Fla culture in United states.

1t is not improbable that this coun-
try will soon produce all the figs it
needs. This statement is made by the
chief Of the bureau of plant industry,
United States department of agricuI-
ture, in his report on the progress of
Smyrna fig culture in California.
Much of the success of this enterprise
has been due to the fact that the de-
partment has been able to maintain
a caprifg orchard at LOomis from
which caprifgs have been distributed
free to growers.

said he had spent three years In the
army. The major of his battalion
was the former kaiser then Prince
William. The day following his mar
rlage he sailed for the United States
and. in 1883. settled ON the eastern
shore of Green river. Eleven chill
dren were born.
Koss said the mother was III nerv-
Gus and irritable during the last eight
or nine years of her life. This caused
her to pass the two small boys on to
the care of the others very often.
