proved methods of farming, in the bene-
fetal use Of fertilizers and composts, in
ascertaining the wants and necessities, in
publishing and distributing addresses
made at the institute in drawing farm
ers closer together in mutual interests,
in promoting discussions among them
selves on farm topics, in advancing the
cause of good roads, in provoking a
friendly rivalry over the best crop yields
the latest hogs, the best horses, the
largest yields of milk and butter. By
these things and in many other ways
about which our farmers are too sluggish
they would be helped"
zone of the necessities of the times is
the securing of reliable crop statistics,
especially of the cotton crop, in behalf
of the farmers. The other side. the in
torested buyer, has his means of procur-
mg this information, and, unless the
producer is likewise so fortified, he be-
comes an easy prey to the manipulations
Of the market. The system of gathering
crop percentages, and estimating the
total products by comparisons, is far
from satisfactory. We may not be able
to perfect any plan as yet. But [ be-
llevc the finding out each year the amount
of acreage devoted to the leading crops
and the actual product on each farm of
the previous year will furnish data which
will be exceedingly valuable in arriving
at correct conclusions.
L suggest that law be enacted in all
The States requiring the Departments of
Agriculture to furnish blanks to the tax
lister of each district, who shall require
of the tax payer a statement, sworn to,
If necessary, of the acreage of cotton,
corn, tobacco, wheat and oats, etc.,
planted, or to be planted, by him during
the current year, and his actual product
of these crops during the previous year.
Percentages by comparison may then be
made with reasonable accuracy.
''The census reports are unsatisfactory
as a basis for comparison, Two years
PASS before these are available, and the5
relate to a crop of year previous to
their compiling. Each successive year
makes the estimates, with the Census
report as basis, more uncertain.
"The cost of such a system would be
small and l see no reason why it should
not work effectually and satisfactorily
after one or two years trial and expcr-
ience."

MINERS TRUSTEES CONVENED.
Called to Meet This Morning by Pres
ident Mitchell, After White
House Conference.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE ex-
ecutive board members Of the three
anthracite districts Of the United
Mine Workers of America will hold
a joint meeting here at 10 o'clock this
morning to consider a proposition fo-
ending the strike which President
Mitchell will lay before them with
view of calling a delegate convention
OF the striking mine workers to pass
upon it. The call was sent out yes
terday afternoon as a result Of tele-
phonic message sent by Mr.. Mitchell
after his conference with President
Roosevelt at Washington. 1t was diff
ficult last night to say what the out
come will be, but one thing seems to
be sure, and that is that considerable
progress is being made toward the
end Of the struggle.
Likely Got Presidents Interpretation.
No one here knew last night the
exact nature Of the proposition Mr..
Mitchell brought back with him from
the national capital. and it was prob
able no one would know it excepting
the three district presidents and Ma
tional Secretary-Treasurer Wilson
until the strike leader laid it before
the three boards. In his public state
ment Of Tuesday night the strike
leader said nothing would be done un-
til he was in possession OF the full
meaning Of the operators proposed
arbitration plan, and it is likely he
received the presidents interpreta-
ton yesterday. 1t was understood
that at least a majority Of the board
members was opposed to the plan.
but If the president gave Mr. Mitch
ell an Interpretation OF the proposal.
there is a likelihood that conven-
ton will be called to consider it.
There is a general belief that a con-
Vention will be called, no matter
what sort of a proposition is laid be-
fore the boards. Some OF the miners
are OF the opinion that Mr.. Mitchell
may have offered compromise prop
ositiOn by which the operators. and
miners would have equal representa-

Spalding's name to the commission.
Hon. Carroll D. Wright has been

Mitchell Will Talk This Morning.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 16.-When
Mr.. Mitchell learned the personnel
C the commission ea:~rn.s morning
and was asked Tor a further state
ment he replied that he would have
nothing further to say until morning.
Previously, before he knew Of the
personnel OF the commission. he said
to reporters that the whole matter
would be laid before the joint meet
ing of the three executive boards of
the anthracite region, at their meet
ing at 10 o'clock this morning.
In reply to the question if he
would comply with the presidents
request that coal mining be resumed
Immediately, he said he would make
more definite answer when he knew
more about the matter.
Miners Must Vote Upon 1t.
After his interview with the re-
porters in the hotel lobby, Mr.. Mitch
eli went to his office on the second
floor, where he was closeted with Mr..
Wilson. While there the reporter of
the Associated Press again went to
him for further enlightenment on the
situation regarding immediate re-
sumption, and he made the positive
statement that delegate convention
must first pass upon the question of
calling off the strike. This was also
before he knew the personnel of the
commission. From the time of the
calling of the convention to its ad-
journment is only a matter of three
or four days. Tnere is hardly any
doubt that a convention will stand
by any agreement he has made to
President Roosevelt.
