Of the Fruit Growers Exchange the

select varieties of fruit to be recon-

ney Of Bowdoinham, Mr.. st. Clair OF

ton, Messrs. Taylor and Kinds of

Some few orchardists whose Bald
win trees were not badly winter
killed thought they would for the
present at least stick to the Baldwin.
others said that in the past Baldwins
which had winter killed or died from
some other cause had been replace
by them with Mcintosh Reds.
Good air and land drainage are
necessary, however, in order TO grow
this variety successfully.
Mention was made of the fact that

planting of them as he himself had
done extensively in the past.

locations was well liked. Several
other varieties were named and their
merits discussed. A committee was
appointed to further consider the
question and report later, this COM

1t is noticeable fact to the peo-
pie who traverse Water street dur
ing the early morning hours. say
before 7 O'Clock, to notice the num-
Der OF people who sponge" their
reading Of the kennebec Journal
rather than to pay the small price
that is charged for the paper. The
paper is left by the carrier boys at
the entrance of many stores along
the street, tucked into the handles
of the doors at such places as there
is not chance to push it through
the wicket provided for the recep-
ton Of mail, and in such places as
the paper can be reached by the
"spongers" it is almost all every
morning sight to sec some one of
them engaged in getting the morn
ing news in that way, While it
really does no harm if anyone looks
over the paper and then returns it
to where he found it, there are those
who don't do this. and if they re-
turn it at all after they look it over,
they simply throw it down in the
doorway without even taking the
trouble to fold it, and the first
breeze that comes along is apt to
blow ii away, thus leaving the one
who pays for the paper to wonder
whether or not the boy forgot him.
