World’s First Fruit Tree Patent Granted By U. S. Government If the great horticulturists of the past—men who labored without pay and without protection to im prove fruits—could now come back for a day—they would gasp with astonishment when they learned that the strong arm of the law was now the protector of the toiler in the fiield of Fruit Tree Improve ment. For truly, an epochal event has just occured; a new day has dawned in the World’s Fruit Tree History, and no man may now pro pagate, grow, sell or otherwise in fringe the rights of the owners of Hal-Berta Giant Peach. Luther Burbank, the Master Mind of all times in things horti cultural, looked forward to this day; begged for it; hoped for it, but despaired that the day of Pat ent Protection would never come to Originators and. Inventors of New Fruits. But that day is now here! A re volutionary and highly valuable new Plant and Tree Patent Law, passed by the 71st Congress and signed by the President of the Unit ed States is now in force. The Federal Government has today reached out its long and mighty arm and has said to those who in the past have reaped profit from the brain and brawn of unprotected horticulturists—"so' far shalt thou go—and no farther.” This progressive action by Con gress is probably destined to make America the Mecca of men who graft, and bud and study the habits and growth of trees that bear fruit —men from the four corners of the earth whose life-work is to produce something better than has ever grown before in the world of plants and trees. The first Fruit Tree in the his tory of the world to be distinguish ed by a Patent issued by the United States or any other Government, is the Hal-Berta Giant Peach. The name "Hal-Berta Giant” is a combination of the names "Hale” and "Elberta”—two of the best known peaches. The new peach is mammoth in size and is a truly marvelous fruit—rosy cheeked, de licious to eat, and ideal to can. The experts of the U. S. Department of Agriculture—after all kinds of tests and study—decided it was dif - ferent from any other peach and therefore this first Fruit Tree Pat ent has officially been issued to the Starks of Louisiana, Mo., who gave the Delicious and Golden De licious' Apples to the world. Growth Of Poultry To Be Expanded The increased demand for poul try and fresh eggs over present pro duction is leading to a conserva tive expansion of the poultry in dustry in North Carolina, accord ing to Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State College. Hatcheries in the State are ai ready booked far ahead, he said, and indications point to a favorable season for the hatchery industry. The development of hatcheries within the State leads to a balanced industry, he added, since the poul trymen utilize the superior products of the hatchery in improving their flocks and the hatcheries pay pre miums for good eggs from the poultrymen. The two phases of the industry are interdependent. As the hatching season ap proaches, poultrymen should start putting their brooding and housing ?CJUlpment in good condition arid lay plans for managing their flocks for a successful brooding season, Dearstyne said. it eko mnct 1 mnnrtant < factor in the success or failure of the coming year lies in the quality of baby chicks hatched or purchas ed, he continued. If the chicks are not of proven stock, high in vitality and descended from high produc ing, blood-tested parents, no amount of equipment, care in feed ing or management will develop a quality flock. The production of quality chicks is expensive, he pointed out, but it is well worth the extra cost. Con stant culling to eliminate low pro ducers, blood tests, and sanitation and feeding cost money. But a few cents different in the price of a chick may mean a difference of S 0 eggs a year in the production of the bird when it has matured. All the American man asks of his wife, is to have a first class dinner always ready on time, and never ask where he spends the evening.

Check House Over Now For Needed Work Many Old Homes May Be Restored Through Simple Modernizing Operations There are few houses that can not be improved through some alt eration or repair job. The aver age house could be made much I more livable by certain changes.' In many cases, serious damage can be averted only by immediate re pairing. The mere removal of 'ginger bread’ often gives an entirely new appearance to an old house. A slight alteration in the roof line, a new and more effective chimney, an old porch converted into a con servatory, or a new wing to pro vide additional space, is often all that is necessary to give the home a modernized appearance. When the roof covering, flash ings, gutters or downspouts fail, serious damage to the interior re- i suits. They should be checked be- ■ fore winter weather makes arduous' demands upon them. Insulation of side walls and roof might also be done at this time. Windows and doors should be weather-stripped for added com-' fort and fuel economy, and ineffi cient windows and doors repaired or replaced. Casement windows or French doors may add greatly to the aspect of both exterior ar.d interior. Shutters often improve the appearance of the exterior. The outer walls may require only a new coat of paint to put them in tip-top condition. Any loose clapboards or shingles must be tightened or replaced first, and the painting should be done before freezing weather. Some walls may be greatly improved with a new siding of clapboard, shingles or masonarv. Any cracks in masonry side walls or foundations should be sealed, and the foundations made termite-proof with- concrete or metal, -T Repairs to porch floors, col umns, railings, steps and supports will minimize the danger of per sonal injury and add to the exterior appearance. If the porch is out of-date, it may be altered, con verted into a room or removed. If inadequate, it may be enlarged. Partitions, preferably of fire proof material, built around the furnace and coal bins will render the rest of the basement more use ful for laundry, food storage, work shop or recreation purposes. Bright 1,, __I •_ shelves and built-in tables, the basement will become a more pleas ant place in which to work. Ad ditional windows will add to its brightness and utility, and a new outjr'de entrance will contribute to its convenience. A ceiling will add to the appearance and help to jkeep dust from the upstairs rooms. |If a basement is lacking, one may be dug, concreted and finished ac cording to the above suggestions. General improvements upstairs might include new floors and trim, a fireplace, book and knick-knack shelves, window seats, radiator cov ers, wallpaper or paint, and an ex pansion of the electrical system. New partitions or the removal of old ones often adds to the utility of a house. If additional closets are needed, they may be built in corners. A large, unused closet mav be transformed into a bath room, den or nursery. All space should be well utilized. Kitchens and bathrooms need particular attention, especially with | regard to plumbing and conveni ence. Obsolute fixtures should be replaced with modern sanitary ones. The floors and walls may be done over to harmonize with the new fixtures. The kitchen might offer greater convenience if ar ranged differently. A big kitchen, awkwardly planned, may be made much more compact and satisfac tory if part of the floor space were given over to a breakfast nook and the remainder of the wall space covered with shelves and cup boards. Additional windows might ease housekeeping tasks. The attic should not go to waste. | It may be possible to transform it into a room. Insulating material will make the attic livable and at the same time enhance the comfort of the rest of the house. A new garage, or improvements, to the old one, may also be advis-1 able. New drives, walks, terraces and shrubbery would make a splen-; did finishing touch for the home1 modernization project.

Pounds of firm healthy flesh instead of ! bare scraggy bones! New vigor, vim and j energy instead of tired listlessness! Steady, quiet nerves I That is what thousands of people are getting through scientists' latest discovery—the Vitamins of Cod Liver Oil concentrated in little sugar coated tablets without any of its horrid, fishy taste or smell. McCoy’s Cod Liver Oil Tablets, they’re called 1 “Cod Liver Oil in Tablets”, and they ■imply work wonders. A little boy of 8, seri ously sick, got well and gained 10*4 lbs. in just one month.
