Pennsylvania r1ay Grow Oranges

81 cannot predict the exact time, but
l believe it to be within the range of
possibility that in twenty years the
people of Pennsylvania will be able to
produce oranges in their own State"
This statement was made recently by
Prof Herbert j. Webber, chief of the
Laboratory of Plant Breeding in the
Department of Agriculture. DIR. Web
ber is very hopeful that it will be pos
sible to grow good eating oranges in
Pennsylvania III five years if the expe-
riments he is now making are as sue
cessful as those in the past.
In the winter of 1S95-96, when nearly
all the orange trees in Florida were de-
stroyed by the blizzard which swept
through the south, DR.. Webber and his
corps of assistants set to work to secure
hardy orange that could withstand
the freezes and build up the industry to
its former state. These experiments
have been most successful, as the ex-
perts of the department have produced
an orange that will not only grow in
Florida but in Alabama and Mississippi,
and in farther northern climes.
The new orange-for it is a new one
has not yet been christened. 1t has
been produced by the hybridization of
the trifoliate orange with the quality
of the sweet orange Of the ordinary
kind grown. The trifoliate orange is
now grown in Pennsylvania, but it is
only small fruit and not fit for eating
purposes. DR.. Webber has obtained
fruit from the first generation by the
crossing of the trifoliate with the ordi-
nary sweet orange and has also gath
cred seeds from them which he believes
will produce in the next generation
wonderful results. However, this, he
years. If the expectations of DIR. Web
ber are realized he is quite hopeful that
the new orange can be grown in the
Keystone State. The first generation
of oranges obtained after the crossing
between the trifoliate and the ordinary
sweet orange has produced a remark
ably fine specimen and is almost as
sweet and of as good quality as the
ordinary sweet orange. "Some of the
hybrids we now have, "said DR.. Webber,
''give promise of great value in the not
distant future. 1t is my firm belief
that there will be produced in the
State of Florida not less than 1,OOO,O 600
boxes of oranges during the coming
season.

Protecting Young Girls

An editorial under the above head
ing appeared in the Public Ledger of
Philadelphia one day last week. A
recent distressing occurance that was
brought to the notice of some of the
authorities and townspeople of EN-
porium makes timely the following
strong words of warning and counsel
from the article referred to.
No observant person can have failed
to notice the grievous laxity in the or
dinary American home in the training
of girls, even where the parents are
sound-hearted and respectable. Young
girls in Philadelphia, or in almost any
city, may be seen parading the streets
free from all guidance and supervision
in way which forebodes evil results,
at the very least, in bad manners.
Many of these girls have no thought of
evil; but the flippant manner, the lack
OF reserve where strangers are con-
cerned, the reckless behavior, and the
habit of gadding about at their own
free will on city streets and in public
places, lead inevitably to a hardening
of character and hopeless vulgariza-
tion.
Many tragedy, too, has its begin
ming in this way. Parents who have
toiled and moiled for their children, and
who would give and, in fact, literally
have given their own lives for them,
fail; and the failure is directly trace
able to the lack of restraint upon the
too great freedom of young girls.

The speckled Tribe Not Molested.

Yes, we neglected to mention, last
week that Harry Lloyd and E. j.
Smith had gone fishing. Such neglect
as this seems to be regretted since it
sometimes happens that fishing parties
get lost, in which case a little .ad. OF
this kind may be the means OF putting
someone on the trail, thereby resculng
the unfortunate. Of course Harry and
E. J. only got lost twice and were set
right by some of the settlers without
the aid of ''stray" notice, but we
hope the next time to be more promp
The strangest part of it is that actually
they had nothing along to counteract
snake bites. They say they carried a
heavy buggy half mile along mar
row path Gaping a decent of several
hundred feet, and did it successfully.
The pass was so narrow that they had
to use the lines as guy stays on the
horse to keep him from falling over
the terrible abyss. A thrilling adven-
ture indeed, but they are alive and
well, and hereafter their wanderings
will be perfectly safe and smooth as
Mr.. Blum declares that they shall have
a guard along the next time they ven-
ture outside of the Middle Ward.
They got several trout but they were a
little shaky about showing them.

AS Others See Us,

A young society lady who spent
couple of weeks visiting in our town,
when asked for her impressions of EN-
porium, spoke enthusiastically of the
girls, but said the boys were lacking in
courtesy, gallantry and gentlemanly
bearing. We are sorry to admit this
to be true. To some boys it may seem
silly and affected to raise their hats to
girls, with whom they have played as
children and only recently gone to
school with. But they can feel sure
the girls know what is their due and
resent having a finger pointed at hat,
or if the boys hands are too deep in
his pockets to be taken out without
considerable effort, have something
grunted at them. The writer when a
small boy, noted young man who al
ways raised his hat to his sister when
meeting her on the street. paying her
the same honor he would have paid to
the pretty sister of some other fellow,
and has always remembered him as a
type of the true American gentleman.
No relationship or degree of intimacy
is any excuse for lack of gallantry. In
fact, in our town, it should be the
greater as we have peerless lot Of
girls just budding into womanhood
and older.
For nobility of character, ladylike
bearing and gracefulness, are an honor
to their sex. These girls are not con-
fined to any sect, or so-called class, but
are representative of our town, and to
acknowledge their pleasant smile of
greeting with grunt or n finger
pointed at the hat is slight and offense
against good breeding, which any boy
should be ashamed to see others do
much less do himself
Is it surprising that the girls at times
seem to prefer the society of the boys
of other towns? When our boys have
learned to treat the girls in the gallant
way they should, and pay them the
homage that is their due, we will hear
this sad lament no more.

