ARBITRATION BOARD
Will Probably Settle the Great
Coal Strike.
the LATEST DEVELOPMENTS.

After a meeting between j. Z.
Morgan and President Roosevelt
Monday, an official statement was
made announcing the agreement
of the anthracite mine operators to
the appointment of commission
by the President, to whom shall
be referred all questions at issue
between the striking miners and
their employers. The PROPOSE
ton, with some amendments, is in
the line of the one made by Presi-
cent Mitchell at the recent White
House conference. The findings
of the proposed commission shall
be accepted by both sides to the
controversy and shall govern con.
ditions of employment between
companies and their employees for
at least three years. The commits
sion is to consist of an army OF
navy engineer, a Judge of one OF
the United States courts for the
Eastern Pennsylvania district, an
eminent sociologist, and man ia
miliar with the physical and CON-
mercial features of the coal min
ing business.
1t is expected that President
Mitchell will accept the PROPOSE
ton made by the operators The
board proposed does not provide
for a single union representative,
or working class sympathiser, but
il is said the miners will trust the
President to exercise what small
discretion he is allowed in the
matter by choosing men who will
likely give the miners g square
deal.

quire no more ground, no more culti-

There are very few homes now but

BILE lies in the selection of varieties. !
want to see the daY very soon when
these inferior trees will be dug up and
in their stead will be planted the finer
sorts. Then add a few more trees to
some of these orchards and from them
get a supply of the best fruit that can
be grown, ripening all through the
season. 1 want to see this little
orchard planted in good soil and given
good cultivation and proper fertiliz-
ers, and not sown down to rye, or turn
"a into a calf pasture: and in a few
years your little orchard will be the
most valuable spot on your place.
Speaking on this subject brings back
to my mind my boyhood days and the
important part that the old orchard
played therein. Many of my happiest
hours were spent among those old
trees on whose branches hung good
fruit from May to November. How
well do 1 recall the daily morning race
with my brothers to these trees to see
who could secure the finest specimens
that fell fully ripe and mellow during
the preceding night. My mind also oft
reverts 10 my youthful disobedlence
of parental mandates and the stern
orders given that / go TO that same
romantic spot for a good peach tree

BY Charles T. Smith of Concord, Ga
That we are an orchard planting peo-
pie may be quickly proven by a ride
out through the country in any direc-
ton. We find fruit trees growing
around every home, from the stately
mansion of the owner of large plan
Nations, to the humble cabin of the
renter or cropper. You will scarcely
pass a home in a days drive in Mid
die Georgia that has no fruit trees
growing around it, and this impresses
AS that we are fruit loving people.
But there is another side to this
question that we wish to dwell on. AS
I'VE pass all those homes with their
fruit trees planted around them, we
very rarely find a well planned or
carelly tended orchard. These orch
ards are generally made up of seed
9ings and sprouts gathered up through
'1he neighborhood at random that gem
orally produce inferior fruit, ripening
Through very small part of the sea-
son, when fruit should be abundant
and fine. Right here a mistake is
made by these amateur horticultur-
lists that we wish to call attention to-
They do not seem to realize that il
Us as easy to grow an Elberta as a

these people In allowing these degen-
crate varieties Of fruit 20 cumber the
HrOund around their homes, when the
