Fruit Production in Australasia 



The following table gives the esti- 

 mate of the Fruit World of Australasia 

 of the 1014 cro]) of apples produced in 

 the different districts and shows, com- 

 paralivelv, the actual productions of 

 1912 and 1913. It will be remembered 

 that .\ustralasia is in the Southern 

 Hemisphere, with seasons opposite to 

 our own, their winter being our sum- 

 mer and vice versa The first steamer 

 carrying apples from Australasia is 

 l)noke(l to sail therefrom about l-"ebru- 

 ■Avy 14th, arriving in London about the 

 lirst of April. II will be seen that about 

 six weeks are rccpiired for the tiip.

Cement-Coated Nails 



A company in Boston, Massachusetts, 

 has obtained a patent on coating wire 

 nails with an asphaltuni cement which 

 greatly increases their holding power. 

 Most of the wooden-box factories use 

 lliese nails, and they are also especially 

 desirable for nailin.g flooring, siding, 

 etc. The following table gives the com- 

 parative adhesive resistance of conmion 

 smooth wire nails and cement-coateil 

 nails;

 wood. All nails were left with their

Breaking Up "Plow Sole" 

 Flow sole, the tough, impervious 

 layer just beneath the customary plow 

 depth, must be broken up before drain- 

 age can be cfTecled, says Ira A. Wil- 

 liams, ceramist at the Oregon Agricul- 

 tural College, in discussing drainage. 

 The action of roots in seeking to i)ene- 

 liate this layer shoulil be aided by deep 

 plowing, sub-soiling and use of clover, 

 velch and alfalfa, which have power to 

 force their way inio very refraclor\ 

 soils. The deep i)lowing should be 

 done when the ground is dry, either in 

 summer or with the beginning of the 

 lirsf fall rains. If the sub-soil comes 

 up in big lumps so much the heller for 

 llie pur])ose. This will bring soil into
