SIZE
Tree Earns ss,2o5 in a Year,

What is probably the most valuable
tree in the world is an alligator pear
tree at Whittier, Cal, which netted its
owner a profit of $3,205 in one year
This tree was planted in 1905 and be-
gan bearing in its fourth year. In
1912 it bore 5000 pears, which sold
for $1,000, while the sale of buds dur
ing the same year amounted to $l,7O5,
making the total given above. The
tree is a seeding, the seed having
been planted with a quantity Of other
seed which had been imported, pre-
sumably from Mexico. Another tree
which was planted at the same time,
and which stands close to this phe.
nomenal bearer, has never borne more
than fifty pears in a season. This val
liable tree is now protected by high
fence built on an octagonal plan. The
pears weigh from eight to twelve
ounces each.

DESTRUCTION OF THE POPPY
ONLY Few Fields Left in Region In

Flourshed.

A letter from a missionary In HING

The writer says he has been in Hing
Hwa about three weeks, and that
the poppy is, to all intents and pur-
poses, completely destroyed.
Il have travelled through a part OF
the region where most Of the poppy
was grown, and where most of the
fighting was done. In all this region
| saw less than 100 stalks Of poppy,
these having been left scattered in
the fields from the otherwise com
plete destruction of the crop" The
writer continues: Some Of our lead

grown, and report the same thing
In out-of-the-way places they have

ceale,d by others near it, even the Wis
itor who has knowledge of its exist
ence is apt to give up the search in
despair, though he may be within
short distance Of it. The tree at pres
ent is entirely denuded of its leaves
except in tho upper branches, while
the trunk and lower branches are al
most concealed by the mass of rags
that are nailed to 1t and there left to
rot in wind and weather. Patients may
be seen pressing their faces on these
or rubbing the afflicted parts against
them, as they mutter prayers and gaze
earnestly up among the branches,
where they believe the saints spirit
resides. The upper branches are
plentifully decked with little pennonf
or eolored flags, which give it quite a
