The Kind You Have Alwajs Bought Signature of MARKET GARDENS. Lettucs and Other Products as Grown on a Large Scale. A feature of, the recent annual Tcee. ing of the Massachusetts state board of agriculture was a visit to the mar ket gardens of Warren W. Rawson in Arlington. The magnitude of the scale on which this work is being conducted is a revelation to one coming from tbe west The plant covers some forty acres of ground. The greenhouses cover about eight acres. Some of them inclose half an acre and some are smaller. At the present time lettuce is being grown In these greenhouses to a great er extent than any other garden plant It is certainly a novel and pleasing sight to walk into a greenhouse cover ing half an acre on a cold day In De cember in which are growing In the most perfect form some 36.000 plants of lettuce, approaching that stage which fits them for being marketed. The vigorous and healthy appearance of the plants formed a picture that was particularly pleasing. The most perfect order is observed in planting them, so that when fully grown tbe ground Is completely occupied. The plants are kept entirely free from the growth of weeds of any kind. Some three crops of lettuce are grown In some of these greenhouses in one year. and also a crop of cucumbers In addi tion. In other houses such products as parsley were being grown. The visitors were also shown immense beds in which celery was stored away for winter use. These beds were cov ered with a protecting roof, which was elevated two or three feet above the lettuce, and over these was a light cov ering of waste litter. The productive power of land thus utilize Is very great Just Imagine 36,000 plants growing on half an acre of land! When these plants are sold they fetch 50 cents to $1.50 per dozen, ac cording to the condition of the market. Of course the expense of growing and marketing them must be very consid erable, but there can be no question about the marked profit that must come from growing these products on a scale so large, writes Prof essor Shaw In New England Homestead. CURL LEAF. Spraying For Control of This Disease of the Peach. A very important complication must be considered In spraying for blight control. This is the occurrence of an other peach disease, the curl leaf. The effects of this trouble are too well known in California to need descrip tion. The control of the disease Is very successfully accomplished by spraying in February or March, just before the buds unfold, but a time which Is too late for blight prevention. Treatments Given. In the experience of 1905 the one fall spraying controlled both diseases a most satisfactory condition. In the spring of 1907, however, a very viru lent attack of curl leaf occurred, es pecially In the lower Sacramento val ley, while the blight fungus proved somewhat less active than in the pre vious season. The result of this attack is plainly shown by the results of spraying viz. that the November or December appll cation did not entirely hold the curl leaf in check, although as successful as before with the blight. Conse quently some orchards sprayed prop erly and successfully for blight were badly Injured by curl leaf, while oth ers sprayed later were protected from curl leaf. All that had been expected of the blight treatment held good when its effects were differentiated from those of the other disease, but the necessity of two sprayings rather than one for the positive control of both diseases has become evident Prune if possible before spraying, but do not delay the work on account of pruning. It is recommended by the California experiment station to spray again for the prevention of curl leaf about Feb 15, or just before the buds open, with bordeaux, 20-20-200, or lime, salt and sulphur. The Albemarle Pippin. The apple which has made Virginia famous at home and abroad is tbe Yel low Newtown, otherwise known as the Albemarle Pippin. Whether nomologists accept the name Albemarle Pippin or persist installing this apple tbe Yellow Newtown makes little difference, for it will always be known by Virginians and In the trade by the name of Albemarle Pippin. The high state of perfection attained by this apple fully merits this distinction and the almost fabulous prices often received for It It is not usual for our growers to sell their fruit for $10 per barrel, and sometimes it brings as much as $12, $15 and even $20 per barrel, about two to three times as much as the average red apple. Pro fessor J. S. Phillips. As a Dairy state. California has a soil and climate so varied that all fruits, both deciduous and citrus, can be grown to perfection. All kinds of cereals are grown with access.' California has also great poa IblUtiM ai a dairy '4ta. TO CUT UP DIDOS. Some Speculation as to the Origin of the Phrase. The phrase "kick up didos" for the plural is formed either with or without the "e" is allowable. It occurs, for example, in Quiller Couch's "Delectable Duchy," but the more common form is "to cut" or "to cut up didos."' The word is a dictionary one. Dr. Murray says that it is "United States slang." He defines it as a prank, a caper, a disturbance, a row, a shindy. He quotes, as the earliest use in Eng lish literature, this sentence from "Sam Slick In England" (1843-4): "Then Italian singers recitin' their jabber and cuttin' didoes at a pri vate concert." He says that the ori gin of the word is uncertain. But Haliburton used the term in "The Clockmaker" in 1835, and Professor Joseph Wright in his "English Dialect Dictionary" says that the term is known in Ireland, Kent, Isle of Wight, Cornwall and also in the United States. Halibur ton used it with