OF the leading commercial varie,
ties. Three to Eve varieties will
be enough for a commercial or
chard and it is much better TO
plant three to insure thorough
pollination, as some Of our lead
ing varieties seem to be sterile.
Often We are asked what age
and size trees are best. The one
year-old tree is to be preferred
II will establish itself more easily
and can be headed low, thus saw
ing much money in future years
in spraying, thinning, pruning
and harvesting the crop. The
medium sized trees are better
than the.very small or very large.
We are fortunate in Oregon in
having nurseries that can furnish
the finest OF trees.
When the trees come from the
nursery they should be imme-
diately unpacked, and if in good
condition, trench should be
dug deep enough TO cover the
roots, and the trees are generally
dropped in at an angle of about
45 degrees. This will keep the
trees in good condition until
planted. Never bury them in
bundles for a long period, as they
will often heat and decay. If
they arrive somewhat dry and
shrivelled, bury them in moist
earth or submerge them i'm water.
The bark will often puff out and
nearly all the trees will live.
The distance to plant trees
apart is matter Of interest all
over the state, as there is a ten
dency to plant them too close.
On our rich virgin soils, with
plenty OF moisture, our orchards
can be planted closely, and p: :oba-
bly, make the best use Of the land
for the first ten or twelve years,
when they begin to crowd.
1t takes a good deal OF nerve
to cut out half an orchard that
has been yielding a large profit,
but if this is not done the whole
orchard will be ruined; so, for a
great many people, it would be
better to plant their trees their
permanent distance and grow
some garden crop in between if
necessary, for the first few years.
There is, however, one system
that will allow you to cut out
some trees.
Apples should be planted from
thirty to forty feet apart; the
smaller varieties of pears IN the
neighborhood Of twenty; while
some of the larger varieties OF
pears will stand thirty. Where
the cherry attains good size, 1t
will need from thirty to thirty
FIVE. SMALL varieties of peaches,
twelve to fifteen, and the larger
fifteen to twenty, and probcbly
some varieties will do better with
even twenty-five. Our older
prune orchards are showing
that thirty feet is none too far,
while grapes are often planted in
rows six feet apart and eight to
ten feet apart in the row.

IHE PROBLEM.

CruSCS anu COInUlIldClOuS VI w ho1
ever name, conducted in ways
inimical to the public welfare.
This control must be brought
about without changing our form
of government or even amending
our organic laws. Schemes,
some very plausible ones, are
offered which would, possibly,
solve the problem, but they
would change the form of our
government and produce other
conditions and ills no less hurt
full than those which now aflict
us. Our people will never con-
sent to such a change. They
should not and need not.
If, under a representative DEM
ocracy these things cannot be
worked out, then representative
government, or government of
the people by the people and for
the people must be written down
a failure. But our form of gov
ernment has not failed hitherto
under the most trying ordeal and
twill not now. - -
No solution for this problem
can be found in the destruction
of individualism. Our form of
government finds one of its
strongest buttresses in the fact
that it presents each individual
citizen with the greatest posi-
bilities for human development
and happiness and encourages
him to lay hold of them.
This individualism creates and
conserves a healthful competi-
tion which constantly makes for
the public good.
But we have reached a stage
in our material development
where an individual working
alone cannot avail himself of
many possibilities for his better
ment. These are more certainly
grasped by combination of in
dividuals working to the same
end. So far, then, as combina-
tions do nothing to restrict in
dividualism nor to limit or de-
stroy natural and healthful COM
petition, they cannot be objec-
tionable.
But there are combinations
formed in total disregard of the
rights of the greater number of
men, and with the purpose of
destroying all competition. Such
combinations are highly OBJ
jectionahle and should be sought
out and rendered harmless or be
destroyed.
We must first segregate such
combinations as are not objec-
tionable. from those that are.
The latter class should then be
rigidly controlled or, if that is
not practicable. they should be
destroyed. ~%.+
1t will be readily seen that the
Administration and congress
have in hand an exceedingly
complicated and difficult problem
to solve. 1t must be solved on
lines in harmony with our form
of government. This precludes
all thought of government own
ership OF railroads and means of
transportation. 1t means the ad-
justment Of competition and
combination, so that what is de-
sirable in each will be left un-
trammeled, and that which is
hurttuI shall be eliminated. No
party can solve this problem on
any other lines and preserve the
fundamental principles of our
government.
1t is a new problem, compara-
lively. 1t can arise only in
democracies, or at least it is
easily negligible under other forms
of govern.nl Mt. For this reason,
mainly, we are compelled to be
very careful how we ATTEMPT the
solution. Our legislation has

