STORING DESSERT APPLES Such choice verities as the Macin- tosh tarn be retained it: then- frosh- 11 , and full flavour for many weeks when maintained at proper storug" temperatures. The report of the buntmerland, British Colombia. Ex- periment., Station for 1;120 state: that when kept at a tentperatur • of 32 degre s F. it requires I'it • months for the apples to develop softnese° represented by nine pounds as a- gainst fourteen pounds when the fruit was picked. Similar fruit plac- ed in common storage where the tem- perature during the autumn mons:?,.: ranged between d0 and 330 degrees F. reached a softness of 31 pounds in two month:. I1y the t:°ne the ap- ples had reached a softness of 3'a pounds their market value had be- came seriously impaired by shrivel- ling and by dis-colnuration of the flesh and the dovelopennent of unde- sirable flavour. These results sug- gest, according to the Superintendent of the Station, that it is not advisable to hold the Macintosh apple in stor- age after the ripening processes have reached the stage such that the apple has a hardness about ten pounds as measured 'by the pressure tester. The rapidity with which the fruit softens after removal from storlt' depends largely, it is pointed nut in the report, on the tentnerstnrec to which it is subjected bu tunless temperatures of well over 40 degrees F. are encountered end more than a monh is taken to get the apples into consumption, this preceduee may be expected to ensure delivery of of the fruit to the consumer in good condition. Referring further to this experiment this Report, which is obtained from the Publications Branch of the popartancnt of Ag- riculture of Ottawa, stakes the use- ful observation that angier retain crispness and flavour to best ;Oven - home when kept ttulet' eeesr[1„.,• comparatively low temperature and high humidity. A week or two in 0 warm furnace roost or under the kitchen table, it is pointed out, will seriously impair the appearance and quality of the Hest apple's, WINTER WOOLENS Now is the time to get out winter woolens, bedding and draperies to have them aired, cleaned if necessary and thoroughly mended for cold days.

Experts Cannot Agree and Reference Books Rarely Give Same Area How large is the British Empire'. The problem does riot ,seem diff'ic'ult to solve. Official figures xist for ellen part of the Eml':;.', arrived at. presumably, by careful geoc'raphicul survey,. To add up the total ar.•a of the Empire, therefore, connotes no insuperable mathematical distrait. Yet, the results ;,re neve' the sante. Tale:, the Urea of the British Isles (excluding Ireland,) for example. The Statesman's Year Book. which ought to know. gives ;t at (11,041 square miles, but Whitaker's Almelo trek. which may be splitting hairs, in i is it is six utiles larger, and six square miles of land is worth a lot of money, ,:von to can lc sr cartto- grapli rs. However, in this ea,e the World Almanac t without a k, cor- roborate; the British Almanaek 3 with a k.1 The ease of India is far more seri- ous.

The formula for arriving at a pre- cise eetirtnite of the area of the en- tire Empire would appear to be as follows: Take any British reference book and, without bothering to ' check lists against each other, com- pare figures with those given in the World almanac. if .any set of fig- ures agree -and figures sometimes clo-it is obvious that, there lets been collusion and that, therefore, any other set of figure's, chosen at random, is the more to be trusted. The divergence of estimates for the area of the whole British Empire r- large it is. The London Times Atlas is complete.
