SUPPORT TO UNION LEADERS
Do Not Desert Union. and Turn Deaf Ears to Those Who Would De.
 stroy Organization.

We believe in good to be done bv farmers organizations when conduet. ed upon broad and liberal scale and With purpose to subserve real inter. ests ot farmers. We have not hest. tated, again and again, to urge our readers who are members of the unton to stand by the organization and we repeat the advice. If il We're possible 10 make this more emphatic We should do so, but We have exhausted our vocabulary in this effort We are not able 10 present the matter more strongly than we have already done says Farm and Ranch
 IL would be to assume ignorance of what is universally known if we should claim ignorance of present conditions. The fact Is that We are better informed than are many union people themselves. and have sources ot information denied to them. Win this knowledge we still give to our readers the advice not to desert the union. and to turn deaf ears to those who would destroy the organization.
 This condition which has arisen -s unfortunate, but il can be better met by the real friends of the union while they are within it's ranks. than if they should desert it. Stay with the or. ganization and do not be driven out and do not go out willingly. There IS better time ahead
 Mir. Loudermilk and his associates are going to do good work and they should have the cordial support of the rank and file ot the union It would be more than unjust to oall him to leadership and to desert him when there is greatest need Of support. We suggest again that whatever dis sessions exist be settled within the ranks of the union. and that the less Of public discussion the better. The members owe 1t to themselves. to the union and to the whole country to give MT. Loudermilk such support as will enable him to do the work to which he has been called Having SC. lected leader and having cast upon him the responsibilities. t is in order to follow your leader"

LOW HEADED
 FRUIT TREES
Many Orchardists Believe That Nearer to Ground They Can Head Trees the Better They Are Short-Liyed
 and UnsightIy.
fBy E.R. CANFIELDA

= T
 At the present time many orchard ists believe that the nearer to the ground they can head their trees the better and thousands of trees have grown up like bushes without any training at all, each shoot from near the ground striving to become the body of the tree
 The trees grown in this way will come sooner into bearing and have q greater bearing surface, but ara short lived and unsightly. are easily broken down by the wind and weight of the fruit. In certain parts of the country where the trees are exposed to droughts and hot winds. wo1li advise low-headed trees, but as rule I am in favor of medium high train ing The branches after the tree comes into bearing should protect the trunk of the tree from the sun during the summer.
 The heading should be high enough to secure a growth of branches as nearly right angles with the trunk otherwise they will form what is term ed mal-formed crotches, owing to the natural tendency of the branches to an upright growth. Every tree should have central shaft and the branches should be evenly distributed. Cars must be exercised in pruning not 10 allow a side branch 10 get ahead N the center.

record for insurance housekeeping. 1t
has been discovered that something like
$9OOO,OOO,OOO of outstanding insurance
that of the fraternal orders-was without
supervision and that much of it was
not a solid basis. The need for house
cleaning in this case became particularly
evident since by the nature of things the
benefciaries would in almost all cases be
widows and children. 1t has not been
necessary to call in Governor Hughes in
this case, however, since it has been
successfully dealt with by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners.
While the ordinary commercial organiza-
lions issuing life insurance are now under
state regulation in most parts of the
country, this control has not extended to
the fraternal societies and it is said by
the insurance commissioners that many
of these have been conducted on basis
of charges which will mean that they
will ultimately find themselves unable to
meet their obligations. The remedy pro-
posed by the committee on fraternal
insurance of the commissioner associa-
ton is the recommendation of uniform

As we said last week there are but two
courses open for the men who have been
fighting DIR. Mead so strenuously. They
must admit that the charges against his
methods are without foundation and thus
still further shake popular faith in pre-
convention assertions, or they must re-
