Mangoes.

The East Indian mangOeS are ack
to be the finest fruit in the world,
next to the mangosteen, which latter
cannot be successfully grown outside
the Malay Archipelago and adjacent
region. The mango, however, thrives
in the West Indies, on any kind of
soil and in South Florida wherever it
escapes severe cold. Mr.. VIM. Fee,
U. S. Consul at Bombay, writes that
the choice named varieties of mango
are successfully shipped to England,
where they realize enormous prices.
Therefore is seems that with our vast
home markets, hardly one-fourth as
far from the West Indies and Florida
as Bombay is from England the
cultivation of the fancy mangoes
should become in time, as important
as the citrus, pineapple and banana
industries.
The great obstacle which has delay
goes so long, has been the fact that
they will not come true from seed and
neither scions nor buds will bear the
journey from India. Whenever a tree
is severely cut back, by amputation,
either of roots or top, the shock
renders the tree particularly subject
to the attacks of fungus diseases
spores of which are present wherever
the tree is known. Thus a vigorous
tree well established in a pot or tub,
must be taken so that no recently cut
roots or tops may conduce to the
entrance of disease. Hundreds of in
arched trees have been imported from
India, grown in large earthen pots

danger of heat prostra ton, and when
night comes he finds no relief from
the hot, burning heat. AS the sun

night is spent tossing from one side
of the bed to the other in a vain effort
to find relief from the burning heat.
When morning daWns, he finds him

Years ago we lived in Missouri and
at one time had an experience along
this line that we shall always remem-
Der. For thirty days the thermome-

period there was not breeze enough
to stir a leaf Or twig ON a tree. The
ground became parched, great cracks
filled the rOadways, in some instances
so wide that the road commissioners
had to fill them; the corn fields dried
up, the oat fields were almost ruined,
the meadows looked as though a fire
had swept over them. To labor in the
fields or other outdoor work was al
most impossible. To get good, refresh
ing sleep was out of the question.
These peculiar conditions never exist
here in the South. Warm but COM

Prof Rolls says that at Miami, he

would kill the stump outright. A

time favored budding and gave him
directions how to proceed, which I
presume he followed However, 1
gather that of late years they have
reverted to marching again. In 80
[ had a fine budded nursery at Mel
bourne, but the freeze killed it out.
In '9S | had fine lot again at Palm
Beach, also budded, (open ground),
which sold to various parties, and in
nearly every instance, the bud died
and | had to refund the money. l
then tried TRANSFORMING them myself,
and found that after resetting the
disease almost invariably attacked the
bud and often killed it. l tried bud
ding in pots and proved it not to be
feasible and at the same time, I was
carrying on an exhaustive series of
experiments, assisted by Mr.. J. T.
Bergin (who had just accepted posi-
ton with the Tropical Fruit Co., of
Porto Rico, as propagation and manag-
er for a 100 acre mango grove.)
Having already eliminated the open
ground proposition, we confined our
efforts to pot grown stock, making
comparative tests of every conceivable
method OF budding, root marching,
and grating; spelling enough stock
and scions to have planted out a 80
acre grove, had we known what we
do now. But I do not consider it
was wasted, or stock thrown away,
because it has enabled us to know
from personal knowledge the best
methods for multiplying the mango.
'The results have pointed to- the same
conclusion arrived at by the Govt
experts at Washington, i. e. that for
nursery trees marching is the only
practical method of propagation.
Trees in, open ground which are not
to be transplanted may be bud
ded, grated, sprig- budded and root
marched with more or less success,
generally less), but the only rapid
and certain method of putting a fancy
top on large Seeding tree in a given
time, is that mentioned above, l. e.
marching with an marched pot-grown
tree. | have sold a great many trees
that were eye budded, grated, sprig
budded and root marched, but in
every case, 1 had to hold them one
year longer in nursery than marches
made at the same time in order to
nurse them and get them in proper
vigorous condition for sale.

marched Mulgoba from four-inch pot

PROFESSOR ROBERT p. NOBLE.
Just Elected to the Presidency of the
New Mexico School of Mines.

Robert Peellc Noble, A. NJ.
whom the Board of Trustees have
just elected president of the facul-
ty of the School of Mines. is a
man of unusual scholarly attain
meutS. He will doubtless viudi-
cate the wisdom of the Boards
choice of a man for the respon-
sible position upon which he will
enter next September.
Professor Mobiles professional
career may be summarized as fol-
lows: He graduated at Depauw
University in 1901 and received
his Masters degree from the same
institution three years later; was
graduate student at Johns Hop
kins University in 1912; princi-
pal of the Charlottesville, Indi-
ana, high school for four years;
graduate student at the Chi
cago University; Professor of
Chemistry at Vincennes UniverS-
ity; and Assistant Professor of
Chemistry at the Armour Insti-
tute of Technology. At the close
of his professorShip at this last
institution in 1904, he accepted
the chair of Chemistry at the
New Mexico School of Mines,
position which he has filled for
two years to the entire satisfac-
tion of all concerned, as is shown
by his being chosen for the preSi-
dency of the institution.
Besides being a man of schol-
arly attainments, Professor Noble
is an earnest and enthusiastic in
structor, and, naturally, very
popular with his students. The
responsibilities of the position to
which he has just been elected
are neither few nor slight, but
those who know him best have
no fear that he will not meet
them we'll.

THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Max Kirchman's Options on City
Lands Extended. Steps Taken
for Street Improvement.

AT "A special meeting of the
city council in the council rooms
last night, Max Kirchman's
option on the city's lands was
extended six months. The option
was. slightly modified, however,
so as to protect all bona fide set
tiers who have occupied city
lands during the last year.
Mayor Bursum announced the
inauguration of a movement for
the Strengthening of several
streets. The Mayor stated that
Attorney Jas. G.. Fitch had
agreed to donate enough of his
lots adjoining the Terry block to
straighten Fischer avenue; also
that Councilman Abran Abeyta
would donate the land west of
his store necessary to straighten
Bernard street from the plaza to
the Catholic church and also TO
leave a park between his store
and the Terry block. When
Mayor Bursum suggested that
the Improvement of Mt. Carmel
avenue was on the program also,
Councilman Jose +. Torres au-
nounced that he owned property
on both sides of that avenue and
that he would donate all the land
necessary for such improvement.
The announcement was applaud
ed. Like improvement will be
made on Abeyta avenue.
This is not the only scheme
that Mayor BurSum has up his
sleeve" for the improvement of
the city, as readers of the Chief
tain know. but it is enough 10
show that those who favored his
election did not mistake their
man.

ANOTHER LOSS BY FIRE
The Southwestern Lead and Coal
Company's Office at Cutter
Burned


Max b. Fitch, manager for the
Southwestern Lead and Coal
Company, operating in the Ca
ballo mountains southeast of this
city, was in town Tues
day and told of the de-
struction of the company'S Office
at Cutter by fire Saturday morn
ing. Mr.. Fitch said that the
Office was situated on the Santa
FEES right of way, that in fact a
part of it was used by the rail-
road company as a station, and
that the fire proba bly, originated
from sparks from a passing loco
motive. The building was burn
ed to the ground in about twenty
minutes. The loss amounted to
about 81, 800 and there was no
insurance. The Southwestern
company will rebuild the office at
once Of less iuflammable mater
ial and will make the building
large enough to serve as Office
and store as we'll.
