ADVERTISEMENTS.
Benefiting New England Business
THE WASTE

1t is estimated that 80 per cent of the goods
retailers shelves advertised goods and 70 per
cent unadvertised. The 30 per cent advertised
goods have the impetus of the manufacturers pub
licity behind them. The merchant who pushes
these goods is adding to momentum already
sting-hence quick and easy action.
The merchant who is pushing the 70 per cent of
unadvertised goods because of higher margin of
profit is trying to overcome the inertia of a body
at rest difficult task than adding to velocity
already started. Here is economic waste.
Some consumers have not yet thoroughly alb
sorbed the truth-that as a whole advertised goods
are the best on the market. Here is another
economic waste.
AS retailers learn that the momentum already
gained by articles advertised is force which they
can use and add to-and consumers realize that
advertising is honest and beievable, the economic
waste disappears. The elimination of waste'energy
in distribution means economy both for him who
sells and him who buys. In other words, the
growth of advertising better goods at
cheaper prices

The Very Best Make.

In the course OF an after-dinner
speech in praise of woman, Samuel
Untermeyer, the New York lawyer,
said In Pittsburg:
"A commercial traveller remarked
the other day to a storekeeper:
MAKE yourself Christmas pres
.ent of a cash register. 1t will keep
strict and accurate account of all you
receive and all you disburse. 1t will
show what you save and what you
squander, what you spend foolishly
and what you spend wisely, where
you should spread out and where you
should retrench. what you waste and
how you waste it
"'But,' said the storekeeper, I've
already got cash register which does
all that and more
"'Whose make is it?' asked the
salesman, frowning.
Goods make the storekeeper re-
piled; and with smile at once rev.
erent and grateful he nodded toward
his handsome wife seated In the cash
ler's cage"

one OF the Oldest cultivated plants in the
world 1s the date palm. At least 1000 years
ago 1t was growing on the banks of the Eu-
pirates, and it is this plant and the camel that
together made 1t 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
10 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 as to prevent the
culture of any other paying crop, and it will
I'VE In the hottest regions on the face Of the
globe; not even a temperature of 1925 degrees
F. will affect it. This obliging plant does not,
however, insist such temperatures, but will
stand some FROST and has been known to live
where the mercury falls to IL degrees F.
1t Is also the only wood obtainable in the
GASES OF the Sahara, and on the shores Of
Arabia boats are made Of It,
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 hundred females, making
harem as 1t were. The artificial pollinaton or
fertilization Of the female palms is one of the
most interesting processes practioed with
plants, spray of flowers from a male palm
being bound with bit Of palm-leaf fiber in
each inhorescence Of the female tree. Propa-
cation of the date palm can be accomplished
by means of seeds, or suckers, which are
thrown up at the base of the palm. Suckers
will start, however, on land salty that the
seeds refuse to grow on it.
Four years from seed, trees of some varie-
ties begin to bear and in six years will have
paying crops of dates. They live to a much
greater age than almost any other of the fruit
trees and specimens century old are said to
be still good investment
The date is not dryland crop, but requires
irrigation to grow and produce fruit. A planta-
ton once established requires to be kept free
of weeds, to be pollnated when the palms
come into bloom, and to have the fruit har-

great and growing body Of research men and
women into those regions where it was
thought they might make their homes.

which are earning for the farmers of the coun-
try many millions of dollars a year, a bare
mention, for the reason that they have been
SO often described in the newspapers of the
country.
The mango is of the really great fruits
of the world India, with its hundreds of mil
lions of people, has for centuries held it
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. 1t Is fruit the Importance of which
Americans are at last beginning to recognize,
notwithstanding the unfortunate discredit
which the worthless Seeding mangos Of the
West Indies have given it in the minds of
Americans generally.
There are probably more varieties of man
goe than there are Of peaches. I have heard
of one collection CT 500 different sorts in In
dia. There are exquisitely 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 coolie
is not over 10 cents day, there are varieties
which sell for $3.50 hundred, and the COM
monest sorts bring over cent apiece.
The great mango trees of India are said to
reach a height Of 70 feet, and are so loaded
down with fruit that over $3.50 worth has been
sold from single tree.
These fine varieties, practically as free from
fiber as freestone peach, can be eaten with
spoon as easily as 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-
ical empire; and yet, Notwithstanding the
great Importance of this fruit the agricultural
study of it from the new standpoint has
scarcely been begun 1 believe that it has
never, for example, been tested on any but its
own roots.
We have gathered together in Florida and
Porto Rico and Hawaii more than a hundred
varieties, and some which we have fruited
have already attracted the attention of the
fancy fruit-dealers, who agree that the demand
for these will increase as fast as the supply
be created, and maintain that extravagant
prices, such as so or even Is 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.
