been his favorite residence. but he has
spent part Of each year at his Cleve

Teller. Recent actions Of the Ohio tar
commission In seeking to establish his
legal residence there. however. have
displeased Mr.. Rockefeller and are
said to be responsible for his decision

DISCOVERIES OF VALUE
TO THE FRUIT GROWER.
Government Experts Have Puckerisss
Persimmon and New Peach.

Recent experiments by the United
States department of agriculture have
resulted in the introduction of a seed
less and puckerless persimmon. The
government experts learned that the
.Iapunese discovered an artificial meth
cd for removing the Objectionable
quicker, and they have adapted it with
equal success to the native varieties
Experiments have also produced a
new Chinese peach. which. the depart
ment claims. has proved harder than
the old seeding stocks and can be
grown farther north. The Chinese
peach Is not edible. but the department
uses only the root to be worked In
with native crops. The Office is pre-
pairing to distribute about 10000 Of
these roots to nurserymen and fruit
growers this year.
Some results Of particular impor-
lance to the fruit grower and gardener
are to be found at the Arlington ex-
detrimental farm. where the govern
ment maintains field laboratories The
plant industry Is here being put to
numberless tests. Fruits, vegetables
drug and forage crops are being raised
for purposes Of study and analysis.
The government has an area of about
300 acres. and filing in operations in
the Potomac river will eventually add
seventy five or eighty additional acres.
According to the department Of agri-
culture. many problems are being
worked out in the greenhouses by sci
entists who are seeking cures for GER
tain plant diseases and endeavoring to
produce more and better strains Of
commercially valuable plants.
In connection with the genealogical
work the government maintains a
large collection OF fruit trees. range
Of greenhouses Is devoted to the prob
lens of the florist and grower Of vege-
tables under glass.
The farm has been equipped with
tools and machinery for the various
