GLOUCESTER. Th* Greatest Fishing C*nt*r In th* United 8tats*. Smyrna Figs. Smyrna figs ripen by the beginning it August. They are not picked, but when they reach a certain maturity they begin to dry. «nd consequently they drop on the ground. In the morn Ing everybody on the plantation* goes around with buckets gathering the fruit, which they carry to a certain place where the ground is covered with dry leaves and straw (sergcli and on which they spread the fruit, exposing it to the sun, allowing it to remain there from two to three days It takes about three days to dry the fig if north winds prevail, as the at mosphere is then very dry. If. how ever, westerly winds are blowing, which means heavy dew at night, the fruit must remain exposed to the sun from five to seven days. This is a dangerous period, as rain or even a shower might ruin hundreds of tons of fruit lying on the ground. Heavy dews sometimes are just as detrimental. The proper atmospheric conditions to Insure a crop of large, sound, rich figs are west winds in June and July, fol lowed by north winds in August, and from then on an occasional west wind every five or six days.
