into the country, and has been directed by
great and growing body of research men and
women into those regions where 1t was
thought they might make their homes.
In the brief space Of short article, and to
avoid what would be almost bare enumera-
ton of plant names, l prefer to treat only of
a few Of the many important problems with
which the office is working, passing by, also,
the introduction of the Durum wheat, the
Japanese rice, and giving the Siberian alfalfas,
which are earning for the farmers of the coun-
try many millions of dollars a year, bare
mention, for the reason that they have been
so often described in the newspapers of the
country.
The mango is one of the really great fruits
of the world. India, with it's hundreds of mil
lions of people, has for centuries held 1t
sacred and celebrates annual ceremonies in
It's honor. The great Mogul Akbar, who
reigned in the 18th century, planted the ia
nous LAX Bag an orchard of hundred thou
sand mangoes, and some of these still remain
alive II is u fruit the Importance of which
Americans at last beginning to recognize.
Notwithstanding the unfortunate discredit
which the worthless Seeding mangos of the
West Indies have given 1t in the minds Of
Americans generally.
There are probably more varieties of
goe than there are of peaches l have heard
dia There are exquistely favored varieties
no larger than plum, and there are delicious
sorts the fruits of which are six pounds in
weight In India, where the wage of a coolie
is not 10 cents day there are varieties
which sell for $3.50 a hundred, and the COM
monest sorts bring over a cent apiece.
The great mango trees of India are said to
reach a height of 20 feet, and are so loaded
down with fruit that over $3.50 worth has been
sold from a single tree
These fine varieties practically as free from
fiber freestone peach can be eaten with
a spoon as easily a cantaloupe. Train
loads of these are shipped from the mango
growing centers of India and distributed in the
densely peopled cities of that great semi-trop-
zeal empire; and yet, Notwithstanding the
great Importance OF this fruit, the agricultural
study of 1t from the new standpoint has
scarcely been begun. l believe that 1t has
never, for example, been tested on any but It's
own roots.
We have gathered together in Florida and
Porto Rico and Hawaii more than hundred
varieties, and some which we have fruited
have already attracted the attention of the
fancy fruitdealcrs, who agree that the demand
for these will increase as fast as the supply
can be created, and maintain that extravagant
prices. such as so or even rs cents apiece.
will be paid for the large snowy, delicious
fruits. Last year 800 dozen Mulgoba mangos
were sold in Florida for So dozen. The Gov
ernor of Porto Rico has committed himself to
a policy which, if carried out will cover the
island with hundreds of thousands of mango
trees of the better varieties

One of the Oldest cultivated plants in the
world is the date palm. At least 1900 years
ago it was growing the banks of the Eu-
pirates, and it is this plant and the camel that
together made it possible for the Arabs to
populate the great deserts of northern Africa
and Asia. The date palms would grow where
the water was alkaline, and the camels were
able to make long journeys across the desert
to take the dates to the coast to market and
sell them for wheat and olives.
In these deserts of the old world millions Of
Arabs live on dates for the date palm can be
cultivated on land so salty to prevent the
culture Of any other paying crop, and it will
live in the. hottest regions the face Of the
globe; not even temperature of 125 degrees
F. will affect it. This obliging plant does not,
however, insist on such temperatures, but will
stand some frost, and has been known to live
where the mercury falls to II degrees r.
1t is also the only wood obtainable IN the
GASES Of the Sahara, and the shores of
Arabia boats made Of 1t.
The date palm has both male and female
flowers and they occur on separate plants, and
the Arabs have to plant one male for every
plantation of a hundred females making
harem it were. The artificial pollination or
fertilization Of the female palms is ore of the
most interesting processes practical with
plants spray of flowers from male palm
being bound with bit of palm-leaf fiber in
each iEforescence OF the female tree. Propa-
cation of the date palm be accomplished
by means of Seeds or suckers which are
thrown up at the base of the palm. Suckers
will start, however, on land so salty that the
seeds refuse to grow it.
Four years from seed, trees of soEIe varie-
ties begin to bear and Ia six years Will have
paying crops of dates. They live to much
greater age than almost any other Of the fruit
trees, and specimens century old ara said to
be still good investment
The date is not dryland crop, but requires
irrigation to grow and produce fruit. planta-
ton once established requires to be kept free
of weeds to be pollinated when the palms
come into bloom, ard to have the fruit har-

%, 1862, by the late Capt. William
Van Gundy of the Ninety-fourth liz
nois regiment, which was concerneu
in the Arkansas-Miss campaign OIL
that season. The letter is now IN the
possession of Captain Van Gundys
grandson, A. l.. Benedict of FranKnn
Park, Ill. 1t is, in part, as follows:
Wilson'S creek, Mo-, Nov. "a, 1862.
Il wrote you two letters since We
left Springfield, in which ! gave you
an account of our march up to the
twenty-irst, when we were camped on
the James river. We left there the
next morning and travelled about
mile west, when we were halted ana
two companies were detailed to build
a bridge across the river. This was
done by piling up rails in the water
for pillars about fifteen feet apart;
then logs were laid from one pile to
the other for stills; then rails were
laid across on the logs for floor to
walk on. The bridge was about 100
feet long 1t took about one and one
half hours to build it. We crossed
over with dry feet, but we did not stop
to put the rails back on the fence
again.
After we had crossed the river we
kept bearing to the north until we
struck the main road from Springfield
to Cassville. Then we came about a
mile toward Springfield to Wilson
creek, where we camped and we are
still here. Herron's whole division Is
camped here, about 10000 men. Tot
tens division is about ten miles south.
We are about one and one-half miles
south of the battle ground.
Yesterday was beautiful Sabbath
day, and Henry, Ad. Branaman. Clip.
Watkins and John Furr and myself
went over to see the battle ground.
We followed the road until we came
to a large frame house, where they
told us Price had his cannon planted
in front and about fifteen feet from
the house. 1t was here that Sigel took

We know too little as yet, though
the prospective planter should
count this in his estimate of ex.
pense; remembering, however.
that modern scientific methods
have overcome the greatest fruit
pests, and that these on the palm
are not different in general char
acter from those which are now
under complete control.
Very little pruning Of the palms
is necessary, and the harvesting is
very simple, since the dates grow
in great punches, which often
weigh from 20 to 40 pounds apiece.
There are over hundred varie-
ties Of dates now growing in the
government gardens in California
and Arizona, from which are being
distributed to prospective planters
