WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-America
leads the world in writing letters and
making use Of the mails. according
20 f,gures announced at the Postofiice
Department today.
Did YOU receive 112 letters last
year? II you didn't you failed to get
your pro-rata- According 10 esu-
mates Just completed by the depart
ment. about 1885, 100000 letters
are now going through the mails OF
the United States every year. Fig
ured on this basis OF the last census
of the population OF the country
each citizen should have received an
average of 112 letters.
Upon these figures postofiice Of
hcials claim that the United States
leads the world in the interchange
OF letters between its people. 1t is
estimated that the per capita num-
her of letters exchanged In Great
Britain Is "a annually. OF other
tnportant countries Germany has
per capita exchange of 20, While
italians receive nearly as many, the
rate being "a per person.
ID These estimates are based on first
class matter alone. AS different
classifcations OF mail is in vogue in
foreign countries 1t IS impossible TO
obtain absolutely accurate figures
upon this question.
There is also a marked increase in
the use of the mails by the citizens
of the United States. BY an ac-
curate count made in 1907 ii was
found that 71Os,OOo,OOo first-class
letters were mailed in this country
indicating per capita exchange at
that time was IS letters annually.

PLAN FOR FRUIT
HOME GARDEN.
Trees and Bearing Bushes
Should BE Raised in Addition
to the Vegetables.
GROW CROPS BETWEEN TREES
Strawberries, R~aspberries, Blackber-
ries, G~ooseberries, currants and
Others May Occupy Same i
Space and Do Well.

The more general planting Of both
standard and small fruits In addition
to the home vegetable garden would
contribute materially to the health
and pleasure Of the average family
and furnish a supply of very desirable
fruit and fruit products at relatively
small cost. In many localities 1t is
extremely difficult to eeure a eontin-
uous supply Of fruits In pleasing va
riety by purchasing on the market.
and one Of the most important fea-
lures Of the plan for the home fruit
plantation Is the selection Of kinds
Of fruits and varieties Of those kinds
which will do well in the given local.
ity and which will serve best the pur-
pose for which they are desired.
The home fruit plot will necessarily
be planned from the standpoint of the
available space, the soil and climatic
limitations, and the needs of the fam
lily throughout the year. In many
cases 1t may be feasible to grow all
the fruit needed, but only that which
can be most readily produced. Among
the fruits that may be grown through
out the greater part Of the country
are apples, pears, peaches, piums,
Strawberries, blackberries and dew
berries. Raspberries, currants, cher
ries, ounces, apricots, figs and citrus
fruits are more or less restricted to
special localities. In colder sections
the winters are too severe for peaches
and all the fruits requiring a warm
climate, while in the warmer sections,
apples, currants, gooseberries, rasp-
berries and certain varieties Of several
of the other fruits fail because they
cannot withstand the long hot sum-
mers and winters.
The plan of the home fruit garden,
will, therefore, depend largely upon
the kind of fruits adapted to the To-
cality. On the whole, however. the
paintings should be SO arranged that
the larger growing trees such as apple,
peach and pear will interfere the least
with the cultivation of the smaller
fruits or the vegetable garden. In
some Of the most successful home
fruit gardens the larger trees are head
ed rather high, that is, 5 or 8 feet to
the lower branches, and a row Of small
fruits are grown directlz in the row
of fruit trees. Between the rows of
fruit trees. raspberries, biackberries,
dewberries and Strawberries are plant
ed In rows which are about s or 9 feet
apart. The vegetables are then grown
In the space between these rows of Der.
ries. Peach trees are, as a rule, plant,
ed as filters between apple and pear
trees. Where the area is extremely
limited the semi-dwarf varieties of ap-

Care should be taken, however, to
provide plenty of distance between the
large-growing trees, say 40 to 4s feet
for apples and 20 to 30 fee. for peach
es, pears and cherries.
Apples, pears, cherries and plums
may be planted as combination fruit
and shade trees, and by heading them
5 to Z feet above the ground. a lawn
may be maintained underneath them.
Plum trees are particularly adapted
