J. F. Wilson, of Poulon, Ga, editor of The Nut Growers Gazette delivered an interesting address on the pecan. He called 1t the greatest nut grown in the world. It was more than a nut. It was a food. Five pounds of the nuts would produce nearly d gallon of oil. To show the amount of oil In a healthy pecan the speaker put part of the kernel of a pecan on d pen knife. and lit it with a match. It rumcd sey- eral minutes as bright as candle light.
 Mir. Wilson alluded to the great prof its that are to be made in the growing oceans. He pointed out the rapid way in which the pecan was growing in thc favor of the people. It was being eaten more and more, more and more it was being used in the making of confcc- tionery and in other forms of food He predicted for it a great future. It was now one of tho most profitable crops grown. Trees had been known to bear as early as the sixth year and as fo, their longevity one generation ned not worry about it

MICHIGAN INNOVATION.
Important Addition to the Stat

Important Addition to the State
 'irangc of the Wolverene State.
 That the work of the information bureau of the Michigan state grange is marked success is attested by the amount of transactions through this bureau. While the fiscal year does not close until Nov. l, the following figures will give some idea of the work:
 During the past year this depart ment has sold over a million acres of real estate, 1000 head of cattle, 2,000 horses, 10000 sheep, 10000 hogs and q vast amount of poultry and eggs. Three thousand bushels of clover and timothy seed were also purchased, four carloads of potatoes were shipped to the east, forty-five carloads of cedar posts were purchased for patrons and 5000 pounds of cheese sold for them. and large transactions in binder twine could have been made, but this article and certain others on which the state grange has contracts the bureau does not handle.
 The managers are endeavoring to complete arrangements whereby they can ship direct to eastern markets hay, grain, etc. There has been a great deal of secondhand machinery exchanged, but as to the number and value of these transactions definite information Is wanting.
 It would seem to be a matter of in- terest to other state granges to take up a similar work, or perhaps for the national grange to provide a national grange bureau of information, based on the Michigan information bureau. Surely there is some practical work being done by this young offspring of the Michigan grange.

And this is particularly true if the early fall Is wet, as the tendency to rot Is greater If they are left in the ground than when they are properly stored.

For many years our chief supply of turpentine has come from North Caro- lima, but the drain has been so ex- haustive that the pine trees have all been killed. The present source of turpentins is from the farms farther south. where the pine forests extend for miles. Each farm consists of thou sands of trees, which. though not large at the base. grow to q great height. The sap taken season after season at last begins to deteriorate until at the end of five or six years 1t becomes too dark for commercial use; then the tree dies. These forest farms yield im- mense incomes for years. Most of the labor of collecting the sap and prepar- Ing 1t for market is done by negroes.

It is estimated that the best part of the rice kernel is lost through the re- fning process to which the rice is sub- jected. Most of the nutriment and much of the best flavor come from the rough portion lying next to the husk, and this is lost when the grain is rubbed and polished for American use.

Ten to one If the owner of a place looks after his rented property the tenant will likewise have more respect for It. If the fences are dilapidated, the walks broken, the window glass cracked, the clustering loose and ready to fall, the wall paper dingy and dis colored when the tenant goes in, you can depend upon 1t that 1t will be con- siderably worse when he leaves. Half the time the property Is all run down before any repairs are made at all, and then 1t costs a small fortune to make 1t fit to live in again. Then, again, don't jump at the first man that comes along who wants to rent the place. There are families and families. Some will keep a place up because 1t is the home, and they take pride In 1t, while on the other hand there are people who think nothing Is worth taking care of because 1t belongs to some enc else.

These are to be washed at the companies expense, a clean suit being furnished each day. It will thus be seen that an agitation which was inaugurated primarily in the interest af the consumer of meat products has resulted In a vastly increased condi- ton of comfort and cleanliness for employees in the plants affected.
