To Form Junior Union.

Perhaps the most important step
taken was that of preparing to effect
a Junior union or organization of APP
prentices along the lines followed by
the st. Paul union. A committee was
authorized to proceed with the work
or organization Immediately, and it
is expected formation of the appren-
tees union will be we'll under way
when No. AZ hears the report next
meeting day. Under the plan pro-
posed, the apprentices who affiliate
will enjoy full protection of the local
and international organizations. and
their rights will be looked after and
safeguarded in much the same man
'ner as is now the case with the jour
neymen. Technical education will be
a part OF the curriculum of appren-
tees in the future, and all viii be
compelled to take the I. 7. u. course
before they can become full members.
Rebates of a portion OF the tuition
fees will be made by the local and
international unions.

he trucking industry than in any other branch
Of soil filling. The fruit grower who has had
any experience comes to expect the inevitable
bad years" and to view them with some COM
pacency and even the grain grower does not
look for the same ratio of profit from every
harvest However, the truckers, particularly
those operating small farms or patches, are
wont to count upon each years productive
ness at a maximum and are CORRESPONDENCE
disappointed when dame nature does not ar
range things to their liking.
One explanation, too, of the emphatic COM
plants that are heard with reference to truck
ing conditions in unfavorable year is found
in the number of newcomers in the ield-men
and women who prior to their present venture
had never had experience In farming of any
kind The tales told in recent years of the
profits and delights of trucking, the ease with
which the products can be disposed of, and the
comparatively small outlay required for five
or ten-acre Intensive farm" have combined
to lure into the field many people who, woe
to them mad no fund of experience to draw
upon Particularly has this been the case
near our large cities where many small truck
farms have been started by city folks, either
as the "sde line" of some city occupation or
with a view to obtaining an anchorage that
would later permit migration to the country.
AS in poultry raising and other supposedly
"set rich quick" vocatons there have been
number of more or less bitter Establishments
of late years in tn field of trucking, but, by
and large, the industry has developed ire
mendously. 1t has come to be appreciated by
many Of the uninitiated that in truck garden
ing no more than in any other field can re-
wards be obtained without hard work and that
here, as elsewhere, some experience is neces-
sary and that a man must expect to pay for
such experience if he has not acquired it at
the expense of somebody else before he struck
out for himself. Moreover, the up-to-date
trucker has come to realize that he must de-
wise means to circumvent nature when she
frowns just as the fruit growers have dis
covered expedients for lodging frosts and
other menaces.
One truth that is happily being brought
home to many people engaged in or contem-
plating trucking is that a little capital is of
immense advantage just it is in every other
walk of life. To be sure, the trucker who
leases his holdings or buys ION time" at favor
prisingly small cash capital and it is this pos
sibility which has attracted to the field so
many men with very small bank accounts and
women suddenly thrown on their own re-
sources. At the same time the new entrant
who starts with a NEST egg" has a tremend-
Gus advantage and, for one thing, he will not
be nearly so much at the mercy of the whims
of nature his fellow trucker who has none
to successful trucking.
The trucker with capital has, 1t goes with
out saying full complement of the tools and
equipment which, in trucking as in more ex-
ensive forms of farming, save time and labor

GARDEN TROUBLES

This is the season when gardens grow. Gentle
reader have you a garden? No! on, you i've
in a city fiat where there wouldn't be room to
stand a garden up edgeways? WE'LL move out
of it right now and go where you can have a
garden If you can't have one any other way,
make one Everybody makes garden in the
spring That is why there Is such demand IN
the spring for medicine that will correct bad
blood Nobody ever planted bad blood IN his
garden, but before the novice Is done with II
he will discover that bad blood Is about the most
successful crop he can raise. 1t nature ATTENDED
to her business Instead of hanging around wait
ing for the man to do most everything S4mseisq
gardening would be more attractive and popular.
But nature simply will not do lick until per
son gets the ground ready and lays 1t off in plats
and dyiIls and rows and beds and things and
buys the seeds aud plants them.
After all that has SeeS accomplished at great
labor and expense nature tAIes hold and shoves
the sprouts up out Of the soiSs hut no more, for
when the plants have got stare 1nce they will
grow themselves. But they won't Sake care or
themselves and nature doesn't, SO E2e man is
compelled to look after them. He has to look
after them all the time too, because If ae isn't
there TO work just as hard from then e. the
finish, IS he did from the beginning to then,
the kind of garden he will have will cause his
wife and children to giggle at him and prompt
his neighbors to give him the horse haha Be
Sides there are the weeds and the bugs and tEs
rain and the drought and the chickens and tas
dogs and the cats and the pigs and the boil
weevil and the pip and the scale and the cooling
moth, and like as not somebody leaves the gate
open and the COWS get in ara Well, by thun-
der! it's no wonder all our troubles get their
start in a garden.-William J. Hampton In Judge

