EvER-BEARIMG ORANGE TREE
Possibility That Discovery in Florida
viii Revoiutionize Conditions
in Growth of Fruit.

An ever-bearing orange tree, which
citrus fruit growers believe is destined
to revolutionize the orange industry of
the state, if not of the entire country.
has been discovered by horticulturists
in small grove at Avon Park, near
Tampa, Fla. To protect the specimen,
its purchaser has placed around it a
heavy wire fence 20 feet In height and
stationed guards day and night.
The tree has been in bearing con-
tinuously eight years, but until re-
cently.its existence was known only to
the owner and several neighbors who,
according to citrus experts, did not
realize its value, but regarded it mere
ly as a freak of nature. Several of
south Florida's largest citrus growers
have organized a syndicate, purchased
the tree, leased the ground upon which
it stands. and already are taking steps
to develop its possibilities by propa-
eating it through budwood, with the
expectation of having 250,000 trees
ready for setting out in groves by
1928.
The tree is about fifteen years old.
It's origin is "a mystery. Its owners
believe it will bring forth stock true
TO the parent tree and be worth mil
lions to the men who had the fore
sight to grasp its possibilities.

HAVE KEEN SENSE OF HOME
Abundant Proof That Birds Return
Year After Year to Scenes Of
Familiarity.

Bird lovers have believed for CEN
turtles that migratory birds return to
the same home, year after year. Mod
ern science has proved this belief to
be right. Birds are caught in traps,
that do not hurt them, marked with
tiny legbands of aluminium, each bear
ing a number, and released. Next
year. the same birds are caught again
in the same locality. often when oc-
cupying the same nest.
Evidently, birds memory for di-
rection and location must be quite as
marvellous as the older writer's be-
lieved. The catbird winters as far
south as Panama, yet catbirds marked
in northern Ohio came back to the
same neighborhood, year after year.
Sometimes they move few rods or
furlongs, but the frequency with
which they return to the very spot
is astounding.
Cats find their way back to the old
home across township, horses across
a county or two, and dogs have been
known to pass through several states
in returning to beloved master, but
birds find their way across a CONT
nent. and sometimes over a sea as
we'll.

HOW TO RETAIN YOUTH LONG

PiscatoriaI "Trips."

An ex-corporal of the Twenty
eighth Canadian battalion tells of
fishing trips his company used to make
on the Arras front in 1918. Each
period in the trenches was known as
a "trip" In April. 1918, the company
commander was Capt. Salmon and
tile Lieutenant was named Wales; his
batman was also named Wales. Every
day the countersign was the name of
a fish, such as Haddock, Herring, etc.
Therefore these periods became known
to the company as the fishy trip.
