that he most certainly would, and re-
ferred to this case as reported In the
Yearbook as an illustration of the ben
efits to be derived. By all means, Gull

there is any fear of loss of fertility
from the rains of the winter, then
raise some cover crop, like crimson
clover or COW peas, and let it remain
on the ground during the winter, but
plow it under in the spring and keep
up this soil pulverizatiOn well into the
autumn.
Where irrigation is practised cult
walton should be practised, not, OF
course, to conserve moisture, unless
where the supply of water is short in
July and August, but for the double
purpose of letting in a certain amount
of air and for the fining of the soil,
so that it may the more readily give
up it's fertility. 1t is a common say
ing among those who understand 1rri-
cation that we should never cultivate
by irrigation. The new beginner is
apt to do that, for he has but little
conception of the duty of water. With
us in our orchards we irrigate but
twice or three times during the sum-
mer. The water is allowed to run on
each side of the tree rows for about
one week at each irrigation. Then,
in a few days after, the soil is thor
oughly pulveriZed by using the disc
and the acme harrow, or in it's stead
the rotary harrow A month or more
is allowed to pass before another irr1-
cation is deemed necessary.
There is a method in caring for an
orchard, sometimes called the mulch
method" in which no cultivation is
practised 1t consists in allowing the
weeds and grass to grow in the orch
ard without molestation. During the
summer these weeds and the grass are
mown at intervals. of month or more
apart, but the product is not removed
from the orchard, but is allowed to
rot under the trees. 1t is preferable
to pile it little thicker near the
trunks of the trees than farther out.
This mulch conserves the moisture

Better Change horticultural Law.

The article in The Ranch for Deem
Der LIST, written by ]. F. Littooy, on
the horticultural law and how it is
working to the interests of politics
and against the interests of horticul-
ture, has brought out much comment
rom our readers. 1t is the unanimous
opinion of those who have spoken
that the law as it now stands is
worse affair than the old law, and
the prediction is made that there will
be an effort inaugurated to have the
law changed soon.
Capt. G. N. Hogan, horticultural in
spector for Cowlitz county, has eX-
pressed his opinion of the law in a
letter to The Ranch in which he
speaks of the article by Mr.. Littooy.
He says: 81 think it was a mistake
to tinker with the old law until we
knew what we wanted, and then de-
mand it from our legislators. The
old law was not what it should have
been, but in many respects it was bet
ter than the one now on the stat
utes Politics has no place in the
workings of our horticultural inter
ests Politics may prosper, but hor-
ticuluture in consequence will suffer"

or can not, raise fruit of such a high
grade, for if this kind of fruit is sent
away the home markets are left for
the inferior grades. There is a linn
tied amount of these favored locali-
ties in Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and British Columbia where this fancy
fruit can be grown, and what we need
to do is to find those markets where
it will sell very high. Mr.. Hill is help
ing us by his generosity to find such
markets.

caying returns the fertility to the soil
again. Some men are quite enthusi-
astic over this method, but at best it
is ''the lazy mans method" In old
orchards, where cultivation is diff
ficult, this method may be used to ad-
vantage. One serious objection to it
is that this rubbish becomes a harbor
for insects.

ON SCHEDULE TIME
STATEHOOD BILL IS PASSED BY THE
 HOUSE.
Opposition to the Measure Was Ex- hausted 4he Day Before. and Only Thfrty-three of the "Insur-
 gents" Voted Nay.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The House passed the statehood bill according to schedule today. The Republican oppo- sition to the measure spent it's entire force yesterday and no effort was made to defeat the bill on it's final passage but thirty-three of the insurgents" voting against the measure. The bill passed by the vote of 194 to 15O.
 The debate which preceded this vote began at ii o'clock and was practical ly featureless so far as any hope was entertained of changing the measure in the slightest degree. The advocates of the measure placed in the Record through the medium of several speech es, the arguments upon which the joint Statehood policy is founded. Like wise the opponents of joint Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico which embraced the entire opposition to the bill produced their reasons for the Record. Several of the "insurgents'' made plain the ground of their oppo- sitien

 Mir. Smith. delegate from Arizona, took the floor to make his last appeal against the proposed union of his ter ritory with New Mexico. He spoke with visible effort in controlling his emotion and said his physical condition was such that he was glad that his speech was to be brief. He placed the responsibility for joint Statehood on President Roosevelt, "who, without req son, had issued his ipse dixit, which combined with the great popularity of Speaker Cannon hadenabled his plan to be carried out"
 He reviewed the hardest of early In- dian war days in Arizona: of the prom ise made when she was created a ter ritory that separate Statehood should follow; of his twenty years effort to that end to he concluded now in de- feat He told of the first death in Cuba of the gallant Puck O'Ncn, who If he were here would appeal to his Colonel (RoosevelD 10 pass this bit

Governor Relieves ElmOre County
 Man of Fine and Sentence.
 Governor Jelks yesterday pardoned Jake woodall of Elmore County from a hard labor sentence for vagrancy and remitted to him $250 of $500 Tine imposed by the Elmore county court on August 22.
 In explaining this clemency to Wood- all Governor Jelks reviewed the case as follows,
 This case was rather complicated one. He was tried for vagrancy though back of it was a more serious charge of desertion of wife and child. A jury assessed n fine of $500, which, under the law, goes to the county Treasury. The trial judge added six months term of hard labor The trial judge, the county solicitor, and the as- sistant solicitor now appear and ask that the sentence of hard labor and s250 of the fine be .remitted. They show that following previous under standing with this office $250 in cash has been deposited to the credit of the dependent widow and her child. and even some additional provision has been made for them. On this showing Jake woodall is pardoned from the sentence Of hard labor and $250 of the $500 fine assessed against him is hereby remltted."
 Woodall married a young woman at Tallassee and deserted her a few days after his marriage.

 Mir. Hanson and Mr. Cantey em- parked on a 6O-foot raft of timber to float 300 miles to Mobile, and there to dispose of the timber. It is pre- sumcd they have reached Mobile by this time and are probably enroute to Montgomery.
