TRY PLANTING CITRUS
FRUIT TREES IN TEXAS
special to The Herald.


FORT WORTH, Texas July ID
South Texas may eventually develop
into great citrus fruit growing coun-
try Down in the vicinity of Beeville,
where there is an experimental station,
the matter of orange culture has been
agitated for several years, and expert
ments have seemed to demonstrate that
this fruit can be successfully grown.
Out of more than 200 trees planted
by G. C. Little on his orange farm near
that thriving city less than half a dozen
have failed to sprout. Other orange
growers have had equally as good sue
cess this year in establishing nursery
trees. Mr.. Little has bought ten acres
adjoining his first purchase, and will
next season plant it in oranges with the
belief that success is sure to be attain
ed. Other trials are being made in the
vicinity of Fort Lavaca.
P. L. Shuford, a practical California
orange grower. having long been en-
gagged in the business at Pasadena, in
that state, will embark in orange grow
ing on a commercial scale in Calhoun
county. He has bought fifty acres at
Alamo Beach for the firm of SlIlford &
Hall, of which he is the head, and will
plant oranges on every acre. Alamo
Beach Is practically surrounded by the
waters of the bays and the danger of
freezing is reduced to a minimum.
The building of new railways through
the South Texas country is bringing
that section to the front and causing a
development that was not considered
possible a few years ago 1t is believed
orange culture has a great future in
that section.

Fenstermacher, a rich farmer of Lynn

directs that his wife "shall have the
privilege of planting each year until her
death row of sweet potatoes and two
rows of Irish potatoes"

water in the well and the gates leading

dogs, eleven automobiles and one
child"
A systematic plan has been under
taken by T. V. Powderly, chief of the
division of information recently eStab-
lished in connection with the immigra-
ton bureau, for the better distribution
of immigrants among the different
states and territories of the Union. This
week Mr.. Powderly directed letters to
the governors of the various states and
territories requesting them to furnish
him such information as will aid him in
the work In these letters series of
questions is propounded, the principal
ones of which are:
Where is the demand for workmen
most urgent?
What class of labor is needed?
Are settlers on land needed?
What nationalities or races would be
preferable?
Does your state Cor territory offer
inducements to settlers on land?
If strikes, lockouts or other difficult
ties exist state fully the cause of same.
This last question is of especial i'm
portance, for the government is not go
ing to be put in the attitude of strike
breaker. Mr. Powderly makes this very
plain in his letter, for he says
IF you will keep us Informed of
strikes, lockouts, blacklists, boycotts or
the probable coming of same, we will
know how to act should application be
made to send laborers to locality
where industrial conditions are unset
tied"
1t is believed that this new arrange
ment and scientific distribution of new
citizens will be of especial benefit to
the newer states, and at the same time
it will prevent the crowding and con-
gestion now apparent in the larger
cities.

FATHER OF TRIPLETS
DENIED PROMOTION
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Triplets con-
stitute no ground for setting aside the
civil service rules in the government serv-
ice. This administration is against race
suicide, but its administrative details are
in the hands of unsympathetic folks who
stick to the letter of regulations even
when such strictness prevents rewarding
the deserving.
The other day a man in the customs
service in Boston wrote President Roose-
Welt of the birth of triplets in his family.
The letter mentioned that this was es-
termed an evidence Of adherence to the
presidents population program, and deli
cately alluded to the fact that there were
distinct difficulties about raising a large
family on the wages of a laborer in the
customs service. Couldn't the president
do something in consideration of papa's
meritorious service?
The president sent the letter to the
treasury and there it fell into the hands
of Assistant Secretary Reynolds, bach
elor, with no strenuous convictions about
race suicide and no realization of the ex-
pehse of raising triplets.
Mr.. Reynolds unfeeingly sent a package
OF civil Service rules and blanks to the
Boston man, showing him how to get pro-
NOTED.
The incident closed there, with the trip
let industry suffering from very bearish
influences.

Making Big Map

It is expected that much will be done
this season toward the completion of
the great topographic map of the Unit
ed States, which has been in prepare
ton by the geological survey for some
years. Work already has been COM
pleted in four states, and plans are laid
for taking up work in thirty-one states
and four territories this summer These
include California, Colorado, Illinois,
Kansas, Missouri, Oregon and Wyom-
ing. Work in the remaining ten states
and two territories likely will be start
ed next year.
Now that the canning season is COM
ing on apace the decision of the pure
food commission as to the use of ben
zoate of soda as preservative for to-
mato catsup, corn, tomatoes, pickles,
etc, is awaited with much interest.
Some of the manufacturers of food
products, headed by the H. j. Heinz
company of Pittsburg, appealed to the
commission to prohibit the use of ben
zoate of soda on the ground that it
was unnecessary and therefore could
not but be deleterious to health with
out any advantage. Samples were sub
United of many products packed with
out such personalities. Later other
manufacturers argued In favor of ben
zoate of soda, representing that it was
very useful in preserving foods which
otherwise would spoil.
Although DR.. H. w. Wiley, chairman
of the commission has gone to France
to settle the wine growers troubles, 1t
is expected the question will be decided
before long. 1t was his reference to
the use of benzoate of soda in pie fill
ings that was interpreted as a con-
domination of the eating of pie.
