GEORGE A. wEYeoLD UP FOR INSANITY
OLD Man who Was starving 20 Elude

The police found $1,000 in hundred dol
lar bills and a bank certificate for $4,000
carefully distributed and fastened inside
the garments of George A. Weygoid, the
old German hermit, rescued Friday morn
ing from his dingy room at 2322 Hickory
street, where he was slowly starving to
death. Weygold was sent TO the county
Jail for the present. The insanity board
will examine the man and a guardian Will
be appointed for him.
Friday morning weygold told the po-
lice he had a lot of money hidden some
where, but would not tell where he placed
his savings. After the police surgeons
had revived the man the police searched
him and found the bills inside his cloth
ing and securely fastened.
With a small fortune on his person
weygold was literally starving to death
in his room, with his dog as companion.
Fearing the spirits of his relatives would
get his wealth the old man hid under his
bench. He said he could see the shades
Of his grandfather and uncles peering in
at his window, while the ghost of his
brother sat in a rocking chair in the
room. All, he thought, were conspiring

three days without food or water, hiding
under the bench, where he was found by
the police. The old mans dog gave the

MUNICIPAL BAND FOR OMAHA
Proposition suEEested by Captain
Berger, veteran Leader of Royal
Hawaiian band.

Captain Berger of the Royal Hawaiian
band paid neat compliment Saturday
morning to Omaha's beautiful garden spot
Hanson park--after visiting that
place. To make the park perfect, in the
captains eyes a band should be In at
tendance every afternoon during the out
door season.
1.-THE cost of having a band at Hanscom
park every afternoon would be so trihing
per capita and the results so far-reachins
that the matter should be pushed
through" remarked Captain Berger. The
Hawaiian government has spent in the
last thirty-four years many millions FOR
maintenance Of the royal band, which fur
nishes music to the people every day.
l should think Omaha could well aford
to maintain a municipal band, at least
during the outdoor season"
The captain and his associates feel
pleased with their reception in Omaha
The band will go to Kansas City from
here, returning home in october.
Captain Berger felt he had just critic
ism to OFFER on the lack of ventilation at
the Auditorium stage. He said the tenn
perature on the stage Friday evening was
90. which was very oppressive for the
players. The leader said his bandmen
were used to hea. but when It came to
playing indoors at a temperature of 90
they were working against a great diff
ficulty. He thought the Auditorium man
agement should improve the stage ventila-
ton.

BROKERS ACCUSE RAILROADS
SchIpeFs Declare Companies Have
Aided Business to Maintain
Combination on Rates.

The ticket brokers filed their showing
preparatory to an answer to nine suits
brought by the railroads in the federal
court asking that an injunction be issued
to prevent the brokers from further deal
ing in railroad transportation at reduced
rates. The showing is filed by John j. and
Philip II. Philbin and Ed Murphy of
Omaha. James b. Martin and T. c. Bennett
of Lincoln. 1t makes three points why the
injunction should not be granted:
/. The roads have been guilty of such
laches by permitting brokers for thirty
years to deal in transportation at reduced
rates as to be deprived of any injunction
relief from damages, II they have sus-
tained any damages. Courts of equity do
not hold In favor of sluggish and stale de-
,nands.
2. Roads have been parties to buying and
selling OF tickets by brokers and have
aided brokers In handling them.
3. The tickets sought to be protected
are the fruits of an unlawful combination
to fix and maintain passenger rates in the
middle and far western states by the
Western Passenger association.

Hasten recovery by keeping the
bowels regular with Ayers Pills.

