The stealing of extras from ma
chinery has become so common ii
this section that steps are being
taken toward making an example
Of some one. 1t is understood that
a special detective has been employ
ed by some of the machinery houses
for the purpose of collecting evil
dence against some suspected parties
and every good citizen ought to
lend every possible assistance in
this matter. A thief is the most IN
desirable person in any community
and it is to be hoped that such
characters Of this section will be
speedily brought to justice.

Crop Reports Conflicting

Reports Of the crop prospect or
the prairie are quite conflicting and
it is difficult to estimate the prob
ably yield. Farmers from various
sections Of the prairie have been in
teryiewed by the Herald but their
opinions are at great variance.
The Lewiston Evening Teller Of
July 3lst, had the following reports
from the Volimer Clearwater Com
Pany and the Kettenbach Grain Com
pany which viii show the difference
In opinion and how hard it is to ar
rive at a conclusion at this time
"Ihe grain crop on the prairie
is probably damaged twenty-five
per cent" says E. w. Eaves Of the
Vollmer Clearwater company. Mr.. |
Eayes mas recently returned from a I
trip Of inspection over the fields on I
the Nezperce and Camas prairies
and according to his statement grain
on an average will not reach the
rumored yield. Mr.. Eaves, while on
the triP,made careful inspection Of
The grain and states that It never
looked better from distance, but
IN closer inspection the grain Is
considerably shriveled. Fall grain
which ripened before the hot weather /;
'egan will bring full crop. but
ate sown grain will be lipbt. Ac-
ording to the estimates Of Mr.. :

Report of Standing Committee on
Grapes, Figs and Kaki.
BY Mr.. B. NJ. Hampton.

BY Mr.. B. NJ. Hampton.
Mr.. President. Ladies' and Gentlemen
Fellow Members of the State Horti-
cultural Society of Florida:
For some reason beyond my ken. l
have been appointed as chairman of
the standing committee on grapes, figs
and kaki. While l have had some eX-
perience with all of these fruits. | do
not want you to think for one moment.
that l consider myself as expert au-
thOrity on any of them: but | suppose
you expect something said Oh the sub
ject, and so I will try and add my
mite.
The grape and the fig, as you all
know. are among the Oldest fruits of
which history gives us any record.
Under your own vine and fig tree
is as old as time itself. The vine es-
pecfally is almost worldwide. Take.
for instance. our own country. You
will find it fiOurishing on the bleak
and rocky hills of New England. and
mid the sunny glades of Florida. as
well as on the coral rocks of her
thousand keys or islands. One of the
most valuable fruits known to man
is the grape. and no home. however
humble, should be without its vine or
more of the healthful grape
Starting from the shores of the
Caspian Sea, You will find it flourish
ing in many lands and under many
conditions of soil and climate As |
have already told you. it grows from
New England to the southern eXtremi-
ty of the United States with more or
less profit: but up to the present time
with less profit in Florida than in
And as l said before everyone should
have vine or two at least, for their
own use. When you have nearby
market. other things being equal. you
can grow them with profit in Florida:
but as a bread-winner to be shipped
to a distant market. / do not think
it has proven a success.
L have known a number of vineyards
to be planted in Florida. but for some
reason they are soon dug up or aban-
dOned altogether. thus ting that
commercially speaking, they were not

acres some ten years ago. All went

is about as good as anything. Then
you can supplement this with some
good commercial fertilizer.
The fig, like the grape. will grow
| readily from cuttings taken at any

In writing these few lines on figs,
have taken it for granted that all
of you know about them, their culture
and use. | will just add that all of
the kinds | have mentioned are good
