vlOLETs
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

yiolets are the flowers that seem

their season is short in comparison
with the numerous hothouse flowers.

Then comes constant cultivation every
day Ia the year.
In the spring all plants are thrown
away and the houses restocked and all
the earth taken out and replenished
from a new supply. During the win
ter months various stimulating fertiliz-
ers must be used on the soil and all
vegetable growth cleared away. If al
lowed to accumulate it would sap the
strength Of the plants and absorb Che
nutriment given by this top dressing
Then the withered leaves, dead or poor
blooms, must be removed, and water
given in the right quantities.
The principal revenue in the violet
business is reaped from November 70
May. In this respect it differs from
regular greenhouses where all varie-
ties Of flowers are grown. After May
the violets grow smaller as the heat
increases. Then the plants are thrown
out and the houses thoroughly renovat-

THE ROSE CITY

They call Portland, Ore, the Rose
city. With its yearly festival where
100000 rose plants are on view it

tival week which is usually the first
week in June, one can see 100000
rose flowers, covering more than 700
varieties all in bloom at one time.
Last year Portland people planted
more than 100 miles Of new rose
bushes. II placed in row this display

Hint for Exporters to Tropics.


In shipping to the tropics the wise
practice of using tin containers for
dried fruits, candies, crackers, etc.,
has been generally adopted by Ameri-
can manufacturers and exporters but
many firms so solder the cover that it's
removal means the practical destruc-
tion of the container. Because of their
usefulness as receptacles in which to
store articles to protect them from
ants and other vermin these contain
ers are much In demand If so sealed
that they may be opened without de-
stroying them. This is done by COM
petitors from other countries and by
some American exporting firms, BY
lightly soldering around the edge Of
the lid narrow piece of tin that can
be stripped off the same security is
obtained and the prospective value Of
the container is preserved.

325, 900 bushels produced in this state
in 1916 and sold at $1.25 per bushel.
The actual value of North Dakota's
1917 wheat crop will be much more
in excess of the price received In
1916 than this comparison shows, ?or
the quality OF wheat is far superior.
The 1916 wheat was so poor that IT
was with difficulty that sufficient
seed for this year was obtained from
ii.
This comparative data is taken
from the government crop report for
North Dakota, comparing the Oct. 1
estimate with the December, 1916, re-
port. The government statistics
show a gain of $63,731 $50 for five
leading North Dakota crops, includ-
ing potatoes and hay, and excluding
barley and rye, in which a decided
gain will be shown. and fiaxseed,
which probably will show a small
loss, even at the prevailing price of
$3.25 the bushel. Even with but half
q crop, fax at present prices will
yield the North Dakota farmer $751;

The OCTOBER estimate for wheat is
$500, 900 bushels as compared with
IS, $4,000, the final estimate for 1916.
The average price is $2.03 as COM
pared with $125, and the total value
based on this price is $11S,95S,00O, as
compared with $49,156,250.

the final estimate for 1916.
F1axseed is estimated at but 4,64e,-
900 bushels as compared with S,137,-
900, the final 1916 estimate. Rye
shows 100000 bushels, a gain of
100 per cent over the 1915 crop of
1856, 900 bushels. October barley. at
$500, 900 bushels, shows a slight loss
from the 1916 crop of 26.73S 900, but
the much higher price more than dis
counts the difference.

nounced yesterday she would retain
her membership in the organization.
She also took occasion to correct a

with having connected the National
Woman's Suffrage association with

Although retaining her membership
In the association she criticized II
adversely as not being radical en-

organization had proved more effec-

the lack of democracy in this coun-

Giving up her office, she said,
