and yielding millions to the growers.
Experiments with this end in view be-
gan several years ago. At the present
time the department has about 800 hy-
brid seedlings. 1t is expected that some
OF these will bear their first fruit this
fall, though the majority of them will
not appear much before next year. The
300 hybrid seedlings which Prof. Web
Der has secured represent a deal of pa
tient labor. To cross varieties which
are closely related is comparatively
simple matter; but the Chinese orange
and the Florida variety have been long
separated, and have grown in
such different environments. that they
have almost forgotten that they be-
long to the same gems. and they do
not take kindly to each other. Conse-
quently not more than one blossom
out of a hundred fertilized with the
foreign pollen bears fruit; and then
not more than seven out of fifteen
seeds in that fruit will germinate and
produce a plant. The paper bags are
used to protect the flower which has
been fertilized with the pollen of the
sweet orange The first step in the op-
GRAFTON of cross-fertilization is the re-
moval of the pollen-bearing stamen
from the blossom. This Is done with
small scissors and pincers- The petals
are also removed leaving the stigma
! exposed This is all done before the
blossoms are fully opened: for by that
time there is danger that bees or other
insects might have carried the pollen

II on the stigma When the stamen has
been completely removed pollen Is
gathered from the blossoms of the
trees in the government greenhouses
and shaken lightly upon the prepared
flower Then the bag is tied tightly in
place to make sure that no pollen from
the same tree becomes mingled with
that already used. After the fruit has
had time to begin forming the bags are
removed and the twig is marked with
a tag giving the name OF the other pa

Washington, Dec. 23.-Has President
Roosevelt succeeded in ''snuffing out"
the Schley controversy? This is the
question that is being asked on all sides
in Washington. Nothing else is talked
of in army, navy and congressional cir
cles than the sensational rebuke to
General Miles, the demand for Mr..
Maclay's resignation, the rejection of
Admiral Dewey's opinion that Schley
was in command at the battle of San
tiago and the approval of the findings
of the court against Admiral Schley.
Reports are current that Secretary
Long has called upon Rear Admirals
George Brown and George e. Belknap,
both retired, for explanations of al
legged interviews in which they sang
the praises of Admiral Dewey and
Rear Admiral Schley.
