Apple Scientists Apples expand and contract ke most materials when sub >cted to warming or cooling *mperatures. However, recent icperiments find that the initial Ffect of warmer or cooler con itions has been the reverse of lat expected, according to Dr. How to fertilize if next Spring is another wet one. Its odS' f. Do it all this fell with unique Unipel 20-10-10 Last Spring practically set a record for late planting in many areas. And it could happen here next year, too. But with fall plowing plus Unipel 20-10-10 you can reduce the worry and costly delay. Unipel 20-10-10 is the unique complete high-nitrogen fertilizer. Plow it down this Fall and give plants a faster stronger start next Spring. It is even formulated for steady nutrient release, so plants have a continu ous source of NPK avadable throughout the growing season. You can do it all in the Fall. We'll be around soon with the whole story. P. L ROHRER & BRO.. INC. SMOKETOWN, PA. Business^\ Can Be A Pleasure! It's a pleasure to know you're helping peo; by increasing their income.

Tukey of The Penn sylvania State University. Upon exposure to warm temperatures, cold apples at Penn State contracted for about 3 hours before expanding. Warm apples, when cooled, initially expanded for about 30 minutes Phone Lane. 397-3539 AND LOAN ASSOCIATION Study Temperature Changes before contracting. Dr. Tukey announced the findings August 29 at the 69th annual meeting of the American Society for Hor ticultural Science in St. Paul, Minn. This unusual response appears to be due to the transfer of moisture within the intercellular spaces from the outer areas of the apple to the central area under warming conditions. The reverse occurs under cooling conditions, Dr. Tukey said. In the heat transfer process, changes occur in the vapor pressure of the moisture and a gradient develops Moisture at a high vapor pressure moves to that at a low vapor pressure. With an inward mass transfer of moisture, the effect would be contraction. Outward movement would create expansion. The amount of change in fruit size is small, less than one millimeter for a 3 inch apple. This effect of heating and cooling on moisture transfer is a new phenomenon for fleshy biological materials. In addition to apples, effects of a heat and mass transfer have been ob Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 16,1972 served in pears, oranges, cucumber, potatoes, and apple wood. The effect has been verified by cooling the core area of an apple at room temperature to establish a temperature and vapor pressure gradient. Fruits con tracted as expected. The research is part of a series of investigations at Penn State to determine the handling characteristics of fruits, especially in relation to bruising. HUD, USDA Team Up for Rural Planning A report issued jointly by the U S. Department of Agriculture and the US. Department of Housing and Urban Development points to a sharp increase in fiscal year (FY) 1972 over previous years in assistance from both for comprehensive rural development planning by local multicounty organizations. HUD provided $7.7 million for 260 nonmetropolitan planning districts in FY 1972 compared with $3.4 million for 155 districts in the preceding year, according to the report, submitted to Congress today. USDA field staffs also in creased by 25 percent their technical services for land use planning, housing studies, community facilities planning, citizen participation, and other elements of district planning programs The Department contributed approximately 316 man-years of such services in FY 1972. “In cooperation with the Federal Government, the States are now actively seeking better methods to improve planning and management at the local government level and to insure that planning will influence government decisionmaking and area development initiatives,” Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development George Previously, cold apples were found to bruise easier than warm apples. Still unknown is the significance of these findings on lateral moisture movement in plants, on the rate of respiration, and on the length of life of stored fruits. However, fluctuating refrigerator temperatures are less effective than constant temperatures for the storage of apples. W. Romney said in sending the report to Congress. The Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 authorized USDA and HUD assistance to States for support of nonmetropolitan district plan ning programs The Agricultural Act of 1970 requires an annual report on this activity, as well as other USDA and Federal services and programs for rural areas In the Kitchen CUCUMBER TOPS I (4-V( oz.) can chicken spread '4 cup chopped walnuts 1 tbsp. apricot preserve I tbsp sour cream 10 slices whole wheat bread 20 thin cucumber slices for garnish Mix togethei first ioai in gredients for filling and spread over five slices of biead Covei with lemaming slices Trim off crusts and cut sandwiches diagonally mlo lour triangles Stand these on their bases and dec orate points with twisted v_m cunibei slices Makes 20 sandwiches Try A Clossifled Ad It Pays! 21
