CLEAN UP THE ORCHARD NOW
ALSO PUT MACHINERY IN
CONDITION FOR NEXT YEAR

Manhattan, Nov. 20.-f a man has
a sore throat in summer, he doesnF
wait till midwinter to gargle it. The
fruit grower who finds dead wood in
his trees does not, if he is wise, wait
till the regular pruning time to gel
rid of it.
Dead wood in fruit trees should be
eliminated at once, whether In
autumn, winter, spring or summer
points out Harold Simonds, extension
horticulturist in the Kansas State Ag'
ricultural college. It is worth while
right now to examine all trees and re-
move the dead wood.
POSTPONE the regular pruning OF the
trees till late in the winter, advises
Mr.. Simonds. From long experience
in fruit growing in the Yakima valley
and elsewhere, Mr.. Simonds has found
that in the late fall or early winter
trees are often not SO dormant thru
out as they seem. By doing the re
gular pruning late in the winter, On'
is sure to be doing 1t at the safes
time-when the trees have least life
in their branches.
Aside from cutting away dead limb
Mr.. Simonds suggests that the or
chardist plow his orchard now unless
it has been plowed within the las
three years. This is one Of the i'm
pOrtant steps in clean cultivation, re
sulting in destruction Of eggs AMI
larvae Of insects and putting, th'
ground into condition to conserve tn
moisture from the winter SHOWS.
Late fall and early winter are als'
good times to overhaul machinery am
pruning tools. It is a good plan to buI
such extra parts as experience show
wear out frequently. Among these an
noEzles and couplings. The orchards
should have q supply Of these on ham

WILSON TO ATTEND
PEACE CONFERENCE
President Announces His Inten.
tIOn TO Sail for Europe
In December.
WILL OUTLINE POLICY OF U. S.
Chief Executive Expects to Take Pari
In Opening Sessions Of the
Historic Gathering.

Washington, Nov. 19.-President VII
son will attend the opening sessions
Of the peace conference. This was
announced tonight officially. He will
70 Immediately after the convening OF
the regular session of congress on
December 2.
This official statement was issued
at the White House:
"The President expects to sail for
France Immediately after the opening
Of the regular session Of congress. for
the purpose Of taking part in the dis
cusBion and settlement Of the main
features Of the treaty Of peace. It is
not likely that 1t will be possible for
him to remain throughout the sessions
Of the formal peace conference, but
his presence at the outset is neces-
sary In order to obviate the manifest
disadvantages Of discussion by cable
in determining the greater outlines OF
the final treaty, about which he must
necessarily be consulted. He will, OF
course, be accompanied by delegates
who will sit as the Representatives OF
the United States throughout the con-
ference.
1.-THE names OF the delegates will be
announced presently"
Length Of Stay Indefinite.
How long the President will remain
abroad, he himself probably cannot
say now. The time for the conven'
ing Of the peace conference has not
been announced, but the general be
lief here is that It cannot be assembled
before late In December, at the earli-
est. II such proves the case, the
President will be absent from the
country for at least q month and prob
ably longer.
What plans the President may have
for his trip other than to attend the
opening Of the peace conference and
TO participate in the discussions
among the representatives Of the AL
lied nations, which will precede It.
have not been revealed. He undoubt'
edly will be accompanied by Mrs
Wilson, and It is expected here that
besides visiting Paris. where the
peace congress probably will be held
he will 20 to London and possibly to
Brussels and Rome.
Establishes q Precedent.
Mr.. Wilson is expected to receive
abroad q reception such as has been
accorded but few men in public life
He will be welcomed not only as the
President Of the United States and the
commander-in-chief of its armies and
navy, but also as the champion ol
world democracy.
In visiting Europe, the President
will be the first chief executive Of the
United States to participate In q
peace conference for the settling oi
issues growing out Of & war In which
this country participated, and likewise
he will be the first President to leave
North America during his term ol
office.

RICH MINES ARE IN
THE KANSAS DISTRICT

Six drills are being operated by the
Blue Mound Mining Company on the
north part Of its tract, on the Kansas
side west of Baxter Springs. The
company is blocking out the run OF
ore that is being worked by the Web
Der plant on the north, and that ex-
tends due west on the Blue Mound
tract.
The Blue Mound and Blue Diamond
mines, owned by the same company
and located side by side, adjoining
Treece on the east end, continue to be
among the best properties in the dis
trict. Together they are producing
right around 500 tons Of concentrates
weekly, a good share Of which comes
under the high grade rating and
brings the SIS price.
Within the past two weeks an ex-
ira rich run Of ore has been encoun-
tered on the Blue Diamond tract at q
point where no drilling had been done
because it was under the Blue Mound
pond. Drifting at depth Of 22O feet
the workers have opened up face ap-
proximately twenty feet in height
which is extraordinarily rich.
The Blue Mound Company has two
forty acre tracts at this point, two OF
them being east of the north and south
road out of Picher. On these two, sew
eral mill sites have been drilled out.
With the going properties, the Blue
Mound and Blue Diamond, five shafts
are being operated, and both mills are
being run straight through twenty
four hours. Only one shift in the
ground suffices to get out enough dirt
for this much milling.
The Blue Mound Mine was develop
ed by L. P. Buchanan and the present
owners. Buchanan sold his one-hfth
interest for 100000 q year ago. D.
w. Hoffman is now the general man.

