Shady Streets of Dutch Cities. Iarper's Weekly.

The average Dutch town is an at tractive place in the summer months. since practically every street and ca nal is bordered with shade trees which shut out the glare of the sun and offer cool and inviting avenues for the eX- ploration Of the tourist. The banks of these canals are generally terraced in houses and the upper one for shops or dwellings,: but each elevation Is plant ed with trees.
 At best. a city Is an exceedingly poor location for tree culture. Narrow streets, with tall buildings, exclude the life giving sunlight; asphalt or closely paved walks prevent the necessary moisture from sinking into the ground and nourishing thirsty roots, and leak age from the gas mains Is deadly poison to the growth of all vegetation. cised in the selection of the variety of tree for street planting, in order to get the best results.

AS TO CROP CONDITIONS.

Correspondent Objects to Crop Letter
 Recently Sent Out.
 Ansley, Ala, June 2S, 1909. Editor The Advertiser:
 In yesterdays Advertiser is pub lished an unsigned crop letter by a which makes misstatement Says this letter:
 Rain occurred generally throughout aask ns ana aygah the retarded Pff farm but clear and hot weather has pre- vailed for the past few days. and the nights have been warm, which IS just such weather as his now needed.
 I live in Pike County, near the line between this county and Montgomery County, and own lands in both coun- past week in which no rain felT here. This is practically true of large por- ton of Montgomery County. This also applies to greater poru4n WiTn oI ,he FaKe ax ception of eight days following June 3, inst, 1t has averaged raining nye days out of each week since May 20 ultimo.
 Again says this letter: "In some sec tions the plant is still small and the fields are also grassy, but in our ex- peerience such conditions at this a,na time nor necessarily serious"
 Baron Munchausen surely has come to life again: Viii he kindly name one one
  plant is of normal growth and the fields are clean? Possibly on the high lands east of Montgomery conditions are to some extent favorable. When- ever did the writer of that letter ever before know of a wet May followed by an excessively wet June. I am so years old. Perhaps he Is an hundred;
 Work Is being pushed rapidly, and with the plentiful labor Is making good progress" That may apply near Montgomery where farmers can hire of extra laborers could find employ ment in Montgomery County alone. to say nothing of adjoining counties. will the Baron be so kind as to send a few hundred to this vicinity immedi- ately? Now here is the biggest or all: we still believe that there has been practically no damage thus far that cannot be repaired with good season from now on.'
 Does this letter writer remember 1873? In that year we had very wet May followed by good seasons aiter- ward, and, yet 1t has been regarded as the worst crop year we have had until this year. The rainfall for Alabama to date is 47 inches This in itself Is complete refutation of the misleading crop letter.
 (Our correspondent no doubt truly reflects conditions about his immedl- ate vicinity. but there have certainly been more than one day of sunshine in and around the city of Montgomery. South of him, in Southeast Alabama, crop conditions have been reported as being nearly ideal It is nevertheless a fact that as a general thing the crop conditions in Middle Alabama have been most unfavorsple.-Ed.

Pie Editorially Carved.
York Evening Sun.

New York Evening Sun.
 Pie alone. or as prelude or post lection of feasting. It may be grace before meat or after, but 1t is always a benediction, a blessing. There are travesties of pie. but of them we do not speak. Pie that is worthy the name, pie that is pie, is the light that never was on sea or land of Cockaigne, the consecration and the poets dream of fast breaklng-the fine fancies Of Characterization were nourished on pie for breakfast. It is heavens best gift to man. We do not know exactly what the ambrosia Of the immortal gods may be, nor their nectar either. but there is reason to believe that the milk of mortals. At least. it is beyond mortal mind to imagine more excel lent menu and the perfection of pie It. self Is its all-encireling outer edge of crust.
 If the appreciation of pie is to begin pies divided Into wedges? The instinct of the race is sound upon this point and Is the convincing answer. A pie Is not made; 1t grows under the hands of ge- nius and its periphery Is the finishing touch of creation. It Is the last word in pie. The apex of a wedge of pie is the alluring overture to crescendo of delight which reaches its climax in the "crust end" and as this crust becomes part of oneself one knows what pie Is for. The "crust end" Is the final cause of pie Itself. Its raison d'etre, the solu- ton of the blissfuI riddle. why Is pie. It Is the last act of the play with a of the romance. In which they lived happily ever afterward It Is that which whets the appetite for another wedge. It tastes like more.