Just now we are picking stones and
getting ready to subdue more thor
oughly with the pillow that rough hill
lot that I thought two years ago
might be handled by sort of cross
between a grub hoe and the mulch
system. We are having to move a
good many thousand tons of stones
to be able to beat the situation, but
am sure in the end I can make it
more profitable than to attempt to
mulch it. ]. H. Hale.
The above address was printed on
the first page of the Rural New York
er. In the center of the page was a
picture of a very fine looking apple
On the editorial page we found the
following note concerning it:
The Northern Spy apple pictured on
our first page looks we'll, and we can
assure the public that it tasted better
than it looks. It was grown by Grant
Iitchings, the mulch culture man. The
little story about it is told in the fol-
lowing letter:
Noticing what Mr. Hale said in The
R. N.Y., that those who followed the
mulch method would never get to
heaven that way, I sent him a basket
Of Spy apples and told him I had good
reasons for believing that we were on
the borderland. I send you a similar
basket by express today, so you can
Judge what Our crop looks like: multi
plying our best previous year by four
would about hit this year Orchards
never looked better. I am more than
ever convinced that our plan is all
right. Grant C. Hitchings
We trust that Mr.. Hitchings is on
"the border1and'' in more ways than
one We will at least match these
apples against the produce of any cul-
tivated orchards we ever saw. The
mulch method" has won respect from
some who were fierce in their opposi-
lions. The trouble was that what these
men condemned was not the mulch
method at all. From the first we
recognized the justice of one criticism.
Whenever we talk about mulch" some
people claim to have failed with this
method because they left the trees in
sod-cutting all the grass for hay and
using no fertilizer or manure. Some
people may be induced to give up fair
care Of an orchard by a discussion of
"mulching,' but more will understand
and profit by it.

sawdust, brush and anything that will
finally rot, with the aid of lime around
the trees. 1t may be asked why go
to this rough land for fruit growing,
when our best results thus far have
been obtained on the more level rich
land. In my judgment these rough
hills are to produce the fruit for future
millions. When this mulch method is
more generally understood these rough
hills can be, and will be, utilized as a
business proposition Thus far it has
been impossible to apply to these hills
the methods which have made fruit
growing a large business. We shall
learn in the near future that we must
adapt our culture to the conditions of
the land Many of our present sue
cessful orchards are on rich level land
that would pay better in other crops.
/ also believe that in the course OF
time insects and fungus diseases will
accumulate so on these level lands that
the business will be far more expensive
and hazardous The clean new lands on
the hills are cheap, because their pos
sibilities in fruit production have never
been demonstrated. With this new
system properly worked out, the hill
lands are destined to revolutionize fruit
growing. This will become very
evident within a few years, when the
beautiful fruit comes rolling down the
hill out of the young orchards that are
now being started. Above all else let
us contradict the impression that this
mulch system of raising fruit is OF
necessity lazy mans method. The
lazy man has no opportunity in agri-
culture or fruit growing. This mulch
method is within the reach of man
with moderate means, or a man who,
from one reason or another, cannot do
the hardest physical labor. It is also
within the reach, for example, of a
woman left with no property save a
rough farm With her children, willing
to work, and fair amount of capital
with which to buy trees and spraying
outfit and similar tools, such a woman
can, by carefully following this method
develop an excellent orchard, not of
large overgrown trees, but of stocl<y
low-down fellows within the reach OF
the nozzle, and capable of producing
hrst-class fruit In fact, I think this
mulch method on rough land will be
one of the ways in which the small
family or the man with moderate
means will be able to keep up with the
big fellows, who, unconsciously, are
crowding the little fellows out of the
race
Mulch Talk from J. H. Ha1e.-As is
we'll known, Mr. Hale believes in the
most thorough and persistent cultiva-
ton of orchards. After reading the
above paper he says:
I think it is the most sensible presen-
tation of the case that you or any one
else ever made, and you get right down
to facts when you say it is small hay
stack that is required around each tree
to do the trick satisfactorily. Now the
trouble on lost uphill, rocky farms is
going to be to get the material to
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-12-05

