her audience under the spell of her

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

Recent experiments by the United
States department of agriculture have
resulted in the introduction of Il seed
less and puckeriess persimmon. The
government experts learned that the
Japanese discovered an artificial meth
cd for removing the Objectionable
pucker. 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-
~perimental 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
800 acres. and filling i'm 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
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
types of field experiments. There are
large barns and tool sheds. and the
grounds are provided with a drug lab
oratory. dry kilnS n n refrigerating
plant
Scientists of the department of agri
culture have renamed the insect com
monty known as the "housefy." and
henceforth 1t is TO be known to the
government experts as the typhoid
hy." The typhoid fly is described AS
being a most dangerous creature and
one of the most active agents In
spreading disease.
