i mprovement on the old method of showing varieties on plates.

ty horticultural societies. If there is not already a Society or Fruit Growers’ Association in your county, organize at once and prepare to have your county officially., represented. There is no limit to the number which may be entered. A hundred boxes each of your ten leading varieties, with a variety display of five trays each, of all your good varieties, would make a creditable county display. 6. Individual Orchard Class. — Any firm or individual owning bearing orchards in Indiana quay enter such orchards in this contest. Theie will probably be a minimum of 50 bushels required to enter this class. The foregoing is only a brief outline. The premium list with the score card will be ready for distribution at an early date. Write fcr it. HOW TO SAVE FRUIT FOR EXHIBITION. Pick fruit by hand. Handle each apple as if it were an egg. Get it into cold storage with the least possible delay. Pick when mature and well cohired or as soon as the stem breaks off easily. Discard all detective apples. No scabby or worthy fruit will be* allowed to compete for a premium. The stem should not be pulled out. Wrap each apple separately and pack in barrels or boxes, each kind by itself. Save enough fruit so that, when arranging it for exhibition, you will have some to select from. For a bushel box save about a bushel and a half of fruit. For a tray, save forty to fifty apples. It may be desirable to pack some late varieties in the orchard. If this is done, be sure to use every possible care to get a good pack. For box and tray packing see that the fruit you save is carefully graded and all of the same size-and. ookr. .It is impossible to make a first-class pack with various sized fruit. Study how to pack apples. The judges will surely consider the excellence of the pack as well as tl e excellence of the fruit. This is an Indiana show. Only Indiana grown fruit can compete. There will be no entry fee required for exhibits. Exhibitors will be required to purchase an exhibitor’s ticket at $1.50, which ticket will be good for free admittance to each session of the show. Alb exhibits should be forwarded to the “Indiana Apple Show,” care of Indiana Refrigerator Co., Indianapolis, Indiana. The Show Management will take care of all storage charges without expense of the exhibitor. The Show Management will not be responsible for any transportation charges. Be sure that your express charges are prepaid. Be sure to put your own name plaifily on the outside of every package you send. Remember that there will be several hundred “other fellows.” The Show Management has arranged to have a supply of standard bushel apple boxes on hand, as well as a supply of standard sized for the tray exhibits. These will be furnished at cost to exhibitors. Boxes and trays may be secured at any time before the show from W. B. Flick, Lawrence, Ind. Exhibitors will notify Mr. Flick at once as to their probable requirements. For further information address C. G. Woodbury, Secretary, LaFayette, Ind. DR.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM ! OUR ffIIENDS ABROAD I Varbitzo, Germany, July 25, 1911. Syracuse Journal: Since writing you on board the Caronia so much has happened we don’t know where nor how to begin to tell it. It has been one continual moving picture show, with a constant change of films. Queenstown, Ireland, was the quaint little seaport town where we first landed and took a drive around town in a two-wheeled vegetable vender’s cart, drawn by one little, old, gray, lop-eared donkey. Queenstown is built on the side of immense rocky hills, so all of our trip was decidedly up and down. Once while climbing a steep hill past St. Colman’s cathedral, our harness broke, and we having no emergency brakes to apply, were saved a rapid descentjbackward down hill by two strong Irishmen.coming to our aid, with Mr. Fick’s assistance, holding donkey and cart’together until the necessary repairs were made. The town, while having an excellent harbor, contains very little in the way of business enterprise. It derives its main sustenance from the fishing industry and tips from tourists, hence the place seems very poor and its narrow streets are overflowing with begging men and, women,, dirty children and barking dogs. Everybody flocked to the windows and into the streets to see the “Americans,” and we were given quite an ovation. After two hours spent in sight-seeing we drove down to the Great Western Railroad and at the “booking office” (not ticket office as in America) we “booked” for Cork. ♦ I wish I could describe to you plainly a railroad station, the trains, engines, coaches, etc., of Europe. The engines are tiny things in comparison with those at home and whistle like the babv engines on the little railroad in White City and Winona. The coaches, well, the the only thing we could think of in comparison was Poyser, the Cromwell liveryman’s old hack. That, minus the driver’s seat, with a door in each end, set across the track, with two other hacks just like it fastened on each side, would make the usual “railway carriage” of Ireland and England. Traveling in Europe is either first, second, third and sometimes fourth class. First class tickets cost twice as much as third class. We being of inquisitive minds, tried all with this decision: The first class carriage has the two long high-backed seats cushioned in red and a 6x12 mirror set in the sides, the second class has the same kind of seats minus the mirror, the third class usually has cushions of a slightly inferior grade and the fourth class no cushions at all. The first novelty we saw in Cork was a man walking across the top of each carriage turning up a small object in the center that looked like aa inverted quart tin cup, holding a lighted match down through it, and 10, and behold, the train lamps were lighted. Now when you smile over this as we did, please do not adds to it this old familiar American conclusion, “Irish, and in county Cork, sure, what more could you expect?” It is not typical of Ireland alone, but all of England, Wales and part of Germany as well. And should someone dare to joke you about any of your ancestors hailing from county Cork,. swell up with pride, throw out your chest and reply with Irish enthusiasm, “In dade and they wor, and it’s proud that I am of the fact, sor," for nol in all our travels have we found t place more beautiful. All of Ireland is beautiful—yes poor, misera (Continued on Last Page)

