Best Varieties of Fruit.

Best Varieties of Fruit. n
Clemson College, Nov. 14.-What
are the best varieties of fruits fol
South Carolina? To answer this
question now SO often being asked,
Prof. C. C. Newman, Chief of the
Horticulture Division, has prenared
the following lists and notes. He sug.
gests that orders be placed early as
the demand this season is very great.
Peaches-Mayfower, Greensboro,
Mamie Ross, Carmen, Belle Of Geor'
gia, Elberta, Chinese Cling. This list
is given in order of maturity and
will give a succession Of fruit from
June 1 to August Is. Belle Of Geor-
gia and Elberta are the two varieties
planted most extensively for carlot
shipments. g
Plums-The plum is a very impor-
tant fruit for home use and local
market and should be planted more
generally. We recommend Red June,
Shire, (Early Gold), Abundance.
Apples-early summer varieties,
-Liveland, Early Harvest, Red
June. Summer varieties-Yellow
Horse, Kinnard. Winter varieties
Delicious, Staymen, Winesap, Ter
ry's Winter, Rome Beauty, Yates.
The Piedmont region is we'll adapted
to growing apples, provided they are
planted on rich soil and given proper
attention. Apples should be grown
commercially in some sections OF
Western South Carolina. The Deli
cious, Staymen, and Winesap are
for commercial plant
ings.
Pears-Pears have not proven
profitable commercially because the
trees are subject to blight. The
Keifer seems to be more blight-re-
sistant than any other.
Cherries-Early Richmond, Black
Tartarian, Montmorency, Morello.
Pecans.-Stuart, Schley, Money
maker. There are other varieties
that have proven to be we'll adapted
to certain sections of the South, but
the three mentioned are recommend
ed for planting in this state.
Figs-Celeste, Lemon, Brunswick,
The Celeste is decidedly
the best fig for the Piedmont region
as it is more hardy than any other
variety. However, when the Lemon,
Brunswick and Magnolia are planted
in protected places they are seldom
seriously injured by cold.
Grapes-The grape is one of our
most dependable fruits, the crop
rarely being injured by frost. Grapes
should be planted more extensively
for local market as well as for ship
ping in carlots to the Eastern mar
kets. Bunch varieties-Moore's Ear
ly, Lucille, Niagara, Delaware, Con-
cord, Ives. Muscadine typerScup-
pernong, Eden, James, Flowers. The
Flowers is a very late grape and will
hang on the vine in good condition
until very late in October.
Blackberries.-E Eldorado. While
there are many other good varieties,
the Eldorado has given best results
in our trials.
Observation-Disclosures is decidedly
the best variety.
Raspberries. When raspberries
are planted on a northern or western
slope on very rich soil and mulched
with straw or leaves, good results
will be obtained. The following va
rieties hav proven best in our trials:
Cuthbert, GREGG, Cumberland.
Strawberries.-For extra early
berries plant the Excelsior; for main
season the Lady Thompson and

 CONSTITUTION
 DAY IS URGED

Instructions have been issued from the office of the commissioner of edu- cation to all schools in the Territory for the observance of Constitution Day, September IT. All schools are urged to hold fitting ceremonies mark ing the occasion.
 A letter addressed to superintend- ents, principals and teachers by Com missioner l.. D. Henderson on the sub ject said:
 September seventeenth marks the 18th anniversary of the formal adop- tiop 0f the Constitution by the Con stitutional Convention which met in Philadelphia from May to September, 1878. In keeping with the practice in augurated two years ago, the day will again be commemorated in the schools of the Territory. The importance of Territory wide observance of the birth of this document which has moulded our nation and so profoundly influ- enced the governments of the world does not need to be urged upon the teachers of Alaska. It is common knowledge that the average American is not interested sufficiently in the study of the principles of good gov arnment and the history, aims and ideals of America. The agitators, the malcontents and the enemies of con- stitutional government and authority are organized and are ardent dissem- inators of their type of propaganda. Good citizens everywhere now realize the necessity of combating false hood and misrepresentation with truth and knowledge.
 constitution Day affords an oppor- tunity for community gathering at which the history of the Constitution tc gether with it's bearing on individual liberty and national progress may be reviewed and the fundamental prin- ciDles back of the American idea of
 
 government set forth. It is hoped that each superintendent and teacher will organize for a public meeting in com memoration of the day and that the preceding week will be used in the schools as time in which to make the Constitution vital document to school children.
 Since the seventeenth of Septem- Der falls on Sunday there may be a question in the minds of some as to the proper time for public obserV' ance of the day. Each community must of necessity settle this problem for itself. A Sunday afternoon meet ing may appeal to some as preferaple to one held on either the preceding Friday or Saturday night"

FORESTRY MEN
 COMPLETE TRIP
 KATALLA ROAD

J. B. Reher. of the Bureau of Public on the gunboat Emma this morning from Katalla, after completing with M. L. Merritt, of the Forestry Depart ment, their reconnaissance of the pro- posed route for the road between Mile 39 and Katalla. Mr. Merritt, who con- tinued on into the Boring River region, will return to Cordova sometime next week. MT. Reher and MT. Galen re- port a successful and enjoyable trip. By striking across the upper section of the flats toward Goat Mountain, the party was able to avoid many Of the streams which cut the lower portion of the district, as we'll as the winds which, they say, the farther south one goes. becomes stronger. MT. Reher said that the country in that section IS largely gravel and therefore favorable to road building. Until the return or MT. Merritt neither MT. Galen nor MT. Reher would make statement as to the attitude of the officials toward the practicability of the road, though MT. Reher admitted that he found condl- tions better than he expected. As to whether the building of the road would be recommended, or the possibility of appropriations being made for It, nothing can now he said. At the best calculations the building of the road would probably require three years said MT. Reher, but whether the need will justify the necessary expenditure is a matter which has yet to be de- termined. On MT. Merritts return nextweek the matter will be gone over again with the Chamber of Commerce and upon the report rendered by the representatives of the Department or Agriculture will depend the question of the necessary appropriation.
