Mexico, seedless dates have been ad
ded to the so-called ''seedless' group
of fruits. A seed, planted in 1884, has
grown into a tree and for the last
three years has been producing seed
less fruit. AS it would seem from this
it took 20 years before it began fruit
ing, we old folks need not hurry to
grow these trees.
The Pensacola Journal Islands" up
for its own particular section as fol-
lows: Editor Watterson said this
glorious gulf coast country was superb
or to the balmy climes of Italy and
Spain. And Editor Watterson only
saw a small portion of the Florida gulf
coast. If he had visited this section
he would have likened it probably to
the garden of Eden, where the birds
sing sweetest and the gulf zone is at its
best" And, how about snakes in this
garden?
In mentioning the erection of an
irrigating plant near Kissimmee by a
truck grower, the Gazette is led to OBJ
serve that, ''it will be only a few years
now till all of those who attempt to
raise vegetables for market will follow
suit. Trucking, then, instead of being
a gamble, as at present, will be GER
tainty."
This suggestive item is from the
Ocala correspondent Of the Indiana
Farmer: "Chief farm productions are
vegetables and fruits for Northern
markets and this industry is very
proftable-to the express and other
transportation ompanies-sometim
they allow the trucker to get enough
out of the crop to encourage him to
try again the next year." But how
long will he continue to be "encourag-
ed?"
When Texas cotton grower decides
to put his $50 acres OF land, hitherto
given to cotton growing, into peanuts
and other farmers over there are to
do the same, there must be something
wrong somewhere, but not with peanut
hay, since, ba1ed with the nuts on the
vines, they are said to make the finest
feed known, for all kinds of live stock.
It will be news to at least the truck
ers of Florida that they are becoming
among the wealthiest men of their re-

Prof. P. H. Rolls, director Of the
Florida Experiment Station, must be a

that, in his repertoire of lectures to
be given at farmers Institutes in the

topics, each treated in separate
lectures, suited to the specialties of the
districts wherein fruits, tropical or
otherwise, farm products and truck

The Date Palm in Texas.

Since the announcement was
made that the Department of
Agriculture had arranged for the
free distribution of date palm seed
for planting in the Rio Grand Val
zey there has been some discussion
IN the press that indicates a decid-
ed lack OF information as. to the
industry it is proposed to encour.
age.
The question as to whether the
date palm will thfive in the. section
named will be easily answered by
the fact that date palms have been
growing for many years on both
sides of the Rio Grande for con-
siderable distance up the river from
Brownsville That these trees, or
some of them. will bear fruit has
been demonstrated, but it requires
Intelligent assistance to assure the
maturity of the fruit.
A horticultural expert who has
been experimenting with the date
palm in the Rio Grand Valley, both
on the Texas and the Mexican
SIDE. has succeeded in obtaining
excellent results, and there are
zow under. his guidance and care
date palms many years old that
will yield probably two hundred
pounds of dates this year, though
the fruit on them has never ma
tured before. He says, after the
date palm begins to bear it will
produce from $50 to as high as
1000 pounds of dates, and of a
commercial value which is not even
approached by the product of any
other known fruit tree. He is also
convinced that no other soil and
climate in the world is better
adapted to their cultivation than
that of the Rio Grande Valley
San Antonio Express.

MONDAY. MAY 6, 1907

Snow in Chicago, Omaha, Neb.,
and many other northern cities,
with almost a blizzard at st. 10
seph, Mo-, and sleet at Wichita,
Kansas, on May 8, make the slight
GOODNESS that affected South Texas
on that date seem quite natural.
The reports from all over the
North of this spring cold wave are
such as to knock out the reckoning
of the oldest inhabitant. The
worst of it is that fruit and other
crops have been ruined over large
area of the Middle West.

The Mules Understood.

A story Is told of Senator Knute Nelson. who spent some of his early years in a logging camp. He there discovered the necessity of certain emphatic language in order to make mules move. All varieties of tongues were in demand in that camp: Scandinavian. German. Italian-but none of the words used seemed to have the explosive force to adjust the tempo of the mule to the desired pace. Along came a strappng Irish man, who used some popular exple- tiyes. usually indicated in print by blank, blank. or - -. The mules moved!

NERVOUS COLLAPSE
IS OFTEN PREVENTED BY oa
 WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
'aken When the First Warning Symo- toms Are Noticed Much Needles.
 Suffering May Be Saves

Are you troubled with pallor. loss of spirits, waves of heat passing over tbe body, shortness of breath after slipht eAertion, a peculiar skipping of tho heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi- . tles or feeling of weight and fullnessp Do not make the mistake of thinking that these are diseases in themselves and be satisfied with temporary relief
 This IS the way the nerves give warn. ing that they are breaking down. It simply means that the blood has become impure and cannot carry enough nourish- ment to the nerves to keep them healthy and able to do their work.
 Hest, alone, will sometimes give the needed relief. The tonic treatment by Dr. Williams Pink Pills, however. pre. vents the final breakdown of the nerves ana the more serious diseases which follow, because the pills act directly upon the impure blood, making it rich. red and pure.
 Mrs. F.. O. Bradley, of 1o3 Parsells ayenue. Rochester, N. Y, says:
 was never very healthy and some years ago, when i'll a run down condi. tlon. suffered nervous shock, caused by misfortune to friend. It was so great that was unfitted for work.
 "I was just weak, low-spirited and nervous. could hardly walk and could not bear the least noise. My appetite was poor and did not care foi food. I couldn't sleep well and once for two weeks got scarcely an hours sleep. I had severe headaches most of the time and pains in the back and spine.
 was treated by two doctors. being lnder the care of one of them for six months. l got no relief and then de. cided to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I soon began to feel better and the i'm provement was general My appetite became hearty and my sleep better. The headaches all left and also the pains in my back. A few more boxes entirely cured me and 1 was able to go back to work. l felt splendid and as though I had never been sick"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable In such diseases as rheumatism, after effects of the grip and fevers, neuralgia. St. Nitus' dance and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid on receipt of price, 90 cents per box. six boxes for S2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

DOCTORS FOOD TALK
Selection of Food One of the Nest In. rortant Acts in Life.

A Mass. doctor says: Our health and physical and mental happiness are so largely under our personal con trol that the proper selection of food should be, and is one of the most i'm portant acts in life.
 "On this subject, I may say that I know of no food equal in digestibility, and more powerful in point of nutri- ment, than the modern Grape-Nuts, four heaping teaspoons of which is sui. ficient for the cereal part of a meal, and experience demonstrates that the user is perfectly nourished from one meal to another.
 T am convinced that the extensive and general use of high class foods of this character would increase the term of human life add to the sum total of happiness and very considerably i'm. prove society in general. l am free tc mention the food, for I personally kaow of it's value
 Glape-Nuts food can be used by babes in arms, or adults. It is ready cooked, can be served instantly, either cold with cream, or with hot water or hot milk poured over. All sorts of puddings and fancy dishes can be made with Grape-Nuts. The food Is concentrated and very economical. for four heaping teaspoons are sufi. cient for the cereal part of meal.