i SMOTHERED TO DEATH | I •• IN AJN OF WHEAT A sad accident occurred at the grain elevator Saturday afternoon when Junior-Buhheit, aged 11 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Buhheit, was suffocated in a bin filled with wheat. At about 3:30 o’clock Mr. John Richards, who does the pumping for the B. & O. railroad and elevates and loads grain for A. W. Strieby, opened the slide to a bin containing 666 bushels of wheat, to allow the grain to transfer to a car preparatory to shipping. Soon after the son of Henry Gordon came running down from the second story of the elevator and said the Buhheit boy hr I disappeared under the wheat, Mr. Richards knowing the h b’s peril, made all haste to shut oft lie running wheat and went to hi! rescue. It was soon discovered that there was no chance to save the boy’s life, as he had been drawn to the bottom of the bin by the suction of the grain and was underneath a mass of wheat at least twelve feet deep. The body was recovered after two hours and fifteen minutas by friends and neighbors and taken to J. W. Rothenberger’s undertaking rooms. Coroner Kelly was notified of the accident and on arrival here held an inquest, the verdict declaring death due to suffocation in a wheat bin and accidental. No blame was attached to Mr. Richards, as he was unaware of the boy’s presence at the elevator, and in the usual way had raised slide from the lower floor by a lever with ' a wire attached to it. The boys were in the wheat playing and young Buhheit taken down to his death by the running wheat. A funeral service was held at the home of his parents at 2:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. C. A. Wright, after which the remains were taken to Warsaw and shipped to Wooster, Ohio, for burial, which took place Tuesday. The parents of the boy, especially the mother, seemed to have a strange presentiment of some danger threatening this, their oldest son. Mrs. Buhheit had been unable to accomplish any work for two days, and worried especially about this child and tried to keep him with her. Seed Furnished For Tests. The Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station is prepared to furnish a limited number of interested farmers in Indiana, each of four or five leading varieties of win- ' ter wheat to test on their own 1 farms this season. 5 The quantity of seed of each va--5 riety sent is sufficient to sow a r tenth acre and will be furnished 5 without cost on condition that an honest effort be made to conduct 1 the test according to instructions ’ and report the result at the end of 1 the season. } Past experience shows clearly ’ that these local tests may be of ’ great value, as through them many 3 farmers are made acquainted with ? varieties which better suit their conL ditions, than those now in use. 1 Those applying first will be given f first consideration, fair distribution 1 o f course considered.

D. & 0. DOUBLE TRACKING AND OTHERJMPROVEMENTS The surveying corps of the Baltimore and Ohio R. R. Co., located here to direct the construction work consists of Mr. Crowe engineer, Kenneth Myers axman, G. E. Washburn, rad man and D. E. Wolfe chairman. They will open an office and work room at some convenient location and from this office the construction work will be directed. Important changes are to be made in the original grade which will result in the raising of the bridge over the channel about twenty eight (28) inches. This is what our town and the hotel and cottage owners have been working for these many years This alone, to say nothing of the results of double tracking, will prove of great commercial advantage to the town and convenience to the “lake dwellers.” The Grace Construction Co. employing a force of about 25 men are now at work on the grade east of town on the Kaufman farm where heavy excavating is to be done so as to obtain material for the long high embankment across the marsh east of Wawasee. The work will require about six months with their whole equipment employed continuously. We believe Syracuse has the champion young water craftsman in these parts. Owen, the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Striey, operates and guides his father’s launch either on this lake or through the channel to Wawasee or anywhere he happens to want to go. Monday morning he in company with two little girls not much older than himself took the launch and towed a rowboat out io Oakwood Park.

WATCH THE, WHOSE SCALE Will Rapp cut from a Carolina poplar tree growing on Huntington street a strip of the bark about six inches long and an inch wide from off a portion of the trunk of the tree covered with the Jose scale. Those pestiferous insects completely covered all the trunk and main tranches and were strongly imbedded therein and were about ready to emerge and pass to other regions for food and developement of a new colony. The destructiveness of these insects is too well known to the farmer and town dweller to need any argument as to what is our duty in this present situation. Within the past five years there have been set out within a radius of two miles of Syracuse a larpe number of fine peach, plum and apple orchards. These new and important enterprises are in danger cf extinction unless the breeding places of the insects are removed. The Carolina poplar is the home and breeding ground for the pests and it should be done away with at once. Our town board should take early action in the matter and we have no doubt but that the Board will find a reasonable remedy for the situation. Examine your poplar trees and note whether the trees have anv of the destructive insects If you find them some people have recommended a good sharp ax as being an all sufficient cure when industriously applied. For Sale—A good 6-room cottage, with good wood shed and well house, good cellar, on North Huntington street. A fine location and a bargain if taken soon. $750. W. G. Connolly.
