FIG TREES YIELD
CROIP FEW MONTHS
AFTER BEING SET OUT
That certain varities of figs will
come into bearing less than six
months after being set out has been
demonstrated at the Myers residence
jjn W^st Brownsville, according to
the Herald. Mr. Myers set out a
number of fig cuttings early in
March, and gathered in first figs in
June. The second crop is now mat-
uring, one of the small trees having
\ sixty well developed figs on it.
Figs should makb a good commer-
cial crop in the Valley, Mr. Myers
says, and he expressed the opininon
that when the trees are two-or three
years old they will prove a very pro-
fitable investment.
JUST AS THE SUN WENT DOWN
.. —o— •
After the din'of the battle’s roar,
Just at the close of day—
Wounded and bleeding upon the
X field,
Two dying soldiers lay—
One held a ringlet of thin gray hair,
One held a lock of brown—
Bidding each other a last farewell,
Just as the sun went down.
CHORUS
Ore thought of mother, at hpm«
alone,
Feeble and old and gray;
One of the sweetheart, he left in
town,
Happy and young and gay.
One kissed a ringlet of thin gray
hair,
Bidding farewell to the Stars and
- Sftrip^s, *
Just as the sun went down.
One knew of the joy of a mother’s
love,
One of a sweetheart fair—
Thinking of home, they lay side by
side,
Breathing a farewell pray’r;
One for his mother, so old and
‘gray,,
One for his love in town—
They closed their eyes to the earth
and skies,
Just as the sun went down.

many instances do not know to what
extent citrus fruit is developing.
As an evidence of what is taking
place here along this line, it has just
beein reported that Joe Abraham, an
oil magnate of Brisco, Oklahoma, has
contracted with John H. Shary, of
the purchase of 225 acres of citrus
fruit lands, and this entire 225 acres
will be set out in one immense fruit
orchard, seventy-five per cent of the
trees to be grape fruit.
This will be one of the largest in- •

the entire Valley, and will include
something over 16,000 t. ees.
