Michigan Fruit Var eties

At the state horticultural society
meeting at Grand Rap DIS, last De-
cember a special report was given by
which IL was hoped to give fruit men
an idea Of the best varieties of fruit
To grow in western Michigan and
help solve the problem of Standard
eaton Of fruit. In a 60 carload ship
ment says w. c. Dutton, M. A. c.
snec alist, were 80 varieties of fruit.
The fruit growers are divided into
two groups, car load shippers and
local producers and the varieties
should be cons derea with reference
to need of grower.
Be'ow are the lists as RECON-
mended: Wealthy, Mcintosh, CIR m
es double worked, Snow, Johnathan
r. l. Greening, Wagner. Steel Red,
Northern Spy, Hystop Crab.
Elberta peach, the only peach mem
toned
Pear, Clapps Favorite IS. w.
Michigan), Bartlett, Howell, Keefer,
Boss and Seckel.
The general crop report for the
year shows that the number of
bearing trees have decreased nearly
10 per cent in the last few years and
this season should be one to change
the tide by making substantial plal
ings.
Belding should continue to forge
her way toward the top as fru t
center.

Auiator Who Planned
Flight Around World
Dies In Plane Crash
Continued from Page one1

Safety first" with due regard to
the accomplishments of the task be-
fore him, was his motto in the air.
Captain Sir Ross Smith sprang
into prominence in 1919 when, ac-
companied by his brother, Sir Keith,
he made a flight from England to
Australia, 1880 miles winning a
prize of $4,000 from the Australian
government. Both aviators were
Knighted for the feat.
Captain Smith saw distinguished
service in the world war, first with
the Australian forces in Egypt and
Gallipoli, and later with the Aus
tralian flying corps in Egypt and
Palestine. He was one of the British
1918, made the first flight from Cairo
to Calcutta.
The route of the flight around the
world which the brothers expected to
start from Croydon. near London,
April 25, was by way of France,
Egypt, Asia Minor, India, China, Ja-
pan and Siberia, thence jumping to
North America at Bering straits
with landings on some of the Aleu-
tian Islands and at Unalaska in
Alaska, thence across Canada to the
Soos swinging there to the southeast
to New York and continuing along
the New England coast to Newfound-
land for the jump across the Atlantic
to Ireland.
The ayiators expected to cover the
21.500 miles in 240 hours of flying
spread over a period of three months.
Their machine was of the hydroair-
plane type. fitted with wheels for
alighting on land and propelled by an
engine of 400 horsepower.
Secrecy surrounded plans for the
trip because it was privately financed.
The British government officially an
nounced that it was not contributing
a penny to the undertaking. The
cost was estimated at $500, 600, or ap-
proximately $40 a mile.
Vickers. Ltd. constructed the plane.
It was a new type, known as the
Vickers Anphibian. 1t had wheels
and pontoons so it could land on
either land or water.
Similar Amphibians are being
built by Vickers for the Japanese and
United States governments for use
on the Pacific.

MAUNDY THURSDAY
IS OBSERVED BY THE
SCOTTISH RITE CLUB

Exercises pertaining to the Eek
tinguishing of the seven candles" in
observance Of Maundy Thursday were
held at 1880 O'Clock last night In the
banquet room of the Shrine audi
torium by the Scottish Rite club OF
Maricopa county. The ritual which
is obligatory upon all Scottish Rite
Masons, was attended by a large
number of the members Of the order
who live in the valley. A business
meeting and election of officers for
the ensuing year followed the exer-
ctseS.
Judge Frank Thomas, president of
the club, as master had charge OF the
observance ceremonies. He was as-
sisted by the following members OF
the club 3. E. Marks, secretary; j.,
]. Sweeney, treasurer; Luke Hender-
SON, junior warden; Quinn Anderson,
senior warden; and Judge Fred w.
Perkins, orator. r. r. Washburn was
appointed almeter for the occasion
and took up the customary coliec-
tion which Is to be given TO some
charitable organization In the city as
deemed best by the almeter.
Dr. Philip Y. Pendleton, pastor OF
the Central Christian church, was the
speaker for the evening and his ad
dress was based on the meaning OF
Maundy Thursday, which he said was
evidently derived from the last mans
date given by the Savior. This man
date, DR.. Pendleton said, was "Ye
shall love one another"
The following officers for the en-
suing year were elected and will be
installed at the next regular meeting
Of the club: Quinn j. Anderson. presi-
dent: Charles w. Morton, secretary;
and e. X. Folz, treasurer. Following
