SUMNER EXCURSIONS
. TO LAKE TAHOE

The railroads have made a special
round trip rate of $25 from Goldheld to
Lake Tahoe for the summer and that 1t
is proving popular is evidenced by the
number of Goldhelders who are taking
advantage of it to spend a few days at
this popular resort. Lake Tahoe is the
prettiest place in the whole western
country and the facilities for boating,
bathing, fishing and camping give it an
added attraction to one who has spent
a few months on the desert.

ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT
OF PROMISING NEW FRUITS
BY william A. TaiIor, PomoIogist in Charge of Field In
designations, Bureau OF Plant Industry.

In a country like the United States
which embraces so wide a range of
climatic and soil conditions, the orig
ination and dissemination Of fruit
varieties is a very important phase Of
economic pomology. Without the
u%rigination of varieties adapted to pc
culiar regional conditions, there are
few sections in which profitable com
mercial fruit culture can be perma-
nently maintained. A considerable
degree OF adaptability to climate, re-
sistance to particular diseases or in
sects, and suitability for special uses
is essential to the profitable m%ainten-
ance OF fruit plantations in the open
air in most Of our territory. While a
few varieties Of most cultivated fruits
possess a high degree OF endurance
of varying conditions, such varieties
are usually of rather inferior quality
and not we'll suited to highly special
lied uses. Until a sufficient number
Of American-grown sorts has been &C
rumulated our fruit growers must

give promise of meeting their special
needs. The present article Of this
series a calls attention to some of the
more recently introduced varieties
that apnear to possess distinct merit

The Carson Apple.-Theoriglnal tree

by a relative of Mr.. Nathan Moore, OF
Toledo, O., from a small apple Seeding
nursery in Wood county, Ohio. owned
by a family named Carson. When it
came into bearing. about 1850, 1t was
so attractive in appearance and of
such excellent quality that Mr.. Moore
began its propagation and dissemina-
ton in northern Ohio about 1855 under
the name Carson" which it has ever
since borne. Its excellent record for

in this field Is the "Crocker," which
appears to have originated in a small
orchard planted by gold miners on the
American river. near Loomis. Cal,
about 1850 to 1850.
Its form is oblong, obovate, pyriform.
somewhat angular: size medium to
large; surface rather smooth; color
rich yellow, somewhat Melted and
overspread with russell: dots minute,
russell: stem medium to long, rather
slender, inserted o~bliquely, with little

flesh yellowish, buttery. juicy, with
some woody %granules near core: core
OF medium size, oval. slightly open
meeting the eye; seeds short. plump,
round, rather numerous; favor mild

. The tree is reported to be a vigor-

and regularly productive. The fruit
Is some what subject to scab in the To-
cality Of its origin. and therefore needs
to be sprayed to protect against this
disease. Season, January to March in
Placer county, California.
The Golden Plum.-Of the hybrid
plums originated by Luther Burbank
that have been introduced for a suf-
hcient time to render a forecast OF
their climatic requirements possible,
this variety appears adapted to the
widest geographical range. The orig

by Mr.. Burbank. from a seed OF Fob

NEED OF SLEEP VARIES.
Much Depends on Temperament and
Whether Mental or Physical Fatigue.

How long a woman should sleep
each night depends upon the kind OF
work she does and upon temperament.
If she is nervous more rest and sleep
are required than for one OF a
phlegmatic nature. according TO a ply
stefan who has specialized along these
lines.
The number OF hours OF sleep q
woman or man gets Is usually a habit
governed by their mode OF living she
says, ''and for this reason n can
easily regulate the time TO have suf-
hcient rest.
THE accepted time for sleep Is eight
hours. and for the average individual
this is enough but If less Is needed
