OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
THE MAN WHO swoRE OFF.
Ne I. pe.ervinE of Respect and En-.
couraEement.

The world, if it knows its business.
will doff its hat to the man who
swore off New Years day. Notwith-
standing the outlaws of the crowd
at the bar when they hear about it,
that man, says the Chicago Daily
News, is worthy of respect and en-
enlargement. Having the desire to
mend his ways, he has braved the
jests of his associates, the sneers of
those whose unworthy methods he
hopes to forsake, and the curious
glances of casual acquaintances, in
order to exercise his will in resist
ing evil habits. His militant man
hood is worthy of praise. So. for
your own sake as we'll as for his,
do not laugh OF sneer at him or
take patronizing attitude toward
him because of your well-known ana
unassailable virtue. Express conf
dence in him and help him to stick
to his good intentions.
Why should not one resolve to for
sake ones bad habits on the first
day of the year? Why should not
one resolve to forsake them on any
other day? Having made the resolve
and entered upon the effort neces-
sary to carry it out, why should one
be the subject Of jests, since there is
nothing foolish nor dishonorable in
. trying to improve ones methods Of
life? If the school of experience
teaches valuable lessons, as every
one knows it does, why should not
one profit by these lessons? Habit
is mainly a relic of youth and ig'
norance, SO far as it is not formed
on good models or by the firm hands
of wise elders. To improve ones hab'
its from year to year is the valuable
privilege of the man or the. woman
who has been learning lessons in the
worlds academy of hard knocks. Tt
take no advantage of those lesson.
Is to write ones self down fool
Pity, therefore, the man or the WON
an who never swears of.

cial quantities of magnitude. For-
merly small family orchards of so or
100 trees were the average planting.
The apple was then grown more for
family use than for commercial pur-
poses. But the vast progress and de-
yelopment of apple culture in area
covered, the quantity and quality Of
product, together with the increased
demand for home use and expectation,
now places this industry in the front
rank of commercial resources. In
stead of orchards of 100 trees we now
find orchards of hundreds and even
thousands of acres each, and capital in
large amounts is being invested an
nually, not only for home markets,
but for extensive export to foreign
countries in fresh and cured forms.
The magnitude of the crop has become
such that houses and storerooms, re-
frigerators, eyaporators and places
for expressing the juice have been
constructed at all points in fruit re-
gions required for economic DISPOSE
ton of crops.
Although the apple may be grown
over very wide range Of country
more or less suited to its cultivation,
there are certain districts especially
adapted to its successful growth. For
instance, the elevated portion of
southern Missouri and northern Ar
kansas, known as the Ozark region,
and the elevated portions of North
Carolina and Virginia, where similar
conditions exist, are striking exam
pies. The New England, middle and
some Of the western states are espe-
cially favorable for producing fine
crops of this fruit of highest quality,
and certain sections of Idaho, Colo
RADIO, Oregon and Washington are
rapidly coming to the front in sue
cessful orcharding. Indeed, there is
not state in the union in which the
apple, in some OF its varieties, may not
be successfully grown. In addition to
soil and climate the proximity to
transportation by railroads and water
routes is an important consideration
in locating an orchard for commercial
purposes.
The financial success of CONNER
cial apple orchard depends largely
upon the methods used in picking,
sorting, packing and disposing of the
crops. These operations involve a
large Share of the. expenseiof the en-
terprise; hence the owner should
carefully study and investigate the
most recent and economical methods
in practically others before he adopts
any If the crops are rightly handled
there will be mo- difficulty in finding
ready market for choice first-class
winter apples.
All fruit must be carefully hand
picked avoiding bruising or breaking
OF the skin or straining Of the stem
at Its juncture with the apple for q
ieosening of the stem at its base viii
induce rot to set in as quickly as the
breaking of the skin. Some orch ard
lists use for a picking receptacle a con-
yenient sized basket, lined or nadded
to avoid bruising, with an adjustable
pale, SO as to allow the fruit to he
carefully dumped in piles under the
shade OF trees. To the piles barrel,
are hauled and distributed ter uaslt.

cessfully grown. Ii is
AWEk found in almost every
- country that has tenn
- perate climate. No other
fruit succeeds over SO wide a
range of territory and under such
diversified climatic conditions, and no
other fruit brings SO sure return to
the grower in proportion to time and
money expended upon its production.
With proper selection of varieties, lo-
cation of soil, and subsequent intelli-
gent management, there can be but
little risk in planting the apple, which.
is now no longer luxury, hut a sta
pie article of food.
There is scarcely any limit to the
choice varieties to select from, begin
ming with the early ripening Yellow
Transparent, Early Harvest, Red June,
Early Joe, Maiden Blush, etc, through
the list of fall, early winter and late
keeping varieties, including the lus-
cious Pearmain, Rambo, Dyer, Grimes,
Jonathan, Spitzenbergs, Yellow New
town, etc. Indeed, so wide is the range
of season of the apple that it is the
only fruit of the temperate climates
that may be obtained and. enjoyed in
its natural state throughout the year.
Its period of usefulness is being ex-
tended through modern methods of
storage, and with rapidly increasing
facilities for its transportation, its
commercial value is greatly enhanced.
From hygienic standpoint the APP
pie has but few rivals among cult
waited fruits. Its mild and pleasant
acid is panacea for many'of the ills
that the human race is heir to. What
fruit can be more pleasant to the pal.
