Secretary Of agriculture-Henry C.
Wallace, Iowa.
Secretary of treasury-Andrew w.
Mellon, Pennsylvania.
Dcnby Is Surprise.
DENLY is the first real surprise in
the Harding cabinet. He came into
view after A. T. Hert. of Kentucky;
John Hays Hammond, California, and
ex-Congressman Foss. Illinois, had
been eliminated.
Harding said today that the choice
of an under secretary of state was
in the hands of Charles E. Hughes
who viii be secretary of state. Henry
+. Fletcher has been considered for
the post but Harding said that so far
as he knew, the matter had not been
c.osed.
Hoover Now Sure.
Herbert Hoover of California. and
John j. Davis of PENNSYLVANIA. yirtu-.
Why have been chosen for member
ship in President-elect Harding's cabi-
net.
y ttrtstive offer of the portfolio If

made to Mr.. Hoover, and the general
expccta tion here is that the former
food administrator will accept.
Nj. Davis, a former steel worker
and now a banker, is to be secretary
OF labor. if the cabinet slate goes thru
IS 1t now stands.
Other Places are Filled.
Meantime it became known that all
of the seven cabinet selections pre-
vicusly regarded as virtually certain
had been finally put into the class of
Certainties. Two of these. Charles z.
Hughes of New York for secretary of
state and Harry NJ. Daugherty of Ohio

nounccd by Mr.. Harding himself. The
Others are: VIII H. Hays of Indiana,

o. var; Andrew Mellon of Pennsyl-
vania. for secretary of the treasury;
Henry Wallace of Iowa, for secretary
o. agriculture. and A. B. Fall of New
Mcyico, for secretary of the interior.
There was hardly a glimmering on
the enigma of the navy selection.
Qualifications of the membership of
both senate and house naval commit
tcn lad been inspected. it was under
:. God. without revealing a likely
prosDect; it was also believed that the
possibility of selecting a southerner
had diminished greatly.

Fios Flourish in Poorest Soil.

Figs Flourish in Poorest Soil.
Consul Homer NJ. Byington of Ma
pies writes that the production OF
figs for local consumption and for eX
portatiOn is an important industry In
southern Italy. Fresh figs are q staple
article of food, especially for the
poorer classes, during the season, and
when dried in the sun may be kept
for considerable periods of time. Of
peculiar economic value is the fact
that they may be grown in soil too
poor for other crops. The trees are
planted irregularly and frequently on
steep hillsides along small terraces.
III certain provinces it is the custom
for landowners to enter into an agree
ment with the farmer whereby the
latter plants fig trees in the inferior
or waste portion of land, taking the
entire crop of stated number of years
and at the end of the contract return
ing the land in producing condition.
