Both republican and democratic

are extremely long lived. There are
some in Syria which are known to De

other century or two. Formerly the
olive trees we're not expected to pro-
duce fruit oftener than once in three
years, but with improved methods OF
culture they now bear abundantly
each season. In ancient times the
olives were thrashed from the trees
with sticks, but now the syrians PICK
them by hand, thereby preserving
their trees and also improving the
quality Of the fruit. -.
