pointed TO a crop about sixty per
cent. of the normal yield.

During February and March there
were reports that the intermittent
warm and cold spells had caused the
peach blossoms to push forward and
then to have been frozen by the cold
weather. Careful inspection by the
crop reporters of the Department now
indicate that there will be a splendid
crop of peaches, unless cold spells
during April should cause consider
able damage.
The present indications show that
the crop of peaches will be about
siXty-one per cent. of normal yield
while the apple crop is estimated to
be about ninety per cent. of normal.
In Adams county, the recognized fruit
growing county of the State, the in
dications are that the peach. crop will
be about fifty-two per cent. of the
normal yield and in Franklin county,
another peach growing county, it will
be about As per cent
Many counties show that the cold

JUDGE FOWLKES REMAINS WILL
 REST AT MARION
By MRS. J. B. REID.

The remains of Judge William M. Fowlkes were taken to Marion, his home town, Monday morning at 6:30 o'clock, accompanied by his widow, his brothers, s. P. Fowlkes, E. o. Fowlkes, H. w. Fow1kes, F. B. Fowlkes, Walter B. Fowlkes, and his half brother, John B.. Reid, and MT. Eugene L. Brown, life long friend. The services were held the same afternoon at the Shiloh Baptist church, of which he had been devout member since early boyhood The inter- ment took place in the cemetery, which holds the remains of generations of his loved ones who have gone before This closes the career of a very popular and useful citizen in the community in which he was born and spent all of his days.
 MT. Fowlkes was young, only 46 years of age, just ripe for the duties of home and the demands of the worlds affairs
 His short illness made the shock of his death a greater blow to this family and friends.
 A life work was cut short too quickly for him to realize fully that the parting was near, and he had before him con stantly his unfinished plans for achieve ment. Few young men in Alabama have passed away leaving a greater void among those who knew him best. The memory of twill Fowlkes'' will finger always, and as the flower covered mound at the cemetery was left to the midnight shadows, there fell tears for the boy who had lived well among his people.

above the beets so they will not bleed Wash and boil until tender. Have ready syrup of one cup of sugar to two cups of vinegar. Slice the beets to the de- sired thickness; drop into a jar hot. Have the jar setting in boiling water. Pour the syrup over the beets and seal while hot. When opened they are as nice as from the garden. You merely have to sprinkle them with salt and pepper and of course if desired slice some fresh onion into them. Do not have the jar hold more than you care to use at one time, as beets lose their bright red color in a day or two if ex- posed to the air and light.

After all our specula- tions it would be odd if the Swedish grandmother's beverage, known to her all these years by the scriptural name, should prove to be modern, unromantic "California beer" We may settle the point to our liking after read ing the other letters, which will appear in few days The recipe for pickled beets reads well. The beets are to be eaten as salad rather than as vegetable. Served upon lettuce, they would be pretty as well as palatab1e and piquant I do not see how you are to be initiated into the technical terms of crocheting unless you can engage fellow workwoman to be- come your instructor by word of mouth It may be that expert fancy workers may be able to direct you to manual which will initiate you.

About Picking Olives

If H. H., who asked about picking olives will simply put them up in oil and not pickle, she will confer a favor on many who would like to procure such for table use, instead of puckery green things passing under the name of olives Ripe olives may be dried in the sun and are most delectable, besides proving highly nutritious. The usual load of salt accom- panying ripe olives, when put up in brine greatly detracts from their food value besides retarding digestion. The ripe, black fruit, packed in oil, would be sala- ble and eagerly sought if priced at req sonable rate. The virtues of such a food inferior to those grown in Italy, but some varieties are acceptable and scarce on the market. As to the inclosed query about the high gloss on foliage offered by millinery shops, the special gloss is sold only, I believe, so far, by millinery supply houses. Small cans may be pur- chased at such places. Many stores have an assortment of millinery materials, but this aid has not, so far. been offered. I hope this may prove of help.
 JEAN R. A
 The foregoing from the pen of one of our most intelligent and efficient col leagues deserves more than casual read- ing. What she says of the relative food values of green and ripe olives is too well known to epicures to be disputed The ripe black olives should supersede the piclzled upon our tables everywhere. The trouble Is, as our member says. the high price of the ripe. Her note anent gloss is welcome

Cleaning Wax Figures

Kindly send me information regarding cleaning wax figures. Also what to paint them with to make up after cleaning.
 "G. S."
 With nothing to guide me but recollec- tions of how I used to wash the face of my big wall doll C'with real hair and eyes that rolled in her headD I venture to advise that you wipe the dirt from the figure with bit of soft linen, damp ened with water to which you have added a few drops of sweet oil, well blended with the water. This will take off the dirt without softening the wax. Further than this I dare not go, having had little to do with wax images since the time of which I have spoken. The query is referred to readers who may have dealings with the smiling and staring lay figures abid- ing in shop windows. Yet they must be cleaned and retouched up at the change of seasons. Who knows how this is done?

Boiling Before Washing

T have seen in the Corner directions for boiling clothes before washing. I have been washing clothes this way for over 20 years, with great success My method is slightly different from that of l.. N. L. and to me seems more simple: First, shave a bar of borax soap and boil it in two quarts of water. Do this the day before wash day. Then, when ready for washing, fill the boiler three-fourths full of water, put in three cups of the soap jelly and one-quarter cup of kero- sene. When the water is absolutely boil ing, put in the table linen and boil for 20 to 30 minutes. Take out the clothes, rinse thoroughly. You will find all dirt and grease have disappeared To each succeeding boilerful add more water, if necessary, to keep the boiler three fourths full. Add one extra cup of soap, quarter cup of kerosene, and proceed as before Tn esecret of success in this method is to have the water boiling be- fore putting in the clothes, and not filling the boiler too full of clothing. Of course, do not boil colored clothes. B. w."
 In my own laundry the practice of soak ing white clothes over night, the day be- fore washing them, has been kept up so long that hesitate to make a change. I wish housemothers who give personal attention to laundry work would confer through the Corner upon this point. We are ever ready to adopt new methods when we are convinced that they are bet ter than ours.

 There are cheap preparations for clean ing buckskin shoes to be had from drug gists and shoe dealers. If you cannot get one of these with accompanying di- rections for use, sponge the shoes with alcohol and while they are still damp sift talcum powder thickly over them, and rub it in with piece of clean soft fan nel. This will clean them nicely and keep them in good looks for a day or two

 Have at hand plenty of warm soft water and several large songes. Sponge a yard or two of the paper until it is soaked and blistered. Then strip it from it's weakened hold. Proceed thus until the wall is bare. Wash faithfully with suds of warm water and borax soap lastly, rinse and wipe dry. There are other ways of doing this tedious job. I can recom- mend that set down here as simple and effectual if properly done

Clensing Compound for Carpets

Somehow I lost the paper containing a cleansing compound for rugs, carpets, etc. I'd be so glad if you would mail it to me. I need it. R. F. Nc T.
 Use two ounces, each of salsoda and borax, and one cake of white soap dis solved in a large bucketful of boiling soft water. Let it stand until cool then add two ounces of sulphuric ether. Scrub the dusted carpet on the floor with the warm fluid and wipe dry with a clean cloth. This will destroy moths and clean and brighten the carpet beautifully.
