How Stands Indiana 1 Tn -this connection the question Is forced—How stands Indiana? And the answer Is, that as a pension state, "according to population, she stands at the head of all the states of the union. Tt has been stated that Indiana f tKiishyd 208.367 soldiers for the civil war. and 183,881 survived its perils. Death has been busy thinning the ranks of these survivors at the rate of about .2.13 per cent for twenty-five years, leaving *'l 921 st ill marching, to the nritU, d drum I .its of their hearts, to their final discharge.

Their names and deeds are preserved in history, lint w-hat of tho ' rank, and tile" the common, soldiers the men who carried the, musket. did the fighting, won the victories and saved the unroll'.’ Tlnir narm-s are on the muster rolls.

FRUIT OF INDIANA INTERESTING DISCUSSION OF HORTICULTURE OF STATE. •—- — . Fruit Growing as Seen by Warder W. Stevens, President of State Horticultural Society;. I • . By Warder W. Stevens. .' Prr-sM.-nt of State Tl->rticultiir.. 1 S-Km-ty. There Is no truer saying thait that "we ■ kii-'-w lys3 abon* the tl.:i:'gS nejar us than : those far away." The possibillties of h-.-r---t-'-o-: Iture In- 1 n-liu t.'a are slmpl-. womb-r- 1 ' ful when we b--g;n seriously to Study the 'l'ios.ttcn. of fri.it growing. .Thorp is t o fruit except the citrus or tropi-ml vario- . ti- , that cannot ’-o grow.n within it- r borders with so;ne d greo of satisf.i : on; and profit. «'Tis t-:e there are ;-.r::--ns of I'clmvaro and 'icorgia tiiar arc r--w . pr,>dt;,.-!:.g mere '. -i-hels cf p- a- h- s th. in , we ar--. -zark regi. u< • f Mi. a mri d ■ outral Ulino'.s m. re appl-.-'.

I There’ are a few absolutely necessary conditions to make commercial orcb.ard- '- Inga success; these are clwap lands, nearness to. large rivers or, lakes, air drainage, suitable soils and mprket f.mil-itlt-s. The more of these essential eorditlons timt. can J.o emnl-med’ the n. r” i profitable will .be the. venture along'.h -r---ticultural . lines. Ail tin and down the. Ohio river there are to be. found ch-up lands with soils espccrally adapted to the growing of tree fruits and small fruits as well In the central part of the state, with Brown county its a center, we find cheap hill lands where most all kinds of fruit can. be grown abundantly and profitably. The lake regions of the North are bound to develop some profitable fruit i Industry when directed aright. These I lands will only remain cheap until en- ( terprising horticulturists discover their possibilities. Observant horticulturists have always known that hill or IPm'- land was best | suited to T.-irdlm-, 'hat fruit “hit" ; ofter.or and was-of better quality than In tl-.c v;:lb‘-y or,:Tat l.Liids.

development of horticiiltuiCe In . ludkina hns bt.-yn a long continued struggle. with little or no state aid. Most c’f our oldest and best workers have giv- n their long ■ lii'e, time, mo.uey and energy to the cause and are now peer. V\ e have their experience. and Vo a great extent it Is no lor ‘.t experimental. We i.ow need state aid as a necessity to place this experience with every one who owns land tiiat is ' adapted to fruit growing. Many hewer states devote yearly fair amounts for the furtherance of horticulture. Michigan, with nearl.v half her domain yet .covered with the original forest, appropriates s4.'>oo yearly .to horticulture, and even' the blizzard-beswept states of the northwest, where only small fruits can he successfully grown, main- liberal appropriations annually to the cause. Our last h gislature appropriated SI,OOO for the use of the State horticultural society. it ought to be made $4,000 or $5,000 by the • next general assembly. Through the enterprise of the State horticultural society Indiana now his the only experimental farm in the world devoted to the i.mprovemeat of the apple, the .leader of all fruits. Here the work of originating new varieeies is being carried on In rather a small wav, of- course, for lack of funds, but this farm, is being watched carefully by leading h u ticultiirists all over the world, and great Chings are expected from it. Another thing"- rs- 1 is more local horticuitur*'' ext, ending out into such parts ' ere fruit farming could b« .!W]irO,fitable. By these organizations 'tore.would l >an awakening to the possibilities of fndiana as a horticultural state, our fruit products would bo greatly multiplied and millions of dollars annually added to It income. Meanwhile, it is om duty. is well as it should be our highest aims as horticulturists, to go ahead In all lines of progress, letting our light shine into “the

dark places” as much as possible, be ever on the alert In our profession and hops for that reward that comes from good intentions and good, works, superinduced by .good and unselfish motives.
