REMOVE OLD WOOD FROM BUSH
 FRUITS


 A movable pruning school is being held in all fruit sections of Arkansas by C. Woolsey of the University of Arkansas and the county agents of those counties where fruit is raised. During December the school was held in northwest Arkansas, but during January and February it will be taken to other sections.
 MT. Woolsey gives few hints on pruning bush fruits, and in speaking of black raspberries, says:
 Pinch back the tips. of the new canes to the height of Is to "A inches on the season following planting, and then pinch back the new canes in the same manner each year. After fruit ing, all old canes should be removed and destroyed. In the winter, remove all the diseased or damaged canes. Thin the canes to stand from three to five of the strongest to each hill, after which they should be cut back
 "The canes of red raspberries should be allowed to grow at will each season. On the following season thin them out so that they stand about one to the square foot of space. The rows should e kept 12 to 15 inches wide. In the Spring the old canes should be removed early and the remaining ones topped to a height of five to six feet
 'In pruning blackberries it is inn portant to keep the suckers out. Re- move all old wood as soon as the fruit is harvested. Thin out the canes to three or four not later than the time of removing the old canes. Head or pinch back the young canes when they have reached height if IS to 24 inch es. In the spring cut back the later als to one or two feet in length

THE FARM LABOR QUESTION

The past season has shown that the vuestion of labor on the farm is one of vital importance. Seven million farms in this country needed additional la Dor. Some relief was accorded through the release from the army of thou sands of men who were either em- ployed in outdoor work previous to the. war or who through their army experience have come to prefer out door work to that which they were doing before they entered the army But the problem was not entirely solved in this way, as the supply of labor released through the demobliza- tion of the army fell short of the amount needed by the American farmer.
 The obvious solution to this prob lem lies in making the farm attrac- tive to labor and in making full use of all labor saving devices at the service of the farmers. Factory hours and factory wages still attract labor de- spite the fact that the actual working conditions are far less healthful than those on the farm. And of course city life, too, is powerful attraction. The farmer, however, is not at the disadvantage he once was. The trac- tor and other improved farm imple- ments have made work lighter and in the last year or so there has been a tremendous increase in the use of small electric light and power plants which not only give as bright and cheerful light as that enjoyed in the dity but which. furnish power for pumping, churning, milking, separat- ing, flashing and hundred other tasks which used to make farm life drud- gery. On these improvements rests the farmers chance of securing. the help he needs.

HEAT FROM EARTH's STORE

Having conquered the air and ex- plored 1t to a great height, why is it that man is content with merely hav- ing scratched the surface of the earth? A hole six inches in diameter penetrat- ing to a depth of T.579 feet is said to be the utmost limit of subterranean exploration ever made in this country. This is less than a mile and half. At Nero Velho, Brazil, there is a mine shaft sunk to a depth of about a mile and fifth. Engineers now declare that methods and machinery have been so improved in recent years it would be feasible to penetrate the earth's surface for number of miles.
 It is not denied that chemicals and minerals of great value might be dis covered through such undertaking, but the immediate prize would seem to consist in obtaining an unlimited sup ply of mechanical power from the bowels of the earth.
 Already some use is being made of the internal heat of our globe in vol canic regions of Italy, where the steam issuing from the ground is trapped and put to various purposes, but this is merely playing with the fringe of things. Boring sunk to great deptL through which water could be admit ted, could, it is said, result in supply of steam that would revolutionize our entire heating and manufacturing problems.

WHAT'S THE USE

The man who gives up his lifetime to putting science at the service of business finds himself eternally asked. What's the use?" Statesmen rise from their seats and say:
 T see that some scientist fattening at the government trough has meas ured ndred-thousandth of an inch. Whats the use?" Hard headed-solid headed-busi- ness men read of research depart ments and snort in disgust: "What's the use ?" The old rule of thumb is the common sense way"
 We think of railroads as progressive of railroad men as efficient. Are they? Not if the Railway Age is to be believed.
 There are only two test plants of locomotives in the country, one is owned by the Pennsylvania, the other at the University of Illinois. Only a handful of railroads try our locomo- tlyes on road service by means of dynamometer car Whats the use? One road that did found that by put ting an exhaust tip 3-8 of an inch smaller on Mikado type locomotive 1t increased the firebox temperature 400 degrees and saved $57,0O0 a year in coal. On another line tests made 1t possible so to alter locomotive as to reduce it's fuel consumption 10 per cent and permit it to haul three more passenger cars on less coal and water.
 That's what's the ue!-The Nations Business.

MORE TRUTH

By JAMES J., MONTAGUE

THE MYTH Mo so to a dance?'' said the cave n man In response 10 the plea of his wife. Me go to dance? Say! There isn't
 chance. Huhl Nixiel No! Not on your life. don't like these head waiter cos
 tumes. Those foot wagging fellows arg

 the floor In his pumps and his head-waiter
 suit. Treat 'em rough, is my way" said
 the cave man, Don't let the James get the whip

 mand. If the wife wants to go to bridge
 game take down a book from the shelf. She always can go, but I want her
 to know, That she goes by her little old
 self" So spake, in the might of his wisdom The man with the dominant meins But at nine he remarked, as his high
 ball he parked; "Ill make it no trumps, Mrs. Green We hear a great deal of the cave
 man, As he lived in the past and the
 present. His manner is rough and his accents

Did you have nice banquet last night?" asked Imogene.

