Object Lessons for Orchardists

In an article in the November num-
ber of the Ranch on "Growing Pea
ches Near the Coast" in which the
Importance OF clean cultivation and
liberal fertilizing to insure success in
any kind of fruit raising is empha-
sized, Mr.. George Gibbs. a former
resident of Orcas island and we'll
known to many people there, says;
"Object lessons that point the way
are rarely needed by the average fruit
grower. The grand work of George
W. Meyer. of Orcas. is a case in
point. For the past ten years be has
given the people of the island valu.
able object lessons in growing the
best of fine fruit. that might be worth
thousands to the neighbors. and men
come across the continent to buy his
fruit. But is there a man on the is
land who is copying his valuable
work? No.
"AH fruit trees respond to liberal
feeding and the possibilities for grow
ing fine samples are immense. We
do not realize what it means. 1t will
be q surprise to all who adopt its sim :
pie lessons. Better fruit than our peo-
pie ever produced is within the reach
Of all. Clean culture is imperative
and liberal feed the year round.'

AN 1MPoLITIc MOVE.
SmcIters Made Serious Mistake In
Raising Treatment Charges.

The custom shelters undoubtedly
suffered heavy losses in 1907, says the
Engineering Il Mining Journal but the
eifort to recoup them by bold IN
crease in smelling charges Immediate
~ upon the cessation of competition
in Utah and Montana is an impoltic
move that ~ eNplalnablc only by the
words of william II. Vanderbilt I'm
which he expressed his contempt for
the public. The meetings of irate ore
producers at Helena and salt Lake
CITY show their indignation and also
manifest an inclination to do bust
ness, which will prove the impoicy of
the custim smelling companies II the
ore producers remain steadfust IN their
intentions. Probably the smelling
companies figure that they will not.
There have been protests before. but
they have ended only with talk. II
rests entirely with the miners whether
there be a different ending TO the pres
ent case.
Competition is the life of trade. At
present it has, been destroyed by the
action of the farmers in Utah and by
market conditions which have caused
certain smelters In Montana 10 suspend
operations. Competition Will certain
ly revive sooner or later by natural
developments. 1t will be FASTENED II
the miners themselves provide 1t. This
is the simplest redress OF grievances,
as was pointed out by the committee
reporting at the last meeting of the
American Mining congress.
There IS nothing mysterious about
the smelling business Many excellent
metallurgist thoroughly experienced in
the art are open to engagement and
competent managers also can be Sc
cured, The essential prerequisit to sue
cessful competition is the assurance
Of an adequate supply of the ores nee
essary to make an economical smelling
mixture Tho mine nnaratOrg the
ores who can provide that assurance,
with which there should be no difficult
~ in raising the capital, large por-
ton OF which the mine operators can
also supply. For the treatment of the
crude lead there are four competing
rehneries for the treatment of the crude
copper there is the same number. If
satisfactory terms cannot be obtained
among these, it is no more difficult to-
build and operate an independent re-
finery than it is smeltery. Indeed,
to put Il smelling business in an im-
pregnable position it should be self
contained from the production of the
ore to the production of the refined
metals.
The only requirements for the sue
Cessful Inauguration of a new and in
dependent competition in the smelling
business are consequently "a assured
ore supply (2) adequate capital and (3l
technical knowledge plus experienced
business management. The miners
can provide the first, can provide or
find partners to provide the second.
and can buy the third. They can easily
develop a cooperative, so to speak,
method of treating their ores and elm
mate all grievances against existing
smelters on the ground of extortionate
charges and unfair treatment. The
remedy is easy and moreover will be
commercially profitable If it be wisely
undertaken.

The previous case occurred over

being put aboard ship. The order de-
