is here, however, wlth proper tertlizaton and care, that growers are developing orange and grapefruit groves
 These lands will produce the trees, If food to support them is supplied in the shape of fer tilizer and the trees will bear citrus fruit of the very best Quality-bright colored, weighty, full of juice inclosed in smooth, thin rind. No fair minded person longer doubt that they will do so after seeing fruit of the quality which growers located at Taco Taco exhibited at the latest horticultural show in Havana. These gen tlemen had, however the money to keep their trees properly uourished Many others who have failed to succeed as they are succeeding owe that failure to the fact that they did not have the money to do much for thelr groves.
 Some land companies doing business in west ern Cuba deny oHertly or by implication that fer tilizaton is necessary, but no prospective owner of a citrus-fruit grove in western Cuba afford not to include in his estimate of expenses the cost of fertilizing early and often in amounts properly augmented as years pass, Fertilizers in general use in the groves of the region mentioned cost, on fair average about $l5 a ton
 This is thq situation in the Isle of Pines. as we'll in the western and central mainland of Cuba. The soils are all poor in plant food com pared with the average soils in the United States and the gravel ridges are especially so" states Mir. H. C. Henricksen secretary of the Cuban National Horticultural society. referring particu- larly 10 the Isle of Pines but have never seen the effect of good fertilizers sharply outlined as III these very soils, and rom experience in Florida and Porto Rico I would predict an abun- dant crop of fruit of superior quality wherever the groves are properly treated"
 The vital question in these regions is then. whether the owner Is able to afford proper treat ment He will. save in exceptional cases where the soil is too American" for any use whatso- ever get his crop provided he kas the money to supply enough fertilizer
 For there are richer lands in Cuba than those on which Americans and Canadians are develop ing their groves in western Cuba and the Isle of Pines
 Along the Cauto river to mention but one locality. there are exceedingly deep, fertile vir gin soils which need no fertilizer to produce cit rus fruit groves. Such lands must at the very commencement be cleared at some expense of the thick woods that cover them and groves once planted, must at all costs be kept fairly free of weeds. Secondary crops-corn. for instance may be grown between rows without detriment to the trees; in fact, 1t would seem wiser to do

A simple way of preventing the burning of food is to keep a bowl of water in the oven. Change the water daily.
 Saueepans should be thoroughly dried before they are put away after being used Water left in them causes rust, which gradually eats through the metal.

Easter Comes Early

According to the good old fash
Toned almanac for 1910, which
went on duty Saturday, about the
usual styles OF weather will pre-
vail during the next ~ months.
There will be more souther.y
winds in the summer time than in
the winter and the violets will
probably bloom in the spring. A
number of good alleged jokes are
to be found in the volume as per
custom, also the exact date OF a
number OF important events.
Easter Sunday comes early,
March 81. This is earlier than
any time since 1894, when it came
on March rs. The date is fixed
by the vernal equinox. Easter
Sunday is always the first Sunday
after the first full moon after the
sun crosses the line. Last year
it was April IL and two years ago
it was April 10. Weather pro-
phets claim that an early Easter
means an early spring. There
will be four eclipses this year, two
OF the SUI and two of the moon.
The SUMS eclipse will not be Wis
IDLE here. One will arrive May %
and the other on Nov. 16. Deco
ration Day and the Fourth Of July
both come on Monday and Christ
mas comes on Sunday.-Ex.