the mulch, which had killed out all
as thoroughly as cultivation
does. There are very few cultivators
who work their soil more thoroughly
during the season than the earthworm
works under pile of grass or weeds.
The ground is honeycombed and the
soil is thoroughly worked over,
brought to the top and back again by
the insects. This lets the air into the
soil, and by digging down into it you
can easily see that the root system is
deeper instead of being at the surface.
I have every reason to believe that one
great advantage of sowing Red clover
with Timothy is that the deep roots OF
the clover, when they decay, open pas
sages down deep into the subsoil, while
the Timothy roots follow. My own
mulched trees appear to make their
best growth later in the season than
those that are cultivated, and yet I
notice that they always harden up the
wood and are seldom, if ever, injured
by frost.
Crowbar Planting.-I am very con-
fdent that the root system of tree can
be deepened by cutting the roots close
ly, to short stubs, and planting in small
holes with the dirt packed hard around
the roots. I will go so far as to say
that this system of planting seems to
be an essential part in successful sod
or mulch culture, more so, I think,
than where the trees are to be culli-
waited. We have also found that the
use Of lime seems to be of special bene-
fit in connection with a thick rotting
mulch. If man were to start out to
grow trees in this way by simply stick
ing them into the sod, without mulch
enough to keep the ground moist, 1
should think it would be the worst
thing he could possibly do. He would
do much better to plow and cultivate
those trees, Or never plant them out.
To make fair comparison with cult
waited trees we must, as | have said,
use what amounts to a small haystack
around each tree. I don't believe that
the mulch system is adapted to all con-
ditions. There are, without doubt,
some sections where thorough culture
is more sensible. You cannot lay down
any cast-iron rules for growing tree,
because soil, climate conditions and
varieties of trees all differ On some
level, naturally moist lands, which are
naturally grass lands, I can understand
why sod, not mulch, would pay better
than cultivation, especially in a very
wet season. The constantly growing
grass would take the surplus water out
of the soil, as I believe the trouble
with such soils is not that there is
need of more water, but that there is
too much. When, however, the
drought comes, such soil, left by itself,
appeared to be the worst possible place
for trees to grow, because it bakes up
as hard as a brick. I have found that
such soils, especially where they are
close to rocks, are greatly helped by
thick mulch. Therefore, in a wet sea-
son I would let the grass grow, while
in dry time would cut it and pile

we have been able to obtain sufficient |
mulch material the growth with us has |
been quite equal to well-cultivated |
trees. At the Ohio Station the growth |
of the mulched trees was ahead Of
those cultivated or planted in cover
crops. These mu1ched trees also came
into bearing earlier. That appears to
be true Of our own trees. also notice
that the mulched trees, not cultivated,
grow into different shape from those
that are thoroughly titled. They head
closer to the ground and make a
spreading shape, more like bush than
tree, which in our country is desira
BILE, on account of the scale and the
high winds which sway the trees. Last
year I felt prepared to say that while
The mulch will give good results with
apple, it is not so useful for peach.
This year, however, the results with
me have been excellent, fully equal to
those OF apple. I have not obtained
equally good results with pear on my
soil My observation is that when the
young trees are we'll mulched the peach
borer seems to lay its eggs higher up
on the tree, where the insects are easily
found On the other hand, the apple
borer seems to be worse under thick
mulch, and mice also nest in or under
it. Where the trees are wrapped at the
beginning with wire cloth there is little
danger from these pests. A number
Of failures in mulching have been re-
ported, and in most cases found on
grass or weeds had been put around
the tree, not enough, under any elf
cumstances, to keep the soil cool and
moist. 1t requires nearly the equiva-
lent Of small hay cock to do the job
properly Whenever we have been
able to keep a thick layer Of mulch
around the young trees the growth has
been fully equal to that of trees thor
oughly cultivated, and in some cases
superior; in fact I think there can be
no question about this, the great
trouble being to find the needed mulch
material
The Root System.-It has long been
said that when a tree is mulched the
feeding roots all form at the surface
and even work up into the mulch itself.
From this it was argued that if for any
reason the mulch is removed, if fire
runs through the orchard, or if the
soil is p1owed, the orchard would be
ruined, as these surface-feeding roots
will be destroyed. I have never be-
1ieved this, although unable to prove
it, but the Ohio Experiment Station
seems to have shown the falsity of the
argument. At that station blocks of
soil foot deep were taken from both
mulched and cultivated trees, and the
roots were washed out and carefully
examined to see where they went to.
1t was found that the network of root
let's, which we find close up under the
mulch is not, by any means the whole
story, but only the upper story Be-
low the mulch the roots were as numer-
GUS and as deep as they were in the
cultivated soil In other words, the
