mand and suitability for canning
Many garden combinations Other
than those suggested are possible
For instance, If the community is
interested in canning soup mixtures
| and Creole sauce, they must secure
from their gardens tomatoes. pep.
pers, okra and onions. In fruit-grow-
ing sections the girls are advised
when conditions are right, to substi-
ltute from 5 to 10 fruit trees for
one of the vegetable crops. The
member then becomes responsible
| for the pruning, spraying and gen
leral care of these trees.
The development of crops of pc
rennial vegetables and fruits is in
sisted on at the end of the third
lyear, and in many cases the work is
begun at the end of the second year

some OF the annual vegetables and
the girls are given credit for the
condition of their bushes or trees
which are not yet bearing and there
fore do not yet yield a product that
can be counted in the canning score
1t is hoped that as result of this
planting of perennial fruits and veg
etables several thousand of the girls,
before many years, will have at the
end of their junior garden perma-
lnent gardens containing some such
profitable combinations as the fol-
lowing;
Strawberries. asparagus and cher

fOUR-YEAR GARDEN COURSE
IS PLANNED FOR GIRLS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan 81
To meet the demands of thousands
of southern girls who have been
successful in raising a tenth-acre of
tomatoes and who want to Ego on, -
the representatives of the depart
ment of agriculture and the state
| colleges in charge of the canning
clubs in the fifteen southern states
have worked out what might be call
ed a progressive, four-year practical
gardening and canning course for
girls. The purpose of this course is
| to start the girls with one crop and
| from year to year add new annual
crops, encourage them to run win
| ter and glass-frame gardens, and
| finally in the course of their work
| to lead them to plant perennial small
and orchard fruits. 1t is hoped that
under this system the girls will gain
variety of garden vegetables and
/ trees and that the member by the
time she gets ready to go to high
school or college will have garden
iof perennial fruits that readily can
be cared for by other members Of
her family.
The first year of girls club work
Throughout the Southern states con-
sists in raising tomatoes in tenth
acre gardens. 1t is believed by those
in charge that every girl should first
master this plant and learn how TO
utilize or sell its products before
she takes up other vegetables and
fruits. In sections where tomatoes
suffer from blight and wilt, however,
lit is sometimes necessary to substi-
jtute another garden crop.
The second-year girls continue TO
| grow tomatoes on one-half of their
garden space and devote the other
half of the space to one other crop.
preferably beans, peas, peppers, okra,
ibeets or onions. The girls also are
Encouraged to start winter gardens
lin the late summer and fall on one
fourth to one-half or the tenth-acre
plots. Lettuce, spinach and kale are
the crops recommended.
The third-year girls grow three
crops, continuing the two that have
been grown the second year and add
ling cucumbers, eggplant, fig tomd
| toes, satisfy, parsnips or horserad-
lish. In each case those in charge

The Port Gibson reveille., 1916-07-20


A general survey Of wage condi-
tions in the railway service and in
other industries, it is believed. would
show that in the last fifteen years
the highly organized and favored
classes of railway wage earners have
had their incomes increased more
than almost any other class Of work
ers in the country, while the much
more numerous, but less effectively
organized classes of railway workers
have probably received rather less
increases than other industrial work
ers in general.
In view of the strong feeling that
these most fortunate classes of the
railway employees are now making
excessive and unreasonable demands.
attention is now being called as
never before to these general dis
crepancies. There is strong dis
position to inaugurate general and
sweeping investigation Of the whole
question Of railway wages with al
view to establishing some sort Of pub
lie regulation not unlike that already
applied to railroad rates, in the in
terest Of employees and public alike.
Meanwhile, there is marked indis-
position to extend further favors to
those classes already most highly
favored, at the expense Of other
classes of employees who appear to be
getting very low wages.

the same time, telegraph operators
and dispatchers were getting an aver
age wage Of 1882 per day.
If the increased cost of living for
the s4.S9 conductor necessitates a
large increase in his compensation,
whore does the $2.52 dispatcher come
in?
No demand is being urged on be-
half Of the operators and dispatchers,
and some of the railroads have lately
been intimating vigorously that If a
big additional burden must be laid
on their labor funds they would like
to give the benefit to the poorer paid
classes of employees.
The truth of the whole business Is
that, as a whole, the railroad en-
ployes OF the country are not very
highly paid as compared to other peo-
ule A few classes of railroad men
are paid very high wages. The most
fortunate of all these classes are the
engineers, fremen, conductors and
brakemen.
Rate Rising hapioly
Not only are these four classes paid
much more literally than other en-
ployes, but the figures show that
their rate of wages has been rising
more rapidly than that of any other
classes.
In 1914 the Interstate Commerce
Commissions report showed the num-
ber Of railroad employees for the en-
tire country to be 1,710,296. Out of
this number there were 62,021 en-
gineers. 64,959 firemen, 4S,201 con-
ductors, and 1S6.s09 other trainmen;
a total Of 81. $50, or just about one
sixth of the entire number
At that same date, the number Of
trackmen, exclusive of foremen, was
Ss7, ,451. That is, the number Of COM
mon Iaborers on the section was
greater than the entire roll Of en-
gineers, iremen, conductors, and
brakemen. Yet this huge army Of
trackmen was working for an aver
age wage Of $1.5S per day, while en-
ginesrs were getting $500. fremen
were getting $2.1S, conductors were
getting $4S9, and other trainmen
we're getting $3.04 These figures are
the commissions averages for the en-
tire country.
