Although Florida contains the oldest SOL

n large part of the State Is as virgin-like In

the "turpcntiners'' ON the vellow-pine trees.
Only three years ago these same primitive
conditions prevailed here ut Lynn Haven.
But there has been n great change within
that period. Trees have been cut down.

and other trees planted, and the Wilderness
converted into a city Of approximately three

GETTING FRUIT READY FOR DIS
PLAY AT FAIRS.

r RUIT SHOULD be exhibited at
fairs strictly by classes, was the
reply of Professor C. 1. Lewis as
to how best prepare the fruit for show.
All plates of Spitzenbergs, Yellow New
towns and all other varieties entered
for premium should be grouped to-
gether in one part of the show. Ex
hbitors should be careful to secure
copies of the regulations under which
the fruit they enter will be displayed,
and then as carefully follow them.
The aim of the fair as well as that
of the exhibitor should be quality, and
not quantity. A small fair of high
class produce well arranged is more
ereditable and has more educational
value than a much larger far of poor
ly arranged mediocre exhibits 1t will
also arouse more community pride and
inspire more effort to excel.
Apples and pears should be exhibit
ed in plates of five-no more and no
less. 1t would be well to take more
han five to the fair so that in case
one of the exhibition specimens is
damaged it can readily be replaced. OF
peaches and plums more than five
specimens are allowed, but not more
than twelve should be put into one ex-
hibt.
In choosing the fruit bear in mind
uniformity, free from blemish, size and
color Don't pick the biggest fruit on
the tree. 1t is very likely to have
skin imperfeetion and poor color, and
to be not of the best market value.
Five specimens of uniform type will
have a higher rating than four medi-
UNI specimens with one abnormally
large or small. Get fruit as nearly
typical in color as possible. If it is a
red apple, get them all red, not part
yellow or green. Then reject all speei-
mems that show scab, insect damage,
skin puneture, or any other blemish.
81 have had to throw out hundreds of
plates of apples because they had some
of the blemishes, since our rules for
Judging say that such specimens must

shows the probable fate of apples that
are entered with these blemishes.

OPPORTUNITIES FOE WOMEN

RE OF ONLY does the School of Home
Nv Economics of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College offer opportunities
for the young women of Oregon, but
in almost every department in the in
stitution something will be found Of
interest to women. The School of Com
merce gives splendid training in stenog-
raphy and typewrting, in bookkeeping
and business methods, including ac-
counting and office methods, and every
year many young women are found pur-
suing this line of study.
The department of Industrial Peda-
gogy training teachers especially for
supervising and teaching the industrial
subjects now rapidly taking their
places in the public schools, offers at.
tractive and thoroughly efficient work
for students who are ambitious to help
in the leadership of industrial eduea
tion throughout the Pacific Northwest
The call of outdoor life is being in
creasingly felt by women, and as a
consequence the various courses in the
School of Agriculture especially Ger.
tain phases of horticulture, poultry
husbandry, and dairying are attracting
women who are broad-minded and pro.
gressive. Pharmacy, requiring, as it
does, neatness and accuracy, is espe-
cially suitable for women, and many
have found that this course, Immediate
ly following its completion, leads to de-
sirable positions. A fine feeling Of
fellowship exists between all the girls
in college, regardless of the course in
which they are enrolled, and all are
alike interested in student activities.
The Oregon Agricultural College, in
short, is coeducational in the largest
sense of the word. Women on the
faculty and women as students find
here no limitations upon the largest
exercise of their talents and their in
dividuality.

COLLEGE COURSES OPEN BOTH 10
MEN AND WOMEN.

~ INCE the value of knowledge and
- training does not end with youth,
courses for maturer men and
women have been provided by the Agri-
cultural College for the citizens of
Oregon. These courses will prove OF
the greatest value in preparing the stu
dents for the exercises of their high
est possibilities of life, by providing
the special knowledge and technical
skill required in their chosen vocations.
Farmers who feel the need of more
dependence on science and less on luck
in their various lines Of agriculture, as
well as more skill in performing the
many varied duties of farm life, may
enter the vocational course in agrieul-
ture and in one year secure the required
preparation. The housewife who feels
the need of more advanced and mod
ern methods of home-making, and more
ability in expending the family income
in such manner as to provide better
supplies for less money, may secure
instruction anu lIdlHlHS III thOoO NS'Sh
tials of good home-making in the one
wear course in Home Making. And in
like manner the dairyman may spe-
cialize in selection and care of the
dairy herd, in creamery methods or in
the handling and marketing Of dairy
products. Each of these is a One-year
course.
A course in forestry is provided for
practical foresters and lumbermen. The
work of this course is adapted to the
needs of those who care for the inter
ests of forests and forest products in
the Pacific Northwest, and is COM
pleted in five and half months.
The course in business methods on
the farm and in the shop and store
offers several lines of work, giving stu
dents an opportunity to elect such spe-
cialties as best suit their individual
needs. The courses are simplified to
meet the demands of successful and
practical men and women, and yet it is
so thorough that two years are re-
duired for its completion.
The course in mechanic arts is the
most extensive of all the vocational
courses and requires three years for its
completion. Students are given an op-

a group of specialists from the Agri-

and demonstration by J. E. Larson in
agronomy, Ralph Reynolds in animal
husbandry and A. L. Lovett in insect
crop pests. More than 900 farmers at
tended one or more sessions of these
Institutes, and the field demonstrations
that were made proved to be of great
interest and value to the farmers. The

Each of the foregoing courses is

PURITY OF FARM WATER OF
FIRST IMPORTANCE.

THE FARM WATER supply is one
of the most important factors in
the general health of the family,
writes T. D. Beckwith, professor Of
bacteriology at the Oregon Agricul-
tural College. The supplies of the city
are usually purer than those OF the
farm because they are better guarded
from disease producing bacteria. Per-
sons who drink infected water are like
Iv to contract the particular disease
caused by the kinds Of germs present
in the water. Hence the need of keep
ing the water pure.
Water is never impure however so
far as the bacterial content is concern
ed, unless there is some source of con-
tamination Most diseases are caused
by some form OF germ, and the germs
never generate spontaneously. If prop
er provision against this contamina-
,tion is provided by some effective
means, the health of the family will be
greatly increased.
Deep wells pass through an impervi-
Gus layer of rock or soil and tap
subterranean water supply, while shall
low wells receive their supply from
the immediate neighborhood, usually
with a radius of few feet. This is
true, regardless of the actual depth
of the well below the surface of the
ground. Ii the deep well, which is
supplied with water that has Travelled
considerable distance, is well caseG up
so that there is no surface pereOlation,
the water will generally be quite pure,
since it has been filtered through
many miles of soil The water in shall
low wells is quite likely to be con-
taminated with the kind of disease
germs that may be found in the coun-
try Immediately surrounding the well.
If such water is used at all care should
be taken to have the area around the
well perfectly cleaned up, and quite
often filtration or boiling is essential
to its sanitary Turity.
