ABOUT HIRED GIRLS.

We know bright young girl who,

study at a teachers training school.

showed a most commendable indie

that girls and women as a class frown
down upon those who receive remu-

there is little question that dirty, I'M

HORTICULTURE IN CENTRAL
STATES

The other day we received a letter
from young man, former Iowa boy.
who, In the course of making several
inquiries as to climatic conditions,
prices of land, etc., In Washington and
Oregon. asked the very direct question
whether we thought the outlook for
horticulture In Iowa and other central
and eastern states N. G. (no good. He
further asked whether IL the same
pains were taken IN the care of the
orchards and in the spraying and mar
western orchard districts consider
able measure of success could not be
had. The answer we made to his
queries may be of interest to some
others who may be thinking Of taking
up horticulture as an occupation.
There is little question that there are
sections In western states which from
the standpoint of climate are especial
ly well suited to fruit raising. This
has reference not only to long grow
ing season. but mild winters. dryness
of atmosphere. abundant sunshine and
in most sections water at hand, which
can be turned on to plant, vine or tree
at Just the time when moisture Is
needed. But Of almost equal impor-
lance with the favorable conditions
mentioned are that organization of and
cooperation among fruit growers
which result In systematic efforts In
the fighting of insect pests. the uni
form packing Of fruit Of finest quail
ity and lastly. but just as important,
the marketing Of the produce raised
In such manner as will secure a re-
munerative return for pains and labor
expended.
Climatic conditions In central and
eastern states cannot be changed. but
wonders can be accomplished through
the adoption of rational and up to date
methods In orchard care, painstaking
methods In harvesting, packing and
marketing the fruit With the west
erner fruit growing is the business Of
first Importance. and the central and
eastern state resident must assume
the same attitude If he would achieve
q comparable success. In the matter
Of nearness to consuming markets he
has the distinct advantage of lower
transportation rates. and this should
serve to offset in a measure the west
erner's advantage In point Of climate.
Western orchard methods are being
adopted here and there farther east
with signal success. Others may Sc
cure like success. provided they ex-
ercise the same perseverance and In
telligence.

condition seems to set the sap. more
or less seriously interfering with Its
circulation. at times killing the tree
outright or greatly impairing Its vital
ity. The fact that this sort Of dam
age is usually most noticeable on the
southwest side of the trunk would
seem to point to the fact that 1t is ag-
gravated by an exposure to the direct
rays of the sun. This may be over
come to some extent by whitewashing
the trunks prior to the changeable and
trying temperatures of winter and
spring. or even more effectively by
shading the side of the trees exposed
to the sun with thin board, veneer COW
ers or other wrappers. Especially
should trees which have already sui.

the intense rays Of the sun during the

age by the latter being on some
