. "The variety question Is a local one and no orchard should be planted without considering all of the above questions In addition to securing nch Information ns may he obtained by visiting fru it plantations In the neighborhood.” G ENERAL MOTORS Through its laboratories, which are the largest autom otive laboratories, General Motors 6eeks to look into the future.
