FIRE BLIGHT is
HURTING APPLES

Rogers, Ark, May 2.-That fire
blight, one of the most insidious
enemies of the apple grower is ser.
iously damaging the early apple crop
of Benton county was the opinion ex-
pressed by G. NJ. Lincoln member Of
the State Plant Board and prominent
orchardist of the Bentonville section.
Mr.. Lincoln is practical apple
grower of many years experience and
since his connection with the Plant
Board he has made special study of
diseases and pests that menace the
apple industry of the state, he finds
the greatest damage from the fire
blight, in those orchards in localities
where pear trees and pear orchards
are maintained. The fire blight
on the pear tree and is
carried from them to the apple orch
ards, causing not only the loss of
large part of the crop but doing
serious injury to the trees by destroy
ing all new wood growth.

HARDING MEETS
UNION OFFICIAL
Personal Consideration of Coal Strike
Is Given BY Chief Executive.

Washington, May 4.-Presdent
Harding gave his personal consider
alton to the national coal strike today
when he conferred at the executive
offices for two hours with John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, and Secretary Davis, of the
department of labor. At the conclus-
ION of the conference Mr.. Lewis, with
the approval of Secretary Davis, said
the discussion had been upon certain
fundamental conditions in the indus
try, but beyond this nothing could be
said. The strike from the union
standpoint, he added, was developing
normally and without any breaks.
The strike and its relation to the
general economic situation has been
considered at recent cabinet meetings
and exhaustive studies of the coal
situation have been undertaken in CO.
operation with leading corporate pro-
ducers and operators associations by
Secretary Hoover. Recent white
house suggestions have been to the
effect that the government might
have something to propose to both
miners and operators were given to-
day that the labor department might
make public in few days state
lnent concerning the strike. Actual
participation in the strike was not ex-
pected, however. President Lewis left
for New York tonight.

commerce, industry and finance was
thrown out of gear
For two years we have been de-
fiating. For the past two years those
who have produced or those who had
something to sell have been obliged
to take less, not because of over-pro-
duction, but because those who con-
sumo or those who need to buy were
failing to produce or had already mort
gagged the future beyond their abil-
ity to perform, at least for the time
being. This period of readjustment
and defation has brought its usual
quota of losses. defaults and failures.
Everybody has helped to pay the pen
atty. We call these lean years. Ev-
erybody wants to know how long it
is to be. Everybody wants to know
when times will be good again. Who
can answer?
1t seems to the writer that times
will begin to get good again when ev-
erybody realizes the necessity of in
dustry and economy, when waste, ex-
travagance and speculation have been
minimum, and when production and
distribution become somewhat bal
anced 1t appears to the writer that
this has nearly happened and that

am sure, make progress, though for
the immediate future we may not make
as much progress as we did in some
OF the recent years which have Just
passed. All that is needed is heads
up, faces to the future, a little cour-
age, little common sense, faith in
ourselves, faith in the stability and
resources of cur great state, and con-
fidence in the ability, intelligence and
productive capacities Of a splendid

KEEP SOME BEES

Most bees, if permitted to swarm
naturally, will about double them
selves every year; so, when a begin
ner starts out with one or two col
onies, it is only a few years before
he has large sized apiary The cost
of operation, with few colonies. is
small and the time required for their
care is of no real Importance.
Many people could easily have a
colony or two of bees in their gar
dens. while the industry could be en-
larged by more beemens going into
the business on larger scale. Honey
producing plants in Florida are album
dant; and they wait in the woods for
the bees to gather their nectar.
While there are some troubles with
which the beekeeper has to contend:
such as certain diseases, the wax
moth, ants, etc., generally the year
ehds with the beekeeper having a
nice balance to his credit. In fact,
his balance is usually much greater
than his who has some other hobby
or business, if we consider the amount

The tendency of sugar-cane syrup to

ing. Recently, however, the Bureau
OF Chemistry of the United States he.
partment of Agriculture has developed
q new process which promises to do
away with these difficulties. This new
process calls for the use of invertase.
which is an engine made from yeast.
Already a number of manufacturers
are trying out the invertase method
on large scale
Sugar-cane syrup contains rwo
kinds of sugar, sucrose and invert
sugar, the former in much the larger
amount, but the degree of sweetness
does not depend at all upon the pro-
portions of these two kinds of sugar
Sucrose, however, crystallizes much
more readily than the invert sugar.
BY adding a. small amount of invertase
to the syrup in the process of manu-
facture, it is possible to change some.
