Potatoe prices have taken big
sump in the market and many growers
are now arranging to hold their crops.
This looks like wisdom to us although
we are not prophets of coming mark
cts. But the crop while large in
acreage is not so large in production.
More than this the early frost caught
thousands of acres of potatoes undug
or dug and still in the field. The re-
suit will be big loss. Spuds look
higher to us.

The question has been asked. When
is the best time to prune grape vines?
A nv time after the leaves drop till
the last of February is good time
for this work provided the vines are
not frozen. Some varieties of the
grape should be laid on the ground
before very cold weather sets in and
then covered with some kind of rub
bish or with dirt. Many prefer the
dirt covering on account of the liza
bility of damage from mice in the case
any kind of rubbish is used that would
furnish a good nesting place for the
rodents If we had to use rubbish.
then | would "doctor' the mice with
arsenic and cornmeal as explained in
another part of this ISSUE But L
prefer the dirt covering to any thing
else. I would always prune grape
vines before laying them down.
Many of our hardy grapes do not
need any winter protection and can be
left on the trellises all winter Any
time during the winter when the
weather is mild these vines can be
pruned. If we wait till the spring be-
fore doing this pruning the vines are
liable to bleed severely and be dam
aged to some extent.
An important thing for the beginner
to know is how this pruning should
be done. One point should never be
overlooked and that is that grape
vines bear on new wood. What grows
one summer bears the next. Some
wears since a man took me out to see
his grape vines had been pruned, as
soon as saw them [ told him that he
would have no grapes that year. Not
understanding what l have just stated
he had cut out all the previous years
growth. Keep this point always in
view while pruning grape vines.
Many persons who understand this
matter do not prune heavy enough.
The rule usually followed is to cut
each side branch of new growth back
to two eyes. If a glape vine has a
good supply of new branches this will
enable the grower to raise a fine crop
of grapes.

The other day met G. Pendleton,
deputy fruit commissioner for the
port of Seattle. He showed me his
report for the month of October.
This report shows that "there is
something doing" in Seattle in fruit
aud vegetables. During October 277,
433 package reached Seattle. Reduc'
ing these packages to cars and he has
summarized as follows: Apples lOI
cars, pears II cars, tomatoes IL cars,
grapes 80 cars, mixed fruit 81 cars
bananas IL cars, oranges ID cars, ano
sweet potatoes 81 cars. Altogether
there we're 553 car loads of fruits ano
vegetables received in Seattle during
that month Mr.. Pendleton condemn

that Seattle is very important mar
ket for fruits and vegetables.
Some of our eastern exchanges have

apples and will ultimately recover

One report says that man in Maine

the boxes are given and are somewhat
larger than the boxes used on the Pa

mentioned as triumph is the fact
that this acre of apple trees netted
the owner about 5000! Then there is
an apple grower in southwestern
Iowa that sold $1,000 worth of apples

Another man reports that he has

NOTED CASE ON TRIAL
Margaret E. Clark Sues the Estate OF
John HyIand on Note of
Ten Thousand Dollars.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Geneseo, n. Y. Jan. 1S.-The noted
suit of Margaret E. Clark of Dansville
against the estate of John Hyland
the late Dansville millionaire, was
called for trial in the county court
here today The cause of action is a
$4,000 note, which the plaintiff
claims that Hyland gave her, but the
action has been so long drawn out
that the costs and interests have
brought the amount up to nearly
100000
Nothing was known Of the alleged
note until Mrs. Clark produced it after
Hyland's death. when she declared
that the millionaire had forbidden her
making it known until after his death.
The action was brought to trial sew
eral years ago and the ruling of the
court was that the note was a forg-
cry. The attorneys for the plaintiff
then obtained a reversal in higher
court and a second trial was ordered.

the miners union If they are insist
ed upon there is certain to be rup-
ture, representatives of the operators
say, as they will not grant them.
The new set of demands, which
were submitted to the conference of
the miners union at Scranton last
| fall, includes many which the Anthra-
cite Strike Commission of 1902 de-
clined to grant, and which were re-
newed in 1906. The trouble in 1906
ended by the extension for three years
of the award of the strike commits
sion.
What the miners desire most, and
what the operators declare they never
will agree to, is the "checll-off'' sys-
tenn, by which the operators would
undertake to collect dues for the
union by holding out "a certain pro
portion of the employees earnings.
First in the list of new demands is
O1S WHICH pOlulS W lie dDOlltIou VI
the Cancellation board, which now
acts as permanent arbitration coun-
Gil to settle all disputes. The second
demand is for the complete recogni-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America as a party to negotiate a
wage contract and for the virtual
adoption of the 'check-off' system.
The third, fourth and fifth demands
in the list prepared for the miners
committee call for fewer hours, high
er wages, and the payment of contract
miners by weight exclusively. An
other question of importance to be
settled is the duration of whatever
agreement is made between operators
and mine workers. The latter sug-
gest one year. The operators object |
to this on the ground that if it were
adopted it would mean the renewal |
of negotiations every year, with the
possibility of the negotiations ending
in strike.
