MAKE SUCCESS IN ORCHARDS
Excellent Results Secured at iowa Sta
ton by Cultivation, Pruning and
Thorough Spraying.

What cultivation, pruning and spray
ing will do to make apple orcharding
as successful in Iowa as in the much
touted western districts was fully
shown at the big Council Bluffs or
chard Of the Iowa Agricultural expert
ment station. This orchard, under the
care of horticulturists from Iowa State
College at Ames, yielded 1000 BUSH
els of apples from Is acres OF trees.
From So trees OF Grimes Golden, $40
bushels OF apples were harvested,
more than ten bushels per tree. q
this big crop. $50 bushels were 1T for
packing in boxes and sale OF fancy
trade at top prices. These results were
due to modern methods Of orchard care
and management. The results of this
work at Council Bluffs will later be
carried to every orchard district In
Iowa to encourage and improve COM
mercial orcharding.

Wires often accidentally come into
contact with trees by the displacement
of poles, particularly on curves. where
the strain is very great, but much OF
this injury may be prevented by inn

1t should be pointed out that the ne

be obyiated in this way.

STRUCK ON HEAD
IN QUARRY FALL
William Blow Is in Critical Condition at
Barre City Hospital as the Result
of an Accident at the Consoli-
dated Quarry Yesterday.

With a fracture at the base OF the
skull known to medical men as a contra
coup break, William Blow. a young Web
sterville quarryman. is lowering between
life and death at the City hospital, TO
which institution he was removed yester-
day after having fallen distance of 90
feet from trestle at the Consolidated
quarry. Fellow workmen of Blow picked
him up for dead and even after first aid
were over and the quarry
man was on his way to the hospital in
an automobile il was feared that he
would not survive the journey. The fall
rendered him unconscious and over night
and day he remained in state OF
coma.
This morning hospital attaches were
agreeably surprised 10 observe that he
seemed a bit brighter and where yester-
day il was thought that the end was but
a question OF hours. to-day il was stated
that the young man has fighting chance
for recovery. Relatives at the hospital
awaiting every detail OF information that
comes from the patients bedside are his
wife and little child and his father. Blow
Is 20 years old
Men employed at the Consolidated
llarry are at loss TO explain clearly
he accident. II is known that Blow ac-
a carload OF grout up the in.
lined trestle 10 the dumping place. The
,ccident occurred az point where the
.restle crosses road leading between
.wo grout piles and whether or not the
ellow fell from the track or was pushed
,ver the edge Of the trestle by a stone
ire matters OF conjecture. One report
las II that he was riding on the car and
hat when a stone became loosencd from
he pile he was thrown over the trestle /

BETHEL QUARRY
STRIKE SEEMS
TO BE NEAR END
Conferences Being Held in Barre Will
Probably Result in Final Accept
ance of the Bill By Union
Tonight.

A progressive conference which began
yesterday afternoon, continued this fore
noon and will end, in all probability, this
evening, and in which the committee rep.
resenting the quarrymen's local in Beth.
|el, w. &. Clifford of the Woodbury. Gran
ite Co.. and Secretary +. W. Suitor Of the
international union, participated, is ex-
pected to bring an immediate conclusion
to the strike that has paralyzed the
granite industry in Bethel since April J..
Nothing OF a tangible nature could be
given out at the international quarry I'M
ion headquarters here to day, but there
is an undereurrent OF feeling that
quick settlement is to follow the tenta
tive compromise already reached by the
quarrymen and their employers. Final
action has been deferred until this even
ing, when the strike committee which
conferred with Secretary Suitor in Barre
this forenoon, makes its report to
meeting OF the Bethel quarrymen.
Measures looking toward settlement
were taken yesterday by the quarrymen's
committee and w. G.. Clifford, the general
of the Woodbury. Granite Co.,
when both sides agreed to compromise
by splitting the difference between the
wages asked by the union and the wages
offered by the granite company. Later,
according to the report given out at the
union headquarters to-day, general
meeting of the qnarrymen indorsed the
action OF their committee In accepting
the compromise and instructed the com
mittee to proceed at once to Barre and
lay the facts before Secretary Suitor
On an early train to-day, the committee
Of five arrived in the city. They are
Andrew Burns, Fred Clodgo, Joseph Ham
ma, Charles formally and A. j. Tenny.
Secretary Suitor, it is stated. was in
lined to look favorably on the proposed
settlement and it will be with his ap-
,roval that the committee recommends a |
inai adoption at a second general meet
ng of the union in Bethel tonight.
More than go quarrymen have been idle
n the Bethel quarry district since the
I'D agreement expired March 81 A cor
number of cutters, polishers,
jumpers, etc. have been locked out in the
Granite Co.'S sheds in Bethel.

differences between employe and employ
r were about to be settled but on each
occasion the settlement has been de-
