TOO MUCH WATER
Frequent Cause of Yellow Foil
age in Fruit Trees.

Many inquiries are received during
the course OF season at the Colo.
RADIO Agricultural college in regard
to the cause OF yellow foliage on
trees. In the great majority of cases
1T Is safe to assume that something
is the matter with the roots OF the
trees. and usually 1t is too much
water.
We refer particularly to those in
stances where, In the beginning OF
size and the leaves show only
slight yellowish tinge. To be sure,
there are other causes. such as the
root rots and crown gall, which may
produce somewhat similar effects
But trees which are attacked bv
either of these diseases soon show a
stunted growth and the foliage is apt
to be small and scant. Root rots
are. of course, likely to attack trees
that have been injured by water
No agricultural plant can long SUR
vive If its roots are surrounded by
water for any considerable length Of
time The reason for this, briefly
stated, is that the roots are deprived
of air. This they cannot get when
the soil spaces are filled with water
The root hairs are constantly dying
and new ones are growing throughout
the season. Their duration Is short.

practically all the nourishment
which plants get from the soil and
they are found near the ends OF the
growing roots. incidentally. 1t may
be mentioned, that for this reason,
fertilizers should not be placed near
the trunks of large trees, but should
be scattered at some distance where
the feeding roots are to be found.
A wet soil does not necessarily
mean one that shows moisture on the
surface. Neither must the subsoil
contain a superabundance before Ill
effects result. Then, the level to
which free water rises in the soil
must be taken into account: Many
.orchardists think that If water does
not rise to within five feet of the
surface their trees are safe. In some
instances this does appear to be true;
but as rule such land should be
looked upon with suspicion and II
this condition arises after an orchard
has been planted, some means Of
drainage should be provided.
Sometimes tree here and there
throughout an orchard may be
affected, or the trees in one row may
show the characteristic symptoms.
1t Is difficult to believe that seepage
should produce such effects.
All are familiar with the spotted
condition of some Colorado soils,
and the subsoil presents similar
characteristics. So one can easily
imagine that water may become
pocketed In small areas as we'll as in
large ones. This effect may often be
seen In alfalfa fields where seepy
places occur. Some Of these spots
may not be over ten feet In diam
eter, but sharply defined by vigorous
alfalfa around the edges.

Of seepage, but more often some form

In Allegheny extensive preparations
are under way for making restitution

household goods by the rapid rise OF
the waters. A fund has been started,
headed by Mayor Charles F. Kirchner
with a subscription of $500, which Is
to be used to purchase mattresses,

afidavit drawn by Abraham H. Hum
mel at tho request of Stanford White

lyn Nesbit charging Harry X. Thaw
with having cruelty beaten Miss Mes
bit on several occasions during their
trip through Europe In 1903 Mr.. Del
mas, attorney for the defense, sudden
ly switched tactics at the trial Of Har-
ry Thaw and demanded that the whole
Of the alleged affidavit go into the rec
ord and be read to the Jury. District
Attorney Jerome had contemplated
reading only certain portions Of 1t,
which he declared directly contradict
cd the testimony Of the young Mrs.
Thaw.
The affidavit specifies numerous oc-
casions In Austria, Switzerland and
Paris when Thaw Is alleged to have
beaten the young woman, who was
travelling with him as his wife, until
she swooned. Her bare skin. she de-
clared, had been bruised and cut by
the lashings of Thaw's cowhide whip.
The Hummel affidavit had already
been discounted by the statement OF
its contents by Mr.. Jerome at various
times during his arguments as to its
admissibility. Mr.. Jerome had also
quoted freely from the affidavit during
his cross-examination of young Mrs.
Thaw During the cross-examination
she denied emphatically having made
any OF the statements contained In the
paper.
Prosecution Rests its Case.
With the reading of the affidavit
Mr. Jerome announced that the people
rested their case in rebuttal. Mr.. Del
mas Immediately offered In evidence
the record of the trial Of Abraham
Hummel on the charge of conspiracy.
The district attorney did not object
and the defendants lawyer proceeded
to read the entire record to the jury.
When Hummel was on the witness
stand he denied absolutely that In
drawing the affidavit he was acting as
counsel for Miss Nesbit. In the affi-
davit as read, and which Hummel said
he dictated. he has Miss Nesbit refer
to himself several times. At one place
she Is purported to say:
Il have received several letters and
cablegrams from Thaw which have
turned over to my counsel. Mr. Abra-
