WHERE FRUIT GROWING
IS OVERCOME

A few years ago many persons in
vested money in the stock of biz
company for raising apples on
mammoth scale in the Hood River
district of Oregon. Young men, on
leaving college, as most of them
have to do something and are out
Of touch with business, went to the
apple-promoting country of the
Northwest.
The result of this excessive inflow
of men and money was greatly
cverdone apple-growing in the three
states of Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington. The apples were fine look
ing. but they lacked the flavor Of
those grown in Western New York
and Michigan, and were long way
farther from market.
According to reports, last years
prices were below profit in many
places; and vet these three states
have 100000 bearing trees now,
and inside of two years will have
as many more. Then apples are
grown in nearly every state of the
Union. Not only in Michigan and
New York, but in Virginia, in West
ern Carolina, and Alabama and
Arkansas splendid fruit is produced.
Other crops in the long run are
surer to yield profit, but the bust
ness is not so attractive. Fruit.
growing is more alluring than rails
ing corn and oats, hogs and cattle.
The peach growers of Georgia, when
cotton prices rose cut down their
orchards and prospered raising cot
| ton.
The ultimate remedy for overpro-
duction in any line isto find more
adequate markets. The best thing
that can befall an overdone indus
try is to push it out of its comfort
able sense of having a monopoly
Hitherto trading among ourselves
has been our chief desire. We have
passed that point in nearly all i'm
portant industries, whether of the
farm or the factory.
1t makes no difference whether it
is the apple-growers of the North
west, the wheat-growers of the
West, or the cotton-growers of the
South, the supreme need is markets
for their products. as without them
none can prosper. Closing our
ports to foreign trade by tariff laws
may enrich few. but it is dis
astrous to many industries, besides
increasing the cost of living.-Jaek-

Pride and

Madeleine Driscoll had returned to
the old manor house in Clayton after
an absence Of Is years.
Clayton had ceased to think of the
Driscolls. They had been squires in
the old days, but their importance
mad faded 40 Clayton became . manu-
featuring town, and Madeleine's father
had lost his money in Wild speculation,
leaving an impoverished wife and
daughter striving to keep up the old
state which had long ago departed.
Finally. after her mothers death,
the girl had gone away. She had
closed up the house, and It had stood
untenanted upon the hill. People
ceased to speak Of her; she was n.
most forgotten when she returned.
Her return awakened memories Of
her life in the place. Gossips recalled
that she had been engaged to be mar
ried once. Her hance was the young
Episcopal clergyman, Upton vane. He
had not appeared at the church door;
that much was remembered. He had
departed within q week. and Clayton
had not seen him again. Life had
continued just as smoothly in Clay.

grown, factories had sprung up, but
much was the same. Only those who
had known Madeleine when she was

departed.

adored her. She could not look upon

Up in the corn belt of the Central
and Central Western states thehoe
has earned the title of mortgage lift.
er. Perhaps there are not many
mortgages to lift in Florida, but an
animal which can gain that signifi-
cant title is pretty good partner
with which to 60 into business John
NJ. Scott, vice director of the Uni
versity of Florida Experiment Sta
tion, is anxious for the farmers to
raise more hogs.
The state is especially adapted to
hog raising because of the great va
riety Of cheap forage crops and
feeds. 1t will be only a few weeks
until winter forage crops should be
planted. Every farmer should pro-
cure not only enough pigs for his
own use but he should have enough
to utilize a large amount Of forage
this fall and winter.
Purebread hogs are cheapest in
the long run because they will fat
ten best and utilize their feed more
economically 1t never pays to buy
or feed scrub stock. Hence Mr..
Scott advises some of the pure
breeds. 1t is not necessary to buy
registered stock unless one wishes
to go into the purebred business
The pork or lardhog breeds are the
Berkshire, Poland-Chinas. Duroc
Jerseys. The bacon breeds are the
Hampshire and Tamworth
1t is not advisable to raise the
Chester White or any of the other
white breeds in Florida because they
blister in thehot sun. OF the other
breeds, the farmer may choose the
one which he fancies. All are good
and any one may be best suited to
a given set Of conditions.

