To get any fruit, pollen must be transferred from one blossom to another. This is usually done by bees and flying insects, but if the weather is cool and windy, the bees will not fly. Therefore, a number of orchardists, in co-operation with Michigan state college, have been trying artificial pollination. They collect the pollen, ripen it and apply it to the blossoms either by hand, duster or airplane. But the grower must be sure that the right pollen is available. Some varieties of fruit, which are called ry crop in the south end of the I self -sterile, can be fertilized only county did practically no dam-lw tne pollen of a different va- age in tne urem area, mere was little cherry "cracking" due to the . ains, he said.

Arrangements for the dance are under the direction of Dee Epperson, president of the quorum quor-um and his counsellors, Grant Newell and Grant Ungerman.

Geneva Open-Air Theater Opening Set for Saturday Boasting a screen as large as any in the United States and a capacity of 624 automobiles, Orem's new Geneva Open-Air Theatre will open at' 7:30 p.m. Saturday night, following months mon-ths of work and preparation. According to Maurice Miller, manager and one of the owners of the new venture, the huge screen has an area of 2,000 square feet and is 74 feet from 1 either the Orem or the Sharon the ground.

A final consideration, say the horticulturists, is whether the varieties va-rieties are compatible. For example, ex-ample, Cortland and early Mcintosh Mcin-tosh apples do not work well together. to-gether. Neither do Bartlett and Seckel pears. Time is another factor fac-tor in compatibility, for the varieties varie-ties chosen must have overlapping blooming periods if pollinization is to occur. How Circulation Contest Will Be Concluded It is the intention of the Orem-Geneva Times to conduci its circulation campaign in the most ethical manner possible. In order to insure absolute fairness to all the contestants in the race for the new Chevrolet and four cash prizes, the campaign cam-paign will be brought to a close 'under a sealed ballot box. During the last period of the campaign, contestants will enclose their money and subscription orders in envelopes and place them in a sealed cylinder which will be completely complete-ly soldered, top and bottom, with only a small slit left open in which the candidates may insert their envelopes. This cylinder will not bbe at the Seminary building nor at the Orem-Geneva Times office, but will be at a public place, to be specified later. Three prominent, disinterested men, whose names will be announced soon, will be appointed judges and will take possession of the cylinder when the campaign is declared closed, pry it open and carefully compute com-pute the number of credits due each worker covering the the subscriptions found in the cylinder. The candidates will also deposit their "official Bajlots showing the total credits accumulated up lo the time the the sealed ballot box goes info effect, in the cylinder. The judges will add the credits issued each contestant on the subscriptions sub-scriptions in the cylinder lo the "Official Ballot" signed by each worker and will-then award the prizes lo the candidates candi-dates on the stage of the Scera Theatre. Until the yjdaer award the prizes, not even the contestants themselves will know who has won. Thus, no one. neither the caamppicn manager nor any member of the Orem-Geneva Times staff, will know the strength of any of the workers, and all possibility of unfairness unfair-ness of any kind is precluded.'
