TRAINING FOR A REPORTER

my boy" said the editor of the
Billsville Bugle to the new reporter,
'you lack caution. You must learn
not to state things as facts until they
are proved facts-otherwise, you are
very apt to get us into libel suits.
Do not say, the cashier who stole the
funds say, the cashier who is al
legged to have stolen the funds
That's all now, nd-ah-turn in a
stickful about that Second Ward So
cial last night"
Owing to an influx of visitors It
was late in the afternoon before the
genial editor Of the Bugle caught
glimpse of the great family daily.
Halfway down the social column his
eyes lit on the following cautious
paragraph: 1T Is rumored that a
card party was given last evening
to number of reputed ladies of the
Second Ward. Mrs. Smith, gossip
says, was the hostess, and the fes-
tivities are repodted to have been
continued until 1890 in the evening.
1t is alleged that the affair was a
social function given to the ladies of
the Second Ward Cinch club and
that, with the exception of Mrs.
James Bilwiliger, who says she comes
from Leavits Junction, none but
members was present. The reputed
hostess insists that coffee and waters
alone were served as refreshments.
The Smith woman claim to be the
wife of John Smith, the so-called
Honest Shoe Man of 315 East State
street"
Shortly afterward a whirling mass
claiming to be a reporter on the
Bugle, few Is feet into the street
and landed with what bystanders as-
serte was dull, sickening thud.-

wild figs of the age that yield pollen.
In many of these they found tiny
insect which through a microscope
looked like a wasp. The scientists
named it "blastophaga." They began
to watch the front doors of the Smyr-
ma figs and soon detected blastophaga
coming and going. In doing so it
evidently carried the pollen of the
wild fig and made it possible for the
prize specimen to develop.
Insects Found Necessary
Obviously, the one thing necessary
to make the trees of California yield
figs was to get sufficient of these tiny
wasps to running in and out of the
holes of the young figs and wiping
their feet on the doormat. But bring
ing a colony of these tiny creatures
half around the world and making
for them home under new condi-
tions is no small task. To accom-
plish this the life cycle of the insects
must be understood, the food it re-
quires must be known and provid-
ed, conditions must be created under
which it can make the long trip and
thrive afterward.
Several trials failed until finally
a consignment of the insects, brought
over in living caprifig tree, arrived
at just the right stage Of their de-
velopment, Immediately went forth
upon their work Of fertilization
thrived and started a race of their
kind. They soon inhabited all the
capriigs in California and all the
Smyrnas we're yielding aboundantly.
From their work a great industry
has grown.

tigated the situation and finally
found the failure was due to the fact
that there we're no humble bees to
visit socially from one flower to an
other in the clover fields of the far
Pacific.
Bundle Bees Sent Over
When the trouble was discovered it
was decided that these insects should
follow the flag. The United States
government went to great deal of
trouble in collecting humble bees for
the purpose. Great nests of them
were captured in the winter season
during which time they slumber for
months. They were packed in ice
that they might continue in the be-
lief that it was still cold despite their
journey into the tropics. When they
arrived in the islands they were al
lowed to warm up and awake. They
thought summer had come. They
went forth into the barren clover
fields and did their work of fertili-
zation. They multiplied and became
plentiful. Now clover may be grown
as well in the Philippines as in the
United States.
The most interesting case of tiny
insects helping man to grow great
crop was that of a wasp about the
size of a gnat, without which none
of us would ever taste those delicious
dried figs of the Symrna variety. Sc
battling was the problem of the work
done by this insect that it required
25 years of scientific work to solve
lit. Until it was solved it was i'm
possible to grow Smyrna figs in
America and millions of pounds were
every year imported from that re-
gion at the east end of the Mediter-
ranean which has been the scene OF
much fighting between the Turks and
French and British.
Figs Brought Here by spinish
Before jamestown or Plymouth
Rock were settled the Spanish padres
pushed their way into what is now
New Mexico and California. They
gave the natives many new crops and
taught them how to farm them
Among these were figs, crop which
fitted into the conditions of the
southwest and that have grown
abundantly ever since.
California sought to market the
figs that grew so abundantly on it'
farms, but found it impossible tC
compete with superior varieties from
Smyrna.
Californa Immediately decided thai
the right thing to do under the cir
cumstances was to introduce the
Smyrna fig and grow it instead Of
the varieties that it was then trying
to market. 1t was in 1880 that IA,
900 choice cuttings of fig trees were
brought from Smyrna and distributed
and planted throughout California
They responded to the climate ant
soil and grew prodigiously Califor

