FARM MACHINERY
 COMPANIES NEAR
 COURT, IS REPORT

Washington, April 27-Some of the practices of nation wide associations of manufacturers and dealers of farm machinery are. characterized as being of doubtful legality, tending to limit competition and increase prices, while a large part of them are held to be proper for protection of legf- timate interests, in a report by. the old Bureau of Corporations submitted to President Wilson. The report was drawn before the Bureau was merged with the new Federal Trade Commis- sion
 Almost every important rnanufac- turer of farm machinery, the report says, Is a. member of the National Implement and Vehicle Association, while the dealers have organized the National Federation of Implement and Vehicle Dealers Associations which is composed of numerous state and interstate associations. The two organizati ons are national in scope and work in close co-operaion.
 Efforts of manufacturers to fix wholesale prices, control of retail prices concentrated control of pa tents, opposition of dealers to direct CTS and consumers, as well als efforts to reduce costs of manufacture and distribution, are reviewed at some length The fight of organized deal CTS against competition of mail order houses the report says, has been carried to the extent Of efforts to have postal rates revised to increase charges on packages and to curtail advertising facilities of mail order houses by persuading manufacturers who sell through dealers not to ad- Ivertise in farm papers which carry mall order advertisements.
 The great problem of the dealers associations, the investigators found, was to find some lawful means of keeping members informed of manu- facturers who refuse to confine their trade to regular dealers
 : While the organized dealers, dis claim any intention of maintaining a black list or of instituting a. boycott against onyone,,s says the report, fit is clair that if they be permitted to disseminate information of this character, those loyal to the princi- pies Of their associations would re- fuse to continue business relad ions with offen ding manufacturers even in the absence of an express agreement to do so.''

PEACH CROP THIS
 YEAR OUGHT TO BE
 ONE OF BEST EVER
J. B. Hale, Glastonbury Expert, Says Outlook Was Never
 Better for Fruit.

J. B. Hale of Glastonbury. the Con- necticut peach crop sprophet, an- nounced yesterday that the outlook this year is a rosy one. Last year his announcement was full Or fore boding but this year he declares his prognosticat tions point to one of the best years ever.
 The promise was never so beau uful,' said MT. Hale, yesterday, "as 1t is today here and, for that mat ter, it. is the same all over the state. have never seen such 8 fine showing before in my life.
 ''If the weather continues like this the orchards will be in full bloom by Thursday. It is a little early but the Weathe CT has come and we can't help 1t and it is all right unless there comes a severe frost in May
 E'How about the Georgia crop ?'' MT. Hale was asked.
 There" was the reply. I've have a fair crop, neither a small nor a large one. Early frosts did Some damage to the orchards butswe still have an av- craze crop to market
 It is understood that MT. Hale's sen timents as to Connecticut peaches applies to the orchards in Southing- ton, Berlin, Middlefield and other parts of the state just as thoroughly as to Glastonbury. The severe winter -of 1913-1914 brought the Connecticut crop down to low water mark last year but if nothing happens in the six weeks the orchards ought to make good this year. It will be interesting news to Connecticut people.

"The entire future happiness OF q

York, according to the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, depends upon the successful
bringing out of his capabilities, for
upon that rests his choice OF a life
work. And the community suffers as
well as the individual If the boy or
girl is not properly employed to con-
genial work"
This is a phase too generally over
looked by parents and guardians. The
usual practice is to pitchfork a child
into any promising opening, without
much consideration Of whether he is
capable or suited for it. In many
cases, perhaps most, the necessity Of
finding employment overshadows any
question Of taste OF fitness The re-
suit is, of course, round pegs in square
holes, labor that becomes a task, a
veritable slavery. Some achieve sue.

could not or did not have an oppor-

they would have found satisfaction.
How much of the slipshod work, the
clock watching and general shiftless-
ness in the world is due to this mis-
mating Of the man and the Job. II

spoke up Robert, ex%uberantly, and he

He walked half way to the depot
with his visitor. He tried to obscure
his apparent act of u%nhospitality, but
Martin left him grateful and pleased

never a better housekeeper, but she
had never accepted his ideas Of being
