A new "Yankee wrinkle" iu the shape of a fruit-wrapping machine, has been invented in California. Thi invention places upon the market fruit bearing tbe label "Machine-wrapped fruit not handled by hand." Xhe machine doing tho work is a marvel of mechanical ingenuity, says Orchard and Farm, it is attached to the end of tho grader and receives the orange direct, it is simple to operate, com pact and perfectly automatic. It re ceives the fruit on an eudlets chain at tached to which are a series of cis, feltlined and separated by rubber partitions. Xhe wiappers are cut from roll, after the manner of printing presse, and after being printed, are out the desired size, when they are ready for the orange. A unique de vice twists the paper perfectly tight about tbe orange, which is held in place at the top by a ruober plunger, while the other end rests on a f lt tippod rod. Ho closely is the orange wrapped that it is believed that it will he practically Impervious to moisture. Xo provo thut the machine will not barm tbe skin of fruit, eggs have been run through tho machine and wrapped without cracking the shell. Xhe ma chine has a capacity of wrapping 7'J oranges a minute, of 40,000 every ten hrurs, It would wrap a carload iu a day uud a half. It is coming to a point where all the finest fruits are wrapped peaches, pears, apricots, plums, etc, the machine wrapper may become of general and practical use iu fruit rnislug sections throughout the country. i'ear Wight Decreasing In California Lant week the Fruit X'rado Journal printed a report from Horace W. Duv of Hgobel & Day, who is iu Califor nia, that the ilartlett pear crop there was turning out well, contrary to an prehensions last season thut Han Jose soale wns gettiug the upper hand. Xhe Sacramento Union of March '27 prints a lull report nn this subject from )cano H. Swingle, of the United Stales Department of Agriculture. who at the request of the County llor ticullural Commissioners made a close inspection of several of the large near orchards on tho Sacramento Kivor us to the present condition of the near nitgnt. "In the southern part of Sacramen to Uounty around Courtlaud ami Wul nut drove 1 have visited twenty-one or the largest orchards," nuyi the re port, "in fourteen or those 1 was not able to find any new blossom blight whatsoever, whereas all of them had a good deal at this time last veur. and some were badly Hlfooted. This illustrates well the ofllciencv of the eradication work done last winter iu tho river district, whore the cutting whs thoroughly done. In the other seven orchards exam ined more or less niossom might was found. In most of them the attack was light and a very little bold-ovsr was found to have beon missed iu lust winter s cutting. In two or three places the work of eradication was done poorly, or nrao icany not at nil, and much hold-over blight was left. Here more new bios som blight whs f.iund than iu all the other orchards combined which clear ly demonstrates the danger of neglect ing this work. rive or me pear growers nenr Courtland have wisely placed their orchards iu tho caroof men competent to keep out the blight and these ore ull In tine condition.

A PLAN FOR AN APPLE SHOW As a result of the recent fruit-growers' meetings, much interest has been awakened iu the fruit industry among the farmers of Polk county. A per manent horticultural society, com posed of progressive and wide-awuke growers, bss been organized, and much needed work is being done to place tbe fruit-growing industry on a more profitable and business-like basis. Sentiment is uow strong among the farmers iu favor of holding au tip ple show in Dallas early next autuinu, and a meeting of the growers has beeu called by President 11. H, tlutz to cou sider tbo advisability of making such au exhibit 1'he meeting wiJl be held iu tho courthouse in Dallas on Satur day, May 11), at i o'clock p. in. and a large attendance is expected. Leading orcbardistsare of the opin ion that an apple show would prove a valuable means of arousing interest among tbe farmers iu putting their old orchards in better shape and Iu engaging iu apple growing on a more e tensive scale. J'ormei exhibits held in various parts of tbe state have dem onstrated the fact that tbe Willamette Valley is capable of producing as good apples as can be grown in the north west, and that with careful cultivation, frequent spraying and progressive management the apple crop could be made to yield huge profits to the farmers each year. It is believed thu an exhibit of choice fruit by the farm ers who are taking care of their or cards would stimulate the people geu erully to join in au enthusiastic and concerted increment to restore to the Willamette Valley its once proud title "The Home of the II lg Hed Apple." Xhe meeting of the growers one week from tomorrow is also called for tbe purpose of determining what action shull.be tukeu by the society iu aid ing the county fruit inspector in en forcing the law against farmers who have neglected or refused to spray and clean their orchards when notllled to do so. Other matters of iutere t will come up for disoussiou and a lively and profitable meeting is anticipated. Dullas Observer. Announcement.
