Top Working Fruit Trees.

Commercial Fruit Growing is
beginning to attract attention
from parties with more or less
capital from all parts of the coun-
trv. This is especially true in
Idaho where such a large range
of apple growing conditions are
present. Localities that are now
famous or destined TO become so
for their superior apples must
cpnfine themselves to the growing
of a few varieties which are espec-
ially V suited to local conditions.
Each fruit country then must go
through the necessary experim-
entail stage in order to determine
what varieties are best adapted
to the conditions. Each fruit
grower will have to solve the
problem in regard to disposing
of his undesirab BILE varie ties. Shall
they be removed or top worked
to better varieties?
In some parts of our state can
be found orchards various ages
which do not pay and it is seen
that something is wrong. The
causes which are responsible for
an Improbable orchard may be
stated as follows:
/. Unsuitable varieties.
2. Poor drainage.
3. Unfavorable site.
4. Poor soil.
5. Neglect.
6. Unfavorable climatic con-
ditions.
7. Old age.
The problem Of renovating an
orchard for changing the variety
is sometimes a large one and
often proves to be more or less
expensive. The first and most
important point to consider in
studying an orchard of this kind
is whether or not the trees are
worth saving. When the trees
are on wet land that cannot be
sufficiently drained they should
be removed instead of being top
worked. The fruit tree will not
be profitable with'excessive mois-
ture about the root system. If
the trees have been badly neglect
ed fer years and have gone to de-
cay more or less they they should
not be top-worked. When envir-
onmental conditions are favor.

MIGHT HAVE COME EARLIER
AdmIrer Of Musician Must Have Felt
Truth Of the Answer He
Received.

Signor Puccini. although celebrated
all over the world for his operas, is
still young man. On the subject OF
his early success the Italian composer
said recently in New York:
II have been very lucky. Recogni-
ton for artistic work comes so often
after one Is too old to enjoy It.
II remember one OF my country
men, a centenarian. who. had he died
before seventy, would never have seen
any OF his operas produced. Luckily
he lived to so great an age that he re-
ceived for many years the admiration
he deserved. Naturally enough,
though, this splendid artist regretted
his years of obscurity and neglect,
and he frequently spoke bitterly OF
his bad fortune.
once, at the very end OF his long
life, an Englishman entered his box
at the opera in Rome, and said re-
spectfully:
81 have travelled all the way from
London to see the author OF my ia
vorite opera
The veteran composer, with ma
icious smile, replied:

plenty OF time TO get here

pocketed the money. forgetting to ac-
count TO the owners for the sums they
brought. The dealers demanded resti-
tuition or a settlement and Underwood,
dreading exposure. had TO hustle
around TO raise enough money TO
make up the deficiency In order to
avoid prosecution. In this way he
lived from day TO day borrowing from
Peter TO settle with Paul, and on one
or two occasions he had not been
ashamed to borrow from Mrs. Jeffries
herself.
Alicia lent the money more because
she feared ridicule than from any real
desire to oblige Underwood. She had
long since become disgusted with him.
The mans real character was now
plainly revealed 10 her He was an
adventurer, little better than a COM
mon crook. She congratulated her
self on her narrow escape Suppose
she had married him-the horror OF
It! Yet the next instant she was
filled with CONSERVATION. She had
allowed him 10 become 30 intimate
him all at once. She realized that
with a man OF that character the In
evitable must come. There would be
a disgraceful scandal She would be
mixed up In II, her husbands eyes
would be opened TO her folly, 1t might
ruin her entire life. She must end II
now-once for all. She had already
"a nd
intimacy must cease. Now he must
stop his visits to her house and de-
sist from trapping her friends into his
many schemes. She had written him
that morning forbidding him to come
to the house this evening. She was
done with him forever.
These thoughts were responsible for
the frown on the beautiful Mrs. JET
fries bejeweled brow that particular
Saturday evening. Alicia gave a sigh
and was drawing on her long KID
gloves before the glass. when sudden
ly a maid entered and rendered her
mistress a note. Alicia knew the
handwriting only too well. She tore
the letter open and read:
Dear Mrs. Jeffries: I received your let
ter telling me that my presence at your
house tonight would be distasteful to
YOU AS you can imagine, II was a great
shock. Don't you understand the harm

clusion that there has been rupture.

gave the intrigue additional zest and
charm She did not lead Underwood
to believe that he could induce her to
forget her duty TO Mr.. Jeffries, but
she was foolish enough TO encourage
a dangerous intimacy. She thought
she was strong enough TO be able TO
call halt whenever she would be so
disposed, but as is often the case she
overestimated her powers. The in
timacy grew. Underwood became
bolder, claiming and obtaining special
privileges. He soon realized that he
had the upper hand and he traded on
It. Under her patronage he was In
vited everywhere. He practically lived
on her friends. He borrowed their
money and cheated them at cards.
His real character was soon known to
all. but no one dared expose him for
fear OF offending the influential Mrs.
Jeffrles. Realizing this. Underwood
continued his depredations until he
became a sort OF social highwayman.