Advertising That Doesn't Pay.

What would we say of the manufact-
urer, asks Agricultural Advertising,
who built fire under his boiler, then
went of and allowed the fire to die out
expecting his mill to run all day on
that one fire? And yet there are ad-
vertisers who make zone time'
splurges or take trial ads" and then,
because business does not keep them
up nights, say "advertisin doesn't
pay" How about the far who
plants corn and then sits down to
wait for the crop? He would be eX-
pectei to say that farming doesn't
pay" And yet there are advertisers
who plant the seed of an ad and think
their work is done. TO such people
advertising does not pay and never
will. Advertising is the fire uader the
business boiler, which must be tended
and kept hot to produce the results
sought. It is the seed planted which
properly nurtured and tended, will
spring up and bear fruit "some twenty
some sixty and some one hundred
fold"

On Sowing Wild Oats.

The most damnabe doctrine of devils
that was ever promulgated is the as
sumption that young man must beck
pected tosow his wild oats Many young
men in Emporium, some of them of
good families, are treading in forbidden
paths, and at the same time are lay
ing the flattering JUNCTION to their souls
that in a few years they will ripen
into type of manhood that will be all
the better and stronger for their pre-.
sent vicious experiences. The great
est delusion. UnmanIiness never
ripons into manliness, debasement
never ripens into high character, i'm
purity never ripens into purity. Un-
less they abandon their vicious creed
and paactica they will realize the doom
expressed in the words, "He that is
filthy let him be filthy STILL"

Reptiles Beside Baby.

No Pennsylvania mother in Indian
times ever had a more thrilling expe-
reince than fell to the lot of Mrs. Jos.
Button near Hayneville, Pa. She saved
the life of her child in unique way
and then dispatched amerciless enemy
that menaced her own life.
Mrs. Button had gone to pasture to
milk two COWS. The pasture was
hardly rod from the door of her home.
She left her baby fast asleep on a
deerskin mat on the floor of the
kitchen. On the way out she stopped
at the garden patch to pick some veg
etables, so that when she finished the
milking and started back to the house
more than half an hour had elapsed.
RATHER NEAR THE BABY.
AS she neared the house her ears
caught the prattling of her baby boy.
Fastening to the house, Mrs Button
was Mortified to see a monster rattle
snake half coiled on the floor within
two feet of the baby. Its rattles were
buzzing furiously and the ugly head
was elevated and swaying from side to
side. Mrs. Button realized that it was
about to strike. The baby had in his
hands birch switch, and with this
was endeavoring to strike the serpent.
1t was this that aroused the snakes
temper. The child had the switch up
raised and was abe to give the snake
a playful blow.
ANOTHER RAT LER AT HAND.
Almost fainting, the mother tottered
toward her child. Her strength gave
way and she fell against the baby's
high chair, which stood near the door.
Her arm rested against something soft,
and an angry rattle reused her to ac-
ton. Another rattlesnake was coiled
on the seat of the chair. The woman
was in the same peril as the child.
Springing forward, she hurled the two
gallons of milk that she carried at the
reptile on the floor, at the same time
deluging the baby.
The effect was instantaneous. Ceas.
ing its rattling, the reptile on the floor
started for the door. Mrs. Button
seized broom and with single blow
broke it's neck.
ANOTHER FOE TO DEAL WITH.
| AT this moment the snake on the
high chair struck at the woman, and,
barely missing her, fell upon the floor
near the baby. Here the reptiles pc.
culiarity gave the woman the victory.
A rattler never strikes except from the
coil. 1t could have bitten the baby as
it lay stretched upon the floor, but,
true to its nature, it began to coil first.
Before it could arrange itself in it's po-
sition the woman dispatched it with
the broomstick

But instead of smoothing the hero's
path by, say, the hoary device of allow.

her life, the author reverses the usual

EMPORIUM, PA. THURSDAY, JULY 80, 1903.
How to Get Nitrogen Into the Soil.

How to Get Nitrogen Into the Soil.
Every farmer knows that his land
needs more nitrogen, but how to get it
has been the problem. Nitrates are
expensive and the end of the supply is
in sight. 1t has long been known that
plowing under clover and peas will
help to put nitrogen into the soil, but
it has only been of late discovered
what the method of the process is. 1t
is owing to the presence of certain
microbe on the root of the plant that
enables it to draw nitrogen from the
air. If the microbes are absent the
plant will obtain no nitrogen from the
air. The scientists of the Agricultural
Department at Washington have
undertaken the cultivation of these
bacteria and claim that by using them
the yield of crops can be multiplied
from 100 to loco per Ecent and that the
fertility of the soil will be lastingly in.
creased. The microbes are being pro-
pagated in great quantities and can
be shipped to any part of the United
States. An interesting account of
these discoveries appeared in the satur.
day Evening Post for July 18th. The
writer states that clover in a depleted
soil that was producing only 200 pounds
to the acre yielded as high as 2O00
pounds to the same area after the nj
trogen breathing bacteria were intro
duced to aid the plants.