enough to yield. When that time
came a very peculiar thing happened.
The little figs appeared in great
abundance, grew until they we're as
big as thimble. dropped their heads
and died. Not one of the vigorous
trees in all California produced a
single ripe fig.
Scientific fruit men were called in
to consultation and worked for years
upon the mystery of this failure of
the fig trees to bear fruit. Other ex-
peditions were sent to Smyrna and
cuttings were taken from trees that
were known to be good producers.
1t took years to try these out and
they failed to ripen their fruit just
as the others had.
Capri6g Always Near
Then the growers decided that the
fault must lie with the fertilization
of the young figs. This problem they
studied on the shores of the Medi-
terranean also. The United States
government sent experts abroad for
the purpose. These men found that
growing side by side with the great
figs of commerce there was always
to be observed a kindred plant known
as the caprifig. This was wild fruit
of no commercial value. But, after
years of study it was found that the
caprifig furnished the pollen that was
necessary to make the Smyrna fig fer
tile. Without that pollen the figs of
the Mediterranean would drop off
the trees just as they did in Califor-
mia. Therefore, the caprifig must al
ways grown near the orchards of the
Smyrna fig.
So the American men of science
brought the wild fig to California and
planted it in the barren orchards they
had grown. 1t required nearly an
other decade for it to gain maturity.
When that time came the fig orchards
still remained as unproductive as
they had before. The mystery was
still unsolved
Finally Solves Problem
One of the government scientists
tried artificial fertilization. He drew
piece of glass tube out to very
small point. This he inserted into
the little hole in the end of the cap
rifig and sucked some of the pollen
into the tube. Then he inserted this
fine end of the tube into the little
hole of developing Smyrna fig and
blew. Thus, he figured, would he
fertilize the Smyrna fig.
/ And he succeeded The few figs he
thus treated clung to the tree and
ripened. They were the first Smyrna
figs that had ever matured in Cali
fornia. The scientist had proved that
the orchards lacked only the transfer
of the pollen of the wild fig to the
pod of that which it wanted to ripen.
The scientists drew the conclusions
that America lacked the insect that
would bring pollen to the Smyrna fig.
Again an expedition was sent to
Smyrna. These men broke open the

Clover Fields Owe
Existence to Bees
BY Frederick ]. Haskin

Without the humble humble bee
there would not exist single clover
field in the United States. Uncle Sam
knows this for he has recently made
q very great effort to raise clover in
the Philippines, where there were no
humble bees and has failed. That
is, he failed until he modified an
army of these creatures of the buzz
and the sting, and transported them
to the islands of the far east and set
them to work in the clover fields.
Now, thanks to their activities, clover
grows as abundantly there as any
body could wish.
The humble bee belongs to that
family of insects that makes itself
useful by carrying the pollen from
one flower to another and by that
act fertilizing those flowers. 1t is
a provision of nature that no flower
is sufficient unto itself. If a paper
bag is put over one of them and 1t
is therefore shut off into world by
itself, it will bloom as prettily, run
its customary course, wither and die
as it would If left in the open. But
no seeds will result from it's flower
ing.
This is because, to serve it's pur-
pose of developing seed, it must re-
ceive the pollen from some other
flower of it's kind and in that way
be made fertile. There are certain
blossoms that are thus fertilized by
having the pollen blown from one tc
the other. But there are more that

Bees Busiest Go-Betweens
The busiest go-betweens for such
flowers are the bees. To induce these
creatures to perform their vital er
rand, the flowers keep on hand {
goodly supply of sweets. The bees
come for the sweets and, while they
are feeding upon them the flowers
