Trappe secretary, and whose duty 1t
is TO bring TO this State as good a
class OF agricuIturists FROM other
States and from abroad as possible
with the view of improving the neg
lected and abandoned farmlands OF
Maryland, has had the most successful
year In the history of the office.
In the last year more strangers have
taken hold OF Maryland farms than In
any previous year of the States his
tory.
A statement showing the strangers
and foreigners induced to settle In
Maryland within the year, together
with the number OF acres of farm land
taken up by them and the price paid
for the land, has been compiled BY the
bureau.
In addition to this the bureau has
assisted native farmers, and 1t Is said
the farmers were less affected by the
unsettled financial conditions OF last
year than any other class.

BIGGER ORANGE CROP
 THAN LAST YEAR
Seventy Five Carloads Will Probably Be Sent Out of the Valley This
 Season

The orange season k just about ten days late this year." said W. c Mumpcr. jr. superintendent of the packing house yesterday; the fruit is ripening slowly and it has not begun to come in in large quantities yet hut by the first of the week the pack ing house will be running to its full capacity or nearly so.
 It was the intention to ship the first car of fruit from Arizona yesterday but the wagon loads of oranges came in slowly and by afternoon it was seen that there would not be enough to fill a car. It is. not precisely cor rect to say that the first oranges will be shipped early in the week. Forty half boxes of the finest sort of fruit have already been sent out and are now in Chicago graceing the Salt River valley exhibit at the Land and Irriga- tion exhibition in the Coliseum. This fruit was shipped on November 13. and went by express. It was from the Flemming grove. Though the fruit at the other groves was just as fine. nearly all of them were being irrigated at the time so that picking was in terfered with, The exhibit was sent by the orange association as a whole.
 There will be no Thanksgiving oranges in New York this year, unless Gothamites are willing to accept the product of Northern California. which is green and sour. Southern Califor- mia has not begun to ship yet. and will hardly have started by Christmas.
 By the first of the year all the Ari- zOna oranges will have been disposed of. The packing house closed last year January 4
 The orange association is over whelmed with orders for carloads of fruit The first car was to have gone to Denver but some other orders will probably be filled first. The price of Cactus brand is s4.25 box and Desert s4.5O. This is on carload orders sent {. c. b. What price the fruit will bring this year in the New York auction market remains to be seen. IL is the general opinion that oranges this year are little better in size and quality than last and all agreed that there will be more cars shipped by at least 20 per cent than last. There were fifty five car loads sent out last season. This was hardly more than half crop. Seventy-five cars are counted on for the present season.
 There are fifteen packers employed now and early in the week this force will be doubled. One of the new ad- ditioDs in tine mechanical devices used is an automatic weigher It consists of two twenty pound trips" The oranges are run on scale and as soon as the weight reaches twenty pounds lt registers the amount and dumps the fruit. In this manner the fruit brought in by each grower can be accurately taken care of and reg istered. The work of packing can pro- ceed without waiting for the bins to be checked up on their contents. After each wagon load is dumped on the chute and weighed the record is

 Somewhat apart from the business of i,;c,UIe framing is that af post cards Last spring the Big Curio stcre began selling high grade post cards at a penny a piece. an innovation in that business. Now another lot of spe- riaI Thanksgiving cards have becn re- ceive,l. embossed and handsome crea ti"ns They will be sold while they last al a penny piece though thei are worth I.ore.

An organized effort is being ma d
by the people of Aberdeen to divert
the travel Incidental to reservation
opening next year from the line of
the M. & St. L. railway to the Mil
waukee through their city, accord
ing to the CARLYLE Gazette. A large
fund has been raised and represent
atives' have been sent to Washington
to oppose LeBeau for the location
of the new land office to be created
by the present congress for the pur-
pose Of handling the Cheyenne res
ervation lands when opened for set
Element. The location of the land
office at Aberdeen would be injustice
to the people and the St. Louis in
particular. 1t would put an un-
necessary expense and hardship up
on the poorer class who would seek
homes. LeBeau is the natural gate
way to the reservation and the land
office should be located there.
