This charge is based upon a letter
written by Charles E. McLonegan,
principal of West Division High
School, Milwaukee, under date OF
December 6, 1907, in which he said:
Joseph Phillips entered this
school September 9, 1891. He left
June "a, 1904. When he entered
September 9, 1901, he gave his age
as fifteen years and ten months.
The bylaws of the Montana State
Interscholastic Athletic Association
specifically provide that "the penalty
for playing an ineligible student shall
be the forfeiture of the game on the
part of the school playing such ineli-
gible student And, in view of the
fact that two ineligibles have been
allowed to play upon the Butte
squad, both of them participating il
the game of November 16, not only
should the Butte-Spokane game be
forfeited to Spokane, but all Other
scores of that team made in games
wherein the two ineligibles were, OF
either of them was, allowed to play
should be cancelled.
It seems, indeed, strange that tbs
disoualifications of the two players
mentioned were not brought to the
attention of Principal Geo. F. Dow

cially when it is remembered tina

Sheriff of Douglas County Says It's
Holy Ground and You Cant {.
Fight Here-They Didn't

They didn't fight-the strong arm
of the law said no. AS the result
there is no bunged eyes, broken
noses, or sprained limbs. 1t was the
fight that was to be between Jack
Curley, the middleweight champion
and Jess Vanguard, the man who
claims the championship of British
Columbia.
1t had been advertised to be pull
ed off Sunday in Douglas county
across the Columbia river where no
officers of the peace could modest.
Early in the afternoon on Saturday
the World was informed that the
fight would not come off, that the
officers of the law were busy.
Late Saturday night Sheriff Lo-
gan of Douglas county phoned down
from Waterville to the effect that
Douglas county was ''holy ground,
and that consequently there would
be no fighting there, and Sheriff
Webb was deputized to see that
there would be 'nuthin doin.
About one hundred tickets Were
sold, and many more had planned to

Where to Plant Citrus Trees.

Where to Plant Citrus Trees.
The proper location for a grove
of citrus fruit trees is one of the
most important considerations, and
must be kept in mind or the future
profit of the grove is very doubtful
Many years ago we visited at the
home of Mr.. Dudley W. Adams
While there he told the story of his
first coming to Florida, long before
the day of railroads in the southern
part of the State He went by boat
to Sanford, and there engaged ma
tive Floridian to take him through
the country in search of suitable
location. At that time some one who
had plenty of money was making a
large orange grove on a location that
Mr.. Adams did not think suitable
So he asked the native about it. The
man replied, money will make an
orange grove anywhere, but an orange
grove will make money if in the right
place." There was so much wisdom
in the saying that we have always
remembered it.
We were reminded of it by short
item in the Rural Californian:
Plant citrus trees only where eli
matte and soil conditions warrant;
then force the roots after moisture;
cultivate five inches deep and keep
at it. Use the proper fertilizers, in
creasing the quantity as the trees re-
quire Such in brief were the points
of an address by c. C. Chapman, of
Fullerton, recently delivered before
the Claremont Farmers Club. He is
one of the most successful orange
growers in California, and beginners
in orange culture should heed the
lessons of such experienced grow
ers, remembering that there is much
to learn before success can crown
their efforts. Many times during the
past two years The Rural Californian
has argued along the same lines, even
going as far as to say that the citrus
industry would be greatly improved
by ripping up orange groves which
are surrounded by unfavorable con-
ditions. Unfortunately in the past
too many acres were planted in or
anges for purely speculative purposes
to sell to the inexperienced tender
foot-a practice that has worked i'm
measurable injury to the orange in
dustry. But time will remedy all
things AS competition becomes
keener the difficulties of disposing of
inferior fruit will become greater and
it will inevitably cease to be profitable
to grow oranges on soils incapable
of producing frst-class fruit. The
inexperienced should not invest in
orange groves before first ascertain
ing the character of the soils and
their depths and climatic conditions

FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS.
Is It True That Farmers Cannot
Make Successful Combinations?

letter to the Rural Californian by
a correspondent of that paper. We
ask the second question, because we
are not convinced that they cannot.
By farmers we mean all who make
a living from the soil, whether it is
by fruit growing, truck farming, stock
raising, dairying or whatever it may
be.
The Grange has become quite
power for good among farmers, but
has not attempted to control mark
citing. The new society, called the
Society of Equity was established for
the avowed purpose of controlling the
price of farm products. Whether it
will be able to accomplish it's aim
depends upon so many contingencies
that the result is, to say the least,
prob1ematical The letter alluded to
is as follows:
Farmers, for many years, have been
trying to form successful combina-
tons, but some how, while the far
mer is the acknowledged backbone of
the country, he seems unable to stick
by his brother farmer for a longer
time than appears to his advantage
The Farmers Alliance, the Grange
and numerous other forms of union
have been tried with but passing Sue
cess. The farmer might truly rule
the world if solid and lasting union
could be sustained such as exists be-
tween other organizations of today.
Our numerous labor unions stand to-
gether as one man when important
subjects come up for their considera-
ton These unions have done much
to advance the interests and welfare
of the working man. They have sue
cessfully demanded better pay and
shorter hours from time to time, until
today they are better paid class of
workers than the farmer, with much
shorter time for days work. Re-
Gently there has been new alliance|
formed in Chicago between the far
mers of the surrounding country and
the Federation of Labor, and a union
market is to be opened soon in that
city which is to handle all the pro-
ducts of the farmers who are mem
bers, with view to obtaining better
prices for what they raise.
This is somewhat of new depart
ure in unions, and it is to be hoped
that in this the keynote of successful
union of the farmers has been struck
problematical. The letter alluded to
of many such unions Successful
combinations, however, are not ali
the needs of the farmer. He needs
education along the lines of good
farming. Many farmers are slow to
accept new and improved methods of
farming, and for this reason, as we'll
as for lack of cohesive ability, he
is but poorly paid for his labor in
many instances. If this obstacle could
be overcome, and successful and last
ing combination could be sustained,
then there would not be a shadow of
a doubt but that the farmer could
double his present income with but
little effort

Their Physical Nature and Chemical Composition
and Possibilities.
By A. T. Cuzner, NJ. D.

