MARKETING THE PEACH CROP
One successful Way Is in Car Lots
and That Means Comparatively
Some Essential Hints.

,By W. II. WICKES. Arkansas Expert
ment station.)
For conditions where the markets
are comparatively distant there Is
tust one way to market peaches sue
cessfully on a commercial scale, and
thai is in car lots. This generally
means comparatively. as few growers
have enough of any one variety to
make up a car lot themselves. GROW
ers in the same community should
nlant the same variety in order that
they NAV ripen at the same date. 1t
Is almost impossible for a peach grow
or to live by himself. Therefore do
lot expect TO go into a community. no
matter how well the soil and climate
are adapted to the cultivation or
reaches. and expect to make a success
of five or ten acres OF peaches unless
YOU have a good local market. Better
get a few neighbors to go in with
you and plant a few acres M market
co-operatively. Form a cooperative
association and, II possible. affiliate
with a larger central market agency.
AS for peaches, the trade uses the
bushel basket and the s~ix-basket
crate. Nearly all the markets prefer
the buchel basket, and there 1t Is,
In most cases. the more desirable
package.
Proper picking, grading and pack
ing are essential features In peach
marketing.

Matters for Serious Considera-

Issues Are Soon to Be Placed
Before the Country.

The Democratic majority in the next
house is certain to be in the neighbor-
hood of 80. This will be ample for
strictly partisan purposes In most ad-
ministration matters.
If the tariff subject were opened up,
however. the majority might be insult

Democrats who are in favor of a rea-
sonable amount of protection.

unless the administration Is willing to
permit a general revision Of the tariff.
Sixteen votes, cast with the Repub-
leans. will deprive the Democrats CT
their majority on any issue.
lnasmuch as those conditions will pre-
vail. 1t is absolutely essential that on
the issue Of national safety the admin
~istration should take pains to elimi-
nate partisan conditions and put pre-
%paredness on the broad basis OF
patriotism, seeking the support and
advice of Republicans as well as Dem
ocrats.
National defense will be the big is

be permitted to interfere with ade-
quate military preparations. There

Demand for Tariff Revision.

There has been an outspoken, ma.
tion-wide demand for a downward re.
vision of the tariff since 1907. In the
campaign of tho following year both
parties promised it. The party that
was given the opportunity to fulfill
that promise failed. 1t failed because
the president was deaf to his party's
voice and heard only the evil counsel
of advisers who were no longer their
party's Spokesman. There was not
even the false stimulant Of uncertainty
after the inaugural four years ago. In
stead there was the blighting certainty
Of betrayal. Big Business chortled
and proceeded forthwith to become
bigger.

Alaska Coal May
Be Mined Free

JUNEAU Forty canneries operat-
ing in Southeastern Alaska can save
several thousands of dollars on their
coal bills this summer il they exam
inc carefully the provisions of the
new Alaska coal land leasing act
and act accordingly.
In an interview accorded The En-
pire yesterday, Andrew Christensen,
chief of the field division of the
general land office pointed out that
deposits of good Ignite coal are
plentiful in Southeastern Alaska,
that the government gives any per-
son or corporation permission to
mine all the coal they want in a
1O-acre tract, and that not one cent
is charged by the government.
1--WE will go even further" Mr.
Christensen said. "Our geological de
the coal Is, and the government
does not even charge filing fee"
Mr. Christensen added, as an after
thought, that pen, ink and paper
also will be furnished, II desired.
1t will be remembered that for
many years the clamor from Alaska
has been: "If you won't let US mine
the coal in the reserved areas. let
us have coal for our own use" And
so the unreserved tracts have been
opened with almost no restrictions
at all to hamper or discourage the
applicant.
Chief Christensen called attention
to the deposits of coal on Admiralty
ISLAND, few miles from Juneau
Any one OF the deposits indicated
on the maps OF the geological survey
could produce enough bituminous
fuel to operate group Of canneries
through a season. At the present
time the canneries pay about 80 a

estimated that the canneries could

government is willing to give them,
