Maintaining the conviction that sus pension of luird coal production* Septem ber 1 would be suicidal to both employe and operator, the government's action was said to be designed to furnish a medium through which conciliatory in fluences on both sides might operate with out damage to the strffifeic position or the dignity of either.

It was stated that no definite proposal bad been evolved at the white house meeting and Governor Pinchot’s first-move would be to ascertain whether a basis for further discussion exists, de spite the unequivocal tenor of the state ments issued at the conclusion of the At lantic City conference. Describing the relations of .Governor Pinrhot to tiie federal authorities as "solely co-operative,” a spokesman for the President pointed out that 1 his selec tion was a particularly happy one be cause the anthracite fields are located almost exclusively in Pennsylvania and m because of the unusual legislative safe guards thrown around the industry by state luws_ The possibility of the Penn- > sylvauiu statues licensing mine operations . being used in -the effort to reach a set tlement was discounted by Mr. Piucliot, however, .

C. ( SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1923 DIY’ERSIFICATION PAYS : _ ON AVERAGE FARM - J- P- Pillsbnry, Professor of Horticulture. Explains Meaning of Diversification. (By the Associated Fkss.) ‘Raleigh, X. C., Aug. 25.—A thorough knowledge of how .to employ the proper [ methpds of crop diversification constitutes the farmers chief basis for success, ac cording to J. P. Pillsbury, professor of ' horticulture of the North Carolina ex ! perimental stntion at State Colege here. In an interview granted yesterday Pro fessor Pillsbury cited interesting exam ples to bear out this statement. "A few years ago in Catawba county, widely known for its dairying, a farm survey was made," the. horticulturist ; said, "and in the course of the survey it was noted that the operators of 50 small farms had an average yearly labor in come of $125. In looking over the fig ures from which this average was deriv ed it was noted that two of these farm ers who made much more, one over SBOO and the other over SI,OOO. A glance at ’ the records disclosed the facts that the first was growing strawberries nnd mar keting them in neighboring mill villages, while the other was growing ,nursery stock. Not considering these two fann ers. it was discovered that the remaining 48. who were growing corn, cotton and other general farm crops, only received a net return of $53 for their labor.. It would seem that more of these small farms should have been utilized in grow ing horticultural crops, ami that, as nearly always is dig ease in dairy sec tions. the county as a whole should have turned its attention to its horticultural IKissibifities as well. "This instance is not city (I ■ with the idea of advising that all thgse farmers should have changed their farms as to crops and specialized in growing straw berries and nursery stock. An exchange of one or more crops for one or more dif ferent erdps is not diversification, and the horticulturist must practice the high-, est type of diversification to insure his success.” Diversification, he explained, has an entirely different meaning. It not only means the growing of a variety of fruits and vegetables and other crops, but also the keeping of some livestock, of various kinds, the production of food for the farmer himself and his family, the grow ing of timber in order to insure a supply of wood, and the surrounding of his homes with plants and flowers to make his house attractive and his hotnelife hap pier, Mr. Pillsbury continued. "The point is." he said,'"that with the horticulturist his horticultural specialty is merely dominant and occupies the po sition of his chief interest. The other things are added to his stock of interests to make his specialty secure. He finds it not only economically necessary, but profitable in many ways." The farmer must get rid of the idea that this is an. age of specialists, he de- KStavv-U concerned it is not. exeept in large cor lioratious, educational institutions and in some cases extensive farming operations. "It still takes an all-round man," Mr. Pillsbury said lie believed, “to run a farm, and the smaller the farm, the big ger the man must be in Ills knowledge of agricultural principles, such as soil arid other natural elements, the kinds and va rieties of crops that he can grow to ad vantage and of the menus and expedients best adapted to bis needs for diversifi cation in his particular situation and of how to utilize his products to the best advantage. Farms arc becoming smaller and smaller every day by subdivision and the day of the garden type of farming, as carried on in the older countries, is not far away.” ' BAKER WILL SPONSOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS Former Secretary of War Will Ask Dem ocratic National Convention to Endorse tlie League Idea. %> tor the Associated Frees.l New York.

GENEMERIS TO BE RETAINED BV ’ PRESIDENT COOLIDGE Marion Man Will Act as Physician to President’s Family, Under Plans An nounced at White House. APPOINTED UNDER LATE And Will Continue to Act as Physician Foj Mrs. Hard ing, For Whpm He Has Been Family Doctor. * V— (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Aug. 25. — Dr. Cjms. E; Sawyer, of Marion, 0., brought to Wash ington by President Harding to be White House physician with the rank of Briga dier General, will remain for the present at the post to which his lifelong friend appointed him. It was announced at 1 the White House today that President Coolidge has no intention of replacing him. Even though the position is one always re garded as involving a “personal appoint ment'.' by the Chief'Executive, Mr. Cool idge was said to feel that Dr. Sawyer's retention should be part of the adminis tration policy of "dosing ranks," and going forward without unnecessary * changes of personnel anywhere along the line. The announcement provided, however, that arrangements had been made to per mit Dr. Sawyer to continue as physician to Mrs. Harding, since'lie has been for many years the Harding family physi cian. It may be necessary for him to spend some time away from "Washington, but it is not expected to interfere with his duties at tlie White House. It has long been an axiom among the friends of Mr. Coolidge that lie never suffers from serious physical ills. Such minor medical attention his family lias needed since they came to Washington has been given them by Major H. F. Coupal of the Army Medical Corps, who is stationed here and will be available for any emergency in Dr. Sawyer's ab sence. Should the General decide later to resign it is probable that Major Cou pal would succeed as physician to the President. Lieutenant Commander Joel T. Boone, whir ns* physician on* the Presidential yacht Mayflower, has served for the past two years ns assistant White House physician, will be 'retained in that ca pacity and also will be available for duty should Dr. Sawyer be called away.

His report continues: “Ijack of a sense of responsibility is shown by neglect of work, failure to put the most important things first, and the expression of a general *1 should worry’ attitude, i •‘Unwillingness to work hard, is shown by being late to work, stretching the lunch hour, and stealing a few minutes at the end of the day. watching the clock, and wasting the time by social conversations and telephone calls during business hours. “Lack of .thoroughness, is indicated most frequently by unwillingness to be gin at the bottom *nnd to go through the drudgery of mastering each step before going ahead. “The real secret of promotion lies n constantly doing more than you arc' paid to do.
