The Love-vine or dodder Is a pernicious parasitic weed that is costing the fanners of Pennsylvania thousands of dollars each year, according to State liotanlst S- M. Greas of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. The dodder attacks clover, alfalfa and flax and owing to the fact that the dodder soed so closely resembles the seed of the three plants named its detection is almost impossible until the plant makes its appearance in the field. The dodder Is more like a vine than a plant. It has no leaves and looks much like a yellow string twining among the clover and alfalfa plants. The dodder twines about the clover or alfalfa plants and sucks the juices from the host plant, quickly killtTig th'-m. A field attacked by dodder often looks much as if It had been bon.ed over. Where the dodder makes Its appearance the farmer should take strenuous measures to eradicate the pest If the p'.ot is small, the dodder should be pulled out by hand but if the area infested is too large the crop should be ploughed under or burned off. Partners are urged to take the greatest care in sel< ting their clover and alfalfa seed to see that it is free of dodder. POTATO GROWERS FORM COOPERATIVE ORGANIZATIONS Potato growers in Indiana and Potter counties have proven themselves alive to the advantages of co-operative effort, the growers recently forming associations for the marketing of their potato crops. This will enable the small growers to ship their potatoes along with those of their nelghbo.s, thus securing the benefits of lower freight rates and wider distribution. The Uureau of Markets. Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, is assisting these co-operative organizations wherever possible. One of the greatest advantages U at will accrue to the organization In 'hese two coon-1 tit* is the bad that stringent grading rules will be earned out In preparing the s > otatoes for market. In both counties the associations are following the United States standards as a basis for grading ani the potatoes are being marketed in Tub-marked sacks each containing 1*0 pounds.

An act that will permit the county commissioners in the several counties of Pennsylvania to assist the Bureau of Animal Industry. Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, in conducting area work for the eradication of tuberculosis among cattle, will be presented at the coming session of the Legist*

ture.

In a number of counties, particularly Mercer and Chester, the county commissioners are willing and anxious to expend county funds in assisting in making these counties entirely free of bovine tuberculosis but under the existing laws iiioney cannot be appropriated lor this purpose. The object of the area work is to free an entire community of tubercular animals. This work has never been taken up in Penns} Ivania due to a lack of financial support from »he counties biu with the necessary legislation enact*si a number of counties will doubtless employ help to assist the

THE APPLE AS A FOOD Use Our Apple Crop By Alba B. Johnson. President. Pennsylvania State Chamber ol Commerce. Pennsylvania is blessed this year with an apple crop the stxe of which is unprecedented in our history. It is not timely therefore, to return to the good old days from which our war experience *erted us. and store away in our cellars a winter s supply of this most beautiful fruit at this harvest season, while the quantity Is great and the prices low. May I not by this means remind the retail dealers and others that It Is their duty to induce the public to buy apples in larger quantities for future use so that this immense crop may move off without glutting our channels of trade, to the end of u'llizlng to Uu fullest ex'ent the bounteous crop that Nature has provided us. Apples Are Healthful By Dr. Edward Martin. Commissioner of Health. Pennsylvania. The apple as a fruit has been largely neglected because It has been both cheap and available. When completely ripe. !n it* raw state, it is a* digestible and as desirable as any fruit and much pleasanter and easier to take than many of them. Also, it has keeping qualities which commend It. The malic acid which It (ontains makes it slightly laxative: it supplies vltamlnes; either baked or stewed it forms an admirable breakfast dish; the soft part is particularly available for children, who often avoid cause they are so frequently told it is not good for them. Kor most young people, raw scraped apple, particular ly if the scraping is done by someone else, hss a peculiar charm. Considering the large crop of this season, the excellent quality, and the desirable varieties which have been raised, it would seem that both economy and health couid be well served by ree purchase of this most vbolesomi and desirable food. Food Value of Apples By Pearl McDonald. Extension Department of Home Economi'-s, College. Pennsylvania. lame ago people learned by experience and observation that apples sre a wholesome and valuable food and lhos> who used them freely in the diet were usually In good health. We now know why this is true. Prom the studies of nutrition specialists we havt learned what the apple and othe: fruits contain and how they meet cer tain food needs of the body. Fruit furnishes mineral matter such as iron. i'ho< phorus. etc., which is necessary in regulating th* .igestion and absorption of food: elimination of products and other processes such a* the building and maintaining the tis-

sue*.

Fruits are a source or supply for the protective substance*—the ;c-called vit.unines—more particularly the vitamlne which is corrective for scurvy disease found in latent form In infants more especially bottle fed babies. Fruits, together with cereals and •ecetables, furnish fibre—needed to give bulk to the diet so that the food will move freely through the digestive tract and the waste products be thrown off from the body. Fruits contain adds and characteristic flavors which make them sirable food. They stimulate t petite and give variety as well Apples furnish a considerable amount of sugar in a desirable form. Sugar serve* as *uel in the body nutrition. If people used apples generously. they would need little additional sweets In the form of sugar. For children, this is important because fruit sugars are better than cane sugar for There would L - less trouble with decaying teeth if childr.-n ate less candy and more apples. Nutrition specialists n-comc ended fruit juices for the growing baby as soon as they can be given such as apples oranges and prune*. First, the juice 1* given, then as the child is older the fruit pulp is used and lat**r the whole fruit. Throughout the growing time of the child's life, the apple wi’l be found a valuable part of the diet. For children, they are especially good baked or as sauce For