Q young man; he was forcible speak
er, and had been selected on the death
of his predecessor on account Of his
elOquence and impassioned faith. A
bachelor, he had given all his money
to the poor. He was leader Of the
new evangelical school, which was
believed to offer the most powerful op-
position to all the doctrines Of mate
rialism, rampant throughout the land.
All Clayton awaited his first visit.
On the evening of his arrival Made
leine was in the church. She was
alone; she had been decorating the al
tar and putting the last garlands of
green about the pillars. Then, her
work done. the memory Of the past
came rushing over her. Just SO had
she worked in the days when Upton
and she were engaged to be married.
They had met here: and her memo
ries opened the foodgates Of her sor-
row. She kneeled and wept before the
altar.
She did not hear the door open. nor
was she aware that she was not alone
until she started up, to see the bishop
standing at her side. Through eyes
blinded with tears she discerned the
kindly man who looked inquiringly at
her.
You are in trouble?" asked the
bishop.
She nodded desolately. She could
not speak; she buried her head in her
arms and sobbed.
Then suddenly she found herself
poured out her story. II was a tale
of pride and punishment, but the pun.

the sin.
Fifteen years before, almost to q

something to confess before she died.
She wanted a minister-any minister.
The message had come to Upton be-
cause the Methodist minister was out.

the girl. Mr.. Barrett will be back

FLORIDA'S WEALTH

Florida's wealth, according to the
United States census bureau, is plac-
ed at $1,O49, 13S.22S, every man,
woman and child in the country be-
ing entitled, according to the man
rer of prorating. to $13.O7, whether
or not every one could produce if
called upon, as there are always
some that do not appear to have
their full share, which is often kept
for better safety-to the keepers
The property of the state is divided
as follows: Realty and improve
ments, $H29,4S7,293; live stock,
$34, 421, 547; farm improvements
and machinery, $4,942,566; manu-
featuring machinery, tools and i'm
plements, $2s,791.O73; gold and
silver coin and bullion, $15,OS9, 626:
railroads and equipment, $3O2,O26.-
041; street railways, shipping,
waterworks, etc, $29,233.O01; other
property, sos, 150.CS1. Real es-
tate and Improvements are assessed
at 35.5 per cent of their true value.
according to the bureaus estimates.
But, while those figures show up
we'll for state, whose resources
have scarcely been tapped, they do
not begin to give an idea of the real
wealth of Florida. Florida is one
of the richest states in the Union
from many standpoints, there being
untold wealth in store for those
who are farseeing enough to start in
properly to draw on her resources
lit is state filled with possibilities
that are unexcelled, if indeed they
are even approached, anywhere in
the world. Fruits and vegetables
of almost every known variety may
be produced here, and particularly
those that do not thrive in cold eli
mates. There is great promise for
her cattle industry; she leads in
phosphate production; her fishing
and naval stores industries are a
great source OF revenue; there is a
mint of untouched stores in the way
Of fibres and other materials for
manufacture. Her healthfulness
can not be excelled and her climate
is the finest in the world-a wealth
that can not be computed in dollars
and cents.-Fort Myers Press.

me-"
We'll, think 1t outrageous, an
swered the girl holly. Remember, II
you keep me waiting tomorrow, I'll
not marry you
why, my dear, I'll be back by mid
night" Upton answered.
She suffered him to kiss her, but
her manner was distinctly aggrieved
as he took his departure. And when
he reached the miserable shack, he
found cause for further delay.
The old woman's son was expected
hourly from the South. He had COM
mitted . crime; he had confessed to
his mother, and when he arrived she
wished him to unburden himself of his
secret and suffer the penalty. 1t
would mean q dozen years in the peni-
Tertiary. She could not die leaving
him with his crime unatoned.
The minister waited. Hours crept
by. It was morning before the son
appeared. He was just in time to say
good-by to his mother. to listen to her
plea, and to make his confession.
The woman died, and the minister
took the man to the police station.
BY the time these formalities were end
cd It was ten o'clock. And he had half
An hour to 60 home and dress for the
wedding.
There were no telephones In those
days. At furious pace he drove his
horse up the hill, to encounter the
brides carriage going to the church.
Madeleine saw him. He pulled up and
tried to speak to her.
Take US home!" cried the girl to
the coachman.
Those we're the last words Of hers
that Upton heard Arrived at the ma
nor, she shut herself up for days. In
vain Upton tried to see her. She
would not receive him. She returned
his letters. A week later the young
man left Clayton and his successor
was installed. A few weeks after that
Mrs. Driscoll died, and Madeleine soon
closed the house and disappeared.
She hao lived in the world, she had
tasted the sweets and bitterness Of
life, and now, at thirty-five, she had
returned to her native town. And
those memories which she thought she
had forgotten came back to her with
poignant intensity.
That was the story she told the
bishop.

into the eyes Of Upton Vane.
