who fail to keep in touch with the
latest breeds and types Of stock and

proved methods and conveniences for

apples are as rule the ones that fall
first if the fruit is allowed to hang and
there is but one picking made the
plan seems well worth while.

They'll Return Again.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lO.-EXtensive rail-
road building in italy. the approach of the
Presidential election and scare head lines
in the newspapers aside from the financial
furry, are causes assigned by Terence v.
Powderly for the present exodus Of aliens
from the United States.
Mr. Powderly was formerly grand master
of the Knights OF Labor and is now chief
of the division Of information. Bureau OF
immigration. which is engaged in an effort
TO divert immigrants from the large cities
and to find work for the alien unemployed
Mr.. Powderly declared that more attention
has been attracted to the exodus this year
owing TO the fact that for the first time
statistics had been kept Of the number Of
aliens returning to their native lands
Mr.. Powderly said to-day:
"In other years the exodus began in the
latter u art of October and continued up
until Christmas. but this year the rush was
accentuated by the financial furry.
"No alarm need be felt because OF the
ebb in the tide. There is more work to do
in this country than there ever was before,
there is a necessity for more men and
women 20 do il. and the first months of the
next year will see a return of aliens who will
be- able to find rcmunerative employment
in this country.
