The Elberta is the best advertised
and most widely known fruit In the
world. and MIR. Barrow says that the
average person knows but Of two
other varieties, when there are ex-
actly 2,200 listed varitics of peaches.
Most people imagine a peach tree
lives Z or years. This is true of
many trees that are not given any
care from the time OF planting un-
til their death. Mr.. Barrow has
some peach trees that are IS years
old. and out in California there are
two peach trees still bearing that
were planted in 1850.
In fruit culture, Mr.. Barrow finds
that business men with a ponchant
for the farm make the hest fruit
growers, as the average farmer will
not give the trees the attention they
require Along this line MIR. Bar
row said
10 you think the average farmer
would do better at growing fruit
than the city man just drive along
n county road and observe the abso-
Lutte absence OF anything like care

on the average farm
Mr.. Barrow said that much attcn-
tlon should be given to picking,
packing and marketing OF fruit

Wkolesal and retail groccrs OF
Tulsa figure that Tulsa alone i'm
ports annually 25 cars OF 500 bush
els each Of peaches. worth S3.50 per
bushel. This is not all that Tulsa
could use, but all that she can get.
Eight cars OF plums and apricots of
500 crates each at $3.50, total SIG
600. Four cars OF cherries at 81. 400
per car adds $500 to the fruit bill.

$50 cars OF apples each year at S2,-
400 per car. or $4,000.
Mr.. Barrow says that Tulsa did not
get all the fruit it wanted in 1921,
but only what IL was offered. The
wholesalers report that $1,250,000 of
canned fruits come in annually. maxi
ing the fresh and canned fruit bill

The Good in All of Us

From early days in the worlds history man.
kind has been prone to believe that one genera
ton of young people is worse than the preceding
one. Fathers and mothers usually believe their
youth was passed among ideal conditions and
that the children of today considerably more
arrogant, thoughtless, impolite and hayward
than they were.
Stern moralists in all ages have severely
criticized the youth of their day and rated them
worse than were their parents in the preceding
generation If what every critic said OF the
youth of his generation were true, the cumula-
tive effect of youthful extravaganza and folly
would have presented us with very bad set of
fathers and mothers today.
The chances are that the weaknesses OF the
youth of any generation are essentially little
worse than those of the preceding. Youthful
folly may assert itself differently in one genera
ton, but the degree of its evil probably is no
worse than that of the preceding
Apropos of this, the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat
remarks that this is now subject and adds:
'The world has been wild and youth could
not help but take on the aspects and the manner
of it's wildness. 1t is symptom, not disease.
And it is passing Has it worked moral de-
generation of youth? 1t has not. The average
youth of today, girl or boy, is sound. The liam
boyances of the day are superficial. They have
touched the surface of youth with garish pig
ments, but they have not married its soul. For
somehow, the soul of youth is commonly steered
safely through the perils that beset it. Much
that we think is corrupting somehow does not
corrupt The world is filled with men and
women, staid and respectable, who were wild
things in their youth, and by far the greater
part of the wild youngsters of today will be the
respectable fathers and mothers of tomorrow.
Most assuredly we need better homes and a num-
! Der of other bettered influences, but after all
there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough
hew them how we will, and youth in particular
is never without it's guardianship"

O. Is It true that miners have to
trade at the company store, and that
the operators make great profits from
running the stores and owning the

A. Necessity is as a rule the COM

ers trade at company stores, rent
company houses, employ company
doctors, etc. Many mining camps are
located on company property and are
not incorporated towns. The houses

III
necessity, or the convenience of the ar
rangement, that leads him to make
this agreement. This form of the
check-off protects the company against
loss and enables it to sell goods to
the miner at comparatively small
margin of profit. There may be cases
in which the miner is exploited under
this agreement, but various investiga-
lions that have been made show that
such cases are exceptional. The
union miners contend, on the other
hand, that they have the same right
to arrange for the check-off of their
union dues and fees that they have
to agree to the check-off that is solely
for the benefit and protection of the
company.

Arbor Day

Arbor day is growing in Importance in the
mind of the American people. Ten years ago.
its significance was not appreciated as fully as
it is today when our forests have been depleted
and the problem of tree conservation has become
of paramount Importance
Fifty years ago Arbor day was first cele-
brated in this country Today it is observed in
almost every state of the Union. The annual
celebrations have developed marked increase in
trees and the necessity of reforestation all over
the country so that posterity will be assured a
supply of timber.
In Indiana, the state conservation commits
sion has been zealously promoting interest in
trees, and by practical demonstration has shown
farmers that it pays to plant trees on soil that
cannot be used for the raising of crops. Barren
hilsides are being planted with trees and much
waste land is slowly being covered with trees.
The planting of thousands of trees in the last
year to honor the memory of the men who fought
in the World war is another indication of how the
practical message of Arbor day is being COM
bined with the sentimental.
The annual observance of Arbor day will tend
to keep alive in America its interest in trees and
will encourage the coming generations to plant
trees The economic value of trees to the soil OF
country is best illustrated in China, where bar
rem wastes of many square miles attest to the
folly of cutting away trees and failing to replace
them.
Our own country cannot afford to denude it,
land of trees The devastating effect of erosion
in regions where trees have been cut down is suf
ficient warning Many corporations whose finan
cial future is dependent upon trees are planting
vast acreages with trees. Their logged off lands
are being made valuable by the planting OF tree
