TWO WAYS OF RAISING FRUIT

The ways of the American apple
grower in past years have been in sing
ular contrast to the care used in
orange and lemon cultivation. The
orange grower has always understood
that he must cultivate and fertilize
his orchard, and to prevent bruising
must handle his fruit as If it were eg1f
The need for equally scientific me-
thOds in the raising of apples was
the dominant theme at the 10th con-
vention of apple shippers, just held
in Cleveland O. Today you find an
intelligent minority of farmers who
treat their apple orchards as if it
was real crop. They give tho land
its proper food. They also handle thei
FRUIT on padded bins and tables, and
pack it in tissue. Most of the older
farmers would as soon think of taking
these precautions with stove wood.
Science counts. Three times as many
oranges were raised in the United
States in 1909 as in 1899 During tho
same period the apple product fell off
Is per cent.
The average farmer has regarded
his apple orchard as merely a wild
crop, something like hucklebcrries or
timber. A thick growth Of grass and

Happily the methods of spraying,
cultivation, and packing which the
apple shippers urged throughout their
Cleveland meeting are coming into
more general use. AS the apple is

WHY GIRLS LEAVE SCHOOL

Probably the treatises on sociology
which one studies in college would
say it was because their parents want
ed the money the child could earn.
But are Father and Mother smart
enough to get possession of any
large part Of the daughters pay en-
velope?
The United States government re-
Gently issued a pamphlet dealing with
this subject According to this study,
the desire of parents for the earn
ings did not figure as the cause so
much as the fact that the girls are
tired of school.
Pocket money is quite as attractive
to the girl as to the boy. The latter
enjoys being able to take his girl
friends on automobile rides. and lin
ing them up against the soda fountain.
Similarly to the young girl pocket
money is the raw material of clothes
