MAKE FORTUNES
OFF STRAWBERRIES
English Farm LabOrers Buy Land and
Become Rich Raising
Small Fruits

LONDON. July l5.-"Manv men who
10 years ago were farm laborers now
drive their own motorcars"
That sounds like an extract from
story about California or some other
American state where farmers some
times make lot of money. But it isn't.
1t is taken from a report of the big
profits made in Hampshire, Kent, Lin
coEshire and a few other counties of
this old land by farmers who raise fruits
and particularly Strawberries. Such
tales are not often heard in England.
English farmers, as a rule, take more de-
light in telling tales of woe than Of we'll
being
Giving details of this agricultural
prosperity. the report says: In one
case man cut up a field of IL acres in
acre plots and offered it to the laborers
of the parish He had arranged the
payments to extend over 10 wears, but
nine of the 10 purchasers paid for it on
the spot. Within four years all the rest
paid -nD. One of them during the last
three years has sold 900 pounds wort h
of Strawberries from his one acre plot.
1t Is not to Strawberries alone that
such men turn their attention They
make good profits out of plums, apples,
cherries. gooseberries and currents
AT the time of the agricultural de-
preston Gladstone suggested that farm
ers should grow fruit instead of corn. His
suggestion was received with scorn and
derision by the old fashioned farmers.
One man, however. thought the expert
ment worth tryinp He has retired with
LARGE fortune. Hundreds of Others are
now following his footsteps"

PRESIDENT READY
TO SEIZE MINES
Decides lie Has Power 10 Operate
Mines and Railroads In Case of
Emergency

WASHINGTON. July l5-President
Harding considers that he has power as
.hief executive Of the United States to
,perate coal mines in an emergency, it
vas said yesterday at the White House.
There was no statement, however, as to
whether the executive considers the
present such an emergency, but the eX-
stence of power in the government for
he purpose has been definitely deter
mined in the minds of responsible off
ials, it was indicated.
About the only risk that President
,ould run in drastic action of the kind
involved in controlling mines to get
them operated would be that of inn
)eachment. a spokesman for the adj
ministration said. and President Hard
me-. ii was said, is willing TO take the
risk if he considers it necessary to
,erve the public welfare.
President Harding. it was said yes
terday at the White House. is OF the
opinion that in an emergency it would
not abridge the liberty of any railroad
worker to draft him into the service in
the event the government saw int to
take over the operation of the carriers.
1t was stated. however. that the eXecu-
tive believed the railroad situation
would not become so serious that any
such stem would be deemed necessary BY
he administration.

there is much more inspection Of
