F each Crop Good in
AdairsviIle Section

ADAIRsVILLE. Ga. May .12.--
The peach crop in this vicinity is es-
timated at rs to 100 cars. The entire
crop has been sold, the price ranging
from $3.50 to So per crate, the aver
age being about $1.75. This is about
$500 per car. The growers are now
busy unloading crates and getting
them to the packing houses. The
fruit this year promises to be of
unusually fine size and color. The
advantage in diversity in farming is
illustrated in the fact that from
$50, 900 to $4,000 will be realized by
this commodity as a surplus crop.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 12.-
Spring merchandising in Seattle and

last year. This is the statement of
the retail bureau of the Chamber
Of Commerce after a survey COM
pleted today. Only, women's high

in demand. The jewelry trade is
dull. Trade is reported brisk in
women's wear, wkhile the reverse is

three million dollars as compared
with February 81, the strike of the
marine workers has paralyzed coast
wise traffic and seriously damaged
the export trade in lumber. AL
though both. the steamship owners
fight to the finishs, neutral opin-
ion is that an early settlement can
be expected. This is because of
the large available supply of labor,
skilled and otherwise, in coast sea-
ports.
The sixty day old strike of the
coal miners in Washington against
a reduction of wages to the No
vember 1, 1919 basis, could be set

leaders to vote. This at least Is the
statement of an officer of the

Oil men in this district are press

tions recently were lifted in the Mid

the commission has power to stop

letter of the National Wholesale Dry

The primary markets appear to

Ginghams are strong and well sold

in heavy demand with no indication

MIDWEST SEES END
| Of ECONOMIC ILLS
BY DICK SMITH

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May r.
With the wheat harvest little more
than month away, the middle west
sees hope of a solution of it's eco
nomic problems in a reopening of
foreign markets to American pro-
ducerS.
Crop estimates issued this week
by the Kansas and Missouri agri-
cultural departments show that the
condition of the whole crop May l
last year. The Kansas report fore
casts a harvest of 13S, $50 900 BUSH
els against 136,844,000 year ago:
The Missouri crop, based on present
conditions, is estimated at 42,262,000
bushels.
With a large portion Of last years
crop still on hand, little prospect
is seen of disposing of the coming
yield at a profitable price unless
a foreign market is found for the
American surplus.
The crop deteriorated in April due
to abnormally low temperatures,
which counteracted the unseason-
ably warm weather of March, but
despite this the condition in Kansas
was "a per cent as against 80 at the
same time in 1920.
Perfect wheat maturing weather
must prevail however from now on
if this percentage is to be main
tanned.
Predictions Of an early corn plant
ing season have failed because o.
the cool, wet weather.
Evidence of the financial condi-
ton Of the farmers is found in the
report of the Federal Land bank at
Wichita, Kansas, where in the last
ten days applications have been
made for loans totaling two and a
half million dollars.

Firemen Should Get Acquainted.
BARRE Times }

Writing in the BrattlebOro Reformer
n letter commencing the Brattleboro fire
department for chacking a very threaten
ing fire in a tive-stOry wooden building
Edward c. Crosby makes the suggestion
that the firemen, including the heads of
the department, should make occasional
visits to the larger and more important
buildings of the community in order to
study the conditions with a view to be-
ing prepared to fight fire in any of them.
This is along the line suggested by the
Times previously as being a very desir
able part of the training and prepare
tion of the Barre fire department It
would be highly advantageous if the head
of any fire department and his assistants
should make these more or less thor
ough examinations of the larger build
ings in a community. TO note the doors
and windows. the places of vantage from
which fire could be fought. the dangers
which would develop in the case of out
break of fire. Without this intimate
knowledge of the layout of buildings,
firemen are greatly hammered in fight
ing flames: and the handicap is greatly
increased if the fire breaks out at night
when locations are obscrred by darkness.
In a small community the firemen ought
to be SO thoroughly familiar with the
stairways and halls in the larger build
ings that they could, in an emergency.
grope their way through darkness and
smoke if called upon to do so. SO the
Brattleboro mans suggestion to the fire
department of BrattlebOro is q splendid
one and it is passed along to those whom
it concerns Familiarity with the sur
roundingS might avert a considerable
loss of property and save firemen from
death or serious injury perhaps.

