Depth to Plant a Tree.

AS to the depth to plant a tree, l,
seems to be the general idea that the
future prosperity of the tree is pro
p%ortionate to the depth and firmness
with which it is placed in the ground
and the percentage that plant too
shallow is almost too Insignificant to
be worth considering, for the SHINING
is all in. the opposite direction.
Look for the mark made by tn.
earth or the trunk of the tree when
it stood in the nursery, and going by
that, you will make no mistake. The
roots want warmth, light and moist
ure. such as they receive when placed
properly, but when Theoretically
sealed two to three feet in the

any vigorous root action while con-
tending against the terribly handicap
ing conditions. Give your tree plen.

planting is not naturally suitable, dig
it out deep and put in what is need.

in the latter part of May, the foxtail

June is the ideal month for grass
coasting. Sometimes the grass is not

been spoiled for later months by

How "Jap" Soldiers Fight

In the grand assault commencing
Aug. 10, the immortal Ninth regiment
of the Japanese army was ordered to
cross the field to the foot of the slope
on which lay, dead and dying, many
of the men of the regiment which had
gone before. The colonel, Takagagi,
surveying the task set for his regi-
ment, sent back a report that it was
not feasible. The brigade-general,
Ichinobe, replied holly that one regi-
ment was enough to take one battery.
Takagagi stepped out of the ravine,
in which he had been seeking shelter,
at the head of his command. Before,
he had been marching. as colonies
usually do. in the rear, while his line
officers led the advance. Now, he
leaped forward up the slope, out in
front of his men. A dozen PAGES from
the ravine he fell with four bullets
through his breast. The lieutenant
colonel took up the lead and was shot
a few yards farther on. The majors
were wiped out. Every captain but
one went down. The last captain,

plain, protected for the moment from
the sharpshooters above, with that
handful of heroes, a mile and a half
in advance of the main body of the

the success of his attempt. OF a sud

He started in to do it. There was
only the wall ahead-the wall and q
few machine guns-beyond, the city
itself-a five minutes run would have
brought him to the citadel. He scaled
the wall and fell across this back

to which the Russian generals former

Discourasins FIax outiook.

The general outlook for flaxseed ap-
peals to the ordinary farmer at this
season Of the year and farmers who
consider the a~dvisability Of fax rails
ing will be interested in the condi-
lions which have governed the fax
market during the past year and
which will be a criterion for the con-
ditions of the coming crop. Leading
statisticians figure that at this time
there is an equivalent to- 10 million
bushels of seed in seed and oil in
Minneapolis and Duluth; that country
elevators and farmers hold at least
5 million bushels and that outside Of
the fax belt, there are 5 million
bushels more in storage tanks. This,
makes an available supply of flax in
the seed and oil of at least 20 million.
bushels. The normal consumption OF
seed for all purposes in the United
States is approximately 10 million
bushels. 1t is, therefore, apparent
that an actual surplus of about 1 mill
lion bushels is now in sight, after
allowing for all demands for seed.
during the coming year. 1t is now cer-
tain that Europe will be able to draw
from the countries usually supplying
Europe, at least 45 millions bushels,
and that 40, possibility for exporting
any Of Il seed presents itself. Dam
age reports, from India and Argentine
have been shown TO- be highly exag-
gerated. The United States, eQr-
%sequently, will be obliged to- take care
Of all the seed n0w in sight with that
OF another crop. This will have a de-
pressing effect on the prices in this,
country and means that the values of
seed will be largely regulated by this
enormous surplus, to be further aug.
| mented by the coming crop. I'm view
| of the foregoing it is hardly likely
that American farmers are going to
/ take any chances in sowing unusual
/ quantities of fax this year. Farmers
| in the sections which produced the
major portion of last years crop are
hesftating and the enormou available
supply, together with almost certain
lower prices, certainly are good rea-
sons for serious consideration. A good
crop Of fax added to existing stocks
will naturally near unprecedented low
values, and farmers are not going to
take any risk as long as inducements
are held out to them in the way of
high priced wheat and other cereals
