the attendance was much smaller than

one, and the people got really enthu-
siastio at times. The band played very
much better than before, and succeed
ed in making good deal of noise, in
addition to the music, which is just
what is needed in . park concert.
AZ usual, the patriotic airs called
forth loud cheers. The band cannot
do too much in this line. The good re-
suits are already evident.
A small crowd of men gathered near
the band stand and sang the Star
Spau9led Banner IS the band played.
Following their lead, not less than one
hundred people, big and little, joined
in singing the splendid anthem. Every
body was provided with the words, and
the people entered into the singing
with much ardor.
Next time . small choir will effect
uslly lead the singing, and it is hoped
everybody will gather close to the
band stand and sing out.

Cultivation of Small Fruits.

The cultivation of small fruits does
not receive the attention in Texas it
deserves. Among the ckberries and
dewberries growing wild in large
portion of the state there are many
that have good enough quality to me-
rit transplanting and care and these,
with proper cultivation. may prove of
greater value than nursery products.
Stra berries do we'll almost every
where in the az ricultural portions of
Texas, though different varieties will
probably have to be selected in differ
ent parts of the state. 1t may not pay
to raise these fruits for market in
many counties of Texas because of diff
iculty of getting transportation to any
points of considerable demand, but for
home use they would have q value far
beyond the cost OF their products
