man hopes at no distant day II
visit each of these, and give to on
readers some of the development

at present. Last Sunday, through
the courtesy of S. c. Tucker, W,
HE'D ourselves away to the Bueus
Vista truck farm, where P. E
Blalack is monarch of all he sur
veys, and our pulses have not yet
ceased 20 thrill at the sight there
presented. A 1900 acre truck
farm is a large undertaking, but
seems to present no difficulties to
the workmen there. O. P. Archer
was busy experimenting the
watering of whole sea of young
onions, while Mr.. Blalack was in
another part of the field extending
courtesies to some visitors. And
by the way, speaking of onions.
we saw some of the frest yet. A
part of them are beginning to bulb
already, and there are visions of
very early shipments dancing be-
fore the eyes of the growers.
Cabbage. cauliflowe-. English peas.
lettuce, alfalfa, came, ETC., greet
the visitor, an cause a feeling al
most akin to envy to permeate the
beholder. Mr.. Blalack anticipated
having about 125 or more acres of
onions, but his seed did not
terminate well, so the acreage is
considerably less than that, and
as only the most healthy plants
were put out, the chances are the
onions will be early and as fine as
can be found in any country.
There were many things to incite
to eloquent eulogy on this farm,
but short time and lack of space
must be given as excuses for not
giving a more extended writeup.
Suffice it to say Mr.. Blalack is
very sanguine for the future of
his farm.

A PLEA FOR LABOR
Its Power and Influence is Recognized
Asa Great Factor
IN PROMOTING INDUSTRIAL
Peace And General Prosperity Through.
out Our Glorious Land-It Rights
Wrongs of ALI.

The so-called labor problem is
one that is fast forcing itself upon
all thoughtful people who recognize
the TACT that sooner or later labor's
bill of grievance must be settled i'm
fair and equitable manner. The
question that is uppermost in the
minds of the great majority of toll.
eiS is to know what is the most
practical and surest way to raise
themselves and their fellow work
elS to higher plane. That there
IL worldwide discomfort among the
tollers Is becoming more and more
evident year after year, and this
discomfort can only be allayed or
satisfied by meeting the demands
OF labor in a fair and reasonable
manner. 1t is said that no dispute
Is permanently settled until it is
settled right, neither will the labor
problem be settled until it is settled
right, and that time will only come
when labor gets it's just share OF
the wealth it creates; when that
day arrives we will have better and
nobler men and women, and less
multi -millionairs to squander i'm
rlotous living the wealth withheld
from honest toll.
The object of the trade union
movement is to right the wrongs of
labor and adjust its grievances, by
Cancellation if possible or by strike
If necessary. That progress is being
made IS very apparent to every
careful observer.
1t is only but few short wears
since trades unions were discounte-
nanced and ignored to a great ex-
tent; now their power and influence
are recognized as Il great factor in
promoting industrial peace and
general prosperity. Even among
large employers of labor it is adj
mltted that labor unions are n
benefit TO all concerned when pro
perly and intelligently directed. No
reasonably minded man could saw
otherwise i'll view of the fact that
through the united effort of the
toilers the working conditions have
been greatly. improved, hours of
labor have been reduced and the
workmen are better paid and better
protected as a result of the trade
union movement than ever before.
That being the case then is surely
becomes the duty of every toiler to
become an active member of his
trade union, h p in it's delibera-
tlons and .endeavor to make it more
perfect and add to its strength
wherever possible. The more
powerful your organization the
better the results will follow and
the sooner the goal will be reached.
