FIGS IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
New Industry for That Section
Black Sandy Soil Best

As a commercial proposition
growing figs in Southeast Texas is
but two years old, though there have
been a number Of small orchards in
this section for many years. Near
Hampshire, in jefferson county, is
an immense fig tree which has been
in bearing fer more than 10 years,
and those who are acquainted with
it for that time say it has never
in ali those years missed putting
forth a good crop. In 1908, in JET
fersOn and Chambers counties, co.
600 trees were planted The plant
ings were in three distinct groups
located respectively near Port Ar
thur, Beaumont and at StOwell on
the edge of Chambers and jefferson
counties.
Mrs Hal Gripon of Beaumont
from a group Of six trees Of the
Ischia variety, nine years cid, has
gathered an average of more than
u bushels of figs to the tree by
actual measurement of each days
yield for this year
Figs can be planted $50 to 200
trees to an acre and when sold for
preserving purposes, bring q mini
mum of $50 per bushel at the fac
tory.
\ rather heavy, black, sandy soil
is most suitable for figs. There is
probably no fruit tree that responds
more readily to cultivation and fer
tilization For this reason they
should be given careful attention
and should be-kept free from grass
and weeds
PROFESSIONALLY the fig does best
when irrigated, and in seasons like
the present year, growth and fruita-
ton can be greatly accelerated by
irrigation Under favorable cOndi-
tions the fig viii stand a tempera-
ture of 10 to 20 degrees of frost,
though it is a warm-temperature
fruit. 1t is easily propogated from
hardwood cuttings. This should be
done in the fall, cutting just below
the bud. Should wood be scarce,
single-eye cuttings may be used
When this is done, they should be
started in frame.
Within two years from cuttings.
bearing plants may be expected
Above all things, the fig grove
should avoid planting his orchard
where drainage is poor, as the ug
tree will not stand wet feet.-Farm

Mistakes in Advertising.

In an address delivered before the
Associated Advertising Clubs of
America at their recent meeting in
Louisville, Ky, Frank H. Van Camp,
president of the Van Camp Packing
company, made it clear that the two
greatest mistakes in advertising are
the placing of weak copy in a strong
medium and the presentation of live,
persuasive arguments in a worthless
medium The latter blunder he aptly
Hkened to the wastefUlnesS of
spending time and money on the at
tractiye dressing of a show window

Welded at Rectory
 of St. Augustine's

(Continued From First Page.) his employers have been substantially recognized. His aptness at repartee makes his companionship much sought after at gatherings of bon vivants.
 MT. Dowd is indeed to be- congratu- latel upon his choice of wife, for his bride is chaming young woman of excellent training and with a mental equipment of superior nature. Her legion of friends knew of her ap- preaching wedding, but very few knew the time when 1t was to take place. Friends of the groom connected with the Locomobile Company whirled through the streets today with auto mobiles containing printed strips tell ing of the event. This was the re- venge taken by the associates of the groom because he refused to let them know the hour at which the ceremony was to be performed and their purpose was to be certain that the event was well advertised in advance. The toot toot and honk honk of auto horns kept up an almost continual din in the neighborhood of the home of the bride today.
