A GRASS MULCH.
What II Does, Together With Low
Heading In an Apple Orchard.

What 1t Does, Together With Low
Heading In an Apple Orchard.
#. 2. Vergon is an Ohio apple or
chardist who believes In the virtues of
q grass mulch in the orchard. Mr..
Vergon's idea is to follow natures
plan for the maintenance of fertility
and the conservation of soil moisture.
The soil of his orchard (old pasture
land is of a rich, loamy nature. In
planting the trees the dense blue grass
sod is broken only by the excavation
of ample holes for the roots of the
young tree, which is set firm as a post
at an angle of several degrees toward
the southwest.
A mulching of coarse stable manure
is applied in the spring, directly after
planting, at the rate Of a wagon load
to eight or ten trees. In autumn this
mulch is raked away from the stem of
the tree and left in a circle about the
base. The following spring the remain
Ing litter is again raked up to the trunk
of the tree and slightly wider circle
spaded up about it's roots. This new
ring" of tough sod is turned bottom
side up and left in circle under the
drip" of the branches This is re.

peated for the first four or five years.
MIR. Vergon now uses Il small mound
of fine cinders about the stem Of the
young tree rs soon as it has become
well established, which is usually by
the second year. He finds the cinders
an effectua protection from mice The
branches of the low headed trees soon
lie upon the mulch.
AS subsequent culture Of the trees
the wonderful matted growth of fine
blue grass is each season moved and
raked up in a circle about each tree be-
meath the drip of its branches. A sec
ond growth at once takes place, and
the surface is again promptly covered
with dense luxurious mating which
lies closely upon the ground during the
remainder of the year and through
which new and rampant growth
pushes the next spring.
Mr. Vergon's plan has proved u
good thing. The trees are healthy, uni
form and wonderfully productive. Ad-
ditional advantages of low headed
trees, Mr.. Vorgon claims, are the
stockier, better knit bodies which
are never injured by the sun or modest
ed by borers; the "anchoring" of the
trees against the storm and wind by
the fruit laden branches resting upon
the mulched earth; the ease of gather
ing the apples, fully one-half of the
crop of the fourteen-year- orchard
being picked from the ground; the IA
citity with which the trees are reached
by the sprayer, and the saving of near
~ all the windfals (not worm falls"
in Mr.. Vergon's orchardl from bruis.
ing. In comparison with high headed
trees he finds that in the heated sea-
son the temperature beneath the low
down trees averages about three de-
grees cooler than at like point under
the higher heads, where sun and air
have freer access. AS matter of fact
this in q measure retards the period of
maturity, a point worthy Of considera-
ton in growing winter apples. The
Rome Beauty tree in this cut Is O typi
cal representative of his plan of low
heading. The little tree at planting Is
carefully shaped with the knife and
only those branches left which will
form q well balanced top, which must
begin within two and a half or three
feet from the ground.
Rural New Yorker from which the
foregoing account is gathered, makes
the point that clearly the mulch
method is designed for rich soil. On
poor soils fertility must be added In
some other way.

A COLONY OF FINS.

The reports of a prospective
settlement of Fins in Lowndes
county, near Valdosta, are highly
interesting. Mr.. Autti Jantunen,
a native of Fin land, is said to
be preparing to bring large
colony of his countrymen to
southern Georgia, and is quoted
as saying in an interview while
at the Piedmont hotel in Allan a
Il have been in this country
some months seeking the right
locality for my people, and what
I wanted I found near Va1dosta.
l have trayers@d a number of
states and have inspected a
great variety of the farming
lands. I found just what I want
ed al Va1dosta and have taken an
option on $4,000 acres Of land
there. / will be able to secure
more if it is needed. / hope to
b. ing over nearly a hund rcd
thousand of my people before I
quit the work. They can thrive
here and can make more on the
same amount of land near Val
dosta than the Georgian who has
passed his life in that locality. I
do not contem plate bringing over
any but young, able-bodied,
energetic men. | now have a
colony of over one hundred ready
to move as soon as I advise them
to come, and that advice will be
sent as soon as | reach New
York. None of them are over ~
or % years of age, and none I'M
der 18. Each one is a trained
farmer. Each one has a diploma
from the National Agricultural
College, and when they once get
to work they will show til l., Geor-
gians how to farm. I hope to
have two or three thousand Fins
in Lowndes county before the
end of the year"
If these reports are based on a
solid foundation and there is a
prospect of securing a large
settlement of fins, the people of
Lowndes and neighboring count
les, and the citizens of the thriv-
ing city of Valdos!a in particular,
would be wise 10 do everything
in their power to welcome and
assist the project.
The Fins are an intelligent,
hardy, Industrious, lava abiding
aud freedom-loving people.
That they should desire to emil
CRATE in large numbers can be
readily understood, for at the
beginning Of this century Russia
took away from them rights of
local self-government which they
had enjoyed for a hundred years.
There are no better colonists
than those who resolve TO brave
new conditions in a far country
in order to escape tyranny. Fins
could be more readily assimilat-
ed than certain other classes of
i'm migrants such as Italians, ard
the resulting benefits in the de-
V2]opment Of southern Georgia
in the course of a generation
would be incalculable should a

culturists from the north Of Eu-

Chicago, June 23.-Because Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon was the central fig
ure the proceedings of the republican
national convention Wednesday took
on picturesqueness and demonstra-
tiveness which Tuesday was looked for
in vain. From the moment he was es-
corted to the platform to WELD the
gavel as the permanent chairman the
entire atmosphere of the convention
changed. Enthusiasm which had lain
dormant burst forth and the applause
rang true and hearty. He made a
speech and the audience cheered
whether he spoke jocularly or in seri-
GUS vein.
Called to Order.
At 1927 o'clock Temporary Chair
man Root raped for order, directing
the delegates to take their seats, and
ordering the aisles cleared. This lat

BITS ABOUT THE JAPS.

Three per cent. of the Japanese army
officers are Christians. Two Japanese
battleships are commanded by Chris
tians.
1t is considered that Japanese men
are among the best needleworkers in
the world, their only equals being the
women of Russia.
One result of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance is that the gardens of many
Buddhist temples in Japan have dis
plays of English flowers.
Baron Suyematsu, in an address be-
fore the Japan society in London the
other night, said that one of the easi-
est ways of becoming a Japanese SUBJ
ject was to marry Japanese woman.
Then the husband became a Japanese
subject.
In Japan in the textile industries
women are largely employed at q
wage corresponding to seven pence q
day. More expensive men get the
princely sum of ten pence per day.
Tailors, masons and woodworkers
gain weekly incomes ranging from
i've to seven shillings. Printers are
