BIDDLE ENGAGEMENT
FORMALLY ANNOUNCED
Brother of Bride of Yesterday
to Wed Bridegroom's Sister,
Miss Mary L. Duke.

Formal announcement OF the engage
ment of Miss Mary L. Duke to Anthony
J. Drexel Biddle, Jr, was made today.
The wedding will take place early In the
summer probably at the country house
of the Dukes,
A. j. Drexel Blddle was asked to con-
firm the report OF the engagement, and
In doing so gave out the news, a surprise
to many, that his son had recently gone
into business whereas It was generally
understood that the Young man was still
at school, and was at school for at least
the first part of the current academic
year. MIR Biddle said;

There was an exceptionally large lot OF
''things to talk over about the Duke
Biddle wedding today. and there were n
great many little morning parties assem-
bled in various houses in the Rittenhuose
Square district OF course, the thing
everybody said first was, did you ever
see such crowd?" and then they got
on to the subject of the womens clothes,
But they came back to the crowds. Did
you see Mayor. Blankenburg go up the
back stairs at the Biddles because the
only other way the Mayor could get up
TO the third floor to see the presents was
the packed and jammed front stairway?
And did you see Mrs. Van Rensselaer, and
Mrs. Drexel go out through the stable to
get to their autos because the front steps
at that time were impossible?
They were not the only ones. The side

a wedding guest and her gown from that

entered the stable, or rather garage these
days. among the perilously crowding

GROWING FRUIT ON DRY LAND
Plant All Trees and Small Plants
Farther Apart Than Custom.

'By JOHN ROBERTSON. Hot Springs.
g. d.
IN growing fruit without irrigation,
all trees and small fruit plants must
be planted farther apart than is the
custom. This Is a very important
point to remember. Where there il
little rainfall and q dry subsoil, each
tree or plant must have enough indi-
vidual surface surrounding 1t to draw
moisture from, according to its size
and nature Of growth. We cannot get
something for nothing, nor can we
grow plants without moisture; and
they must have enough to do their
best
Those who are planting apple trees
10 feet apart each way on dry subsoil
land cannot succeed. This is just as
certain az that two given numbers
make certain sum In a mathematical
problem. Apple trees should not be
planted closer than 80 feet apart each
way. They will not need all the
moisture between them at this dis
lance apart until ten or twelve years
old, and small fruits or other crops
may be grown between them till about
this age, but one must use care and
Judgment as to how much or how long
to crop between the trees. 1t is bet
ter to make the mistake of cropping
too little than too much. Trees plant
ed 16 feet apart will grow as well as
those 80 feet apart for the first ten
years. II there is nothing planted be.
tween them, but after, about that time
there will not be moisture enough to
supply the Increasing drain made as
they grow larger. Even II three
fourths of the trees we're dug out, moth.
ing would have been gained, for the
orchard would only be starting to bear
paying crops of fruit; while II the
rows are 80 feet apart, and one row of
small fruit plants are set between
each two rows OF trees, by the time
the trees need all the moisture, the
small fruits will have done their best,
and one can dig them up. feeling he
has been well repaid. 1t is important.
too, that the outside row of any kind
Of trees or plants be planted not closer

The land should be in thorough cul
tiVation before trees are planted, and
the last blowing should be extra deep.
because 1t Is not going to be plowed
again and should be in condition to
take in heavy rainfall. No expensive
tools are required; simply a strong
