Would Selve Apple Problem. Extensive experiments also will be made in an attempt to solve the prob- lem of blennial bearing of apples. If annual crops can be produced it will bridge s gap that long has been the bane of growers everywhere. Experiments also are being made in grape and strawberry breeding in an effort to determine the varieties best suited to conditions in this section. All of the nitrogen carriers for fruit farms will be compared to determine which will produce the best growth for fruiting trees. A large and fully equipped packing house is being developed in which fruit growers may send their packing house foremen to learn the various details of an of fruits to meet State and Government requirements. Tests in Fertiligers. Complete fertilizer and green manure and crop-rotation tests for truck grow- ers are organized. Special attes tion is being given to a study in all f tors important in production of large yields of canning products. The eco- nomics of production in both the fruit and vegetable Industry are receiving special attention, with the aim of re- ducing costs and increasing returns. All of the new varieties of vegetables listed by the seed men are being grown to authoritatively determine which, if any, will be avallable for growers here- about. Experiments to determine the best as well as the cheapest method of the propagation of fruit and ornamental plants are getting considerable atten- tion. Hardy plants, resistant to dis- ease, insects, cold and drought, are be- ing secured from all parts of the United ; States, Canada and England in an ef- fort to obtain those suitable to this section. ‘Tests to determine the best fertilizer for ornamental plants also are under way. > Residence for Studests.

MOOT COURT FOUND POPULAR N SCHOOL 240 Students to “Practice.” Actual court practice of the kind which the law school “moot court” pro- vides has become one of the most popu- lar forms of legal tral g, it was - closed last week at National University where a survey in that institution showed that twice as many jury cases had been tried by student lawyers this year than during 1929. According to the university officials, this tremendous increase in law school “‘court” activity in that one institution alone, is attributable to the almost daily press comment on crowded court dockets throughout the United States. National University admitted 240 student lawyers to practice in its moot court during the Fall and Winter terms this year as concrete indication of the desire law students of today have to be as thoroughly trained in court pro- cedure as possible when they are gradu- ated. With such a large practich fleld, Prof. Glen Willett of the National law faculty who presides as moot court judge, tried twice as many jury cases this year as he handled throughout the academic years of 1928-29. Prof. Willett's court report figures actually 469 cases were filed posed o appeals were noted for a: ing the Spring term whicl morrow. The coming term marked at this institution by moot court prectice in equity, probate and appeals court work. James D. Herrman and Stacy M. Reed were chosen by “Judge” Willett as the best moot court trial lawyers during the past_term. In the final jury trial of the Winter term, Herrman represented the Government and Reed was defense counsel. s?nng term classes will open through National tomorrow. ‘The repeal of the Jones five-and-ten tlaw will be the subject of debate in the preliminaries for the selection of the third interclass debate teams next Saturday night.
