hands never touch the material. The 

 cans are filled, sealed, cooked, weighed, 

 labeled and boxed entirely by in- 

 genious machinery that defies a human 

 equal for elliciency or sanitation. As 

 an instance of the wonderful cautions 

 taken in the better class canneries 

 these days, the demonstration shows 

 how temperature controllers and tun- 

 ing devices automatically regulate the 

 cooking, insuring uniformity regard- 

 less of how many thousands of cans 

 may be involved. 



In connection with the cannery is a 

 laboratory for the scientific testing of 

 all products. Both chemical and bac- 

 teriological tests are made, the double 

 check being necessary to assure both 

 sterility and uniformity of quality in 

 the factory's output. This laboratory 

 is to be used also for continuing re- 

 search of the exhibiting association 

 during the continuance of the exposi- 

 tion. The basic purpose of this demon- 

 stration is to combat the lingering 

 prejudice against commercial canned 

 goods by showing how, in reality, a 

 great cannery, equipped with all that 

 the last word in science has brought 

 forth for sanitation and efficiency, can 

 turn out a product invincibly superior 

 to the "home-canned" goods.

Will Exhibit at Exposition 



Arrangements and plans are now 

 completed for an elaborate display of 

 the hydraulic machinery products 

 manufactured by The Hydraulic Press 

 Manufacturing Company, Mount Gilead, 

 Ohio, at the Panama-Pacific Interna- 

 tional Exposition at San Francisco. 

 The exhibit is being installed in block 

 11 in the Palace of Machinery. The 

 space to be occupied is 27 feet wide and 

 67 feet long. The exhibit will be in 

 charge of the company's Pacific Coast 

 representatives. The Berger & Carter 

 Co., 1045 Seventeenth Street, San 

 Francisco. A practical hydraulic ex- 

 pert will be in attendance at all times 

 to operate the machinery and explain 



Need JNo Protection 



Rarely do experiments in agriculture 

 disprove commonly accepted beliefs; 

 but this has been the result from a 

 four-year investigation at this station 

 on the effect of various protective mate- 

 rials on the wounds of fruit trees due 

 to pruning. Though many materials 

 were used in the test none was found 

 to be of benefit; for in every case un- 

 treated wounds made as good recovery 

 as those covered. In nearly all in- 

 stances the supposedly helpful cover- 

 ing injured the exposed tissues and re- 

 tarded healing; the mechanical exclu- 

 sion of the germs of plant diseases by 

 impervious coverings and the destruc- 

 tion of these germs by preservatives 

 and disinfectants proved without value, 

 while wounds kept from drying out by 

 some protective material healed no 

 more rapidly than those left open to 

 the air. 



Paints made from white lead, white 

 zinc and yellow ochre were used in the 

 test, as well as coal tar and avenarius 

 carbolinium, which are preservatives 

 and disinfectants, and shellac, which 

 forms an impervious coating over the 

 wounds. In different tests extending 

 over four years these materials were 

 applied, both inunediately following 

 pruning and after a delay of six weeks 

 to allow some drying of the surface, to 

 considerable numbers of large and 

 small wounds of young and old apple 

 trees i)runed in the winter and in the 

 spring; and the action of the same 

 materials on the smaller wounds of 

 winter-pruned jieach trees was under 

 observation for three years. 



In no case was there benefit from the 

 use of any of the coverings. On peach 

 nil were so harmful that it may be 

 safely said no covering should ever be 

 used on trees of this or, presiunably, 

 of any stone fruit. The injury from

shellac was only slight. On the apple 

 the avenarius carbolinium was very 

 harmful, the yellow ochre paint re- 

 tarded healing noticeably and de- 

 stroyed some tissue, the white lead and 

 white zinc were less injurious and the 

 shellac did little or no harm but no 

 good. 



The series of careful, long-con- 

 tinued comparisons and observations 

 indicates unmistakably that pruning 

 wounds on peaches and other stone 

 fruits should never be treated with 

 so-called "protective" covering mate- 

 rials, since their use is decidedly harm- 

 ful. On the apple and other pome 

 fruits there can be no gain from treat- 

 ing small wounds at least, with con- 

 siderable liability to harm. On very 

 large wounds which heal only after 

 several years, or not at all, it is pos- 

 sible that some protection of the wound 

 may be useful by keeping out disease 

 germs, but of this the experiments give 

 no proof.— F. H. Hall, State Experiment 

 Station, Geneva, New York.
