Cd ASHINGTON Aug. 5.-Gov-
M/I eminent control of coal mines
" is now within reach Of Eng
land, according to information in the
hands of the writer.
Thus the labor government Of Pre-
mier Macdonald seems to have
scored a partial victory at least. For
while MacDonald's party advocates
naturalization of mines, generally
held impossible of realization at this
time, it has forced the liberals. led
by Lloyd George, to take very adj
vanced position with regard ID the
democratizing of industry.
This means that while the labor
government may not put through its
maximum program, it should be
able to put through measures vast
ly beneficial to the ong-suffering
British laboring class.
What happened is this:
The Liberal party, spurred to
action by the necessity Of keeping
up with the trend of times. appointed
a committee to study and report on
the coal industry in Britain. Lloyd
George was made chairman Of that
committee.
Report Is Made
The COMMITTEES has made its re-
port It finds and recommends:
THAT naturalization would al
most inevitably lower wages, add to
the price OF coal and tend to destroy
initiative and efficiency.
2That there should. however, be
complete unified control Of the min
eraI resources OF the kingdom and
their development in tho national
interest
3. That the government should
buy out the 1000 royalty owners
Ghat Is, the owners Of the coal
lands) and that a small body OF roy
atty commissioners should be set
up.
4. That this commission should
then grant leases for the working
Of the mines on condition that the
mine Iessees provide good houses
modern, sanitary villages; recreation
grounds, public parks, a tree-plant'
ing program and so on for Shs
benefit Of the workers
3 That the miners themselves
should have equal say with mine
lessees, in the matter of general pol
icy of the industry, through repre-
sentatives of the workers sitting On
equal terms with their employers on
pit committees, or local mines; dis.
trict boards and in a national min
ing council.
Responsibility Unimpaired

have been worked out, executed re-

ton of mines remain unimpatred

None the less striking was the
Lloyd George committees proposal
for the electrdfication Of all British
railways and industries by means
of superpower stations in every coal
district
Coal could thus be consumed at
The pit-head and the electricity sent
over the country instead Of as at
present laboriously loading coal into
freight cars, and dragging it long
distances there to be unloaded and
converted into power.
This is not naturalization as Mac.
Donald sees it, but it Is a long step
in that direction is everywhere con.

pines, Norway Spruce and Douglas
Fir are we'll adapted to this purpose
The selection of trees for orna-
metal planting is largely a matter
of individual taste. Any tree at its
best Is highly ornamental. Pleasing
effects are more dependent upon ar
rangement than upon the choice of
trees, but 1t is beyond the scope of
this article to enter into discussion
of this interesting phase OF orna-
mental planting. Suffice it to say
that there is little chance for mis-
take in choosing for ornamental pur-
poses any of the trees offered, pro-
vided local conditions of soil,
moisture and altitude are right. II
in doubt, write US.
Instructions for Planting
If possible, plant your trees the
same day they arrive at the express
office. If necessary to hold them
over, they should be unwrapped and
heeled-in. This Is done by digging a
trench, placing the trees in 1t, and
covering the roots with fresh, moist
earth. When planting, you should
remove from the trench but few
trees at a time This is especially
important with evergreens, as the
exposure of the roots for two or
three minutes to the drying effects
of the sun and wind may kill them.
The soil for the planting site should
have as good preparation before
planting as you would give a garden.
: In planting, the holes should be
deep enough so that when the trees
are in place, they will stand little
deeper than they stood in the
nursery row. When setting the tree,
the roots should be spread out as
nearly as possible in their natural
position. Use the hands in replacing
the first few layers Of dirt, and see
that it is pressed carefully and
firmly about the roots. A little
water used in the bottoms of the
holes after the first few inches of
dirt are replaced will assist in bring
ing the dirt into closer contact with
the rootlets. Do not use too much |
water, and do not use any on top of
the soil after the hole is filled, as the
top soil should be left loose and |
pliable.
In the matter of spacing, the
tendency in ornamental planting is |
to plant too close. The object sought |
here is symmetrically formed trees, |
even in late life, which cannot be the !
case If the trees are crowded. For |
purposes, ordinarily the
trees should not be closer than forty |
reet apart or rarely thirty feet.
Care and Cultivation
Whatever the purpose of the
planting, whether for woodlOts,
shelter belts, or ornament, the trees
must be carefully cultivated in
definitely. This is especially import
INT the first several years. Leve.
surface cultivation should be the
Practice Livestock, too, must be
'igidly excluded. Address all orders

