water they must have oxygen, which
is always found in fresh water. 1t
is a lack of this element that causes
the death of fish in many a shallow

AS result Of experiments which
have been carried ON for the past sew
en- years by the federal department of
agriculture along the line of acclimatiz-
ing and breeding Egyptian cotton from
imported seed of the variety known as
Nit Aft two or three types have been
developed which give much promise,
possessing as much individuality of
plant, boil and fiber as newer varieties
which have been developed in the
Egyptian plant breeding experiments.
The experimental work which has been
carried on has been the result of a de-
sire to produce in this country this
high grade type of Egyptian cotton,
1851 1893 pounds of which were i'm
ported during 1909 at cost of S12,-
,101 900 and which is used solely in the
manufacture of the finest goods espe-
cially mercerized and part silk stuffs
in which finish and luster are desired.
Samples of the acclimatized Egyptian
fiber grown last year in the southwest
have been pronounced by American
spinners to be in every respect equal
to the Egyptian grown article of cor
responding grades. The details of these
experiments are given IL bulletin 200.

There have been frequent references
in horticultural literature during the
past two or three years about ever
bearing strawberries, but nothing that
seemed to give much promise that they
would amount to anything However,
the recent experience of a Pulaski On.
V grower with the new variety seems
to indicate that it is something more
than curiosity. He got three pickings
of berries after Aug Is last. which
averaged more than 600 quarts to the
acre and brought him 25 cents per
quart The fall or ever bearing straw
berry. as it is known, differs from the
common varieties in the. one respect
that it blossoms continuously from
June until November. One crop is
matured at the usual time in June.
and the second crop may be secured
by pinching off all blossoms about
ghree weeks before it is desired to
have the fruit ripen, when all of the
strength of the vines is diverted to the
half grown fruit. Those who have
tasted the fall matured fruit state that
It has fully as fine flavor as the June
product.

Another five years Calumet avenue be

tinuous line of business houses. While
this looks good why not make the i'm
provement complete by putting in a
good brick pavement. the whole length
of the street thereby give Hammond
one more north and south connecting
link. Also to modernize this further
improvement of this locality by build
ing the sewer IN the alley instead of
using the street which in Ease of ut

pavement has to be torn up and is
never replaced in good condition. The
class of street usually determines the