 Lots of good things to eae?" in- quired Imogene.
 The best the market affords" re- piled Andrew. They had canvas back duck, terrapIn. and smithfieid ham,
 My" exclaimed Imogene, that must have been nice"
 "Yes," said Andrew. If We are to judge from what 1t cost 1t was very, very nice, but to judge from the way 1t tasted, l should say the duck was reared on dried herring and that the terrapln was made up mostly of bones. I don't see why 1t is that these fashionable things are so very hard to eat.
 ''I have wandered up and down this broad land of the knave and the home of the spree looking for a banquet, at which l might get something fit to eat rather than something that cost a lot of money. I would like to get some of the things we used to get back home when there was ban quet.
 "I would go 100000 miles on foot to eat another such banquet as they used to set at the Methodist meeting house just before conference.
 'I remember the piece de resist ance now. l can close my eyes and recall it like I can the face of my mother or my first sweetheart. It was baby pig roasted whole.
 T can sec that pig now. Because the gods loved him he died young. Then after he died everybody loved him and no pagan even bowed down before his god of stone with mora reverence than bowed before that sucking pig.>
 "Hs was roasted whole and came on the table with smile on his lius.

PROSPERITY DOES NOT DEPEND UPON

Great interest is manifested throughout the coun try in the coming special session of Congress for is expected that the policies of the Administra tion will be quickly developed after Congress con yenes. And a great deal the veal or woe of tn, people of this country and the world will depend upon the wisdom of the program that may be car ried out.
 However, the most important thing in connection with the development of the Administration program will be the psychological effect of the developmen, itself No matter how wise and sane the policies O. the Government may be the people will soon learn after their pronouncement that they must aftet all, depend upon themselves for the good times they hope for. Good times be brought about in this country. not through legislation, nor through tho distribution of the offices, by hard work and con sstent thrift. More important in the progress O. the country than the men in high offices are those throughout the country who are engaged in the every day tasks of private life. The councils that held daily about the fresides in the homes of the Nation and in the offices more important and more far-reaching in their results than those which held in Capitols and State Houses The decisions upon the acreages that to be applied to different crops, the decisions upon the number oL men that to be employed in this industry and that farm, the decisions go to work instead or remaining idle. the decisions savings accounts the decisions make the conditions as they

New NOrthIand Attractions.
(Dawson News. ]

From every indication capital will be com ing into the Northland, including Yukon, Mackenzie and Alaska, during the coming summer
 Yukon will share indirectly if to some extent directly, from the rush into the Mackenzie. Already there rumors of tourist route being planned down the Mackenzie and out by way of the Porcupne River and the Yukon. Far-fetched this may seem, travellers may be expected to attempt the trip especially thos desiring little outing ex- perience in crossing from watershed to another.
 The general benefits to to Yukon from the Mackenzie boom may be expected in the way of the wider prospecting and development in terest created in the Northland. It will be remem- bered that Interior Alaska and much of the coast slope of that territory received little attention until the Klondike strike electrified the world Of the they would have a better chance in other part of the North than right in the heart of the district, where the first strike made they spread, and their efforts not in vain. The big camps of Nome, Fairbanks, Kennecott, Iditarod and Ruby opened eventually, while many smaller camps also established. But for the Klondike strike, Alaska might yet have been dormant in many parts which years have yielded tens of millions in mineral and other products
 Likewise Yukon may get share of the overflow of the Mackenzie rush. The general dissatisfaction Alaskans will be coming North soon. Dawson and the Mayo district may, expect their share of the influx, and should get ready receive the prospecos the miners, the investors and the others who will come. The day of new opportunities is at hand

A CONDITION AND NOT A THEORY.

The fisheries question as it presents itself to the people Alaska is another case of having to deal with condition and a theory For dozen years people have 'wrangled the proposition to whether we should abolish the salmon traps regu- late them Tn the meantime nothing has been done, and the fisheries have been going through pro- cess of gradual depletion. Politicians have usually refrained from offering solutions. They have found it popular to criticise the proposed solutions than they have take affirmative action
 The time is hand when the people will have little patience with continuation of this of criticism without offering any solution of the ques- tion They want affirmative action. It is up to those who criticise the solutions offered by who have been working this proposition to offer something better than has been proposed.
 People of Alaska in considering this question should overlook the facts Legislation to regulate the fisheries from Congress. There have been approximately $75,0O0,0OO invested in the canneries and traps of Alaska As Senator Britt so truthfplly has said the constituents of the Senators and Representatives in Congress who are interested in the fisheries of Alaska interested shareholders in the companies which have invested this vast sum. It is almost a foregone conclusion that Congress would not permit the abolition of the fish traps if the people of Alaska believe it would be de sireabie and there very few disinterested peo- pie who have made careful study of the situation who Believe it would be the proper thing to do.
 However, the people of Alaska through their Leg islatupe, should take definite and positive stand onthe -question. It will be sufficient simply to sit back and throw bricks solutions that are of fered in good faith
