she became acquainted with friends OF
her hostess who were also bound for

House Committed Clerk Courts inD Demand

When congress recently voted $780,
900 for the relief of the Italian earth
quake victims. an unusual scene was
enacted in the house. A misunder-
standing had arisen between the presi-
dent and congress as to the amount of
the relief and the hill prepared by the
house committee on appropriations
did not fit with the presidents mes
sage by 100000. Courts was sum
moned by general alarm and re-
sponded readily, pen in hand. A con-
ference was held at the speakers ia
BILE lasting about two minutes. and
those two minutes brought 100000
more relief to the sufferers of Italy.
Courts and his pen fixed the bill and
Courts later rushed the bill to the en-
crossing committee and had it in the
senate in record time.
When congratulated by members
and civilians alike later Courts mere
ly smiled. When, however, some one
ventured TO suggest that 1t was an in
spring sight to see congress act so
generously and so quickly, Courts re-
piled: Il once knew a congressman
who made a speech in Faneuil hall,

It is well-known fact that fruit

pable of supporting and bringing to per-

consin experiment station suggests
that to aid nature in its work grow
ers should take away the extra fruit
The vitality of the tree is used up
by the number of seeds 1t is permit
ted to ripen. not by the size of the
fruit. 1t is readily seen that by re-
moving some of the fruit we con-
serve the fertility of the land, as well
as aid the tree to properly mature the
remaining fruit. A tree thai has thus
been thinned will bring forth more
fruit in bushels than other trees; and.
besides this, the fruit from thinned
trees is superior in color. size and
quality. Such thinning should not be
done, however, until the natural drop
of the fruit is over.

The kind of tree to grow is coming
TO be an important subject for dis
cussion and investigation. Ideas are
changing rapidly as to the values and
uses of certain woods. The longleaf
pine is disappearing from the land,
and there are few young trees to take
the place of the old. Necessity for fu-
ture wood material has resulted in
many Investigations and experiments
with inferior kinds of wood. Loblolly.
or old field pine, has been found to
be exceedingly durable when impreg-
mated with creosote. This has given
the old field pine new value. and to-
day thousands of railroad ties are cut
near the railroads and shipped to
treating plants to be creosoted. Small
portable mills are easily and cheaply
located, and many of these are now
cutting the best trees in these old
field stands for lumber to be used To-
cally among the farmers. The future
numbering will be carried on extern
sively in these second growth stands
of old field pine. The situation in the
north is very much the same. White
nine is here found occupying the old
fields as loblolly pine does in the
south. The seeds are light and are
carried considerable distances to the
open fields. where they find plenty OF
light and suitable soil conditions to
make excellent growth.
