n green or ripe. Some growers pick
the smaller fruits green and allow the
finest fruits to ripen. This is less ex-
hausting for the bushes than it is to
allow the whole crop to ripen. Others

it also has this in its favor that the
sooner the crop is in the market the
less risk there is of it's injury by sun
scald, mildew or other fungous or in

termine for himself according to his
local market conditions what method
of handling the fruit is best for him.

Gated responsibility. He was about So years
old. feet inches high, of brunette COM
plexion, with dark curly hair.
AS mystery 1t is suggestive Of that of
Doctor CroniIl in Chicago several years ago,

him.
In doing this a midnight raid into Nebras-
