An IDEA N FRu,r GROWING

This has been great year for fruit,
and It's abundance has been fully APP
preciated by the people, who have been
liberal buyers even at high prices. The
dietary value of fruit can hardly be es-
timated, and 1t starts the query, why
not have an abundance every year? OF
course the horticulturists might be able
to give reasons from scientific point
OF view as to the rest that trees need;
yet some Of the objections to more lib
seral fruit growing could be overcome.
A Georgia man claims the people of his
state are resourceful and often invent
i've. A case is cited by him of a farmer
near Moultrie. He had big fruit or
chard, and he found that often the heat
in summer and the froet hurt his peach
crops. He set about to find remedy
and discovered one that 10 attracting
widespread attention. The state ento-
mologist has made, an investigation of
his plan and has Endorsed 1t. The
SCnoQG IS SlIlplc. Ills NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
that growing peach trees in the shade
OF pine trees would protect the peach
trees from the heat in summer and
from the killing frosts Many people
laughed at him, but he went ahead and
planted seventy-fve acres. The trees
;thrived nightly and their growth was
not retarded by the surroundings.
Trees less than three years old have
been so loaded with peaches that in
many instances the boughs have been
broken. Others are adopting this meth
cd and this southron declares that
Georgia is bound to become a great
peach growing state.
It is possible that such a plan would
protect fruit trees from the severity Of
winter in our northern statesss In fact,
somewhat similar protection on the
north sides of orchards have brought
good results. &

EFFECT OF .ARsn RATION DECISIONS.

Illinois has state arbitration board
that undertakes to settle disputes and
difficulties that arise between employ
ers and workmen. In the past 1t has
acted only when both Sides have ap-
pealed to 1t, tho 1t has the right under
the law to intervene when appeal comes
from one side only. In a recent case 1t
acted under the last named power and
declared labor contract void because
1T was inequitable. This decision was
rendered last week during an investi-
cation Of the lockout of 800 men en-
ployed by the Parlin & Orendorff Com
pany Of Canton, Ill. The difference
grew out OF contract which in recent
years the company has required its
men to sign as the principal condition
OF employment. This contract required
the employees to give up 10 per cent of
their wages on the understanding that,
on compliance with certain named re-
quisites OF good workmanship, the sum
withheld would be presented to them
at the end of the year, the agreement to
be terminated at the option of the COM
pany.
The practical effect of such an agree
ment, the board says, is that the men
cease to be free agents and are humili-
ated and harrassed by it. The arbiters
go on to say: "The most important
point to be considered in connection
with the contract in controversy is that
it lis altogether one-sided agreement.

"This is very gratifying, of course,
but there is another side to the picture.
The hosiery exports from Nottingham

a FEATURE OF THE coal STRIKE.

A Marshalltown citizen, Mr.. Merritt
Greene. who has business interests in
Pennsylvania, and who is familiar with
conditions in that state, refers to fac
tor in the anthracite coal strike that
might be invoked to end the strife, but
which has been quiescent. This factor
comprises the owners of coal lands who
lease them to the operating companies
at royalty Of an agreed sum per ton.
knowing they have a practical monop-
oily of the hard coal supply, they are
interested in keeping up prices, and In,
the present strike have been Indifferent,
bin and will be in greater demand after
the short lapse In mining caused by
this strike. Their attitude is very much
like that of man who has a good
piece Of real estate, which he knows he
can sell at any time. He is not greatly
concerned either way. So it is with the
owners of the coal lands, who are
all wealthy enough to await results and
the exhaustion of the surplus Of hard
coal supplies at numerous points. II
they would exert themselves to end the
strike 1t might sooner be terminated
The los in anthracite Is being made
up by coke and bituminous coal inter-.
ests. It is increasing their activity and
profits, giving them an increased boom,
as might be expected. These miners
are quite willing to contribute to the
relief fund to keep the hard coal con-
tention going. It isn't injuring them a
particle.
1t isn't hurting the foreign coal
trade, either, as this little item from
London Of a few days ago will indicate:
"The Lancashire coal trade is rapidly
Improving in consequence of purchases
for the United States. It is said that
orders aggregating hundreds of thou
sands OF tons have been placed in the
South Lancashire collieries for ships
ment to various ports Of the United
states
But these interests may eventually
affect the Pennsylvania hard coal bust
ness adversely.
