ColOring Of Fruit.

As we'll colored fruit sells to
such an advantageit seems that
growers should make an effort
to supply the deficiency in soils
where the fruit does not color
well.
Men who have a knowledge OF
chemical fertilizers are the ones
who are able to grow he best
colored fruit. 1t has been the
practice of some growers fol
years to use chemical fertilizers
for the improvement of botl
color and quality Of fruit, phos

Where liberal Quantities o

Ell PasO County Texas to Hold
Snacial Election,

On account of A. L. Sharpe be-
ing appointed collector of GUS
toms at Ell Paso to succeed Pat
Garrett, Ell Paso county, Texas,
will hold special election. on Feb.
2, '06, to elect a representative
to fill the vacancy caused by Mr..
Sharpe's resignation to accept
the collectors customs job. Mr..
Sharpe is a Republican, and, we
believe, was one Of only two Re-
publicans in the Texas legisla-
ture. The FL Paso Times says
that the Republicans are not
likely to put up candidate un-
less the Democrats should put
candidate who would be unfit
for the job. If the Republicans
and independent voters of El
Paso County, Texas, can elect
good men to Office We see nc
reason why they shouldn't get a
move on themselves and do bus
mess, and thus prevent the
Democrats from wrangling over
unfit men.
