RAISE SMALL FRUITS

IMPORTANT POINT 18 TO FIND A READY MARKET. One Who Caters to General Trade I Often Compelled to Allow Conv mission Men to Dictate Priesa of His Products. One frequent cause of failure among I fruit growers la the fart that t' . crow fruit which come Into com- : ition with that which ia grown by the large commercial fruit growers, und at a time when the market Is full of common fruit The grower should have It firmly y, ttled In his mind whether he Is to l itaf to the family trade or place hla fruits upon the general or common markets of the large Tillages or cities. 1 ),.. commercial fruit grower would poor trying to grow fruit on a dwarf tree, while the small fruit grow- , - might find it profitable. Ttiere are numerous varieties of fruit which possess excellence in a marked degree, when marketed as B as they are gathered, but which are of little practical use to the comial grower on account of being too delicate to stand up during shln- ! tit It is lh selecting these timely inr l varieties and marketing them 1n nice condition that the small fruit , v r will often find large profits. The man with the small farm, who is growing fruit for a family trade, has a more definite iroblem. for his fruit Is desired by his customers acC rding to its intrinsic value and the 1 t "r the quality, the more money they are w illing to pay for his fruit. The grower for the general market many times Is compelled to put his excellent fruit In competition with the rar quality of fruit that is grown r.nd packed by other growers, the whole produce being sold on the same beets and the same prices realized by all shippers. In the general markets the grower are dependent upon the demands of the trade nt the time their fruit la ready to be shipped The small fruit farm owner who has worU. 1 up a nice private family or hot. ! r ide for his fruits is Independent rf the general or common market, os he knows Just what his customers want and ha to enabled to meat their demands. On tha other hand, the larger grower Is compelled to allow the commission trade to dictate the prices of his fruitn. and many times finds that a ear of his fruit has barely paid the expense of marketing. It matters little which line of fruit growing we undertake the years will not all be favorable for the business The special market Is the best one to cater to. for there are few growers who are looking after the needs of this market, and the demand for fruit of pronounced excellence Is rapidly increasing owing to the fact that the commercial growers are putting their fruit up for ma.ket In inferior condi tion. The competition is close and Is driving many to put their fruit up as cheaply as porsible without sorting out the Inferior This has a tendency to lower th? price of the entire product and Is driving the trade right Into the hands of the special grower who Is in a I ''"-Ition to supply a good article to Lis trade. There never was a time when good peaches, pears, apricot, plums, grapes and berry fruits would not command a premium over the grades that wer for sale In the common markets and all these facts go to prove that suc"s in fruit growing Is as much dependent upon finding the best marke's aa It is upon growing the best fruits.

Uy HKriHMC U 1'I TXASt) I'luros, too often an uncertait. i on account of curculio. may be easily grown every year unless destroyed by frost. This la especially true of the old damitoa plums, the rich flavor of which is too little known In the scramble for the newer Japanese varieties. Karly in .March while the ground Is till frozen hard, mulch heavily with horse manure This serves the double An Old Plum Tree Neglected. purpose of maintaining fertility and keeping the frost in the ground until the spring is sufficiently advanced that swelling buds will not get caught in a frost. Just before the buds open the trees should be thoroughly sprayed The writer has for a number of years used London purple without injurious effects to the foliage, a dessert spoonful to ten gallons of water Some of the other arsenates are said to be less injurious to the leaves, and are especially recommended for the peach, as arsenate of lead, the best, used in proportion to two pounds, 50 gallons of water, or paris green, one pound to 150 gallons, or ?0u gallons of water. By spraying just before the buds open and just after the blossoms fall, th re Is no danger of poisoning bets, and experience shows u to be best also for the fruit. The second spraying should be followed by a third, two weeks later. Small trees may be protected by daily jarring and gathering the beetles as they fall into sheets prepared for the purpose, but with large trees this method is scarcely practicable EFFECT OF THINNING PLUMS Burbank Tree Bears Heavy Crop Annually Little Care Required Except at Pruning Time. iU uns. 11 tL WOOJrWABOJ We have a small Burbank plum tree in its third year of bearing, from which we thinned two bushels of young fruit to prevent the breaking of the limbs. Fully aa much fruit remained and ripened beautifully. This plum bears a very heavy crop every year. That Is its only fault setting such a heavy crop that It causes the death of the tree unlea severely thinned. Those who have not the courage to properly thin the trees often find them dead the following spring. It Is a Japanese plum originated by Luther Burbank of California: and though he has originated many remarkaWe plums, this seems to be the best, all things considered. It is perfectly hardy everywhere, requiring little care except close care when pruning and thinning the fruit. The tree Is not handsome, being of sprawling growth and long, slender branches, and being flat on top and broad rather than tall The fruit grows In clusters, six ot aeven plums frequently being found together It Is a coppery red color, with yellow spots showing through, and the side toward the sun takes on a decided purple shade If left till fully ripe. The pulp Is deep yellow, coarse but Juicy, and the pit Is very small. The plums are fine for use when fresh, but also can well, the pulp ad bering to the pit so firmly that they retain their shape well when cooked. Planting Fruit Trees. The soil should preferably be In good tilth before planting, and the boles for the trees should be dug sufficiently wide and deep to receive all of the roots of the tree The harder the soli the wider and deeper tho holes should be. Pill In with loose, mellow earth, parking the soil well around tb roots. Avoid using sod or any coarse material, or the leaving of air pockets, as either will cause a drying out around the roots, which Is detrimental to the tree. T'se care and you will be repaid with a good stand of trees. Cow Is Very Susceptible.