maximum amount of room at the
lowest cost. Cement floors, II prop
erly constructed, are warm and
easily cleaned and disinfected. A
regular system of spraying or dust

ate parasites.
FEEDING poultry properly is not
difficult proposition in Bingham
county. Desirable grains for mash
and scratch feed are corn, oats, bar
ley, wheat and peas, and these are
all economically grown on our farms.
Corn Is a desirable cultivated crop
and natures in this climate. Wheat,
oats, barley and peas are desirable
nurse crops for our alfalfa and
clovers. Alfalfa leaves and other
succulent feeds are grown on every
farm. Dairying is becoming an i'm
portant industry here, so plenty of
skim milk is available. Our uni
versity poultry plant has proven that
skim milk and peas are two deciding
factors in the most economical pro-
ductfon of eggs. Oyster she'll is the
only imported feed, so we believe
this is an ideal poultry section.
Since plans are being perfected to

and to place these eggs on the best |

turn the maximum amount of money |

Honey is high in food value and is
not considered a luxury, but real
food.
No matter how gentle the bull
may be, look out for him and take
no chances.
remember again that keeping a
farm account is the only way you
can find the leak.
You may butcher the scrub bull,
but if he had headed the herd his
work lives after him.
II you are figuring on identifying
the home grounds, the first thing to
do is to clean up.
Any old rooster and any old hen
won't do any more, they must have
good egg laying backing.
This is a great time for the COM
munity to get together and fix up
the school house or church.
1t is not how much can raise, but
how cheaply can l raise farm pro-
duce of the best quality, that tells
the tale.
After all, in this farming game,
we deal with Mother Nature, which
is considered more dependable than

Suggestions for Making Your
Selection
For southern Idaho, where the
trees are to be grown without irri-
cation, and where the annual precf-
pitation is not less than LIS inches,
we recommend Black Locust, Jack
Pine, Western Yellow Pine and
Douglas Fir. If the yearly precipi-
tation is eighteen inches or more, to
the above may be added Scotch Pine
and Blue Spruce.
Where the annual precipitation Is
twenty inches or more, or II the
trees are to be grown under irriga-
ton, any of the trees we oher may
be planted in either the southern or
the northern part of the state, within
attitudes, e. G, up to
1000 feet The spruces offered will
succeed in elevations up to 1000
feet.
For narrow windbreaks, the ever
green's are especially suited, since
they hold their leaves the year

CARPENTER TO QUIT
IF LOSER TO TUNNEY

NEW YORK, July 9-If Georges
Carpenter is defeated by Gene Tun-
ney, American light heavyweight
champion, when they meet at the
Polo Grounds on July "a. the French
man will hang up his gloves for
good and cancel all future engage
ments. This statement was made by
Francois Descamps. the Frenchman's
manager, today in discussing the Pa
risians chances with the American
champion.
Carpenter has booked matches
with Young Stribling. Macon Ga,
school boy, and Jimmy Slattery, Buff
falo light heavyweight, both of which
bring him fat guarantees, but
these will be thrown into the discard
if the Frenchman loses the decision
to Tunney.
In relating facts incident to Car
pentier's defeat at the hands of
Dempsey, Descamps alleged that Car
pentier's true weight the day he
stepped into the ring against the
champion at Boyle's Thirty Acres in
1921 was 16S pounds, while Dempsey
tipped the scales at 100 pounds.
Both Carpenter and Descamps will
be in the corner of Barthelmey Mo-
linero, French middleweight, when
he meets Phil Krug of Newark at the
Laurel A. c., in Newark, on Monday
night. Molinero is a protege of Car
pentier's and a member of his staff
of sparring partners.
