To the Editor: {
In regard to the mammoth lemon
recently exploited in the press |
desire to say that it Is just three
years ago this month that l had
three trees-one orange, one Won
der. lemons cross of grape fruit
and a lemon tree I grew from seed
of q common lemon. And it is
just three years ago this month
siuce someone here used his thumb
nail to ring the orange tree, which
he killed with a crop of fruit on it.
On the wonder-lemon tree he did
not get quite around and it partly
healed over.
| I took from this wonder-lemon
four buds and budded them on to
the common lemon, two of which
took and grew. And just three
years ago this month l got this
mammoth lemon. I cut away the
Seeding and let the wonder-lemon
buds grow and I think with the
strength of the lemon roots and
the previous crossing it lost all OF
the grapefruit strain and is now a
Minnesota lemon.
To grow it large I fed it judi
ciously on soapsuds and liquid
, guano, the result being a perfect
ponderous lemon. AS the origina
tree produced more grapefruit thar
lemon named it Minnesota, TO
it was budded to Seeding of
common lemon that grew from
seed that was planted in Minnesot

. . BY ERID . .

There are no reversible decisions
rendered at the Great Throne
but few are unduly anxious to
be hurriedly called to submit their
case to the Infallible Judge.
One may reasonably hope that
the year 1910 will add fewer casu-
alties, fakerisms and nnenviable
incidents than Father Time has
credited to the departed year, 1909.
The recent exposure of the tricks
of the Sugar Trust creates no
sweet taste in Uncle Sans mouth.
What sour deal the common peo-
pie occasionally receive in the

Looking forward occupies the
mental attention to such a degree
in some cases that opportunities
to better future prospects are over
looked. Deal with the problems
of today and by the time they are
properly attended to tomorrow will

recently ascertained that some
