Good Crowd at Hall.

Good roads and ideal weather
brought capacity attendance at the
Shrovetide festival in the D. b. 5.
hall Monday evening. A short pro-
gram was presented from the stage
which was well received by the audi
ence. Then came the big event OF
the evening: Knocking the cat out
of the barrel; this however came to
a close just like a knockout in the
first round of boxing match. A
long line of sturdy men were lined
I'D to take a healthy wallop at the
barrel, but Kai Skov was the third
man in the line and with one power
full blow by him the entire barrel col
lapsed and he was declared king for
the evening and carried about the
hall. Coffee and buns were served
in the basement while the dance
floor was crowded continuously in
the main hall.

Natures Children
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) .

by the versatile hostess It takes six
pounds of fresh fruit to yield one pound
Of the dried.
When the tree is grown under
favorable conditions it is almost as
productive as the peach. And like all
fruit trees it has its abundant and
lean years. This trait can be overcome
to some extent by keeping the trees
well pruned and enough distance apart.
To be entirely successful with the
growing of apricots calls for specialized
training. Climate and soil are of
prime Importance. California has the
best paying orchards This fruit was
introduced into California by the
Mission Fathers. Vancouver found it
at the Santa Clara Mission in 1892
However, the apricot of that date is
a very different fruit from the one
that Is grown at present.
1t is said that all the known and
tried varieties of apricots in the world
have been introduced into California
in the last so years. The best of them
are now bearing fine crops and bring
ing in a satisfactory income to the
orchardists.
The arch foe of the apricot is the
curculio, the same troublesome insect
that goes after the peach and plum.
The insect is right on hand when the
fruit is ready to set. If steps are not
taken before this to spray the foliage
much of the fruit will be destroyed.
about seven and half tons of fruit to
the acre. In some climates the apricot
tree has been planted close to the
house and trained against it. Special
pruning must be done by experts. The
fruit is usually large and delicious.

respect in their eyes and certain
sadness. They knew the fate that
hung over the old man. They hated
to see him go.
