Friday against Viola M. Thompson to
secure divorce on the ground of
cruelty. He alleges that for a year
past the defendant has pursued a
course OF conduct toward him that
has destroyed his peace of mind and
happiness, caused him so much suf.
ferlng as to greatly impair his health
and to entirely defeat the legitimate
purposes of marriage and render a
continuation thereof intolerable. He
recites that she frequently gave way
to paroxysims of rage without any
cause, has abused him and made false
accusations against him. c. J. Mar

YAKIMlNE AN APRICOT;
NOT A PEACH-PLUM CROSS

That the Yakimine, so-called, is
not a cross between a peach and a
plum, but really variety OF april
cot, will be surprising to many here,
but such is the assertion of Luther
Burbank, Of Santa Rosa, CAL, to
whom samples of the fruit had been
sent. This information comes out
in a letter from the Luther Burbank
Press to C. w. McCullagh, sales
manager of the Yakima Valley Fruit
Growers Association, acknowledge
ing the receipt of samples of the
fruit, from the ranch of J. E. Shan
non, of North Yakima.
The letter, in part, is as follows:
We have submitted the samples
to Mr.. Burbank, who states that it
is variety of apricot and shows no
trace of crossing either with the
plum or peach. We very much
wish that it were possible for you to
visit our experimental farms and
see our hundreds of crosses between
plums and apricots. Knowing that
you may be interested in the re-
suits of these crosses, I am forward
ing you table which shows how
some of the varieties take their char
acters from both parents. In some
cases, you will note, there is a
marked leaning toward the plum
and in others toward the apricot,
but in many varieties there is an
exact balance between the two. The
tree, foliage and fruit are approx
imately half way between the plum
and apricot, showing their parent
age very plainly.
The one point where the april
cot is particularly noteworthy is its
equisite flavor. Some apricots, as
you know, are inclined to be taste
less, but in the plumcot the flavor
is OF an exquisite, indescribable
quality, often partaking of both
parents, and sometimes even has a
pineapple or strawberry flavor.
Answering your inquiry as to
the commercial value of the 'Yaki-
mine,' Mr.. Burbank states that it
is valuable apricot; that it is a
very handsome fruit and no doubt
a good shipper

MUTINY FOLLOWS

New Warden Quickly Stops
Trouble In Prison.
DAMAGE REACHES 100000

Transferred to Another Prison.

Ossining. N. Y.-Following fire in
Sing Sing prison, the old structure in
which many New York state prisoners
are now confined, serious rioting and
mutiny occurred among the convicts
prior to the removal of the leaders of
the disturbances to Auburn prison, a
new state institution. The total dam
age caused by two fires. one Of which
beyond doubt was of incendiary origin,
amounts to 100000.
The trouble at the prison followed
close after the appointment of John N.
Clancy as warden to succeed EDWARD
en- Kennedy. who has been indicted
since his removal from Office. The
new warden, however, was quick to
act, and the trouble was soon quelled.

were confined in their cells for several
days and kept on a diet Of bread and

stated that he heard that the fire was
started out of pure devilishness" by
one Of the prisoners.
1t was learned that cocaine has come
into the prison in considerable quaint
ties in the sheets purchased for their
cots by the convicts. These sheets
are soaked in cocaine. and 80 are the
leaves Of books brought n to the
prisoners. The prisoners suck the
sheets or the leaves of the books to
get the drug. Since the fire, it was
said. much cocaine had come into the
prison in spite of the vigilance of the
warden and keepers. It was said that
this had been responsible for much Of
the trouble.
1t was learned also that the leaders
Of the disturbance were locked up in
the so called coolers" There are
ten OF these coolers, and they were
all full. They are outside Of the cell
block, on a level with the Hudson
river, and are dark, damp cells seven
feet long, six feet seven inches in
height and three feet three inches
wide. They have two doors, the first
Of wire and the outside one of wood.
In the doors there are two little holes
for ventilation, but they do not admit
any light. These coolers figured In
the presentments returned by the
grand jury last June, and in view of
this some surprise was expressed that
Warden Clancy had made use Of them.

STATE BULLETIN WARNS
AGAINST PEAR BLIGHT

A formal warning to the orchard
lists of the state, declaring the con-
tagious character of pear blight, is
being sent out from the offices of
the state horticultural commissioner.
The circular declares the blight
serious disease of pear, apple and
ounce trees, and deals with meth
DDS of prevention.
After treating of the symptoms,
methods of infection, necessity of
cooperation on the part of orchard
lists, etc., the circular advises con-
sultation with the district horticul-
tural inspector and recommends
methods of handling the disease.
1t says in part:
I'm handling bacterial disease
such as pear blight you are dealing
with a disease caused by organisms
many times too small to be seen
with the naked eye. Therefore, ex-
IRENE care must be observed in
every detail. Don't cut through a
diseased area. That infects your
cutting tool.
Don't be afraid to cut well be-
low the discoloration. Otherwise
it may be necessary to cut still fur
ther down. .
Don't put off the work until the
last. Wherever the disease exists
it is source of infection from which
insects may spread the disease rapid
ly.
Don't use tin can or metal
container for your disinfectant.
Don't use the old solution after
the shears have been allowed to stay
in it any length Of time. On the
other hand there are details which
should be followed carefully. Every
fruitgrower should avail himself of
the bulletins and pamphlets on this
subject to become more familiar
with the life history of the germ.
Ordinarily it is safe during the
growing months to cut twelve to
fifteen inches below the visible dis
coloration. During the dormant
season it is safe to cut even much
closer.
For disinfectant use corrosive
sublimate l to 1000 parts water, and
make up a solution only as needed
in glass bottle or glass jar, and
