indignant lady was Miss Eva Clad Of

plumes were shipped, she would APP
peal to France Germany or Italy, in
any one Of which she could claim
residence
The inspector said in terrifying
basso that he did not fear any inter

OF INTEREST TO FRUIT GROW
ERS.

State orchard demonstrator w. H.
Bullock is just now warning fruit
growers of the importance of spray
ing and caring for the orchard. The
following will be of help to fruit
growers and will be of interest to
them to know of other methods of
growing perfect fruit which our
markets are demanding and which
demand is increasing every day:
Two years ago G. w. Butterworth,
of Philadelphia, inaugurated as a
new branch of our business a scienti-
fic marketing service for growers of
good apples. The business is growing
rapidly because we are building it
on firm foundation of conscientious
service and good net results. 1t has
stood the test of the last two un-
favorable seasons during which we
have not failed to make good in a
single instance where the fruit was
packed according to our planted in
structions. The growers who have
stored with us the past two years
have obtained more money for their
fruit than they could have sold it for
in the fall and have received. a kind
of service that they have never re-
ceived anywhere before and they ap-
preciate it and are helping us build
the business.

INDIAN TRIBES GROWING.
Mixed Blood Apparently Responsible
For Increase In Numbers.

NcHlbGios
Indian statistics, just made public by
the census bureau, show that the red
men are not decreasing in number, but
the halfbreeds are responsible for the
growth in the Indian population. They
have larger and more vigorous families
than the pure bloods, and the statisti-
clans conclude that the pure bloods are
destined to disappear.
The total Indian population of the
United States In 1910 was given as
265, ,6S3 and Of Alaska as 25,331. More
than one-haif are full bloods, 35 per
cent are of mixed blood, and for per
cent information was not obtainable.
Thera.is little intermingfng of Indian
and negro blood, more than nine-tenths
Of the half caste being Of white parent
age. Only 2,255 were Of mixed negro
blood, and only 1,793 had all three
strains.
Oklahoma has the largest Indian pop.
ulation of any state and also the lar
gest percentage of mixed bloods. There
are many "squaw men, in the state
who have married Indian women to be
enrolled as sharers in the tribal es-
tates. Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and
Colorado show more than S5 per cent
of full bioods, and Iowa and Missis-
sippi have a large percentage of pure
bloods In the Fox and Choctaw tribes.
In the whole country there are $50 In
dPsn tribes, speaking fifty-six Ian
