HINTS FOR FARMERS


Glover Ms an Orchard Mulch.
Considerable publicity has been Civ
en- to the remarks of W. T. Macoun of
the experiment station at Ottawa,
Canada, made at the American pomo-
logical meeting in discussing the reno
vation of apple orchards. Mr.. Macoun
stated that the practice at the expert
mental farm had been to grow clover
In the orchard throughout the year.
AS the clover reached the blossoming
stage it was cut and allowed to remain
on the ground. The last growth of the
clover in the autumn was not moved,
but permitted to stand as a cover dur
ing winter. This system is in effect
a combination of green manurlng and
mulching. 1t differs from the ordinary
cultivation and cover crop system in
that cultivation is left out of the pro-
gramme.
A rather too wide application of Mr..
Macoun's remarks has been made. He
was careful to state that this practice
pertaincd to their own orchard and
was the outgrowth of peculiar soil and
climatic conditions. The subsoil of this
orchard is cold and impervious. The
region in which it is situated is rarely
visited with protracted droughts. The
object in growing the clover is to
aerate the soil, draw out its surplus
moisture and protect the trees from
the effect of severe freezing in winter.
Undoubtedly the clover mulching plan
may be applied quite widely. | believe
that it can be practiced with advan-
tage in many of the colder apple grow
ing regions, but do not think it would
be the best plan to follow in sections
where rainfall during the growing sea-
son was at all uncertain. In such sec
tons cultivation is essential.
The particular region described by
Mr.. Macoun is not a commercial fruit
section. Apples are grown in an anna
teur way, and fruit of fine quality is
produced, but no large areas are de-
voted to the industry John

HUMOR OF THE -FOUR
The Pr:ce of Liberty.

The Pr:ce of Liberty.
Reddy the Cinch breathed freely
again.
Not guilty." was the verdict.
After many hours of terrible suS-
pense jury of his peers, influenced by
the fervid eloquence and the falling
tears Of his lawyer, had declared that
Rcddy did not steal the safe but that
the crime was committed by his astral
body while it was projected into a
state of klcptomania.
Turning, he grasped the hand of his
legal champion. Holden Uppharde, the
celebrated criminal lawyer. who put in
his time wearing noisy diamonds while
the majority of his clients put in their
time wearing bangles on their ankles
at Sing Sing, Ossinng, n. Y.
"Well, Mr.. Uppharde, wots de dam
age?' Reddy the Cinch muttcred un-
easily, thrusting one hand into his
pocket with Il deftness born of expert
ence.
"We'l call it only a thousand this
time, Reddy," responded the lawyer.
"A t'ousandv' gasped Reddy. a

"A thousand trapped plunks and not
PUNK less" the legal luminary re-
sponded grimly.
Where were his tears now?
"-All I've got, you know, is t'ousand

take all you have, do your the lawyer
said Indignantly.

lawyer.

"Dat dere's honor even among

And, with an injured sigh, tear in

cold world to project his astral body
in the direction of another portable

1t is the fashion now in Georgia to
set pecan groves. The trees have been
found to grow and thrive well in that
climate. and they have varieties which
bear nuts as much larger than the or
dinary wild nut which we used to
know as the improved chestnut is
better than the small wild nut. Trees
planted fifteen 10 twenty years ago
are producing profitable crops, and
hundreds of acres have been set to
them within the last ten years, while
planting is going on now at a greater
rate than ever before. One man near
Columbus, Ga, is about to set eighty
acres. and it may not be long before
we see them coming by the carload for
our Christmas nut trade.-American

A plant which thrives in the arid re-
gion of the west is the greasewood, the
young plants of which have a milky
sap and the old wood Il resinous gum
known TO be soluble in certain hydro
carbon solvents of rubber. From the
young greasewood sap two inventors
have discovered method of making
artificial india rubber. BY this proc
ess they are enabled to obtain a gum
my mass of brown color, highly ileX-
ible, elastic, combustible and seems to
possess the characteristics of india
rubber, except that ii has rather bal
samic odor, differing from the odor Of
commercial rubber. The gum can be
yulcanized by the addition of guam

the india rubber of commerce.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

All manure for the garden should be
thoroughly rotted and fined
1t does not pay to keep up an old
orchard filed with worthless trees.
In Il majority of cases the cause of
unfruitfulness in orchards is lack of
plant food
There should be several kinds Of
small fruits on the farm in order to be
sure of Il supply.
All things being equal, young tree,
after transplanting, will make a better
growth than an older one.
The pruning of the grape should be
done early, in order to avoid bleeding,
which is not only injurious to the vine,
but unpleasant to see.
There is no farm crop that draws so
lightly upon the soil as fruits. At the
same time, however, liberal fertilizing
will aid materially in growing good
crops of fine fruits.

"That's Il laughing jackass," explain

points in The Tribunes Educational
Contest yesterday and still further in
creased his hold on first place. He is
now almost an even century ahead of
his nearest competitor, and also has a
pretty good hold on first place among
the leaders for the month. Herbert
Thompson scored ten points and now
holds seventh place by seventy-five
points. If Mr.. Thompson continues to
advance as rapidly as he has recently
those ahead will have to do some ac-
tive work to hold their positions. He
is now in seventh place, but those
above are very closely punched, and it
will only take forty-four additional
points to tie him for third position.
Others who scored points yesterday
were Eddie Morris, 81 Homer Kresge,
3; VIM. Il. S. Rodrigues. 2, and Will
liam Cooper, 1. Mr.. Morris and Mr..
Kresge both advanced one place, the
latter breaking one tie only to make
another. Eddie Morris went to twen-
ty-eighth position, but is tied with
three others for twenty fifth.
There was only one change among
the leaders for August, Mr. Thompson
going from fourth to third place, which
he now holds by eight points. The
corrected standing is as follows:
