But a number Of years later a group

by the horns at one EFFORT. by suddenly
appearing on the scene with the long

The St. Petersburg Times tells Of
some fine pecans that were grown in
the neighborhood of that city Pos
sibly the extra size might be accounted
for by the fact that the young trees
had but few nuts on them. Of course,
the improved quality is not attribut
able to the age of the trees, but may
be owing to a difference in soil and
climate, that of course, is in favor Of
Florida.

Growing Dates in Texas.

Date trees grow vigorously in many
parts of this state, but we have not
heard of any fruit. Probably there
has been the same trouble in Florida
that has prevented the development
of fruit in Texas, as told by cor
respondent of the Fruit Trade Journal.
Of course, if you have only pistillate
trees, or all staminate trees, there
can be no dates, but if you have one
or more of each kind, try hand polli
mating next spring. The Fruit Trade
Journal says:
The first perfect dates ever grown
in Texas are now being harvested
from two trees at the home Of Fred
WoolAey, in Laredo. The date palm
has grown and thrived throughout
the lower Rio Grande region for more
than a half century, and on the Mexl-
can side of the river the tree has
hourished for fully a century. Dur
ing all these years it has been unpro-
ductive The trees were never pol
1enated. Without artificial pollenation
the date flower is incapable of produce
ing perfect fruit.
Harvey c. Stiles, a noted horticul-
turist became interested in the date
palm trees of this section two years
ago He found that while they grew
to perfection and were to all appear
ances capable of bearing great quanti
ties of fruit, they were either entirely
barren or the fruit which they grew
was immature and worthless. He be-
gan experimenting with artificial pol
1enation and his success was marvel
Gus. He pollenated two trees last
year-one at Corpus Christi and the
other at Brownsville. These first ex-
trees which are already growing
could be made a source of wealth if
the artificial method of fruition was
carried out.
Mr.. Woolfey became interested in
the pollenation experiments, and this
spring he took great care in pollen
ating the two trees which grow in
his yard here. He succeeded in per-
fecting nearly every cluster of dates,
and each tree will produce nearly 400
pounds of the fruit. The first of the
fruit is now being gathered.
"I predict that the date will be-
come staple and famous product of
sern1-tropical Texas" said Mr. Stiles
"The best, most ideal date section is
that lying along the river, southwark
from Laredo, and eastward, but not
too near the coast, for while. the date
tree thrives in all its tropic beauty
and righteousness, near the coast,
and produces abundant fruit of good
flavor, yet the fruit from the sections,
hot and dry, free from humidity, is
the only date fruit valuable for com
mercial uses"

New Material for Road
Making.

A correspondent of the Reporter
Star, writing from Lake Butler says:
Enjoying Gas I do, after plodding in
the sand, ankle deep, for thirty serious
years. the privilege of living in town
reaping the privilege of the best and
most perfect roads the world has ever
dreamed of, let alone endeavor to
achieve, I feel that owe to your COM
munity the homage, which I now wish
to express For the furnish in push
and capital to enable Our village to
announce to the world at large, that
we enjoy, as believe, the best streets
which have ever been known, being
free from dust. Being noiseless, being
grateful to the eye, no slipping or
sliding for stock, never out Of repair,
easily rep1enished and of as lasting
material as the scientific world has
been able to designate, excepting
probably metal, and most unquestion-
ably healthy, for it ever and ever will
emit an odor of medicinal virtue and
I most certainly would be ungratefu1
were I not to dof my hat and bid
good cheer to these pioneer invest
ments, which as sure as the truth is
recognized will enlarge and spread out
until the entire southern sandy region,
the home of the yellow pine now pass
ing, will be supplied with grander and
more appreciate conditions than
Broadway, New York, for traffic and
pleasure with its cars and at less
tribute and-I defy any group of
doubling Shermans to dispe11 my
sanguine hope that if we will join the
Brown Ribbon Road Club and exer-
else our influence and jaws that be-
fore five years have whitted itself
away every road and hamlet in F1ori-
da will have been lifted out Of sand
and dust and the sound of the automo-
bile will be heard in the land Every
drummer making four times over as
many calls as he can possibly do by
horse or railroad without fatigue, Our
mail carriers have routes fully one
hundred miles, our school children
twenty-five or fifty miles to school
every day, our short distance traffic
hauls for one twentieth the present
cost. Our melons always raising in
every field as if whiting one mile of
station besides eliminating all time
(don't gap with wonderment) but an
swer this question, why will not all
fields ten miles away be as available
and on the same forty acres as on
which the station is located with our
Brown Ribbon Road and the automo-
bile and our beautiful state be en-
HANGED millions, is this not worth en-
thusiasm, the pure heartfelt Simon
Pure King. Let every citizen work
his Jaws, let every mother take her
children in the out house and learn
them to work their jaws, let every old
maid work her two jaws, and in the
frenzy get married and have four jaws.

reach some enthusiast as no other

EILER'S SHOW DID
NOT PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Eiler's big company did not put on
its second production of f'"Down Mo-
bile last night as intended. the
attendance was small, so small in fact
the management considered it better
to give his players a rest than play be
fore so small an audience. The mon
ey paid in on this occasion was return
ed and the company packed its goods
for transportation to Carlsbad.
The manager of the company stated
to a Record reporter that always be-
fore Roswell had been the best town
they visited the year through, but on
this occasion the circus and minstrel
as counter attractions proved too
much. The company did well Monday
night but not as we'll as when they
last visited Roswell. From here they
go to Carlsbad, where they and AL
lens Minstrel both play tonight
