Mann, Dominion Experimentâ€" al Station, Summerland, B.C., the prescnt list of accepted standard varieties is very limited. Furtherâ€" more, ‘he quest is not necessarily for more varieties but for superior varieties. Progress in the fruit inâ€" dustry depends to a large extent on the introduction of the latter. Mcintosh Redâ€"Fifty Years Buperior varieties may be found on chance seedlings, as in the Mcâ€" Intosh apple an‘ the Alberta peach; or by bnd mutation, such as Turner Red Delicions appl~ and Fisher peach; or by â€" controlled €rossing, like Veteran peach and Jubilee apple. Even after a promâ€" Ising seedling or bud mutation is found, it requires years of testing under a wide range of soil, climâ€" ate, and cultural conditions before it can be accepted as a proven standard variety. For instance, it required 50 years to establish the Mcelntosh apple as a proven comâ€" mercial product. In considering the estion of old and new varieties of fruits, the improvement of fruits through selâ€" ection of the best wild seedlings has been carried on for centuries by horticultural scientists, and will eontinue as long as fruit is grown, In recent times, improvement has also heen sought by breeding, and the fact remains that varieties of fruits in use today are far superâ€" jor in quality to the original wild kinds from vhence they came.

That explained the wild shrick she had heard before the fall, the shrill terrorizing ery which had weakenâ€" ed to an agonized gasp as the rope choked off her breath, "Strangled. But why? Why would anyone do that to Amy ?" Dolan shrugged. "Because someone wanted to get her out of the way, of course. Someone wanted to be sure she was dead. Ho didn‘t take a chance on strangulation alone. It was too dark up there to be sure he‘d done the job thoroughly. Or perhaps he was in a hurry. So he threw her over the roof.

"He‘s a goodâ€"looking young man, wellâ€"mannered, and Amy enjoyed going out with him, and she had no friends here in the city, you see, and I suppose that she was glad that Harry took her to dinner and the theatre occasionally."

If she spoke so much about her aunt, why didn‘t she tell you that she was dead. Where‘s she been keepâ€" ing herself for the past four years, eh? Guess I‘ll have to do a little checking up in New Hampshire." Dolan made some more notes in the little black book. "Now about these young men who were visiting you last night," he proceeded. "What can you fell me about them ?" It would be a very simple funâ€" eral. Amy would not have wanted it otherwise. But Cilly was sorry that there would be so few people to say a last prayer over the grave of Amy. Just herself, perhaps. And Harry Hutchins, Maybe Mr. Ames, for whom Amy worked. "Oh, no. Not that!

"There was a Miss Harriet Kerr in Interlaken, but she died four years ago." Ciily‘s eyes widened. "You mean there isn‘t any Aunt Harriet?" "Hello!" he said authoritatively, "Can you give me your Interlaken operator on this line direct?" To Cilly he mumbled:. "Smail town. "What‘s that?" Sergeant Dolan demanded sharply.

"Possibly I didn‘t like the way he played bridge," Cilly offered. "But certainly I have no reason either to like or dislike him." Sergeant Dolan‘s shrewd eyes narrowed. "And you don‘t like him." "I didn‘t say that at all." "You don‘t sound very enthusâ€" jastic about him." Cilly shrugged her shoulders, "I don‘t really know what his work is worth.

The sole and the uppers were made all in one piece; the shoe was pull« ed over the foot and drawn up round the ankle like a purse.
