Sewer County PRIME Orchards.

Richfeld Censor: The newly planted
orchards in Sewer county bespeak
enterprise in q needed line. Last
Saturday evening Andrew Bertlesen
of Monroe finished planting 1000 prune
trees Several other AlonrOvians have
been likewise engaged of late. Ammon
Hunt is to have one orchard of 20
acres, largely prunes, while the Pioneer
Nursery company is preparing 80 acres
of land near Monroe for nursery. and
intend. in a few years, to supply all
trees for the southern counties from
Monroe. But Monroe is not the only
town that has taken to planting trees
with zeal. Glenwood is following the
same wise plan and Bishop H. H. Bell,
.. F. Pierson, A. X. Hanson and others
have planted several orchards COM
posed mainly of prunes. Several have
also planted orchards in Richfield.
Every year the northern part of
Utah imports car load after car load
of California prunes and the object of
the movers is to supply this excellent
fruit from Sewer county and thus fur
nish a source of bringing money into
our county. AS soon as these trees
begin to bear there will be several
dryers-at least two brought into the
county to put up the fruit. Meantime
several are learning all that is possible
about prune culture and packing and
the curing of the product so that
Sewer county will in time prove itself
a powerful factor in the dried fruit
market of northern Utah, southern
Idaho and other places close around.
For some time horticulture has been
at a low ebb in Utah and the young
orchards of western Colorado were
beginning to tell US that we would
soon be getting fruit from the valley of
the Grand, but there seems to be a
waking up and what is best OF all is
that Sewer county should be the first
to take a right lively interest in this
a much needed beginning to produce
our own dried prunes. Nor is this the
only line in which we are leading out.
The number of eggs imported from
Kansas has been pointed 10 many
times, and Utah farmers have been
asked why these were not produced at
home. Already the people are begin
ming to realize the fact that the few
eggs coming in every day are pro-
duced with very little feed for the
fowls, and sooner or later Sewer county
can be looked to as one of the fiercest
competitors that the east viii lave for
the home market of nofhern Utah.

Experimenfs with Peas.

II has been demonstrated beyond
question that peas viii enrich land
more rapidly than any other crop. Di-
rector Emery of the Montana expert
ment station made trial Of peas on a
ten-acre tract of land and cheerfully
indorses the statement. The land had
been cropped in grain steady for a
dozen or more years and was SO worn
out thai oats would not grow a foot
high on il. The crop of peas were sown
through a seed drill. The peas came
up well and during the season were
irrigated twice. They grew 10 a good
height and were in bloom when a wind
storm laid them down A week later
ii was noticed that the pea field had,
risen up and soon afterwards second
wind storm again fiattened them to the
ground. Supposing that the crop
would be a loss, no further attention
was given it until harvest time, when
it was decided TO make the best of the
job of harvesting. A moving machine
was used and when the work got under

Kansas City. May 2S.-In explanation
of the liquidation, Mr.. J. K. Burnham,
president of the Metropolitan National
in an interview tonight, had this to
say:
while on the face of the transac-
ton it is merely a voluntary liquida-
ton and the winding up of the affairs
of the Metropolitan National, it is ac-
tually and practically a union Of two
of the most powerful financial institu-
lions of the city,
Though such are the statements
made by interested bank officials 1t is
known that the Metropolitan National
has been doing a losing business for
six months past. The failure of the
Missouri National bank six months
ago, was the cause of a lively run
upon the Metropolitan. and though
the bank weathered the storm at that
time it's business since has not been
profitable. The terms of the consolida-
ton are not made known but il is
stated tonight that the transaction has
been effected at a loss to the stock
holders in the Metropolitan National.

HOME MISSIONS
The Subject of the Executive Committee of the Woman's Missionary Union,
 Now In Sesslon at Wilmington.

