OF course If the head is lii shaped

there is nothing more exquisite than
the usual well shaped head Of girI

And why cover the forehead?
Along with the fashion of en0rmous-

successful attempt at hiding the fore
head by a mass Of hair.

Why try 10 hide this noble feature
as if the face were that of poodle

whatever is false and artificial cannot
be beautiful as nature is beautiful.

HORTICULTURE

Many persons have requested me to
give list of apples for commercial
purposes and for home use. Many of
these requests have been made in per-
son and some have come in by mail.
The reason for such requests is the
fact that very many people are con-
templating the planting of apple
orchards this fall or next spring. 1t
is very important in a case like this
to start right.
The first thing to which | would in
vite attention is the distinction be-
tween an orchard for home use and a
commercial orchard. 1t is true that
these two kinds of orchards frequent
ly blend together for the home or
chards during favorable years, will
produce a surplus and the CONNER
cial orchard may often be drawn upon
for home use. However, there is All
important distinction between these
two kinds of orchards. When we
plant a commercial orchard the ques-
ton uppermost is, will it pay? In
the case of the home orchard the
question is, Is it good l raise some
apples for my own use that will not
pay to be sent to market. l have
raised some apples that do not like,
because they pay we'll. However, l
have very largely discarded the apples
/ do not like for the simple reason
that other people are finding out what

five years ago in Iowa the Ben Davis

but he must go slowly in taking up
the new varieties.
Some one may want to say: ''You
have left out many of the best apples,
such as Grimes Golden, Baldwin,
White Winter Pearmain and many
others.' Yes, that is true. and it is
also true that those are good apples.
But l have left them out for the rea
son that 1 am writing from the stand
point of the best money makers. In
a commercial orchard, the grower
does not want too many varieties

What
a Competitor
Said---
"Gent1emen that's the finest
block Of apple gratis In the
United States"

He's the latest one of many East
ern and Western nurserymen to visit
our plant this season and since he's
been in the business all his life and
knows conditions East and West,
he's we'll qualified to judge.
He saw the finished product in
plant, for he tramped the length
and bredth of the 250 acres and
didn't need to be "shown." He
saw.
1t wouldn't be square" to men
ton his name much as we'd like to,
but the thing that gratifies us is
that he knows what he is talking
about and wouldn't have said it If
he hadn't meant it.
We wish every planter and or
chardist in the Northwest could see
out trees in the field after being
dug. We wish they could compare
them with others.
Some trees for which they are
paying good money would look dear
as gift in comparison.
A clean-bodied, splendidly rooted,
thoroughly ripened tree is our aim.
We've got it. We could use more
water and less horse and man power
and get bigger tops and less roots.
Costs less. Sells for less.
Pay the price. Take your choice.
