Ideal Farming.
Written for Green's Fruit Grower by
G.. A. Green.
Dedicated to President Roosevelt's
Farm Commissioners.

If strawberries grew without wedding,
If cherries were rubies aglow,
If plum trees bore turquoise, the farmer
Would no longer bend over the hoe.
If each apple sold for dollar,
And peaches would sell for dime,
If each cabbage head were diamond,
Wouldn't farmers have good time?
If farmers didn't have to do chores,
If milking machines all would work,
If COW stables were all self-cleaning,
Then farming would boom with jerk.
If farmers made hay in wet weather,
If drouth did no harm to the grain,
If bugs ate nothing but thistles,
Then farm lands would pick up again.
If cobs were covered with gold coins,
Instead of with kernels of corn,
We would spend our last days on the
homestead
And never look blue or forlorn.
If farmers were rich like Rockefeller,
If lard paid like standard oil,
We might play golf with Carnegie,
And shirk from lifetime of toll.
But farming is not all a poem,
We must work, we must sweat, we
must CLEAN,
So all we have said in this story,
Is much like summer nights dream.

Equinunk.

JAN. 4th.-The holidays have come
and gone. Equinunk has had its share
of Christmas Joy and Christmas sadness.
While some were made glad, others were
not so fortunate. However, we trust
that all appreciate the true meaning of
Christmas, and seek to initiate the life
of the Child of Bethlehem, who, although
He became a Man Of Sorrow, yet He
has filled many lives with JOY and glad
ness. Let us all seek to add little to
the sum total of human happiness.
Ralph Dillon, of Dillontown, is busy
saving wood for Equinunk folks this

engines and does the work in short order.

citrus culture remains, and the soil and
the sea are left, and these resources
are depended upon as factors which
may stimulate recovery as did similar
factors in the case of San Francisco
and Galveston.
1t Is possible now to estimate the ex-
tent of the disaster and speculate on
it's causes. Professor Ricco, director
of the observatory at Catania, states
that the earthquake of Dec. % had its
maximum violence in Sicily and at the
spread from Castroreale, in Sicily, to
Palmi, in Calabria, distance of forty
miles. The earthquake was felt less
violently from Noto, in Sicily, to Co
senza, in Calabria, a distance of 1856
miles. There have been at least fifty
minor shocks since the great one which
did so much damage, and more are to
be anticipated.
Earthquake experts who are study
ing the phenomenon generally agree
that the earthquake was the result Of
fault in the geological formation un-
der Messina, which constituted line
Of contact in the volcanic actions be-
tween Mount Etna and Mount Vesu-
vius, and that slip occurred similar
to the one which long ago detached
Sicily from the mainland. That sub
sidence occurred at some points and
that there was rising of the earth's
surface at others are proved by sound
ings which show the channel of the
harbor deeper at some places and shall
lower at others. The British battleship
E1mouth, at a distance one-half mile
south of Reggie, found fifty-eight faith
oms Of water where formerly there
were 243.

!. Calamity.


- UGH destTactio6 was wrought
fN BY earthquake and fire and tidal
,NY wave In the island Of Sicily;
that the italian government
proposed to prohibit rebuilding Of,
some OF the cities destroyed. So many
disasters have visited the regionNaa to
3treate the feeling that to dwell there
is never going to be safe and that 1t
ought to be abandoned to the use only
of wild beasts and vultures, crows and
other birds of carrion which are now
lowering over It, enjoying the feasts
on human flesh with which the vio-
lence Of nature has provided them.
But those who lived and toiled IN these
cities do not fall In with this view.
Messina, which had q population of
nearly 100000 before the earthquake,
was a very prosperous commercial
city. Those of its merchants who sur
vive do not agree that its site should
become desert and that the locations
Of their former homes, stores and busi-
ness Offices should be forgotten. In
stead of this they decided at q meet
ing held at Palermo to return to the
stricken city and when the ruins are
cleared away rebuild 1t once again.
When San Francisco fell before the
united attack of earthquake and fire
there was talk of abandonment Of the
site of the city. But this idea did not
prevail, and now, less than three
years after the great calamity, the
metropolis of the Pacific coast has
risen from its ashes more beautiful
and imposing than before.
In the rebuilding Of San Francisco
fire and earthquake proof construction
was largely followed. 1t is expected
that in the rebuilding of Messina the
italian government will impose restric-
tions as to building to prevent such
widespread loss of life in the future as
was recently caused by the shaking
down Of high walls and heavy roofs.
Probably the Japanese plan Of build
ing will be largely followed. The loss
of private property for the city Of Mes
sina is given at $4O0, ,000, 600, with very
little insurance. 1t was commercial
rather than an industrial city, and
therefore there were few large indus
trial plants to be destroyed. But there
were many fine public and business
buildings, which are now in ruins, in
addition to the thousands Of homes de-
molished. However, the capacity of
the locality to prosecute the silk and
