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 pillow.
1t was thought that If 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 a hard pan and
many orchards show the effects. Roots
need air, and lots of it, 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 pillow, particularly II

or stable manure which is turned I'M

Peach growers in one of the best
sections of Colorado, up to about three
years ago, would scarcely allow

will not be long until a system OF
green manuring will also come into

The time of year to use the pillow is
now agitating the minds of many. The

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 a cover crop is sown. Convenient
rains usually start this crop into

Asparagus is the aristocrat of the

guished lineage, for its records reach
back almost to the beginning of au.

the comic poet Cratinus, who died
about 425 B. C. The Romans hold
asparagus in the highest esteem, the
elder Cato treating at length, in his

sion, killing the bill to repay North Car
olina the money secured on the Shaffer
bonds placing the divorce bill on the cal
endar, and passing the anti-discrimlnation
bill The North Carolina bill had the right"
of-way on an adverse committee report and
the report was opposed by Dillon in a
speech of nearly an hour. Byrne, Goodner
and Lincoln opposed the return of the
money and the adverse committee report
was adopted by a vote of Is to 16, which
kills the bill. q
The favorable committee report on the
divorce bill, which required a years resi-
dence In the state and three months in
the county before bringing suit, with all

aimed at the Standard Oil and lumber bus
mess of the state and prohibits selling at
a higher rate in one place than another,
with freight rate differences. Goodner. Dill
lon and Tobin opposed the bill, which was
supported by Robertson, Dowdell, Byrne
and Vessey, and while 1t failed as an emer-
gency bill, it went through with the emer-
gency off by a vote of q to Is.
The public printing committee introduced
a bill for a state printing committee to es-

vocated by Price and Vanosdel and opposed
by Glass, Satire Issenhuth and Hare. The
house passed a number of house bills in
