Paper Mailed to Principals—Filed on Student's Reading Table
GOES TO 380 HIGH SCHOOLS
Students reading the It is the ambition of the Daily Kansan to be read by every high-school student in the state. The paper is now sent to the principals of 380 high schools and by them is put on file where it can be read by students. From reports thus far received it is evident that the paper meets with a cordial reception in these schools and that, through its function as a clearing house for news in the secondary institutions of the state, it is to help for a healthy class consciousness in the schools and serve as an incentive to students to continue their pursuit of an education.
WILL INCREASE ITS STAFF
The Daily Kansan wishes to increase its staff of high-school correspondents to take in representatives from forty more schools. Applications are now being received and appointments made as rapidly as possible. It is expected that many schools will take action within a few days to see that their news shall appear in the Daily Kansan's columns.

FRUIT-RAISING A SCIENCI
Experiments in Cold-Storage Carried On—Measures to Reduce
Risks.
Everyone knows that the state of Kansas is dotted with orchards and that there has been more or less fruit raised in this state for the past fifty years. Everybody also knows that, for the most part, the orchards have been left to take care of themselves and that such fruit as has actually been cultivated has an unsupported fight against pests and blights and in spite of the handicap of growing on teers that knew nothing of the benefits of cultivation.
This goose has laid no golden egg, because of lack of ordinary care and the persistence of adverse conditions. But the goose is not dead, and there are men in Kansas who are giving most of their effort to the improvement of the conditions.
Professor S. J. Hunter of the University of Kansas, who is state entomologist for the south half of Kansas, is one of the leaders in pointing out to the farmers the costline of their lost opportunities as orchardists. He not only has his theories based on the research of other biologists but also has experience of an experimental orchardist by means of an experimental orchard tract near Lawrence which he manages.
Fruit Raising a Science.
Professor Hunter says that agriculture and horticulture are now as much as a science as is medicine. If a tree is sick it should be treated and the result will be better. Of the result from the use of medicine prescribed by a skilled physician.
"The agriculturists are just waking to the fact that fruit can be raised and be made more of a payoff crop than any other well-earned treat." says Professor Hunter.
"Fruit which is just as large and luscious as any that may be shipped in from the states can be raised automatically properly and sprayed systematically.
"There is another thing that the farmer does not realize. Fruit in the spring is worth a great deal more than in the fall. The farmer may keep his apples in his cellar fairly well until about the middle of February or the first of March. But after raising a good crop there is no use of following the guess-work method. Cold storage is the only answer to the problem.
Advantages of Cold Storage.
Advantages of Cold Storage.
"Although the apples which we raised last summer at our experiment farm were sable at about three times the price of apples from neighboring orchards we sold very few of them. We placed them in cold storage and along with them a self-recording thermometer so that the temperature for every minute is registered. The cost of cold storage is not great in comparison with the increased price obtained for the fruit. On a barrel of apples it costs 15 cents the first month, 10 cents the next and 5 cents for each succeeding month. The price in the spring will undoubtedly more than pay for this expense.
"For the man of small means horticulture ought to be the best business he could get into. A tenacre tract is more than enough to keep one man and team busy. For instance, he could plant the tract entirely with apple trees and thirty feet apart. Between these at lesser distances peach trees could be put in. Raspberry bushes might be put between the trees, and between the rows potatoes could be planted. The first year the potatoes would yield a good return and cabbage might be planted for a fall crop. The second year the potato crop would hardly be feasible but the rasberries would yield. The third year peaches would commence to bear. In the seventh year, at about the time the peach trees begin to decline, the apple trees would commence to bear and reaching the height of their productivity in their fourteenth year.

Measures to Reduce Risks
Measures to Reduce Ross
"Of course this is somewhat of a pipe-dream and with things running as smoothly as that you could have a man a millionaire in a short while. Scientific treatment does not guarantee against failures, but it reduces the risk to a minimum."
Among the recent measures taken to reduce risks and protect the nursery-man is that by the American Association of Nurserymen in co-operation with the entomological department of the University of Kansas. They will present a bill before the present session of Congress for the purpose of allowing Federal inspection of all nursery stock, fruits and vegetables imported to this country. There are over seventy insects and diseases now in the United States which are known to be injurious to plants. Of these, forty-three are known to have been imported from other countries. The purpose of the bill will be to stop this wholesale importation of injurious parasites.
