A HARDY ORANGE.
Crossing the Florida Variety on the
Sturdy Japanese Species.

Botanists in the employ of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture hope to bring into being an orange
tree which will be as sturdy as the APP
pie tree; an orange tree that will not
perish in the chill of northern winter,
which in December will bear its
wreaths Of snow and in May its gar
lands of bloom, and which when sum-
mer comes will yield fruit as good as
that sweetened and gilded in the south
sun. This may seem to be an I'M
natural proposition but it only seems.
No violence upon the laws Of Nature
has been or will be attempted. 1t is
simply an effort to make the citrus
tree from which is obtained the sweet
table orange, as hardy and insensitive
to cold as the orange tree from which
is obtained the bitter unedible orange.
BY crossing a citrus tree which grows
in the north and which bears an I'M
edible fruit with the citrus tree of the
south it is sought to beget plant in
which will be combined the good traits
of each.
Government botanists are confident
that the result of this citrus marriage
will be a scion that will grow and
fruit at latitude midway between the
northern limits of the sweet orange
and the northern limits of the line of
growth of the unediblle orange. If
this should be there might be orange
groves in central Virginia, middle Ken
lucky, southern Indiana, southern Hi
nois central Missouri and central
Kansas. Think of orange gardens
around the home in Norfolk, Rich
mond, Lynchburg, Lexington, Louis
vile, Cairo and perhaps in Cincin-
natl, st. Louis, Jefferson City and
Kansas City.

Consumers, of course, are appealed

of this are found among the enormous

the issue was between John NJ. Patti
son of Clermont and Lawrence T. Neal
of Ross, with a formidable field Of
candidates of minor Importance walt

a mishap to either or both of them.
Now it can be set down as accurate
that Welty is equal in strength to
either Pattison or Neal, and If there Is
anything in ante-convention Tumors he
Is coming to the front with a rush.
Col. James Kilbourne's formal retire
ment from consideration as a candi-
date, which came today, gives Welty
an equal chance for the capital city

being accepted that there is no Patti
con sentiment here.

gence that if no Hamilton county man
can be landed Welty will get some of

Cleveland contingent, although this is
a doubtful quantity to build upon.
That he will be the second choice of
the Seventeenth district, which has two
candidates in the persons of Judge S.

claimed for him, but disputed by the
friends of Lawrence T. Neal, whose
name is still an inspiration for the
party leaders in that section. 1t is rea-
scnable to infer, however, that he will
get some of the districts support if it
should become plain that neither Hun
ter nor Patrick can land the nomina-
tion. The very fact that the Canton
candidate is in the race is an indica-
tion that he believes that he has a
chance to win. AS written of him in
these dispatches some weeks ago, it is
his nature TO look before he leaps and
to think before he speaks. It was not
until he had made careful survey of
the situation that he decided 70 per-
nit the use of his name, and this in
itself is an assurance to observers of
conditions that he had fully satisfied
himsef that he was making no mistake
in entering the sweepstakes. His
friends say for him that he will be
found disputing every inch of ground
with his rivals and that when the con-
yention comes on they will know that