an especial consideration If a man is at
tempting to operate a truck patch single
handed. More important yet the trucker who
is able to lay out some money on his prop
erty will have sort of drainage and r-
rigating system which will carry off surplus
water in the case of torrential showers and
WILL on the other hand enable him to water
his gardens" when a rain famine comes. He
will have more or less pretentious green
houses that will enable him to raise early
vegetables and to give his garden stuff an
early start under glass. And he may even
have facilities for raising some products in
shade or partial shade. And SO there might
be continued almost indefinitely the enumera-
ton of the innovations that have bettered
modern trucking conditions, al the way up to
the facilities on those large truck farms
where we find miniature narrow gauge
railways traversing the trucking area and af-
fording the means of transferring the vege-
tables, berries, etc.. in one handling from the
pickers to the boats or railroad cars that are
to convey them to market
notable characteristic Of modern methods
of trucking is the extent to which SPECIALIZE
ton is being practiced. We still have, Of
course, farms by the thousand where every
thing from onions to pumpkins are raised but
we also find, to an increasing extent, progress
sive men who are devoting their whole invest
ment and energy to one product and endeavor-
ing to secure that extra quality which special
ization produces and which always means
higher prices when the ultimate consumers
learn of its presence. This explains the 'let-
tuce farms" where nothing but lettuce is cul-
tivated and the celery farms" in Michigan
and elsewhere that concentrate on this capri
cious product and the. watermelon patches
of the southland so on through a long list.
As sequel to this era of specialization has
come the practice of many truckers to dispose
of their products direct to the consumers. OF
course this means added profits, for not only
does it cut out the middleman's margin but in
many instances the trucker finds discriminate
ing city folks willing to pay him more than
the prevailing retail price in order to obtain
products of exceptional quality and which they
can depend upon being fresh Some truckers

these fashionable hotels do not demand cut
rates" because they buy in quantity. Lucy
are so glad to be assured of dependable VeSe'
tables of the highest grade that they pay as
much, as the same stuff would bring DIT leCdn
in the same city.
An interesting "side line that has developed
in connection with twentieth century trucking
is the canning and preserving industry. we
see this tendency exempltted in Two ways.
First, there is disposition on the part OF
the big canning firms that "put up tomatoes,
corn, ETC., to raise their own vegetables ana
in not a few instances in late years the can
ming factories have been moved ito the fields"
to be near the source of supply. Secondly
and more significant, is the disposition OF
truckers to put up in glass or tins their sur
plus products and to market them direct The
farmers wife and daughters, from time out OF
mind, have been stocking the home larder
for winter use in this manner, but latterly
they have taken to picking and preserving
for the great outside public as well. In many
instances where the responsibilities have be-
come too much for the women folk on the
truck farm outside help is called in-school
girls eager to earn vacation money; summer
boarders who willing thus to pay their
way; and factory folk from the neighboring
towns who are out of work temporarily ow-
ing to the summer shut downs"
Time was when the average farmers wife
was wont to declare that it did not pay to
can or preserve for the market, however much
pride she might take in such work for the
household and however much qualification she
might fsel when her jams and stewed fruits
took the prizes at the county fair. All this
stigma of unproftableness has passed, how
ever When the public will pay twenty to
thirty-f1ve cents for small glass of jelly and
as high dollar for quart jar of pre-
served fruit it is no use to talk about 1t being
a thankless job even though 1t be hot task
on a summer day. The truckers have discoV-
cred that the public will always pay good and
even fancy prices for these "by-products" If
they can have the assurance that they are
getting pure products Of superior quality put
up without the use of injurious preservatives

BUST and Tuberculosis.

forms of dust, and at the request of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, the
United States government has recently

operation with state authorities in
making an investigation into the con
ditions of the metal mining industries
in the United States, with special ref
erence to diseases of the lungs. The
work of the commission engaged in
this special task will follow lines
somewhat similar to those worked out
by the Royal Commission of Australia
whose report was recently received in
