Spraying to Keep OF Frost.


From time to time we have rotrt
the experiments made to determine
the value of spray as a means Of keep
ing off frost in late spring and early
fall. In the orange groves of Florida
it has been successfully done at diff
ferent times. The film of water keeps
the temperature inside the fruit or
leaf or twig from falling too low, and
this is effective in keeping off frost. il
the latter is not too severe. Most Of
the frosts that do great damage ARE
light frosts coming very late In the
spring or very early in the fall and
catching the tender vegetation, In
New York state this practice is com
ing into vogue for protecting vine
yards. A number of grape growers
have this spring sprayed their vines at.
times Of heavy frost and have thus
saved their crops. We do rot see why
tie remedy would not be as effective.
in the early fall as in the late spring.
Doubtless the plan is worthy OF en-
tended attezuon. - / ss s. Sss g.

Outlook for Apples and Peaches.

A government report says that the
average condition Of apples is, on the
whole, unfavorable. Of the fourteen
large producing states but two report
a condition above the ten-year aver
age, as follows: North Carolina, 68,
gain of l point and Michigan 81, 4
gain of points. In Maine the condi-
ton is 50, corresponding with the ten
year condition in that state New
York reports a condition points be-
low the ten-year average. Illinois
and Iowa points, Ohio u, Pennsyl
vania and Kansas Is. Kentucky. Viz
ginia and Tennessee, II, Missouri 1&,
and Indiana 10 points, and in the re-
naming states it is probable that con-
siderably less than an average crop
will be produced. The present pros
poets of the peach crop are quite fav-
orable. Notwithstanding the tact that
several important peach growing
states report conditions considerably
below their ten-year averages. The
states showing such reductions are:
Tennessee points, Georgia 8, Kansas
%, and Missouri IS points. On the
other, hand, Mississippi reports a con-
dition point, Virginia 2, South Caro-
lnia 5, North Carolina Z, Alabama 10.
Texas Is, California 16, and Arkansas
Is points above such average.

The, Supply Of New Potatoes.

The supply of new POTATOES has not
been very large this season and buy
ers IN the cities are fearing short
age in the crop available for summer
use. 1t seems that tie very unequal
distribution of moisture has resulted
in a considerable shortening OF the
crop. The very abundant rains that
hive fallen in the neighborhood of the
Great Lakes have in many instances
prevented the development of the crop
of early tubers. In the extreme west
the drouth has been so severe that
the vines have made little growth. A
like condition exists among the truck
gardens of the Atlantic slope. The
drouth there extends from New Eng
land to Georgia and has resulted in
the cutting short Of much of the gar
den truck. Some Of the Virginia grow
ers will have no crop at all. Up to
the first of June the prospects there
were favorable, but since that time all
has changed. JUS, what the supply OF
new potatoes is no one can tell, rs the
crop depends on the weather from
week to week. This does not neces-
sarily mean that the main crop of .po-
tatoes is to be- short. The late pota-
toes may not suffer at all in compari-
son to the early crop. . ~.

HOME FOR THE REAL

CENTRALLY LOCATED QUARTERS.
Broker John l.. Mitchell Selected by
Director. rs Secretary of the

The Washington Real Estate Exchange
is to be located at 1914 F Street, in the
roomy Offices en- the first floor of the
building. The Offices were rented yester-
day from Mr. c. C. Willard, and all plans
have been made to occupy them imnedi-
ately. The site was chosen from among
several offered.
air. Mitchell Chosen Secretary.
The beard Of governors has also chosen
the man who is TO be the secretary of the
exchange. Mr.. John E. Mitchell, we'll
liked real estate broker, formerly in tie
Office Of the late John e. Beall, is to take
the position. It is the only salaried po-
sition connected with the exchange, and
IS there was a rather spirited competi-
tion. the choice CT Mr.. Mitchell is some
thing of a compliment to him.
1t Is hoped that the exchange Will be
able to begin daily business meetings be-
fore tnc end OF the present month. They
will be held in the front cfilce of the ex-
change at l o'clock in the afternoon. Daily
auction meetings will also be held at 4
c'clock.
No Rule Fixing Commissions.
The friction that has been engendered
OF commission on real estate transactions
and On money loans has decided the gov
ernors of the exchange to abrogate that
feature from the bylaws of the organi-
zation, and hereafter, as has been the
case up to the present time, brokers will
be allowed to charge what commissions
they see fit. II is believed that this
change of plan will induce a number of
important brokers to come into the Or
ganization who have not Joined up to
the present time. The board of governors
will submit the change to the members
of the exchange as formality, but it is
not believed that there will be much. If
any, opposition to it, and the new plan
may be regarded as settled upon.
Another recommendation of the board
which will be adopted, in all probability,
is that brokers belonging to the organi-
Zation be allowed to exchange business
and divide COMMISSIONS with legitimate
licensed brokers who are rot members.

PROBING JUVENILE ARRESTS.
Deficiency Appropriation Asked to
Pay for Special Officer

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived from Mr. j. p. T. Tupper. presi-
dent of the Board of Childrcn's Guardians,
communication asking for a deficiency
appropriation of $500 to pay for the serv-
ices of the probationary officer of the
board during the balance Of the present
fiscal year.
Mr.. Tupper explains in his letter that
a change has been made in the trial of
Juvenile offenders in the Police Court,
requiring that the officer of the board
spend all his time looking after that
branch of the work. He says that unde.
tte new arrangement the juvenile cases
come up for trial at O'Clock each after
noon. At 3 O'Clock each morning the
board receives from the Police Depart
ment the names, addresses and other
data relative TO the children who will
come up for trial that DAY.
The officer then must visit the homes of
the children and in other ways get at
the facts OF the charges brought against
the offenders. Mr.. Tupper states that
The court depends upon this information
to properly dispose of the cases.
The entire time OF the officer being con-
surned in this way. Mr.. Tupper thinks that
he should be paid by a special appropria-
tion FOR the purpose.

1t was felt that the same problems
which confronted the States of Ohio snd
Massachusetts were up for solution in the
District, and after stalw2rt fighting for
years among the local companies they all
sought relief and comfort in the law pro-
viding for an insurance department.
Mr.. Drake stated that il was necessary
to get on file 1he annual reports OF the
companies, copies Of their charters anu
other data preliminary TO issuing the
yearly licenses. He explained that when
he entered upon the duties OF his Office
it was necessary to prepare blani.s for
the annual statements, and a large volume
of printed matter for use in the detail of

siderable time. and has not yet been re-

Linked with this his been the irnpor-
