Local Fruit Supply
Scarce Tins Summer

The Washington housekeeper is find
ing no trouble in supplying her table
with fruit this summer. but as far as
the output of the local season is con-
cerned, it is proving a disappointment
OF four kinds of fruit which aousekeep-
ers usually look forward 20 at this
time Of GEAR two are decidedly scarce.
These are homegrown pears and
peaches. or the other two kinds
grapes and apples-the former Is run
ming ahead Of last years supply, while
the latter is barely breaking even. For
tunately, the falling on IN the supply
Of pears and peaches is being made up

keepers point OF view, in the end.
New York, also. has begun sending
down grapes, which promise to make
au unusually Well-supplied market with
this fruit, while the apple outlook is
every Dit as bright
AS for peaches, where the local or
chards have failed. those of Georgia.
Tennessee, West Virginia. and other
Southern States have more than done
their duty this summer. and shipments
Of the fruit are expected to continue
until late ia October
Since the falling of in local shipments

keeper viii be able to preserve a great
deal Of fruit at a moderate expense
Everything taken into account, the fruit
season should prove as satisfactory for
her as last years.

advent of the boil weevil makes it
necessary for us to turn to other
things than cotton, and that there
is nothing more profitable than
hog raising. He told of the sue
cess along this line attained by
Prof. Fox, of the Delta experiment
station; how, with an expenditure
of a little over $500, 20. 900 pounds
of pork was raised, which sold for
over $1,000, a net profit of $500.
Prof. Tracy suggested diagram
by which hogs can be raised cheap
ly, therefore very prohtably. The
plan is TO make enclosures of one
acre each, planting crops for the
hogs to; gather themselves, and
carry them from one enclosure to
another as the crops are eaten.
The suggestion is as follows:

Crops and Hog Raising.

Prof. S. M. Tracy spoke here
Friday on forage crops and hog
raising. A number of farmers and
other business men were present
to listen to the logical and con-
vincing argument of this noted ag-
riculturist, and many new resolu-
tions were formed for the coming
year.
Prof. Tracy proved by the gov
ernment year book that the hay
raised in this section contained
more protein than that raised in
Iowa, the greatest hay state in the
Unions also that we can get much
more per acre than capA be had in
states further north, where but one
cutting can be obtained in assessor.