SOLDIERS LETTERS

To Mr.. and Mrs. r. F. Hartley from
Their Son, Walter
Sunday afternoon. Nov. 18th.
Dear Parents and Bros:-Got your
letter today and was sure glad to hear
from you. It has been very cold and
blowing like fury. Sam Merriweather
and / went out this afternoon and
took 4 lot Of pictures. He expects 70
get to come home in about q couple
of weeks and he is so blamed happy
that he can hardly control himself
We have our choice Of staying and
finishing the course or signing up to
20 home soon, but we think that we
are going to get 10 come home about
as soon as the boys who ask for dis
charges and have failed, but If we
don't it will be only q week or two
difference and we figure that we can
afford to stay that long in order to
bet our commission. We are recon-
mended for commission in the OH
GERS Reserve Corps and discharged as
soon as commissioned, which sure
suits me. The list was published TO-
day of those who had been recon-
mended and my name was sure on II
SO / am feeling mighty good to know
that / haven't failed. It is sure some
reward for the hardest period Of work
and study that a man is capable Of
putting in. This much / know, and
that is that / have worked to the linn
it of my powers, both mentally and
physically and q man not Dragging
when say it. A man has got to be
both mentally and physically mighty
good. Only about so per cent Of the
men who come here make good and no
man can come here unless he has al
least a high school education and is
q good man physically.
Most Of the men here are university
men and at athletes, so you can judge
in q small way what and how hard q
proposition l have been up against
and am sure happy to know that the
end is in sight. I'll bet you sure had
a good time at Joplin. / am going
to have mine when l get home.
Our schedule for this next week
doesn't look 80 hard and if our officers
don't try to be so hard boiled it will
be more pleasant. Give my regards
and best wishes to all. Mother / ex-
pect to be with you all in less than q
month. Yours,
WALTER.

MAY CLOSE MINES
TO BOOST PRICE;
DARK BEFORE DAWN

At the meeting of the mine oper-
ators of the three states at the Con-
nor hotel at Joplin Saturday night, it
was decided to shut down the mills of
the entire tri-state district until the
surplus of $4,000 tons of jack had
been used by the smelters.
Resolutions to that effect were
drawn but it will be necessary to get
the signature of go per cent of the
tonnage to put the project over and
committee is hard at work to get
the signers.
Just what influence could have been
brought to bear on the 100 men who
attended the meeting is not known
but while no concrete action was taken
on the matter at the Tri-State club
Wednesday at Picher, every man who
expressed the opinion, believed that
the warehouse plan, if properly
handled, was the instrument of use to
make the smeltermen eat out Of the
operators hand instead of allowing
the opposite condition to exist as it
has for many years.
One thing is plain in the minds OF
the operators who are not biased,
that the application of the law of sup
ply and demand has nothing to do
with the ore situation, as theer is less
surplus metal at the present time
than at time for years, even less than
when jack was nearly three times
what it is now. The only way that
the supply and demand stuff will even
effect the buyer is for the ore to be
in the hands of men who can hold it
until the bins of the smelters are
busted and in order that the fires may
not 90 out they will pay what it is
worth for the output of the field.
Whether the warehouse will solve that
question or not remains to be seen.
1t is uncomfortable to many Of the
operators of the field, now a treaty
made by representatives Of the smelt-
ernen, the producers and the United
States government, could be treated
as a scrap of paper by the smelter
combine, but such seems to be the case
with one or two exceptions. The smelt-
ermen claim that the contract was
based on spot spelter but that when
January spelter was quoted at $7.75'
it was found Improbable to buy on
the contract, and seemed to think that
a reasonable excuse for failing to car
ry out their part of the agreement and
some of the operators agree with
them.
1t is thought that none of the mills
making high grade will close down
nor none of the heavy lead producers
as there is a good demand for that
kind of stuff but second grade makers
will proabbly shut down for sixty or
ninety days or until the ore on hand
is used.
The question of what is second
grade ore has been settled, in so Tar
as sludge is concerned, as a telegram
from the National Zinc Committee
states that sludge is supposed to be
dumped into it and the fellows who
have been telling the producers that
the sludge must be kept out of it is
out Of order.
| While the ore market outlook is
anything but rosy it is believed that
II is now the darkest hour, just before
the dawn, and that as soon as condl-
tions right themselves there will be q
great boom in the zinc industry and
it is certain that there will be great
deal of development work done to get
readv for the boom.
