Secretary Garrison was closely ques-

its relations to his project for con-
tinental army. 1t was clear that the
members of the committee do not want
to have the National Guard relegated
to an inferior position in the defense of
the nation Several suggestions were
made with the hope that a system
might be formulated whereby the. Ma
tiona1 Guard would be able to harmon
ize with the proposed federal volunteer
continental army. The Secretary said
that he is anxious to do everything
possible in that direction. He said
clearly, however, that in his opinion
the proper thing to do is to raise u
force that would be under federal con-
troll.

ORCHARD
GLEANINGS
PROFIT FROM HOME ORCHARD
Good Returns Can Be Obtained by Pay
ing Attention at Proper Time
Won't Stand Neglect.

That the average home orchard Is a
liability rather than an asset is thing
much to be regretted. However, this Is
true, for some orchards are too much
neglected to produce even good home
supply of fruit. Such an orchard occu-
pies valuable farm land on which it
pays neither taxes nor interest on the
money invested. The orchard Is not at
fault, 1t is the owner. If grain crop
or bunch of live stock was neglected
it would return even less than a neg
lected orchard. But with attention at
the proper time the orchard, like the
grain crop or live stock, will yield good
returns. The experimental work con-
Quoted for n number of years at Pur-
due has demonstrated that orchards
can be made paying investments.
The net profits of properly man.
aged orchard will average $126.34 per
acre every year. These results may
be obtained from the average neglected
farm orchards. Every farm should
have an orchard, but it should not be
so large as to demand more attention
than the owner can give it. If proper
attention cannot be given the fruit
trees it is better that they be cut down
and the space they occupy be given TO
other crops.