We are told in Greek mythology
that Antaeus was the son of Posei-
don (god of the sea, and water gen
era1ly) and &c (earth). Antaeus, be-
ing a great wrestler, compelled all
persons passing through his country
to wrest1e with him, and as, when
thrown, he derived fresh strength
from each successive contact with his
mother, earth, he soon proved irwin

Observation-Disclosures the source
of his strength, and by detatching
him from the earth was enabled to
compass his destruction
The writer of these papers has been
a practical student of Agriculture for
over forty years. During a residence
of twenty of these years in Florida
we could not but observe the great
lack of practical knowledge exhibited
by our cultivators of the soil in re-
gard to it's physical nature and cheni-
cal composition.
In such country as Florida, pos
sessing such climatic and natural ad-
vantages, knowledge of what good
soil should consist, and what is likely
to add to it's natural fertility, will re-
suit in object lessons to intending set
tiers in the State, and knowledge of
what is likely in the soil to be de-
leterious to cultivated plants will also
add to the resources of Our farmers.
Upon the invitation of our editor
in-chief we have decided to write a
series of papers on the subject of
soils. In this work I shall be mater
tally aided by the past and present
efforts of our agricultural depart
ments. And just here I will
note that it would be profitable
for Our agricu1turalists to pay more
heed to the excellent Bulletins of the
Department of Agriculture.
Soils
Soils differ much as regards their
immediate origin, physical properties,
chemical constituents and agricultur-
II capabilities.
Their constituents are both organic
and inorganic. The latter are min
eral, gaseous and liquid.
The organic consists of both animal
and vegetable origin.
The inorganic portion of all good
soil should equal 90 per cent of their
whole weight This earthly or min
eral part consists principally of three
ingredients:
First, Of Silica, si1icious sand, or
gravel of various degrees of fneness:
from that of an impa1pable powder,
as it occurs in clay soils, to the large
and more or less rounded sand of the
gravel beds.
Second, A1umina, generally in the
form of clay, but occasionally occur
ring in slate masses more or less hard
intermingled with the sand
Third, Lime, mainly in the form OF
the carbonate, or chalk, or fragments
of shells of various sizes, and that OF
limestone finely pulverized, as met
with in different countries.
1t is rarely that a soil is found to
consist solely of any one of these
three substances. A soil. however
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-02-06

The foregoing three mineral consti-
tuents have no chemical union, but
are only mechanical admixture.
Just here will pause to remark that
their fertilizing properties consist
mainly in their ability to act as a
storehouse of organic nutrition for
the vital action of plants. I will,
however, make an exception of both
lime and silica. Both of these sub
stances furnish material for the It's
sues of plants in addition to mechan-
ical action.
Soils are generally classified in &C
cordance with their physical or chem
ical composition.
First, we have pure clay soil, con-
sisting of about 60 per cent of sand
and 40 per cent of clay and oxide of
iron, for the most part chemically
combined It allows no sand to sub
side when washed with water, and
rarely forms any considerable per-
centage of the soil.
Second, strongest clay soil is form
ed of pure clay mixed with S to IS
per cent of sand, which can be sep
arated from it by washing.
Third, clay loan differs from a clay
soil in allowing IS to 20 per cent of
fine sand to be separated from it by
washing
Fourth, loamy soil deposits from
80 to 90 per cent by washing.
Fifth, sandy loan leaves from 90
to 90 per cent of sand.
Sixth, sandy soil contains no more
than 10 per cent of clay.
The above classification has refer
ence only to the clay and sand in the
soil AS we know that most soils
contain a per cent of lime, therefore
we will have to 1engthen our list in
order to include
Seventh, marty soils, in which the
proportion of lime is more than S
per cent but does not exceed go per
cent of the whole dry weight of the
soil The mari is sandy, loamy or
clay mari, according as the proper
ton of clay would place it under one
or the other classifcations, supposing
it to be free from lime, or to contain
S per cent only
Eighth, ca1careous soils, in which
the lime, exceeding 20 per cent, be-
comes the distinguishing constituent.
There are also calcareous c1ays, loans
of sand, according to the proportion
of clay and sand which are present in
them.
Lastly, we have organic substances,
mainly vegetable matter, the most i'm
portant ingredient of soils, and this
gives rise to a further
Ninth, vegetable mo1ds, of which
there are various kinds, depending
upon the kinds and quantities of Or
ganic material entering into their
composition. We have, first, garden
mold, which contains from S to 10
per cent of organic matter; then we
have hammock soil, containing 90 to
70 per cent of organic material These
soils may also be classed as clayey,
1oamy or sandy, according to the pre-
dominating character of the mineral
admixture.
Ali these different kinds of soil may
