BIG PEACH ORCHARD
IN MARION COUNTY
A. T. Heck, Farmer Near

Young Trees.

Few persons know that there is an
orchard in Marion county with over
one thousand peach trees in it Tho
orchard Is owned by A. T. Heck and
is situated a short distance above Bar
rackgille on one OF the highest points
in the county.
MT Heck has cultivated his orchard,
which IS now four years old, continual
~. The excellent care of the trees has
resulted In the fine growth of the
orchard, which has been especially no.
ticeable during the past year. Last
year the orchard was sown in NAM
moth clover which will not be removed
but will be left as fertilizer. Mr..
Heck believes that in order for trees
to grow and produce, they must be
fed
he has also been successful with
alfalfa, which he contributes to the
use OF fii7e. He has secured small
crushed and brushes his own lime
stone. He breaks his land early In
the spring and cultivates every two
weeks to keep down the weeds until
mid-summer. He then sows when
moisture conditions are favorable.
Besides his alfalfa and peach orch
ard, Mr.. Heck also takes great pride in
his apples. Last year Mr.. Heck had
some fine apples on display at the
Office Of the county farm agent. He

could not but be impressed with
this fact recently as walked down
the street one morning after a par
ticularly hot spell when overnight
the thermometer had gratefully drop

had for days been greeting me with
long, msmiling faces, with dropping
shoulders and heads and tagging steps,
scarcely making audible their greet

toward me with heads held high,
shoulders up, faces wreathed in smiles
and with springy step and greeted me
with Hello there isn't this a fina
morning?" or this is the kind OF a
day that makes life worth the lfy-
ing, isn't it?'

keep in mind:
This price rising business, remem-
Der, is no new thing. Wholesale
prices OF "an commodities" have been
rising slowly but surely since way back
in the '90s. In 1886 the prices were
two thirds of those in 1915. But las,
year the prices were double those in
1915.
The gradual rise, therefore, that hao

U. S. Department Of Labor.
Where the average union worker
earned dollars worth of food a dozen
years ago, he earned last year only So
cents worth. And he's earning less
today.
To be sure, the wages actually PAID
have gone up, Where he got one dol
lar IN 1907. he got S1.41 in 1918. But
meantime the food he could get for a
dollar back In 1907, has taken on a
price OF sos. The price of FOOD
MORE TEAM DOUBLED WHILE
HIS PAID WAGES INCREASED
LESS THAN HALF.
So REAL wAGEs--what a man
gets, not in money, but in bread, beans,
and sausage didn't go up at all. On
the contrary they WENT DOWN.
They went down from one dollar to a
wee less than 6s cents.

1t now develops that for the past
year Ashland has had no legal po-
lice court and all the fines imposed
and sentences passed are absolutely
Illegal. The other day the arrest of
Mr.. Perrine for intoxication resulted
in his denying the charge, not only,
~ employing Attorney Briggs to
attack the legality of the city court.
Briggs filed motion that the charge
be quashed on the ground that the
council in pretending to amend the
city charter transferring the city
court jurisdiction from the recorder
to a police judge had never been
legally passed and therefore the
Ashland police court was pretending
to act but did not exist by law. The
city admitted the point and discharg
