the entire aldermanic ticket on

reasons, Judge Miiler's friends
are very much elated.
Judge Miller was reared in

has practiced law for number
of years. He was for some time

when the truth is known some
OF the "big officials" will be
found guilty, and we trust they

FLOWING THE ORCHARD.
Discussion OF Subject BY w. Paddock
OF Delaware Experiment Station.

That clean cultivation of orchards
| has been the rule in Colorado has al
| ready been referred to in publications
from the Colorado agricultural col.
| lege. But the system of culture has
not general included the use of the
turning plow.
1t was thought that II the surface
was kept mellow and free from weeds,
all requirements had been met. In fact
there seems to have been something
of prejudice against the use of the
plow, as It was feared that the injury
to the tree roots would counterfeit any
beneficial effect.
The continued use of shallow cult.
vators tends to form hard pan and
many orchards show the effects. Roots
need air, and lots of 1t, in order to
do their work effectively. The root
hairs are less abundant and many are
killed If the tree is compelled to live
continuously in a hard, compact soil.
The effect on the tree is much the
same as though too much water had
been allowed to accumulate about the
roots. Some means should be taken
to loosen such soils, and this can be
done best with a pillow, particularly II
supplemented by some growing crop
or stable manure which is turned un.
der
Peach growers in one of the best
sections of Colorado up to about three
years ago, would scarcely allow a
plow in the orchard but since that
time it's use has come to be nearly
universal And we predict that 1t
will not be long until a system Of
green manuring will also come into
general use.
The time of year to use the plow Is
now agitating the minds of many. The
spring has been adopted in the east,
where for 10 years a great deal of
study has been devoted to the subject
Of orchard culture. The orchard land
Is broken up as early as the weather
will permit, and clean culture Is given
| till the end of the growing season,
when cover crop is sown. Convenient
rains usually start this crop into
growth, when It helps mature tree
growth by using surplus moisture and
protects the sol in various ways until
the following spring, when it is turned
under to supply vegetable matter and
fertility TO the soil
We are now pretty well agreed that
| the turning pillow should be used but
extended inquiries among orchardists
show that in general they have had
better results by turning the land over
in the fall. The main reason advanced
for this preference is that II the land
! is plowed in the spring, and particu.
larry If a green crop has been turned
under, It is nearly impossible to get
water over the ground without the
most of it getting much to wet. The
result is yellow foliage and setback
to the trees, from which 1t takes them
some time to recover This experience
will probably be found to be true OF
most soils.
We conclude then, that the use OF
the turning plow is very desirable, II
not essential, where clean cultivation
Is given, ami in the present state OF
our knowledge the fall of the year
after the leaves are off, is the best
time for its use.
