"a trick Of the trade. -
A serious condition arose this year
near the close of the peach harvest
and the home market was glutted
with ripe peaches that sold ruinously
low. Why was this SOY More than
one factor entered into this condition
of things, one was the forest fires that
disarranged the railroads and for
time they would not receive peaches
to be shipped East except they were
subject to delay. Another factor was
the hot weather that ripened many
peaches so that they could not be
sent East for fear they would be
spoiled when they reached their desti
nation, so they had to be dumped
onto our home markets. Our Elberta
peaches were all moved to market be-
fore the slump and we did not feel
the decline except with some late
Crawfords. We are further down in
the valley and our Elbertas were a
week earlier than those further up.
Some growers feel much discouraged
on account Of the loss from the slump
in peach prices. Ny conviction is
that there is no occasion for alarm.
The chances are that such combina-
ticn of circumstances will not occur
again very soon. 1t is doubtful if an
other crop of peaches as large as the
one just harvested will be grown again
for many years. Every peach tree in
the country was full of peaches this
year. Frost cut but very little figure
in reducing the peach crop this year
but usually it does affect the size of
the crop very materially Some peach
orchards never have any peaches ex-
cept in years of plenty. | am sorry
for the growers who only occasionally
have any peaches. l know places
where l would never try to grow
peaches commercially for the growers
located in such places will never have
any except when the crop is phenom
enally large as it was this year. l
am not discouraged in the peach
growing business.
1t is now too late to say anything
about the size of the apple crop. l
have seen nothing to change my mind
as to the size of this crop in the
United States and Canada The thing
that seems to discourage the apple
growers is the low prices at which
apples are going at this writing. l
am not surprised at this condition Of
things. Last year apples were too
high for the good of the business and
many buyers got bit and "a burnt
child breads the fire. 1t was just so
after the high prices of 1907. At the
beginning of the sale of apples in
1908, they ruled lower than they are
now. The prices of apples will ad
vance as soon as the market gets it's
bearings properly. have never
known it to be otherwise. Now is a

DESERT TO BE RECLAIMED
Plans on Foot by Which Mesopotamla
VIII Be Restored to Ancient
EruitfuIness.

It has always seemed a most extra
ordinary thing that the land between
the Tigris and the Euphrates. which
was the seat Of the greatest empires
Of the ancient world. and which shared
with the Nile valley the distinction Of
being the richest cQrn.growing land.
should for SO many centuries been des.
olate and waste. But the natural rich
ness Of the soil Is not the only factor
In the fertility of the land. Even more
than Egypt It was dependent on care
full and scientific irrigation. and In the
days of the great sovereigns of Baby.
lon the canals were most strictly and
!ealously guarded. But when the an.
cient empires finally fell the canals
and irrigation works were neglected
and loft uncared for. with the result
that In n few years time the sand Of
the desert and the weeds choked up
the waterways. and the land relapsed
into desolation. But the new ministry
at Constantlnople has awakened to
the Importance of the matter, and Sir
William Willcocks. the famous en-.
ginecr. who wrote most valuable
monograph on the Babylonian canals
few years ago, has been intrustcd
with the work. The total cost of the
work on the Euphrates is estimated
Mt n quarter of n million of Turkish
pounds. of which 100000 will be
spent in the first year. For such an
absurdly small sum can the desert be
once more turned into fertile land.

An Appreciation.

A. w. Fowler, of Hudson, Mass,
writes thus appreciatively to the Ken
nebec Journal: ut is interesting to
get hold of a live Maine paper and
read about what Maine people are do
ing. 1t is almost like being among old
friends. Not all of us can go to
Maine, every year, but the home pa
per, coming to US and telling of the
doings of Maine people, the develop
ment of cities and towns, etc. Is a
pleasure, once enjoyed will not lightly
be given over. Very often ones eye
lights upon an item that brings to
mind some forgotten friend.
I'm Massachusetts are many Maine
people and their descendants. Sonic
come and make their little pile and
go away again, perhaps to return to
the old scenes in the Pine Tree State,
to take UP their abode and end their
days there.
1T is pleasant to visit, in memory,
the scenes of other happy days, and,
by the aid of a Maine paper, with the
news from the various towns, we are
enabled to do so. Many of the names
mentioned are of old and valued
friends. Some are of acquaintances.
but, in imagination, one is permitted
to dwell among them and consider
them all as friends. 1t is well WORTH
while to- have the weekly visits of the
Journal in the homes of Maine people