reference to altfova Scotian: "I met a man this morn in' from Halifax, a real conceited lookin' critter, all shines and di does." Professor Wright gives as the first definition a disturbance, noise, fuss, as in the speech heard on the Isle of Wight, "He kicked up a middlen dido about it;" then plural tricks, antics, eccentric feats as in Kent, "Dreckley ye be backturned, there he be, a-cutting all manner o' didos," and, lastly, a plaything; also used as a term to denote articles which do not give satisfaction to the owner, as trim ming on a dress or bonnet. Yet the learned Professor Wright does not .venture to explain the der-' ivation of the word; he does not suggest a possible derivation. Did the term come from the fuss made by Qneen Dido after the pious Aenas ' lef ther ? TA" "obsolete ""word "dido" a thrice told tale may have been originally "a tale of Dido." Tait in his "Quanternios" speaks of a Didonian curve, with reference to the story of Dido, who bargained for as much land as could be cov ered with a bide and then cut the hide into a long and narrow strip. Why not say glibly that "to cut up didos" is to cut up as Dido did? Let us honor the name of that no ble dame in every way. Boston Transcript. One Kind of Economy. "Some people have queer ideas of economy, don't they?" said a Wall street man. "The other day I was waiting with a man on an U sta tion to go downtown. He saw a friend on the opposite platform and called over to him to come across and go down with him to his office on a matter of business. The man said he would, and after asking the ticket chopper to pass the word over that his fare was paid, he handed out a cigar to the chopper and came over to our. side. He was greeted with a laugh by the man who had called to him and naturally asked what it was for. Didn't you 'give that ticket chopper a fifteen cent cigar?' asked the friend. The man admitted that he gave the kind he usually smoked. 'Well,'' said the other, 'why didn't you just come across without saying anything about it, pay your fare and save a dime?' The man rubbed his chin and looked serious. He had become so accustomed to tipping everybody for any sort of favor that he never thought of the other plan." New York Press. On the Map. Two women chanced to meet on a street -car in Chicago. "Why, how do you do, Mrs. Thompson?" ex claimed one of them. "I called at your house one day last week, and there was nobody at home." "We've moved, Mrs. Giles," said the other. "Didn't you know that ?" "No. When did you move?" "About two weeks ago. We got tired of living in. all the noise and bustle, and we went away out in the suburbs." "What direction?" "Northwest." ' "And where are yon located now?" "It's a new neighborhood, Mrs. Giles, and I can't describe it exact ly, but if I had a map of the city here I could show you. -"We live just about half an inch outside of the city limits."

Fulwood and occurred before Atlanta dur ing Sherman's siege of that city. One evening Howard proposed to Fulwood, his chief ot staff, that they take a stroll through the camps of the "contrabands" loca ted in the rear of our lines. Joieed by several young men of tbe staff they set out and pres ently came upon a large tent in which tbe negroes were holding Teligious services under the lead ership of a negro preacher. Howard and his companions entered tbe tent. In dne time the preacher proceeded to close tbe meeting with prayer. He prayed for tbe divine blessing on "massa Lincum as bis sojers," Then he fervently prayed that "tbe gcod Lswd would bless massa genral Howard, an in good time take him to bebben wbar one ob him aims am already gon befoah." During bis invocation Howard looked grave, while tbe young (-fficeis tcarcely restrained tbeir mirth until tl ey passed out when they joined in lai gbfer. Howaid pertly tbidtd trem snd quietly said : "I 6rd it creased incen tive id lij. tr lhirg in that pcor crtaturi's jraxeT." "How is that, GtneTt)?" shked Fulwood. "It one of ny srms fcasalready gone to besveti it wcnld be most nnfortura e if tbe rest of my body should lot.jo n it," as How aid's reply.

Dated at Corvallis, Oregon, this 3rd day of February, 1908. "Yours truly, Geo. W. Denman, County School Superintendent, Benton County, Oregon. An Old Corvallis Man. A friend of Harry Holgate has handed ia the following item, which we are pleased to give space : ; Harry L. Holgate returned to bis home in Klamath county, Thursday, after a week's visit among Ccrvallis relatives and friends. Since leaving tbe Gov ernment service three or four years ago, he has taken an active pait in the development of that progressive, prosperous section ot Oregon known as tht Klamath country. He is now conducting a bank at Bonanza, a rapidly de veloping town about 25 miles, from Klamath Falls. Harry is one of the tactful,, brainy young men of the stale and we are glad to learn that he is doing well. A recent dispatch to the Oregonian -states that be will be a candidate for joint sena tor from Klamath, Crook and Lake counties. He is popular and a hustler and should make a good showing in the coming pri maries. His familiarity with the need" of Oregon coupled with hia unusual experience in the prepar ation of laws and the handling of legislation make him an excep tionally well qualified person for -tbe place. Besides this he has at statewide acquaintance among men of standing and influence which would be of invaluable aid to him in securing legislative ac tion. As he is an old Corvallis boy and a graduate of tbe OAC, his many friends here will anxiously watch bis campaign for the nomi nation and earnestly hope for his success. Jersey Bull For Sale.
