The man who starts out with young
and vigorous orchard is quite likely to
give 1t reasonably good care, for he be-
lieves that, in time, it will bring him
good returns. On the other hand, the
man with an old orchard, that is. an
adult orchard, so TO speak, generally
believes that its days of usefulness are
over and gives it little or no care and.
as a result, it amounts to but little.
Experienced orchardists who have gone
into the matter extensively think that
the orchard which is not too old Is
well worth caring for and many Of
them have made them pay handsomely
by the simple process Of cultivation OF
the soil, pruning and spraying the
trees.

Market gardeners often raise earlier
and larger cabbages than are usually
found in even our best private gardens.
One reason Of this is probably due to
the fact that the market gardeners
grow cabbages on a large scale, and
use the horse hoe or cultivator between
the rows Of growing cabbages. This
deep and thorough cultivation not only
Keeps the land free from weeds, but 1t
also prunes the roots and checks the
growth of the cabbages for short
time, though not for long. The roots
which are pruned throw out numerous
small fibers, which feed on n rich sur
face soil rather than on the poorer sub
soil This check to the growth of the
cabbages favors early maturity. But
IL should not be forgotten that 1t Is In
dispensable to success that the land for
early cabbages be very rich, and the
more one cultivates them the better.

Call For
Referendum
Action to Postpone |. W. W. COnven.
tlOn Until After Meyer
Haywood Trial.

Chicago, May ia proposition hav-
ing issued from the Terre Haute local
and received the endorsement of sew
eral other organizations to postpone the
convention of the Industrial Workers
of the World, heretofore announced for
June 27, your general secretary deems
it necessary to issue this special cir
cular on the subject.
The constitution makes no provision
for the submission of referendums, and
in the absence of specific instructions
I wish to state that the proposal to
postpone the convention until after the
trial of our brothers, officers of the
Western Federation of Miners, has not
only met with the approval of several
organizations, but is endorsed by all
members of the organization with
whom I have opportunity to confer.
The unanimous opinion is that should
the convention be held in June the
uncertainty that surrounds the trial Of
our prosecuted brothers would very
seriously affect the attendance, par
ticularly from the Western states. It
is well known to all of you that the
energies and resources of our entire
body of local organizations are now
taxed to the utmost in providing an
adequate defense fund. So heavy is
the drain in this respect upon the men,
bership at the present time, that it is
matter of serious loubt whether the
delegates that may be chosen from the
west could attend the convention in
June. Should the convention be held
at that time with n small attendance il
will readily be seen that our enemies
would take advantage at that fact to
promote what might prove TO be a
most serious result, not alone for the
organization, but for our brothers in
the meshes Of an outrageous conspir.
acy.
Therefore, il seems wise in the face
of all the circumstances TO postpone
the convention until the trial is end.

Vice President Fairbanks might have

Ex-Governor RequisitiOned.

Fifty Austrians have won strike
at the East Helena smelters.
They have demonstrated the power
of united labor, secured an eight-hour
day for themselves, and concessions
for other workers.
Incidentally, twenty-five imported
Italians refused to break the strike,
and the "free born" American work
ing man had chance to take lessons
from the sons of Italy.
Labor's hands have been strength
ened, the American Smelling and Re-
fning company has been humiliated,
the foreigner has earned the gratitude
Of American labor and the Amalga-
mated papers have been put to an
awful worry to explain how it hap
pened.
A Thunderbolt.
Like a thunderbolt from the clear
sky came the ultimatum from the Aus
trian employees in the samplers, May
10. So well had they perpared the
coup which was to raise them from
the grind of the ten hour day to the
eight hour day that the company was
caught totally unprepared, not even
the American workingmen suspecting
what was coming.
"Tell de boss we work eight hour
day or quit" was the ultimatum pre-
sented to the foremen at noon on May
10.
"Tell them,.n sent back the superin.
tendent, "they can have $1.60 for

Will Still Stand Watching.

But the company will still stand
watching Defeated in one way they
are laying their plans well and deep.
One Of their schemes is TO encourage
the employment and retention of mar
ried men. Where is more helpless
and pitiable victim than a man with a
salary of $2 per day who has a wife
and children dependent on himf Here
the company can plant its iron feet
on the hearts Of women and little chill
dren and torture man into submis-
sion through the sufferings OF his de-
pendents. Three men heard of par
tieularly, who get s2.90 per day, have
large families and own their own
homes. With such small salaries, so
many to support, and so much at stake,
what a tremendous leverage the COM
pany has. With married and home
owning employees the company will be
able TO establish a thorough-going sys-
tenn of peonage, unless the men union
ize and develop the scrapping qualities
Of Austrians and the class loyalty Of
Italians.

p is also enclosed for your informa-
ton. Delegates to the convention may
be chosen Immediately and credentials
issued to them, so that should the vote
be adverse to another postponement
they will be ready and instructed for
the convention called for June 81.
Should the capitalist class succeed
in the infamous crime contemplated
and a verdict of guilty be returned, it
will then be necessary for us to call
a convention to devise ways and means
for a supreme effort to save the lives
Of our brothers. With this prospect
before us, the only course we have is
to submit a referendum, providing that
as soon as practicable after the trial
is ended a national convention of the
Industrial Workers of the World shall
be held in the city of Chicago, the
exact date to be fixed in the call by
the general executive board.
All local organizations are, therefore,
urged to act Immediately upon this
most important matter. Delay may
prove disastrous. Our duty to the
general organization and to our i'm
prisoned comrades demands prompt and
intelligent action.