LIFE-SAVING CONTESTS.
Silver Cup the Prize for SkiIful Res.
cue Work by Miners,

With three officers of the United
States army medical corps acting as
judges. and with John Mitchell. of th.
National Civic Federation, to award
the prizes, II teams of mine workers
hrst-aid corps, representing five coal
companies, contested recently for
prizes offered by the American Red
Cross Society.
The contests were held at Valley

several hundred persons witnessed
them, including scores of physicians

The teams were obliged to take part
IN the four tests to dress injuries or
men supposed to have been hurt by
explosions. falls of rock and blasts.
The supposed wounds included burns
decorations, and various kinds of frac
lures, and the rescuing teams in sew
eral instances had to carry the injured
over such distractions as might he
found IN coal mine, where there has
been an accident. The percentages
scored by nearly all of the teams wero

The Portuguese Revolution,

After a short but bloody revolution
in Portugal, a republic has been pro-
claimed. and a provisional government
established. In the brief time in which
the world has heard of developments.
several hundred people have been
killed in street fighting. King Man.
uel and his mother are believed to
have taken refuge on British war
ship.
Here in America, we are able to view
this political eruption with complac-
ency, but it means much to Europe,
and especially to the crowned head
which rules the Don. No doubt the
strength of the French republic has
greatly strengthened the Republican
movement throughout Europe. Young
Alphonso perhaps postponed the day
when he, too. shall seek refuge. by
his marital alliance with a British
princess, and by his support of a pro-
grassive premier, and by using his in
fiuence against theocracy. No doubt
for Republican form of government
than is Portugal.
The Portuguese, probably consider
themselves as able to rule themselves,
but this must be gravely doubted by
those who know the problems which
confront Republican form of govern
ment. A people which stoops to as
sassination of it's crowned heads and
slaughter of loyal subjects, in order to
place constitutional government in
power. can hardly be considered as
ready to rule themselves. The events
in Portugal of only few months ago,
when the king and crown prince were
assassinated, and the events of the
last few days. show the temper of the
people. Such incidents call to mind
the bloody tragedy in Servia in May,
1903, when King Alexander and Queen
Draga were slain in their chamber at
the palace. Such people can hardly
be entrusted with their own affairs.
The experience of a Republican gov
eminent in the hands of such hotheads
must partake of the nature of some
of the Latin-American republics which
cause Uncle Sam and the rest of the
civilized world so much trouble.
A Republican form of government
must be considered as the most adj
vanced of any which civilization
knows. but republic must be founded
upon the morality and intelligence of
its people. Then the theory of self
government is unassailable.
The Portuguese consul in New York
says the church question complicated
conditions in his country, and that
the anti-clerical feeling is to a great
degree co-extensive with the anti-mon-
archial feeling. He says that what
surprises the government most is that
the army and navy have turned

Our Water Ways Problems.

1t Is at last settled. after keen COM
petition between important cities of
the country. that. the seventh annual
convention of the National Rivers and
Harbors congress will meet in the ma
tionai capital December I, 8 and 9.
The chief problem with which the con-
gress will have to deal has already
been touched upon by President Taft.
who recently sounded the keynote
for a, comprehensive policy of treat
ment of the inland waters of the
country
AT the congress. the organization of
which now numbers thousands of con-
tributing members. this broad policy
will be studied from every standpoint.
Representatives from every waterway
association in the United States. from
hundreds of boards of trade and
chambers of commerce, and from the
ranks of business and professional
men. will come to take part. A gov
ernmental policy must be adopted
that will secure, speedy completion of
meritorious projects nov underway.
and which through the ''piecemear'
appropriations of the past have made
their completion far remote.
There has been a persistent agita-
ton for policy instead of a project.
and out of it has arisen nation wide
sentiment that. the pork barrel be
eliminated so far as it relates to wa
terways President Taft voiced this
sentiment when he signed the last
rivers and harbor bill at the close
of the Sixtye first session of Congress.
1t Immediately found approval With
the people. h In future Congress will
no doubt appropriate money only for
those projects that are worthy of i'm
provement and with tonnage bearing
capacity when improved, that will ma
teriaIly., assist in relieving disastrous
freight congestions. These projects
will be recommended by board of
competent advisers. appointed by the
government. and without axes of their
own to grind.
