At Shoesmith's Hall last Mon
day. Much Interest man
ifested at both Sessions.
PROF. |. R. TAFT WAS PRESENT
Growers Derived much Benefit
from Lectures on Fertilization
and Grape Spraying.

The fruit meeting at Shoesmith's hall
last Monday was a decided success.
The hall was crowed to its capacity at
both forenoon and afternoon sessions.
Prof. l.. h Taft of Lansing was the prin-
cipal speaker, and from the interest
manifested in his remarks, it is evident
that Paw Paw fruit growers are awake
and eager to push our chief industry
grape culture. Growers are not content
with doing fairly WELL but are determin-
ed to get to the top of this great indus
try
The forenoon was devoted TO the SUBJ
ject of fertilization, and it was clearly
demonstrated that with a proper under
standing OF this subject the efficiency OF
fruit lands can be increased at least fifty
per cent. Much good was derived from
the thorough discussion Of this impor-
tant topic.
The afternoon session was devoted to
spraying. This is a subject that has
probably required more attention from
grape growers during the past three
years than all others combined. Prof.
Taft has a thorough understanding OF
the subject, and experiments and 4ec-
lures along this line have saved thousands
! of dollars to growers in this vicinity.
Last years grape crop was record
breaker, but the industry is just in its
infancy Growers are making a careful
study Of the requirements of successful
fruit growing and Paw Paw can look
forward to the time, which is not far
distant, when she will lead all Others

JASON WOODMAN At hLLEGAN
Spoke at Farmers Institute. What
the Allegan Press Said of His
Visit There.

Ex-senator Jason Woodman of Paw
Paw was in the city Monday and until
Tuesday morning, aud made the Press
editor pleasant call A couple of years
ago Mr.. Woodman raised a bumper"
crop of potatoes on his farm, the yield
being go bushels per acre Commenting
on the matter at the time, the Press lok-
ingly remarked that probably the hired
mau did most of the work. People VINO
know Mr.. Woodman know that this could
have been only "A joke, for it takes a
mighty good hired man to keep up with
him on the farm-or anywhere else for
that matter. He pretended TO feel very
much burt at the Inference that he was
not really the chief reason for that great
yield of tubers, and took occasion then to
inform us-in his good -humored way
that he resented athe assumption. On
/ this latest visit be brought proofs of that
! immense yield in the form of photo
graphs One picture showed the pota-
toes lying in rows Just as dug, with the
/ Senator himself in the foreground, attired
! in typical farmer fashion. Another
showed the same field with four other
men at work. by which we may Justly
infer that it took four hired men to keep
up with him, although he did not say so.
A third picture showed a pit of the pota-
toes with one end open, as fine lot of
the pride of Ireland" as anyone would
wish to see. Mr. WoodmRn believes that
The time is not many years distant
when, by proper and judicious use of
commercial fertilizers, a yield of 400
bushels of potato es to the acre will not
be uncommon.

DESTRUCTIVE HAIL.
 Great Damage Done In Dublin Section of Texas.

Dublin, Tex, May 23.-This vicinity was visited Thursday evening by one of the most destructive hailstorms in many years. The cloud came from the northeast, and for an hour the hail and rain fell in torrents in the city. Damage was confined to fruit and gar den truck. Some few window lights were broken and the gardens literally beaten into the ground.
 Telephone messages from sevral sections are that crops of all descrip- tions and fruit and errdens are a total loss. The worst feature is that the hail fell in Greens Creek valley, where the farms were swamped during the recent floods, and all farmers had re- planted cotton and corn. The storm practically forces them to abondan many crops for this season. Reports from Purvis are that the rain was the heaviest in years. Small branches and creeks became roaring torrents.

PUT IN PRISON.
Mae C. Weed Insists That She and
 PIatt Are Married.

Platt Are Married.
 New York, May 23.-Mae c. Wood, whose suit for an absolute divorce from United States Senator Platt has been on trial in the supreme court here for several days, was committed to the tombs prison afer Justice O'Gorman had dismissed the complaint in her action. and ordered her held in $5,000 bail on a charge of perjury.
 The decision in Senator Platts fla vor and the sudden and sensational end of the suit came after a day which the defense occupied largely with the introduction of expert and other tes- timony attacking the authenticity of the documents by which the plaintiff was seeking to establish her alleged marriage to Senator Platt.
 Miss Wood was recalled to the stand in rebuttal She was asked if, after hearing the testimony about the mar riage certificate, she still reiterated that the defendant gave her the cer- tificate as she previously testified. "I still reiterate it." she replied.
 Justice OGorman turned to Miss Wood and pointedly qeustioned her. She repeated her. assertion that the marriage had occurred as she had stated. She admitted that Senator Platt never supported her. and when the court asked her if she did not con- slider it the duty of husband to SUD- port his wife she replied:
 "l do; but as long as he was not enough of gentleman to do so, never asked him to"
 Senator Platt's counsel then moved for dismissal of the complaint. It was forthwith granted by Justice OGorman who. in rendering his de- ciSion, said:
 "I cannot credit the plaintiffs evi- dence as to the alleged marriage, and the testimony, as it impresses the court, that this is most wicked design | to support false and fictitious claim 1 by forgery and perjury"
 She was obviously staggered by the sudden turn of affairs and the shock caused by the order of arrest. She | quickly regained her composure, how ever.