If conditions at the Vermont state
prison are half as bad as reported by
members of the legislative committees on
penal institutions, who have just visited
the institution, the state should arouse
itself and correct conditions there at
once. No criticism of the superintend-
emt, r. H. Walker, is intended. Mem
bers of the committees and other state
officials declare him an able man doing
wonderfully efficient work under most
unfavorable conditions.
The worst conditions. members of the
committee report, are found among the
women prisoners in the institution. At
present there are 24 women prisoners
huddled into six rooms on the third
floor of the prison building, their beds
being placed so close together that a
person can reach from one bed to the
next. Their only exit is one narrow
stairway with iron doors locked at both
the top and bottom of the stairs. In
case of a serious fire in the building the
removal of the women prisoners would
be nearly impossible Only one toilet
and one bath tub is provided for the
women and these are in the basement of
the building where privacy for either
one is impossible. Their dining room
and recreation room are both in the base
ment, where no natural light or sun
shine is possible.
The walls of a new ward have been
constructed with the appropriation made
by the legislature two years ago, but an
additional appropriation of $4,000 is
asked to complete the structure. One-half
Of this new structure was planned as a
block of cells for women prisoners but
prison experts say male and female pris-
oners should be confined in an entirely
separate institutions, some saying they
should not be less than % miles apart
Members of the committees believe that
$4,000 would prepare the old house of
correction at Rutland for occupancy by
women prisoners and that the state
should remove them to that place for
the present. Some also believe a cell
system improper for the confinement of
women. prisoners and do not favor the
completion of the new structure at Wind
Sor.
1t would be prescriptions for one m
acquainted with the conditions at Wind
Sor to offer advice to the men who have
inspected the buildings and seen actual
conditions there. 1t would appear, how
ever, that the appropriation of $4,000
two years ago has been expended on a
mistaken plan; and the question before |
the present legislature is, Shall the |
state put $4,000 more into mistake, or
abandon the mistake and apply future |
on a correct plan?" 1t |
would seem cheaper to start on correct |
lines now than after the mistake is com
pleted. The Reformer believes the tax
payers of the state would prefer to fur
nish funds for the construction of a |
proper institution for the confinement of |
the women prisoners of the state to the
of mistake and discredit to

Ice Hockey.
BARRE TimeS.)

As a means for athletic development
and for recreation during the winter
months, the larger high schools of Yer
mont might turn their attention to the
game of ice hockey. Normal winter con-
ditions in Vermont are just suited to
this sport, and hockey would be a COM
paratively inexpensive form. of inter
school activities. At the present time
basketball is about the only form of
sport which the boys of high school age
can keep themselves occupied with in the
hours which are given to recreation; and
basketball affords an opportunity TO but
few boys in each school unless an ex-
tensive sytem of interclass games is
maintained. lee hockey would widen
the scope of winter athletics and bring a
large number of boys into muscular ac-
tvity who. otherwise. would not partici-
pate in sports during the closed-in
months of the year. few of the high
schools might form a league for the pur-
pose of setting a goal for their athletic
ambitions, and a very beneficial physical
result might be attained. The idea of
ice hockey playing ought to appeal to
the average -bloodcd boy of Vermont.

MAKING GOOD WILL COUNT.

The people of the United States are
responding to the call for help of suf-
fering peoples in all parts of the world.
There is every evidence of general good
will and sympathy toward such work as
Herbert Hoover's child-feeding in Eu-
rope. toward rehabilitation of devastated
areas in the war zone, toward the relief
of China's starving millions. There is
one thing lacking, however, in this
friendly attitude toward the people of
other nations.
There seems to be little appreciation
