BIG YIELD OF
FRUITS seen
u. of p. Botanist Declares
Conditions Excellent in
Three States
PEACH TREES
IN BLOOM SOON

Record breaking fruit crops, a
yield OF winter wheat far beyond the
average and a season OF farm pro-
ductiveness unprecedented in recent
years are indicated by soil and plant
conditions in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware.
Prof. John NJ. McFarlane. OF the
Botany Department. University Of
Pennsylvania and an authority on
crop conditions in this region, re-
turned yesterday afternoon from a
survey OF farm lands and orchards
in southern New Jersey. This sup
plemented a detailed study in Penn
sylvania and Delaware.
IL was Prof McFarlane, who. a
year ago. commenting upon the soil
and plant diary he has kept for a
quarter OF a century. declared that
the season was thirty-one days ad-
vanced beyond the average spring,
and warned that heavy frost would
cause damage to the extent OF mil
lions OF dollars. The prediction was
fulfilled. when a black frost wiped
out overnight virtually the entire
peach, cherry. plum and apple yield
of this great fruit belt and wrought
havoc to crops generally
II find conditions now wonderfully
good" he said yesterday. I'VE are
Just eight days advanced beyond the
average spring. This Is % days be-
hind soil and plant conditions this
time last year. That was a most
dangerous advance. This year. the
signs are Just right for almost un-
d precedented production.
1T Is impossible for any frost now

/ My inspection in South Jersey to-
day OF the fine orchards down there
showed the swelling buds to be OF re-
markabie promise and well protect

come at the end OF this week. The
trees have wintered we'll and there
Is every reason TO predict a remark

What Is true OF peaches Is also
true OF pears, apples cherries and
I plums. Strawberries in New Jersey
also promise an extraordinary yield
All the berry crops will do we'll and
so will the root crops.

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkan, which Is very
Injurious, as It dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing 10 use Is Mulsihed CO.
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and
beats anything else all TO pieces You
can get Mulsifed at any drug store. and
a few ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls OF Mulsi-
fed in a cup or glass with a little warm
water ls all that is required. II makes
an abundance OF rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rlnses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and even
~. and is soft fresh looking, bright,
fluffy. wavy, and easy to handle. Be
sides. It loosens and takes out every
particle Of dust. dirt and dandruh. BE
sure your druggist gives you Mulsihed.
