arbitration treaty TO cover future cases which IN

that a tribunal be selected to determine whether

Orchard Problems

The care of trees from the time
they are dug in the nursery till they
are set in the orchard is an important
matter. A tree may still grow after
much bad usage, but it is apt to be
runt if it is badly handled. 1t is sup
posed the nurseryman knows his part
of the work and does not allow his
trees to be unduly exposed before they
are packed for shipment. 1t is right to
conclude that the nurseryman Will
properly pack his trees and ship them
as soon as he can and by the most di-
rect route to the grower. A tree is in
an unnatural position when it is out
of the ground. 1t is somewhat like
the prOverbial fish out of water"
Very fortunately for us, there is dor
mant season with trees and that is
during the winter season. Trees should
never be allowed to freeze when out
of the ground and this is more par
ticularly true of their roots. If trees
are dug in the fall they may be set in
most cases as soon as they are receiv-
ed. In very cold sections of our coun-
try fall planting is not advisable. In
such cases, if the trees are dug in the
fall they should be we'll healed in dur

we'll protected by being covered with
dirt or a heavy covering of straw.
Care must be used that mice do not
get in among these heeled-in trees,
for they will injure them.
Where the winters are not rigorous,
as in the Pacific coast states, fall plant
ing is to be preferred. Late planting
in the spring is never advisable. Feb
ruary is good time to plant trees If
the soil is in good condition. If trees
are received in a somewhat dry con-
dition it is a good plan to throw them
into water for a few hours. Always
keep the roots of trees covered with
damp burlap, straw or dirt. Keep the
roots of all trees from drying winds.
Water judiciously used is very i'm
portant thing for the life of a tree.
When the trees have been received
and properly cared for, the thing that

dealer had samples of the same goods
from the same case in competition.
The Portland man got a gold medal,
the producer a silver medal. Isn't
that funny?
"Of course the California wine is
good. but it is unfortunate that the
Portland jury should have been SO
well pleased with it as to drink too
much of it and be in such condition
when the time came for making the
awards, as to be unable to distinguish
which wine it was that they got full

somewhat unsatisfactory to those VINO

strip just twenty-five feet in length
Of course he needs two such strips.
The first thing to be done is to set the
first row on straight line with the
trees just twenty-five feet apart One
of the strips can be used for that pur-
pose. We may call the first row the
base line. Now in setting the next
row place the notch in one of these
strips against the first tree in the row
and the other strip against the second
tree and where they meet, plant your
tree. These strips can meet in but one
place and there is where the tree must
be planted in all cases. No sighting or
measuring is needed When the Sec
ond row is set it becomes the base line
for the third and SO on till your whole
piece of ground is set to trees. If
your strips are carefully placed and
each tree is planted where they meet
your rows must be straight. These
two strips when placed as indicated
make the two sides of an equilateral
triangle and the space between the
trees at the base makes the other side.
Every student of geometry knows that
any circle contains just six equilateral
triangles. So you may go into your
orchard when planted as here directed
and from any tree, not on the outside,
you can measure just twenty-five feet
to six other trees. This shows how
evenly your trees occupy the ground.
You can use any other length for your
strips with exactly the same results
