BY January 1, there probably will
be state fruit tree inspectors appoint
ed to work under the direction of
State Entomologist Gillette. Attorney
General Barnett has reached a decis-
ion regarding the validity of law
passed by the legislature two years
ago, by which inspectors of fruit
trees imported into the state were
provided, and an appropriation of
$4,000 made for the work. The law
requires that the work begin in 1909,
although no definite time of the year
Is named. The question of its con-
stitutionality arising from the fact
was referred to the attorney general.
II is not believed that the entire ap-
preparation designated in the statute
can be granted, but a portion of the
sum probably will be devoted to the
work.

EXTENSIVE PREPARATION FOR
GREAT EVENT AT DENVER
IN JANUARY.
PROGRAM ARRANGED
SPECIAL DAYS SET APART FOR
DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF
COLORADO.

Denver.:-With formal ceremonies in
the theater part of the Auditorium, the
Colorado National Apple Exposition
will be opened to the public Monday
night, January Bird, at 1880 o'clock.
The Growth of the Apple Industry in
Colorado" will be the subject talked
upon by some of the most prominent
men in the state.
After Monday, the exposition will
be open all day and until 10:30 each
night. Aside from the general pro-
gram of the exposition, special pro-
gram will be carried out each day in
honor of the different sections of the
state.
Tuesday will be Arkansas valley
day, the ceremonies for this occasion
beginning at 2 p. m. Talks will be
made by men prominent in the affairs
of that wonderfully productive section
of Colorado.
On Wednesday at the same hour the
western slope will do the honors.
Thursday has been set aside as ma
tional apple day, when addresses viii
be made by men of national reputa-
ton in the apple world.
Friday will be northern Colorado
day, and Saturday Denver day.
Preparations for the big show have
aroused enthusiasm in all of the
states of the Northwest. The apple
growers of that section have heard
that Colorado intends to give the
other states fast race for honors, and
the growers of the Northwest realize
that they will have to select their very
best apples if they hope to win any
prizes in the Denver Auditorium.
Michigan, Iowa, Georgia, Nebraska
and Missouri are sending some fine
exhibits, and Ontario, Canada, has
heard the call from the Centennial
State and will compete for honors with
her far-famed Macintosh reds and
Rome Beauties. British Columbia has
been in line for some time and VIII
send the same kind of apples as those
from Ontario.
1t is expected that more than 1900
boxes of apples will be on exhibition.

quite good half dozen different sorts
of trimming
The color schemes appear at first
glance eccentric in the extreme. for
there are rich, dazzling hues with
grays as dull as the foundry's smoke;
coral or pale blue with violet: green
with azure; everything under the sun
with brown and black and white.
The many tunic effects are equally
liberal in their whispered words to the
home sewer, for over dull gray satin
slip a blue spangled net may be
draped and this in turn, may show
gray border; while many giddy over
skirt may be of one color and the rest
of the dress of quite another. A pand
bordering. suggestive of the entredeux
outlines number of the tunics, which,
If they are not overskirts, are tishwlfe
aprons or Greek draperies, or efects
which more than suggest the old-time
polonaise.
1t would be putting on foolish airs
to say that these tunics are not pretty.
for they are all stylish and graceful
and highly esteemed by the smart
woman. And, after all, it Is this ladys
opinion that counts.
AS to sleeves, plain sleeve Is only
seen in a severe tailor dress. All the
rest are draped and braided and made
in sections which fall over lace and
other gauzy undersleeves. these giving
more ideas, by the way, of how to
make over and use up things on hand.
One phase of the modern polonaise
is here shown, and no dress model
could be prettier or more suitable for
| young matron. whose hair, by the
way, could be fixed on the evening oc-
| casion as is the models.
Silk cashmere or yelling could be
used for this dress. But. If something
| less expensive is needed, the cotton
crepes supplied for evening would be
admirable, and a plain or flowered rib
bon would charmingly form the bor-
| dering.
The simplicity of the drapery here
| shown defies worry, for 1t Is possible
| to cut each half of this tunic in sim
gle piece and use a double row of
stitching for the waist gathering. The
plain elbow sleeves. with their border
| finish, are very stylish. and at pinch
| the tassels which finish the ends OF
the drapery could be the cotton oaes
supplied for wash curtains. With any
colored cotton crepe these would be
acceptable, for with a colored dress
the white tassel could be overhung
! with narrow ribbons in the same
shade, and be exceedingly stylish.

