TELEPHONE USE

WASHINGTON, March 5.-An
enormously increased use OF the tele-
phone as one of the necessities of
modern life IS shown In a bulletin
just issued by the United States
census department
Figures prove that the number OF
calls made by residents of the Unit

SOIL AND CLIMATE MAKE FRUIT GROWING
INHENDERSON COUNTY HIGHLY PROFITABLE

Henderson county, because of climatic con
ditions, location and soil, presents field rich
with big possibilities to the fruit grower,
farmer and horticulturist who will use their
heads and their hands in getting living
from the soil.
When the farmer in some sections Of the
country takes into consideration all the
hardships and privations of his existence he
must surely come to the conclusion that his
life is hard one, poorly compensated Now
mark the difference by which. the same
amount Of industry expended in favored Sec
ton, such as Henderson county is, is reward
ed he has greater diversity of crops the
market price is better than In oyer-supplied
sections; and the labor involved is no greater.
Because he does not put his whole depend
ence in one crop the farmer of Henderson
county is in a position to enjoy greater re.
turns from his labors, and living expenses
are no higher here than in the low-lying Sec
tons
Besides these advantages the farmer of this
section enjoys the benefits of genial and
healthful climate, free from those scourges of
the sandy, low country, malaria and hook
worm. His fruit trees mature rapidly and
bear wonderfully prolific crops which find
ready market both locally and elsewhere.
Such facts as these are sufficient to induce
very desirable class of agriculturists to come
here and invest their money in grain crops,
fruit and truck.
Fine Fruit Growing Section.
This is prominently fruit section. Large
portions of the county are above the frost

afforded. After selecting the best varieties
of fruits, the farmer has learned that even
the best fruit does not take care of itself, but
must be intelhgently planted and pruned,
and sprayed at least twice a year. He has
learned that insect pests will overcome his
greatest efforts unless held In rigid check by
means easily applied
Each year Henderson county farmers learn
more about the successful preservation of
fruits intended for commercial purposes. The
enormous waste ofperfectly marketable fruit
is appalling, and to stop this leak is the con-
slant effort of local growers and experts. To
do this the proper methods of packing and
storing fruits are being shown at fairs and in
demonstrations given at centrally located
farms, and by means Of carefully prepared
literature. The results already obtained
speak well for both the growers and the de-,
monstrators. An effort is being made TO
orgar:ze the apple growers of Western North
Carolina for the better advancement of their
interests. 1t is urged that only the growers
of commercial apples should be allowed to
come into the association the first year. Grad
ualIy those who learn to properly spray,
grade and market their apples will be en-:
eouraged to come into the organization and
thus raise the standard Of culture throughout
the apple section.
Some further advantages of organization
are herein outlined
Through joint sales agency the expenses
of travelling agents and telegraphie service
for finding and keeping track Of markets arc
greatly reduced. A better check on cars en-
route and more intelligent diversion of ship
ments may be secured. No market need be
overstocked and none undersupplied. Cars
can be loaded with the kind and grade OF
fruit suitable for the market which the car is
to be sent The time in which our apples are
ahead of the Virginia crop could be better
utilized Better terms can, be made with

totaled at least one million bushels This is
an exceptional yield, of course, owing to the
peculiar season experienced in the mountains
GUS section last year, but it serves to illus
trate what great possibilities are to be found
here. When intelligent methods are used on
good soil, there is no estimating the returns
enc may count on in the growing of fruit in
this county.
Scientific Methods Employed.
Through the efforts of paid experts, and
local growers who employ the, latest methods.
the farmers generally are beginning to appre

sand-clay variety. Drainage conditions are
good. owing to the rolling character of the
country.
It is the undivided opinion of experts from
all parts of the country that conditions here
compare favorably with those to be found in
any apple country. 1t is estimated that the
crop of apples raised in this county last year

ASSUMES OFFENSIVE

The Republican National committed

blow in the fight. At its meeting, held
in Washington Tuesday, it was decided
TO hold the national convention at Chi
cago on June 7 Of next year. BY this
action il was decided to take the often

slI precedents for the party out Of
power to hold its convention first, and
the Democrats will not meet until a
full week later, in st. Louis.
While it is probable that most of
the states west Of the Missouri river
favored San Francisco for the eonven-
ton city, Chicago won by a majority
Of all the votes cast, four different
cities being aspirants for the honor.
While the delegates would have found
San Francisco to be the most comfort
able city in the country for a June
meeting, other reasons evidently out

minds Of the committeeman.
