TENNESSEE GETS THE FEVER.

The citizens of Tennessee are getting
the apple fever. The press is giving
the horticultural game boost. The
following recently appeared in the
Nashville Tennesseean
"Why should Oregon, Idaho, Wash
ington and Colorado send their boxed
apples into this State to be sold on the
fruit stands at fancy prices when
Tennessee can grow equally handsome
fruit2
Farmers of the Old Volunteer
State should grasp the opportunity
which awaits them in apple culture.
On the Cumberland Plateau and in "A
few localities near Nashville scientific
apple culture is being practced. After
years of experiene many veteran apple
growers have demonstrated ON a small
scale that apples yield bigger returns
than any other crop which can be
grown,
The Tennessean is correct so far as
its statements 60 But we might ask
How much of its crop will be equally
as handsome as the enormous Extra
Fancy" yield of the.Northwest?" We
will admit to the publication that the
state has a limited area of land adopted
to the growth of fruit, the poplar
land ridges Of middle Tennessee be-
ing the most favorable, However, the
grower of this district will have the
erratic elements of nature to contend
with and this will cut short his profits
many seasons. The advice of the
Tennesseean may lead to profit, but
the publication should admonish its
readers to be careful IN their selection
Of soil; for to scientifically bring an
orchard to bearing is very expensive,
ard the money is wasted if the soil in
which the trees are planted is not
adapted TO apples.

THE POOR BOY AT COLLEGE.


IL is interesting TO note in dispatch
from theUniyersity Of Oregon that
lack of money is no obstacle in the
way Of the young men of the state,
who desire higher education. In fact
some of the leaders in scholarship and
college activities at the State Uniyer-
sity are those young men who are
working their way through the instltu-
ton. Almost without an exception
such conditions may be found to pre-
vail at all the educational institutions
Of the United States. The young man
who is in earnest may apply that old
adage, where There's viii There s
Way, and make successful career
there as well as in the business world.
1t is siad by many Of the foremost
educators Of the country that a great
percentage Of the wealthy youths VINO
have a plentiful allowance attend
college under a disadvantage Es-
pecialIy is this so in the case OF those
who feel that they do not have to make
an effort toward securing positions
from which to make a living after the
collge work is over. They rest nnder
no responsibilities and 1t IS an easy
matter to fall into that easy going rut
of merely passing examinations ana
keeping on the safe side by halr ;
breadth. They do too little Of the real
work and see too much of the other
side of college life, the good-fellowship
Of social activities. This tendency o.
merely passing, one that may as easiy
be acquired in the high school as aiter
entering the higher institution oi
learning, is dangerous from the fact
that 1t may lead the individual to take
up the responsibilities OF making a
living with the same attitude OF nina.
Business men are seeking not the man
that merely does enough work to earn
his salary, but the man who does MS
utmost TO advance the interests OF his
employer, and it is such man that
merits and gets promotion.
College students are divided into
three classes, the grind, - tine
rounder" ard the man who strikes the
happv medium, and endeavors to Sc
cure an education not only from ms
books. but from the experience IN
meeting with and sizing mp hls asso-
ciates as well. Neither the rich nor
the poor youth will ever benefit by
giving-his time absolutely to his books;
for one of the great advantages OF
bringing young men together is the
opportunity-that it gives them of close
association and good fellowship. The
Young man who takes advantage OF
these opportunities is better able to-
cope with men of the business world
than the book worm.
Yet the tendency of allowing
pleasurADle pursuits w tiah" Pi"NN'
ally the whole Of his time is a danger
Gus tendency for college youth and
in many cases leads to vice and inn
morality. The men who reach the
highest marks, and it is rule that
may as we'll be applied in all lines of
business and professions as well as at
college, are those who have capacity
for much work and the faculty of
minging freely with their fellow men.
The college "rounder" is man who
develops a tendency Of shrinking work,
and the tendency is hard to break away
from, when he begins to buck the
business world.

INDIANA GROWERS
GIVE AWAY FRUIT

Some portions of the East and Middle
West have the most abundant fruit
crop for many years. In but few sec
tions is the fruit raised on a CONNER
cial basis. To the Trade Journal 1t Is
known as the product OF barnyard
orchards. In many sections so plenti-
ful is the local crop that II IS beng
given away to the poor people who VIII
pick it. The following is clipped from
an Indiana paper:
"A plan to put the enormous guam
titv Of apples in the country IN reach
of the people Of the city, especially the
poorer people, who are not able to buy
them. was thought out by wen
known local man, and for the use OF
both the farmers who arc swamped
with the great Indiana fruit, and the
people here, the Rushville Jacksonian
will try to put both classes IN reach oi
the other.
"The plan is for the farmers who
have apples going to waste.wlth no
hope of selling them or Of getting them
to market to give their name and ad-
dress to The j cksonian. which will be
published, and then if the people here
want 10 take advantage of it they may
do so. The offer to the people here rs
for Them 10 20 out and gather their
own apples and people who are able TO
buy them will not be welcome; only
those TO whom apples are treat.
This was brought about by the
local man taking trip over the
country and he noticed heaps of apples
in fence corners, under trees and scat
tered over the ground, going to waste,
and the farmers can not sell them ana
many feed them to the hogs. lie
asked perhaps half a dozen if they
would care to use such a plan, and
they at one jumped at it and said 1t
would save them lots Of trouble. Many
people in RushviIe do not have an
apple from one year to the next. even
when they are so plentiful that they
rot on che ground. and it is for these
people that the offer is made. "
However, this local supply interiors
but very little with the marketing OF
the apples from districts raising them
on commercial basis. The quality
is poor aud the apples soon decay. In
q letter received recently from a citizen
of the district mentioned in the clipp-
ing it was stated that the fruit was
spelling so fast that the house wives
found it necessary to can and preserve
their winter supply.
