STATE'S MODEL ORCHARDS.
Several in Each County to Instruct
Farmers in Methods of Fruit
Culture.
It is important to the readers of
this paper to kuo.v that the Divis
ion of Zoology of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture con
templates establishing a number of
Model Orchards in this state (there
will be about five in each county.)
the object being to direct, in each
fruit-growing district, the care of
an orchard in an up to-date manner
and to show the public how to ob
tain the best results, especially in
pest control. Fruit growers or
farmers who will co-operate in this
movement, by permitting their or-
chards to be used for the purpose,
should write at once to Prof. II. A.
Surface, State Zoologist, Harris
burg, Pa., for information on the
subject. It is not proposed to take
an old and totally neglected orchard
and bring about a complete trans
formation, but to take under super
vision one that is in fair condition,
and assist the owner with expert
advice and attention in regard to
all matters pertaining to the man
agement of the orchard and the
suppression of pests. It is believed
that the value of the example of
one successful man in a neighbor
hood is beyond computation.
Should the methods in his orchard
prove to be the best, as shown by
indisputable returns of larger yields
and better products, it invariably
results in other persons adopting
the methods which have proved
most successful in that locality.
The owner of the orchard adopted
by the Division of Zoology will be
asked to provide himself with a
comparatively inexpensive spraying
ontht, which the division will help
him purchase at the lowest discount
price. The Division of Zoology will
outline a plan for his orchard man
agement. and furnish, without
charge, all materials used for in
struction and demonstration pur
poses, and also aid him in spraying,
pruning, thinning of iruit, planting
trees, cultivation, fertilization and
such other practical work as may
be necessary to secure the best re
sults. The public will be invited
to visit the orchard at least three
fimes in each year, and witness
demonstrations of spraying, prun
ing, planting, etc., and no orchard
will be accepted without a distinct
understanding in that respect. Here
is an unusual opportunity for ob
taining expert aid in orchard man
agement, of which no enterprising
farmer should fail to avail himself

evening showed the Wright aero

"Uncle Dave Holcomb."
The management of the Colum
bia Theatre has secured t he presen
tation of "Uncle Dive Holcomb"
for Monday evening, November
29th. This phy has been running
in the Gran 1 Opera House, Phila
delphia for several weeks pist, and
will be given here by the same
company.
Here is what the Philadelphia
Press says about it:
"A new rural play, entitled,
Uncle Dive Holcomb," with Wi'-
liam Lawrence, the author, as the
star, was disclosed at the Grand
Opera House. The audience re
ceived it with hearty favor, laugh-
1115 at its comedy, sympathizing
with its pathos and receiving a les
son of right living. Dave Holcomb
is an honest aud industrious farmer
of the Yankee type. To pay for the
education of his boy at college, he
has mortgaged his farm. When the
action opens the young fellow re
turns home, accompanied by a
chum. He endeavors to obtain
money from his father, who learns
to his horror that the boy is infat
uated with a woman of the stage.
The alternative of viving her up
or leaving home is presented to the
son. lie adheres to Ins intatuation
and Uncle Dave orders him away.
When the money, which Uncle
Dave had saved to pay off the
mortgage is stolen, suspicion rests
on the son; but the real culprit is
Dave s drunken brother, Hiram.
When the mortgage demands pay
ment, ruin stares Uncle Dave in
the face. Both son and brother
leave the old home. Another grief
awaits the farmer in the loss of bis
daughter, who is lured to the city
by her brother s oily tongued
friend. Uncle Dave's optimis'.ic
nature shines through these trials.
His humor and shrewd philosophy
sustain him.
. A wave of temperance in the vil
lage numbers Hiram among its
converts. He sneaks back home to
return the money while a great ral
ly is in progress. A beautiful scene
between the two brothers ensues.
The daughter also escapes unscath
ed from her adventure. It is ap
propriate that the reign of happi
ness should express itself in a coun
try dance with rural musical ef
fects. Mr. Lawrence gave a capital
impersonation of "Uncle Dave."
For five years he played "Uncle
Josh" in "The Old Homestead."
This is a similar role and one equal
ly appealing in its quaint humor,
and in its pathetic moments. Mar
ion Shirley impersonated the
daughter, "Grace," effectively.
She was last seen here as "Madge,"
of "In Old Kentucky." An excel
lent character sketch of the drunk
en brother, "Hiram," was given
by Thomas Meegan."
Mr. William Howard Taft is the
star optimist of this country. He
says he "expects great things from
the next session of Congress."
