So much for the wooden and cotton
schedules. Among other increases are
the following: Asbestos woven fab
RIGS: manufacturers of bone and cellu-
loid; crackers and biscnits; dates; hgs;
feathers; manufacturers Of fur, glass,
horn. Indian rubber, straw and will
low; gas retorts; hemp; lemons; linole,
UNI; photographic prints; mattings; oil
cloth; toilet soap; writing paper; PIN
capples; pumice stone; quilts OF down;
razors; shingles; silks; punched struc-
tural steel, squared timber; watch
movements; manufacturers OF whale
bone; willow for basket making; will
low furniture; zinc ore.
The duty on lumber was some what
reduced; it ought to have been put on
the free list; the duty on shingles, it
should be remembered was, in fact, al
most doubled and by little contriv-
ance popularity called, a Joker the
duty on the squared timber was in
creased about fifty per cent.
The duties on print paper were
nominally reduced from six dollars q
ton to three dollars and seventy-fve
cents per ton for the cheapest grades,
but this was on face of a report by a
Committee of Congress that two dol
lars was all that was necessary; in ad-
dition the countervailing duty, i'm
posed because of the fact that certain
Canadian provinces levy export duties
on pulp wood cut from Crown lands,
brings the new duty on certain i'm
portations up to about the old Ding
ley rate.
Choice Between Sham and Real
Bituminous coal was reduced from
sixty-seven cents por ton to forty-five
cents per ton; it should have been put
on the free list, for we export on the
average two or three times as much as
we import. The House Bill provided
for reciprocally free coal with Canada,
but this was defeated in the Senate.
The duties on the iron and steel sched-
ule were also reduced, but are still
high enough to keep out imports ex-
cept under extraordinary conditions.
BY another "Joker," the duties on
punched structural steel, needed in the
construction Of all large buildings,
were increased from thirty-five to
eighty per cent. 1t was inevitable,
after Mr.. Carnegie's testimony before
the Congressional Committee that
these iron and steel duties must be re-
duced. Congress had to choose be-
tween sham reduction and a real re-
duction. 1t chose the former and no
protected iron or steel manufactures
need fear lest his profits be cut down
/ by foreign competition. That this is
correct statement of the situation
will appear from another quotation
from the same speech of President
Taft already quoted before, in which
he said:

A PAIR OF KINGS.
Peaches and CottOn-Both Have Come
Into Their Own in North Carolina.
(SOuthern Pines Tourist.

(SOuthern Pines TOuriSt)
There are two kings in this section,
and it is hard to dispute precedence
with either Of them. They are Cotton
and Peaches. The man who owns
a peach orchard in the North Caro-
lima Sand Hills is king, for this sea-
son has removed all doubt as to the
profit of good North Carolina peaches
When you can go through an Or
chard and find quantities of peaches
that will chase three inches close in
the measure of diameter you know
you have found something worth
while. When you see three or four
orchards that load several cars of
peaches in day you know you have
arrived at the peach belt When you
see several peach men in one COM
munity who are disappointed if they
cannot load three or four thousand
dollars worth Of peaches in a day you
know you have struck the happy val
ley. 1t has been considerable Of a
struggle to reach the certain success
that the peach orchards have at last
gained but there is no longer any
doubt.
For a long time it has been we'll
known that the soil and climate Of this
section would make peaches, and the
Sand Hills peach crop has been worth
hundreds Of thousands or dollars
since the industry began But when
famous pest (the San Jose scale) came
into this section, and ruin followed
for many orchards. But State and
national gOVernme entS sought Tor
rem edies, and after a few years found
that a spray Of lime and sulphur VIII
kill the scale, and now the orchard
man sprays his trees and has no more
fear of scales than the potato man
has of potato bugs.
SO peach orchards have increased
in size and numbe and new planta-
tions are going out steadily. rms
wear peaches went out in larger num-
Der than ever before, and the market
steadily called for more North Caro-
lima peaches at a profitable price Tor
the grower. The orchard is spread
ing over the sandy regions OF North
Carolina, and incidentally taking the
attention of the people away from
the other supreme ruler of agrlcul-
ture-King Cotton.
While the peach tree has brought
the best results so far among the
fruit crops of this region. the farmer
is taking a toss at a great many new
things One of the marked successes

in Yankee land that the Carolina sand

and learned from observation exactly
how the work of seeding, transplant

But the farmer who simply desires to
grow enough celery for his family

BL-ANCHING CELERY.

Blanching is q very important part
OF producing good celery; because, un-
less the plants are white firm and
tender, they are not only unpalatable
Tor the farmers family but are of
course unstable. Excluding the light
induces a solid growth in the heart OF
the plant and this growth IS very
rapid It also turns a plant from
green to pure white.