Wilmington, N. C., May S.-The Wo- mans Missionary union opened at 9:30 a. m. with prayer service led by Mrs. J. Johnson, of Mississippi. State reporis were heard from Missouri, Mississippi Maryland, LouisiaEn Tennessee, South Carolina and North Carolina.
 The executive committee of the Wo- mans Missionary union reported as fol- lows:
 "Firs., believing that the recommenda- tons of the home, foreign and Sunday school boards are the results of prayerful study of the needs of the various Solit1- ern Baptist convention fields, we heartily commend them; and suggest that the amount asked for by each be apportioned among the different states.
 Second, trusting the promises of God that the Holy Spirit will be given to those who ask, we suggest that we con- tinue to unite in special prayer for the work and workers during the first week of January; also, that one week in the year be observed with special prayer and gifts for the needs of the home board. We recommend the use of the mission card daily as a valuable source of information and inspiraeion.
 Third. apprecating. that the b.st members of the church are those who
  call attention to the necessity of forming societies for young women and girls and again advise the appointment of a band superintendent i'm each state which has no. previously appointed one.
 Fourth, knowing 1t to be Gods desire that all shall be saved, we are impressed with the responsibility of work among | the colorad people and Foreigners, and recommend that mothers meetings and industrial schools be organized wherever possible, that personal work among those with whom we are in daily touch in our home earnestly be prosecuted.
 Fifth, convinced uhat knowledge means power. interest and zeal in mis- sion work, we recommend the constant use of the publications of the Sunday school board at Nashville and those of the Maryland Baptist mission rooms, also the Foreign Mission Journal and sta te religious papers, and Kind Words as specially interesting for young peo- pie. ,
 Sixth. knowing that central commit tees are enabled to do more correspond ence and to distribute more literature when provision is made for postage, we urge careful consideration of the sub ject and the adoption of the preferred plan to secure sufficient funds
 The report was adopted unanimously.
 Adjourned until 3 D. m., Sunday.

 Next came an address on What the Conservation Service Should Be" Rev. J. w. Mckinley, of Thomas, in which many valuable suggestions were made looking to more efficient and valuable consecia- ton services.
 MT. Wm. Shaw, of Norton, followed, propounding the questions, What Are You Doing? How Are You Doing It?' These questions were responded to by many of the delegates present and elicit ed many important facts as to what the individual societies are doing and the special methods which are being adopted in the Endeavor work.
 It was shown that three young men are being prepared by the societies for the ministry That efforts are being made with marked success for retaining those who have been victims of strong drink That large sums have been raised for home and foreign missions in addition to work done in direct connection with the home churches.
 Christian Eudeavor Extension"-Dr Chas A. Merrill, of Woodlawn, delivered an excellent address on this subject in the course of which he placed special emphasis on organi2a tion of local unions and urged the support of all members in the interests of the state organ of Chris tian Endeavor, the Alabama Endeav- orer and the organ of the United society, The Golden Rule.

Athens, May S.--The Turks have com pletely occupied and burned Velestino. Al 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening the de feat of the Greeks was compiste and the pass to Volo open to the Turks The searchlight of the warships on the bay flashing up the mountain side were of great assistance to the Greeks, showing up the road in th= intense darkness. A dozen cannon were abandoned and cap tured by the Turks. Two hundred wound- ed soldiers were brought to Volo.
 The correspondenl of the Associated Prsss is of the opinionsthat many of the Greek wounded soldiers are left on the field It is impossible to estimate the number of killed and wounded.
 Advices received from the front up to 3 o'clock are to the effect chat Gen. Smolenski's forces were shattered and cut in two. The left wing retired to AL miio, and what was left ofehe right wing came toward Volo broken and d'emor- alized. The rereat across the mountains was almost as had as the panic which resulted in the change Of base from Tyrnavos to Volo. The scene of the re- cent panic was wild and almost inde- scribabfs. On Thursday and Friday the populace filled the streets of Volo with their household goods. The peasants from surrounding villages fled 10 the  Briganoage became common. Five steam CTS wers completely filled with refugees. Scores of caiques carried fugitives to the islands.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press succeeded in getting on the last steamer. On this boat were 1860 men, women and children, packed thick as her rings.
 The Associated Press representa- tive landed at Chaus, and from that place drove to Athens. Dispatches received here from DoEno- kos, the headquarters of the Greek army, today, say say that the Turkish cavalry in making reconnaissance, approached within two hours of Domokos, but re- treated on the approach of the Greeks, who followed the Turkish cavalry to the advance posts of the enemy's lines. 7n
 Prince Constantine's forces occupy all the defiles through which the Turkish troops must pass when they advance, notably those of Agorani and Tiamassi
 The inhabitants of Domokos are going into the interior. "
 The admiral in command of the Greek squadron at Volo telegraphed today that t;:s French, British and Italian warships roinma nders have had a conefrenoe at Veestirio with Edbem Pasha, the Turk-l ish commander. The latter promised to respect the inhabitants and property at Volo, provided the Greek squadron en- gagged to refrain fron hostilities and re fred beyond range. The Greek ad- miral accepted these terms.
 All the foreigners at Volo have em-e parked for other ports and the town is empty now. ~
