in Starting It.

Dodge City, Kan. Sept. 29.-The
Santa Fe railroad and the school board
of Dodge City have mbined to give
the Mexican children of the town a

shows there are thirty-five Mexican
children here, few of whom attend
school. They do not like to go to
school with white children. The

building if the board of education
would provide a teacher, and the offer
was accepted.

house out of the old freight house
which is being torn down. The board
will secure a teacher who can talk
both English and Spanish, bringing

PEAR CROP FAILS BUT
GROWERS STILL MAKE
SOME MONEY

While the pear crop of the peninsula
IS practically a failure, the growers who
have pears viii evidently realize the usual
advanced shOrt-Gop prices. Jehu Reed,
of Frederica. has already sold his pears,
through and through, mostly Keiffers,
Tor ffty-two cents the bushel and no
/ packages required. This IS an unusually
I good price.
! PROFESSIONALLY the neglect Of the pear
! orchards Of the entire peninsula, from the
I twelve-ulile circle that keeps the north
ern boundary of Delaware about six miles
above Wilmington, and which is an IN
commonly good pear country, all the way
down 70 AccouIac cOunty's Keiffers, has
cost our folks many thousands of dol
lars. Pears are very staple fruit, both as
money makers and as perennial growers,
for the late James 7. Shallcross used to
remind Farmers Institutes all over the
State and the Peninsula HOrticulturists,
when he was their president, that:
He who plants pears
Plants for his heirs"
PEARS PROFITABLE.
With anything like reasonable atten-
ton. the pears are hardy growers, they 4
keep longer out Of storage than apples 4
and they carry a hundred times farther
than peaches. By the blanket or even
the straw storage system known to a few
pear growers, they can be kept and mel
lowed without a piece of ice, and possibly
with the exception Of Bartletts, they need
not be picked this week if the grower is
busy, nor next week for that matter.
