IT'S UP TO YOU.
To the Berry and Fruit Growers
Of Audrain County.


r berry plants or half dozen frui
!. trees of any kind, this commun:
cation is addressed to you. w,
, beg you to read it carefully and
come and help us in this work
which we know is for your good
and for ours.
The executive committee of the
Hort. and Bee Keepers Associa-
ton of Audrain county have ar
ranged an excellent program for
the meeting, Feb. IA, 1910, in the
hall over Griffee & Martins shoe
store, Mexico, Mo, beginning at
10 O'clOck a. m, both a forenoon
and afternoon session.
The object of this meeting is to
get all the fruit growers in the
county together and tell each
other their experiences in growing
their trees, their methods of hand
ling and disposing Of their crops
and telling of their successes and
their failures. By doing this we
will learn from each other the best
methods for growing and better
methods for selling our crops.
The time is coming when we
will have full crop of apples in
our county and when we do our
home markets will use perhaps
one-fOurth of them. Now what
shall we do with the other 3 IA. |
find a market, let them rot or take |
what some magnanim0us sales
man may offer? Now, to Illus
trate: About three years ago
when Missouri had a good apple
crop, a man from some town in
Nebraska went down into South
west Missouri on a visit and found
the orchards loaded with apples
and that he could buy all that he
wanted at 25c per bushel. He
wired back nome 20 a friend and
asked him how many apples he
could sell at $1.O0 per bushel. He
answered, "Send me a car load
And this was repeated until they
had handled seven car loads. Now
the grower, after growing, pick
ing, hauling and loading in a car
got Poe per bushel and the buyer
got Toe, which, after paying
freight and all other expenses.
would doubtless leave him SOC net
profit. Well, is this right? No. ,
Was the buyer to blame9
certainly not, for he gave them all
hey asked. Well, then, who was
o blame? The grower, for being
lnorganized and in ignorance as
o market. 1t is through organi-
alton that yOu are able to esti-
nate the crop and induce buyers
o come into your locality, or find
market that will pay to ship to.
'or united we stand, divided welc
AXE Zoe per bushel or anything
lSe you are offered. This is one /
1 many reasons why we should a

As 1t Went Down Hot Stove Over
turned and Inmates, Team
And All Burned to Crisp.
CAN OF GASOLINE EXPLODED.
Ranchcr Who Witnessed All From
Opposite Side of Canyon Found
Remains of Mother and Child.

Dalhart, Tex, Jan. 2S.-Plunging 100
and then burned to crisp amid the
debris OF a wagon was the fate Of Mrs.
:. r. Break, widow. and her 1-year-
old child near the little plains town OF
Floydada yesterday.
Mrs Break was moving across the
country In wagon loaded with her
household goods, and not being an ex-
pert driver. she let the team get too
close to the brink of the canyon. At
this moment her dog ran yelping round
the wagon and frightened the horses.
In refining them up too quickly the
woman caused the frightened horses to
rear and back the heavy wagon over
the precipice. AS the wagon, with its
helpless passengers, plunged backward
over the abyss, q hot stove was over
turned and before the struggling human
beings and horses could eXtricate them
selves from the wreckage the whole
mass was infiamed at the bottom of the
canyon.
To add to the futllity Of the woman's 3
struggle for life large can of gasoline
in the wagon exploded and fastened
the destruction by flames.
All OF this heartrending tragedy had
been witnessed by a ranchman. who
was on the other side of the canyon,
and although he hurried to the scene.
it was hours before he could reach the
victims, as he had to go miles to find
trail leading into the canyon. Then
he found the charred remains of tho
mother and child, the latter clasped to
the mothers breast. The woman's arms
evidently had been broken in several
places.

its tail. which was first reported in

The announcements say:
"The splitting in the tails of the COM
cts has been noticed before. but the
causes OF the phenomenon are not def
nitely known. II may be due to cleo
trical disturbances.
The discovery OF sodium in the COM

the presence OF sodium may account for

itor Usually comets are composed of
hydrocarbons.