DOUDLE LIFE OF VEIL

METHODS OF PRESERVING FRAGILE ACCESSORY. Careful Handling to Remove Wrlnklea I One of the First Requisites May Be Washed If Due Care Is Taken. The life of a veil depends entirely upon the way It Is manipulated when not in action. Few of us ever give) our veils hard enough wear whea they are actually in service to wear them out, but sometimes the careless handling of a day or so will ruin a veil that would last for weeks if properly treated Here Is a good practice for the preservation of veils that an economical Englishwoman has explained to her American frier.ds. Whenever yon take off a Tell, roll lt Now take the bottom of the veil in your right fingers and the top la your left fingers and give It a gentle pull to stretch any wrinkles, and after that do what yon please with It Yo may fold It over and pat it In your handbag if you choose, or In a crowded bureau drawer or In a traveling bag. Rut when you come to use the veil next time you will find that It ia in good shape. Ideally speaking, a wooden veil roll Is a splendid Instrument for the safe keeping of veils, but who takes the trouble to put the veil on a roll? And. of course. It Is the once you don't take care of the veil that does the damage. Never leave a veil on a hat that is. If you want to wear it a second time Of course, no woman likes to make a show of preserving the life of veils by spreading hers out every time she chances to remove it. Yet with a little dexterity she can roll It up as the economical little Englishwoman does. In a flash, and the life of the veil will have been doubled. Did you ever try to wash a veil Probably not. yet It is not a difficult piocess if the veil Is white, and with care a colored veil can sometimes be put through soap and water Always use a suds of pure white soap and warm, not hot. water, and don't leave the veil in the water for more than a minute. Rinse the veil in clear water after It has been In the soapy water, and allow It to dry- by pinning It out at the edges on a counterpane. Chiffon veils will lend themselves surprisingly well to a cleansing process, and tha woman who wears them for motoring or for seashore promenades will real Ize a decided saving if she knows the knack of washing them. Wedding Gowns. Silver brocades and embroideries are lavishly used on the exquisite bridal gowns that are being made for the many weddings arranged for the next few weeks. Satin mousseline. even finer and more supple than Charmeuse, ia practically the only fabric with silver brocaded gauze introduced, and white roses and lilacs are the favorite Horners for bridal bouquets. For the Small Girl's Coat. Separate collar and ruff sets are made for the small girl s coat. Torchon and Valenciennes, sometimes cluny and Irish point are combined In these collars and cuffs, and they give a particularly dainty and fresh appearance to the simple, dark coats of serge or gabardine or silk on which they are used. Hand Made Rugs. There is nothing more charming than home made rag rugs for the summer cottage, and it is surprising that more women do not take up this practical if old-fashioned handiwork. One can do the necessary dyeing and weaving at home and the utensils necessary are neither complicated nor expensive TO PROTECT DAINTY FROCK Ore-Piece Pinafore Almost an Essential in the Wardrobe of th Small Girl. A most useful addition to the child's wardrobe Is the one-piece pinafore, which, made to cover a dainty frock, can be slipped on and off at a moment's notice, thereby solving the problem of keeping the child presentable during play time, and also helping to curtail the weekly laundry bill B should be made in galatea. brown holland. linen or any washing material that resists hard water. The pinafore is slipped over the head, and the making of It up offers no difficulties whatever, for the piece of straight material Is just doubled ito the length of pinafore required i. and then shaped at the neck and shoulders. It Is fastened at the side with tapes, but little straps of the material fastened on one edge and buttoned on to the other can be used instead. Pockets, of conrse. should be added to the apron, for children delight In these, and small designs, such as fig ures. animals, flowers trees, etc.. may be worked cn them. It should be borne In Blind, however, that all materials employed In thee trimmings should be of a washable and durable quality. Parasol Noveltlts. Parasols with centers of plain taffeta and borders of plaid chiffon are among the latest novelties. These have j Inn handles tipped with amber or j name! to match a color of the plaid. Rlack and white In huge squares la the la' eat idea.

