Orchard Problems
Pickinu and Packing Fruit

When fruit crop of any kind
(apples, peaches, cherries, plums and
prunes) is raised the work is not done.
1t is very important problem to
know how to properly prepare our fruit
for the market. Not few successful
fruit growers fail at this point. First
of all comes the picking 1t is quite
common mistake to suppose that just
anybody can pick fruit. 1t is more
difficult to properly pick peaches than
any other kind of tree fruits. The
reason for this is that all the peaches
are not ready to pick at the same time.
AS rule we have to go over our peach
orchards three times in picking the
crop. Some peaches will be ripe
enough to pick while others on the
same tree are too green to pick. A
peach that is real soft is too ripe to
ship. If shipped in that condition it

ter as an excuse, if any is needed, for
so often referring to my own orchards

prelude to what l want to say about
our spraying. On the morning of
April 80 we commenced our spraying
for the cooling moth. We use three
outfits. One is run with our gasoline
engine, "Jack-of-All Trades" put up by
the Fairbanks, Morse Co. This is the
fourth year we have used this outfit,
except that we have changed pumps.
AS the outfit was put up, Myers pump
was used. We wore 1t out and are
glad that we did, We now use dou.
BILE cylinder Bean pump. This does
splendid work. We also use a Bonanza
pump put up by the Deming Co., and
it does splendid work. This is run by
an armstrong engine, and the arms in
this case are attached to the body or

This outfit we call our hand outfit,
because it is run by hand. The third
one is a dust sprayer 1t takes two
men and an eleven-year-old boy to run
the gasoline outfit and three men to
run the hand outfit. One man runs
the dust sprayer.
The first day the gasoline outfit
sprayed out twenty-one barrels and
the hand outfit eleven barrels. Thus
it can be seen that we save about one
half the cost, SO far as the labor is
concerned, in the use of the gasoline
engine. Then the pressure is kept up
somewhat better The gasoline engine
kept the pressure up to 120 to 100,
while the hand outfit was run from
80 to 100. But the men with the arm
strong engine did good work. If l
had a small orchard l would never buy
gasoline outfit. But why did we
use both outfits? Because we wanted

We started on Monday, were unable to

Even at the time he met with the ac-
cident Gaines was on an assignment.
He had left The Call Office TO report

was about to get off the car at Twenty

edge of the work AT various times he
held positions on all of the san Fran
cisco and Oakland dailies and also in
Los Angeles. His position on The Call

One of the oldest things that ever
happened on a ball field came of
this year in game between the
Chronicle and American teams in the
Newspaper league of Chicago. The
game was played at Callahan's park,
where the ex-National and American
league star is running a semi-profes-
sional team.
There was runner on third,
when the batter hit a sharp bounder
straight at the second baseman. The
runner was held at third and the
baseman threw the batter out at
first. AS he threw. the man on third
made dash for the plate and the
first baseman, pivoting, made the
throw to head him off, Seemingly
he had his man nailed by ten feet.
but half way to the plate the ball
suddenly shot downward, the runner
scored and the game was lost.
The first baseman, running in,
picked up a dead English sparrow
which, had collided with the ball.

Last of the Slave Ships.

Many things be forgotten in AZ
years, and probably few Americans
remember the story of the slave-ship
Clotilde that was run into Mobile
bay and burned one dark night in
1859, and how its cargo of slaves
was dumped off into the canebrakes
and left. some to be picked up and
starve. and some die of homesick-
ness.
Notwithstanding that it all hap
pened close to Mobile, scarcely any
one in this year recalls anything of
4. the facts. Only in an old scrap-book
of friend could 1 find a single
printed word about them and when
this friends daughter had once been
to the strange settlement, and had
decribed some of the peoples habits
of life in a charming little dialect
sketch, the dramatic situation seized
upon me. A burning desire possess
ed me to see these remarkable peo-
pie face to face. A chase followed
among the old negroes of Mobile, for
somebody had said / would find
among them a certain man who
knew the Africans. He also knew
the road through the big dark
swamp behind the city to their set
tlement. The fates were kind. and
at last I found a white man who, in
the old Confederacy days, had often
been to the settlement, knew the Az
ricans well. and, in fact, at a certain
time had them under his control as
a Confederate officer.
A drive of half a dozen miles over
an elevated plank road and through
a wilderness of trees and water
brought us out to the clay hills by
the Alabama river.
There was cluster of sawmills
close by in the 'piney woods" and
beyond these many negro cabins in
rows. But their occupants were the
common negroes, working in the
mills, and of recent arrival. II was
little they knew of the real "Afrl-
cans as distinguished from them
selves. After much inquiry. and
much running about the pineys, and
the pathetic-looking Confederate
breastworks that still stretch sullen-
ly for a mile and more through the
woods, we came TO a few African
houses. They were only dilapidated
cabins, but surrounded with truck
gardens and rose bushes. Hardly a
dozen of the old Clotilde's victims
are alive, though numbers of their
children live near the settlement and
have intermarried with the common
negro.
Few of the captured ones had been
more than twenty at the time OF
their enslavement, and all remem-
bered the horrible details as II they
had been experiences OF a recent
time. They were more stalwart in
appearance and of finer physique
than the American negro whose an
cester have been long in bondage.
Their eyes were brighter. too, their
voices even softer and more me-