GOTCH THROWS
BELL EASILY

CHICAGO. Feb. s.-Frank Gotch.
the American wrestling champion, de-
feated Fred Beell. OF Wisconsin, in
two straight falls last night at
Brooke's casino. Beells defensive
game was strong In the first bout, put
he was e. disappointment otherwise,
as he secured only, one hold on the
champion, a stomach and leg hold,
with which ne could do nothing.
Gotch continually tried for a bar
lock and several times succeeded In
getting this hold on his opponent, only
TO have II broken. Both men were
careful at all stages, and Gotch had
much difficulty in getting Beell on his
feet. A few minutes before the hour
was up Beefi fell from eiinch into
the bar lock and was downed In 54:03.
The second bout was repetition Of
the first with Gotch doing most OF the
work. His reach and height enabled
him to work at Beell's head and feet
Mt the same time, and he went after
his man less carefully than In the
FIRST period,
But Gotch picked him up OF the
floor and reversed positions, throying

Palmer Is considered by many OF
the local sports to be a far better
fighter than most people give him
credit for and he will not be overlook
ed In the betting, which has been de-
cidedly in Burns favor since the
match was made. The American
Canadian started out at a to fav-

bit Of nibbling at the short end. Pal
mer is figured much gamer than NOR.
Notwithstanding his defeat Dy the lat
ter and, judging by the confidence ne
displays, Burns will have TO fight his
best and be In the pink OF condition
TO win.
Burns is just as confident OF beating
Palmer as he was OF putting Moir

friend to bet all he had that the New
Castle man would not last the sched-
uled 20 rounds.

IMPROVED PITCHING GUN
PASSES TEST AT HARVARD

tube, or gun, is mounted on a stand,
so that the barrel Is about five and
half feet above the ground.
The baseballs are fed into the gun
at the breech and are expelled By CON-
pressed air. The amount OF the pres
sure can be turned on heavily In or
der to speed the ball, or IL can be re-
duced TO a smaller pressure, throwing
slower ball. The pressure Is reg
ulated by lever.
But the most interesting part OF the
ball pitching machine Is the device
which enables any kind of curve or
combination curve to be thrown. The
ball. while In the barrel. rests on two
wheels. These wheels are operated
by strings, and communicate the twist
to the ball which makes the curve.
BY pulling one string the wheels are
made to revolve I'm one direction, and
by pull on the other the opposite d.
rection is produced. In this way an
out or in curve can be thrown. BY
twisting the barrel, so that the wheels
are above and below the ball, drop
or upshoot can be secured.
The direction OF the ball Is adjust
ed by a kind OF pivot, on which the
gun is mounted, and on which the
muzzle can be elevated, depressed or
detected TO one side or the other as
is required.
The inventor OF the machine is Geo.
s. Cahill, OF Holyoke, where 1t was
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1908-02-08

constructed under his direction. He
has not yet had an opportunity Of try
ing II out satisfactorily against bat
ters. and was delighted TO have an OPP
portunity Of making use OF the base
ball cage at Harvard.
Coach Pieper and a large number OF
the Harvard baseball men were on
hand all the afternoon watching the
demonstration OF the machine. and
they took turns in batting the balls
which Is sent over the plate. They
expressed themselves In the most en-
thusiastic fashion over the device and
over the almost perfect accuracy with
which II could be made to throw any
kind of ball It's operator desired.
There was, however, one difficulty
In batting the balls thrown by the In
strument which Mr.. Pieper comment
ed on. There IS. OF course. no wind
ing-up motion preliminary to throwing
OIL the part OF the machine, which
makes IT far harder to bat against
than against human pitcher.
The first the batsman sees after the
sound OF the compressed air escaping
is the ball hurting towards him
through the air. and until he gets used
TO IL this feature OF the machine makes
It puzzling gauge the fight Of the
ball.
As used in the tests, the machine
was exposed TO the danger Of being
damaged by a hot liner. But in It's
completed state It will be protected
by q shield. which will give 1t the
appearance OF a masked battery, and
will also guard the operator from any
unexpected comeback on the part Of
the batsman.
