Making the Little
Farm Pay !:
! By c. c. BOWSFIELD


Waste and neglect in the average ap-
pie orchard are plain evidence Of bad
farming. An orchard of a single acre
If properly managed will give reve-
nue. Of $500 or $500 yearly, and besides
this it is important to the owners fam:
lily. Fruit trees should receive intel
ligent care.
Orchards are not sprayed and pruned
in systematic way, because this kind
Of work can be put off, and there is
always something else demanding at
tention. Good farming gives every
feature on the place due attention,
whether the product Is for market or
merely for home use. If this be done
the fruit in small orchards will be
sounder and more uniform than it
usually is, the family will get increas-
ed benefit from it and revenue will be
gained at the rate of at least $500 an
acre.
When orchards are neglected the
fruit deteriorates in quality, and much
Of it is allowed to rot on the ground.
Even the farmers family gets only a
meager supply. An apple orchard
ought to be an object Of pride, and if
the owner feels that he is too busy to-
attend to it he should turn it over to

RURAL CARRIERS
ARE UP in ARMS
Conditions in Cumberland Are
Much Worse Than
Described

Carlisle, Pa, Oct. 2S.-The item ap-
pearing in last evenings Telegraph by
a staff correspondent relating to postal
conditions in Cumberland county was
ell true, but . it did not go deeply
enough into the situation as the people
of this county know it. Conditions are
really much worse than were painted
The writer did not know the hardships
to which the people of the rural dis
tricts have been placed since postoffices
were blotted out in wholesale manner
and rural routes heightened so that
mail is now delivered hours later than
at any time since bene1icent Repub-
lican administration established the
rural routes.
The rural carriers, of course, dare
not voice their sentiments openly, but
most of them carry around on their
inside pockets pamphlet the text of
which is "Remember-A Vote for Will
son, is a Vote for Burleson and
l3lakslee."
Eut the rural carriers do not need
to be reminded of what they have suf-
fered at tho hands of the Wilson ad-
ministration. They will tell anybody
whom they think will not carry tales
that they resent the unsuccessful at
tempt of Burleson and Bakslee to put
the rural service on a contract basis.
They also feel that they have been in
iured by the abolition of many rural
routes. giving those remaining in
creased duties without increase of pay.
This advance in pay. by the way, was
appropriated by Congress, but was
withheld by the great friend of la
bor," Woodrow Wilson, and his ap-
pointees.
Another matter that has gotten un-
der the skins of the Cumberland car
riers is that scores of rural mail men
the country over have been dismissed
in defiance of civil service laws in or
der to make places for deserving
Democrats" Also, the Cumberland
people have not forgotten that these
friends of labor" refused absolutely
TO confer with officers of the National
Letter Carriers Association upon the
needs of the service in this and other
districts.
1t is all very we'll for Democrats to
tell the voters that the hardships
placed upon the people of Cumberland
by the abolition of rural routes and the
cutting off of post offices long es-
tablished were merely intended to do
away with Republican eXtrava-
gances," but the voters will not forget
that while the Democrats were cutting
the throat of the postal service and
bleeding it to death in Cumberland
county they were pouring out millions
upon millions of dollars for the erec-
tion Of magnificent post offices in little
Southern towns hardly big enough to
be on the map and for the deepening
of creeks for steamboat purposes not
nearly so deep or wide as the Yellow
Breeches or the Conodoguinet. Nor
are they going to forget on election
day how they have been treated in the
past four years.