REVIVAL OF THE CAPE

This is one of the fashionable makes of the capes now in favor. It is built in crtpe brocade, with hood and sash of satin ribbon. The Pr.ama hat is trimmed with a black wing. DICTATES OF FASHION Plaitings of net are very much used : on the new caps for babies. Separate skirts of linen or pique I for golf or tennis are severely ; j in line and have patch pockets. Veils of extremely fine linen mesh I are worn over the small hats and . cover only the upper half of the face. The cap crown of moire, satin or taffeta finished with a heavy cording I ia a feature of many of the newest j hats. The tango nightgown Is the newest. and resembles a chemise and Turkieb trousers combined. It is said to be comfortable. Sashes and belts are a feature of children's dresses. Sashes are quite wide. Belts are of suede and colored and patent leather. Frocks of white taffeta have superseded the onee of white crepe de chine, so popular last season. They are trimmed with ruches, puffings and shirring Smart little eton jacketa of taffeta accompany children's frocks of crepe or batiste. These are sometimes bordered with small bullet buttons of coral, jet or amber. Insect Beauty Patch. In spite of the long run which beauty patch styles In veils have had they continue to be widely featured and to sell with considerable free dom There Is an effective beauty patch design in the new circular veil in the form of a handrun floral design, large enough to cover almost one entire cheek. All sorts of Insect beauty spots continue prominent Among the newest of these in a black bug on a flesh-colored hair-line. The body of the bug Is heavily embroidered on the mesh of the veil, but the wings are embroidered on a separate piece of net so as to hang loose from the veil. NEW AND STRIKING COLORS Some of the Prettiest That Have Been Offered for Many Seasons Are Now Available. The new silver green Is a lovely tint. It exactly resembles the color of a breaker Just before It topples over below Its crown of foam, and Is particularly effective In velvet and silk cashmere, broches and soft silks. In satin tts white lights are rather strong It is the prettiest shade of green that has been seen for many years, and will undoubtedly be popular Another new color that has caught on Is called "coq de roche." and is deeper and warmer than buff and has an affinity with tango tint But the union of black and white Is the most noticeable of the moment, and Scotch tartan Is In treat demand among thfashionable dressmakers It Is used for panniers and for frills, edging panniers of other material, also for the sash In some of its novel form, such as extending into a train, catching the folds of draped skirts, form Ing an Immense bow some inches below the waist at the back, occasionally even In front, with ends fslllng below the knee. One may see before long whole gowns composed of sash and stole, and nothing more. The New Plaid Bags. The new plaid bags are quite differ ent from the brilliant ones of the early spring They are made of gray or tan twilled fllk for the upper part, and with stripes in dull, soft colors for the lower part, and they are ended with a long tassel la the eolor of the top of the

REBEL LEADER RESIGNS General Villa Splits With Rebel Chief. Caranza

Officers Say The Will Have No Other For Leader Break Between the Heads Expected for Weeks. El Paso. Tex., June 17. Gen. Villa tendered his resignation to Gen. Carre nra within the last week, it became known last night. To Villa's message the Constitutionalist commander in chief replied asking who would succeed him. Following this. Villa's various military chiefs held a conference and sent a "round robin" to Carranra, declaring that they would accept none other than Villa as a leader. The split resulted. It was reported in official circles at Laredo that Villa has tendered his resignation as second chief of the Constitutionalists army to become governor of the state of Chihuahua, succeeding Fidel Avila, who Ml temporarily acting in that post. Rumors state that it is likely that Felipe Aneeles, now secretary of war for the Constitutionalists, will succeed Villa. The resignation of Villa is due, it is said, to Gen. Natera's attempt to take Zacatecas without orders. It is reported Gen. Carranza has called together chief army officers of various brigades under Gen. Villa for the purpose of selecting by vote a second in command to succeed Villa in the same way as the latter was chosen. The seizure of the offices in Juarez was taken here as conclusive evidence of the long-predicted split between Carranza, leader of the Constitutionalist revolution, and Villa, his most successful chieftain. Private advices received here at a late hour told of similar action in taking over Carranza offices at Chihuahua city and Torreon, evidencing placing the entire northern part of Mexico in the power of Villa's military leadera. Although Villa's persistent military successes had occasioned speculation regarding his relation with Carranza, the matter did not receive serious consideration until the 'appointment by Carranza of Gen. Panfilo Natera as commander of a newly created military zone. Natera's appointment placed him in charge of a strip of country which Villa previously had planned to invade, including the yet uncaptured city of Zacatecas. Natera attacked Zacatecas while Villa remained at Torreron, viewing the experiment from the rear. Then it was that Carranza requested Villa to rush to Natera's assistance. This was several days ago, and in the meantime reports continued to arrive of Naera's defeats. Villa remained at Torreron. STATE NEWS IN BRIEF.
