Timely Questions On
Farm Answered
Question: Should pine seedlings
be placed in water immediately after
removal from the ground?
Answer: Yes. The drying out of
the roots will cause the seedlings to
die and it is necessary that they be
kept moist and not exposed to sun or
wind until replanted. Where they
are exposed for ten minutes experi
ments show that five per cent of
them die. If they are left out for as
much as an hour the loss will be 100
per cent. Use muddy water when
taking up the seedlings as this will
coat the roots and keep the sap
from draining out.
Question: What is meant by the
words "quality eggs"?
Answer: This term u used to de
termine eggs that are of standard
eight, Uniform in size, shape and
color and with a well finished shell.
The eggs should also be infertile and
free from blood spots or other for
eign material and should contain a
large per cent of thick albumen and
a yolk that will "stand up." Fresh
eggs with clean shells that conform
to the specifications outlined are
classified as "quality eggs" and com
mand a premium when packed and
shipped or sold on the local mar
kets.
Question: When should roses be
planted for best results?
Answer: .In those sections where
the temperature never goes below 5
degrees above zero, fall planting is
best as the plants set at that time
will make better growth the first
season. The planting, however,
should not be made until the leaves
have fallen from 'most ..of the trees
and shrubs. Only field-grown, dor
mant plants should be selected for
fall planting: Set the plants two or
three inches , deeper than they were
In the nursery row or pot and wide
enough - apart to permit the roots to
spread out as they naturally grow.
Where .the temperature runs below 5
degrees spring planting is prefer
able.

CfcSNAPSHOT CUIL
J,
CLOUDS AND FILTERS
ill

' I
If It's clouds you want In your next picture a filter will capture them.
LAST week the Snapshot Guild re
ceived a letter from a reader
Tho lives in the country. She wrote
In part "At this time of year the
clouds are simply beautiful and often
when their formations are unusually
attractive I take many snapshots
hoping they will register and give a
rather true picture of the beautiful
-scene. I have been somewhat disap
pointed In the results, however, for
these beautiful, soft, white clouds
have not appeared in the picture as
true to nature as I had hoped tor.
Clouds do add to the beauty of
any outdoor picture but it is true
that they do not always register
through the lens of the camera as
they appear to the eye.
Suppose we are taking a picture
such as the one above and use a film
,whlch is sensitive only to ultra-vio
let, violet and blue light We should
not be able to distinguish between
the clouds and sky If we give enough
exposure to show detail in the land
scape. This Is because the light from
the blue sky and the white clouds Is
very rich in light rays to which the
film responds.
Although clouds and blue sky are
both rich In ultra-violet, violet and
)luo, there is a marked difference
between the two. The light from the
clouds, being white, actually con
tains a certain amount of green and
red light, while that from the blue
sky does not
This, then makes it necessary to
distinguish between clouds and sky
iu order to record both in a snap
shot. We must, therefore, use a film
which will respond to- green, or to
green and red light, and also put
over the lens a niter which holds
back the ultra-violet and blue. The
green or green and red light from
the clouds will thus effect the film,
while practically no light from the
sky will get through to it, and in the
finished print, the clouds will appear
whiter than the sky.
Some film is slightly sensitive to
green light but supersensitive pan
chromatic films will respond to both
green and red light. Such films will,
therefore, show up the clouds
against the sky if used with a yellow
niter. The deeper the yellow color
in the filter the more violet and blue
it removes, or "holds back."
As you will no doubt surmise,
there are various types of filters and
each type has its limitations so in
choosing a filter you must make
your own decision, based on your
general requirements. A good gen
eral all-round filter Is the K-2 which
requires lengthening the exposure
two to four times, depending on the
film employed.
There is also a filter known as a
Sky Filter used extensively by the
amateur to photograph clouds in a
landscape with no increase in ex
posure time. Half of this filter is yel
low and the other half clear. This
filter can be used without increasing
the exposure because the sky is pho
tographed through the yellow part
while the landscape, or general sub
ject is photographed through the
lower half, which is not colored.
If it's clouds you want a filter will
prove invaluable.
