How rundown orchards may
again be made productive has been
shown this past season by Mr.. Dan
Futrell, a McCraeken county farm
er, who co-operated with County
Agent f. J. fitzpatrick and the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton in renovating a portion Of his
ten-acre apple orchard Forty-o one
rejuvenated trees produced 20 IA
bushels of first-class apples; while
three trees which had been used as
a chsck yielded only one-half bush
Ell of fallen apples. Last year be-
for ethe orchard was attended to all
the trees set a heavy crop of apples,
but only one-fourth of the yield was
salable and the remainder had to be
turned into cider. This year all the
apples from the forty-one trees were
salable and none were used for
cider. One-half of the Al trees were
mulched with manure and straw and
the remainder with nitrate of soda
and straw. All the trees were given
a light pruning, one dormant and
four summer sprays.
According to Mr.. Futrell's esti-
nation the proceeds from the crop
will be s156.5O. The cost for opera
alton was s57.05. This included the
spray material, all labor, deprecia-
ton on equipment, 40 per cent of the
straw and manure and six per cent
interest on the land.
During the year about 25 inter
ested farmers in Mr.. FutrelPs county
visited the orchard to study the
methods used and to watch their eff
feet on the crop of apples. The en-
tire ten-acre orchard was sprayed
and Mr.. Futrell states that his re-
turn from spraying alone will be
more than $1,000.

$4,000 Mexican
Indians Visit
Virgins Shrine

GUADALUPE, Mexico, December 19.-
Fifty thousand Indians from all parts OF
Mexico have just completed their week
Of homage to their patron saint. the Vir-
gin of Guadalupe and their pilgrimage
to the shrine OF the Virgin here, as sacred
a Journey as ever was made by Moham-
medans to Mecca or Hindus to the river
Ganges.
This ceremony maks the 3ssth anniver-
sary Of the traditional divine manifesto
ton which resulted In the conversion to
Christianity of virtually all Indians in
Mexico and led to the erection here OF
la magnificent cathedral, several chapels
and the shrine. 1t has been a week of
prayer. church-going and fiesta for the
Indians.
The incident from which the ceremony
had it's origin transpired. according to
tradition, in 1881. when an Indian is said
TO have met on the present cite OF Guada-
lupe village the appariton OF the Blessed
Virgin. who imprinted her image upon
the cloth jerkin the Indian was wearing.
This miracle so impressed the Indians
that a shrine was erected here and later
the cathedral and chapels. Through the
succeeding centuries this has been the
Mecca to which nearly all Indians OF
Mexico turn for one week during the
year.
JcrLin stiII Preserved.
The Jerkin bearing the imprint is still
preserved in the shrine, encased In silver,
gold and gems
f"Guadalupe Day." as the celebration is
'called is a strange combination OF de-
votion and unbrided hilarity on the part
of the Indians Guadalupe is within easy
access from Mexico City and the festival
always attracts many foreign spectators
from the capital.
Thousands of the natives who have
journeyed on foot or with burros for
hundreds OF miles come. bringing their
tiny charcoal stoves upon which they
cook their smelly food. and Tor bed
cur, themselves into a blanket and sleep
on the ground. At least 5000 OF them
were scattered over tho spacious plazas
and hills on the opening night, when the
ceremonies began with midnight mass.
The shrine at the top Of the hill which
marks the spot where tho divine mani
festation is said to have taken place is
reached over a rude pathway studded with
rocks and winding round the HILL Up this
roadway trudgc the natives, singing their
weird incantations and carrying offerings
of fruits, flowers and animals to the
Virgin. few OF tho more deVout cling

Carpenters in Plea in Behalf
 of Professors

Topeka, Kan., Feb. 21.--A plea for an increase in the salaries of the professors of the University of Kan sas, issued by the local carpenters union at Lawrence, is included in letter addressed by the union to the state board of administration. At the same time, the union asks that the state board increase the wages paid carpenters at the university from 52 cents to 75 cents an hous- the local scale.
 A unique situation is brought up by the Lawrence union in that 1t threatens to take before the new in- dustrial relations court it's petition to compel the state board of admin istration to pay higher wages to the university carpenters. If such a move were made, it would be the first instance before the court of employees of the state. seeking to obtain higher wages from the state through the state court.
 The letter was signed by F.J. Dunham, secretary of the union. The carpenters employed at the univer. sity are "full-time" workers. The ?5 cent rate sought is said to be con siderably more than is received by many of the instructors at the ufi- versity.