cent one-tone beads, are most satisfac-
tory, and require less patience than
the ones worked in patterns. love
ly bag of this kind is made entirely OF
brown silk with small bronze beads
and the frame is gold plated. In this
bag the beads seem to be put on in
horizontal rows of three, the three
beads being strung at one time. These
rows make stripes that are length
wise of the bag and that are separated
by only one stitch of the silk. Very
effective bags are worked on fine
cross-stitch canvas. which comes
stamped for the purpose in various
kinds of patterns. Such pieces may
be bought with the pattern all worked

saen be sown without danger from the
planted to flats and then to cold
frames, though they are not so rigor
ously hardened as cabbage plants. A
full ton of high grade fertilizer, run
ming about six per cent of nitrogen,
eight of phosphoric acid, and ten OF
potash, is applied to each acre. The
fertilizer should be put on just before
the plants are set, about the middle oil
May. The distances are SO inches be-
tween rows, and seven inches in the
row. Great care should be taken to
avoid setting the plants too deep, as
the crown is partly covered and the
plant seriously stunted, usually ruined.
A row planted by careless worker
is conspicuous monument to his
memory throughout the season.
The water problem is very serious
matter, and especially in growing
celery. There is hardly a year when
drought does not curtail the crop. IT
rigation is the only remedy. Leaf
spot or celery blight is the most ser
ious pest 1t can be held in check by
faithful applications of Bordeaux mix
ture.
Blanching celery in hot waether is
not so easily accomplished as in the
fall Soil at this season affords most
favorable conditions for rust. Instead
of this method. 12-inch boards are
used. Only good lumber is purchased
cleats are nailed on to prevent split
ting. and the boards are as well cared
for as hotbed sash, far better than
many gardener cares for them
Each board does service six to sever
times in a season. When the plants
are - inches high, the boards are
set beside them and fastened in place
with clamps made from piece oi
heavy wire about 10 inches long, and
bent to little less than a right angle
two inches from each end. Pairs OF
rows are selected at intervals over the
field for the first blanching. In this
way wagon-ways are opened and labor
is saved in moving the boards from
row to row. The process requires
from 10 days to two weeks, according
to weather conditions. When ready
ior market, the celery is dug with
spades and stripped of outside leaves
in the field. 1t is hauled to a shed
trimmed, washed with hose, bunch
ed, and scrubbed. The root is cut tc
a four-sided wedge and three or foui
stalks are tied at top and bottom into
fiat bunch.

help the plan in every way they can.

do has been growing stronger and
stronger for long time under the
leadership of Mr. Walker. He showed
that the movement is not to be clas-
sified as a mere fancy, but has al
ready been started in concrete form
In the last twenty-four years, accord
ing to statistics provided by Mr..
Walker, 10000 negro emigrants have
sought their new republic. Mr.. Walker
has personally aided 752 emigrants
from Western states to get low rates
for the trip.

New Wells unbecomina.

How many readers are interested in
the new wells which have made their
appearance? 1t hardly seems possible
that such really distiguring monstrosi
ties can become generally popular, or
even liked by few women, for why
should we wear articles of dress
which not only do not add to our
beauty, but actually detract most seri
ously from it? This refers to the lace
wells which show upon ones cheek
or chin, or even forehead. leaf or
flower, giving the effect of tattoo
mark or facial blemish. How any won.
