ITALY = Italy is discussing the offer
of the Car to return to Italy the
Italians who were taken prisoners in
the Austrian army. The condition
that the Gar made was that Italy
should give her promise that these

held that to make this promise would
be violation of Italy s neutrality,

FERN INDUSTRY IN
WINDHAM COUNTY
Carried on Extensively and Probably
Sent to Cities for Christmas
Trade-Crop Never Fails.

Perhaps but few persons realize the
extent of the fern industry in this
section. nor what large amount OF
money is paid out during the season,

business. commenced a few years ago
on a small scale, has assumed proper
tiOns which place it in the front rank
of industries in this section. True, the
season only lasts a few months dur
ing the summer and early faH,. but III
that time hundreds of persons are en-
gagged in the occupation of fern pick
ing.
One of the pioneers of this indus
try is J. 4. Shaw of Springfield, Mass,
whose summer place of business ana
residence is on Shafter street, in thrs
village A year ago Mr.. Shaw asso-
ciated with him in his business his
nephew. Leroy Shaw, and the Shaw
Fern company was formed, with
Headquarters and salesrooms in Pitts
field, Mass.
At the establishment in this village
are receiving and packing rooms amt

ferns are kept until shipped There
are several branch receiving stations
where the plants are delivered when
| gathered by the piekers, and where
| they are kept until loads large enough
| to warrant their transfer to Whining
ton have been accumulated. After
! they are received here, the ferns are
packed in specially made boxes and

tions. The daily shipments from Will

this industry is carried on here may
be CLEANED from the fact that the
Shaw Fern company pays out in this
section in one season from 10000 to
| $4,000.
There is a great deal of beauty in
the different varieties of ferns that
grow in this part of the country, but
it is overlooked by the majority of
people living where they grow so lux
uriantly.
Wherever one goes. through the pas
lures or through the woods, there are
ferns and ferns. The farmers call
them "brakes,' and so far as the
growth invades their pastures they
would be glad to get rid of it, but
this is a good deal easier said than
done. The fern is hardy plant, and
once it takes root in pasture or grove
it is there to stay.
People living in such a region as
this can have no conception of the APP
peal which the fern makes to the PEG
pie of the cities. To them it brings
something of the freshness of the
country, and the persistency with
which it remains green and fresh
makes 1T valuable as a winter decora-
ton 1t is the companion of the
Christmas tree, bringing the beauty of
the open country to thousands who sell
dom or never see at first hand and
lending such cheer to the winter sea
son as only such things can produce.
And one of the beauties of the fern
business is that it is one which af-
fords pleasure and profit without loss
at any point. The shipping of Christ

some who feel that it is wrong if not
