TO THRASH RIVAL

DES MONIES, Jan. 1S.-After
travelling all the way from Snohom-

letters which his wife's former sweet
heart refused to surrender. C. l..
Clemens, a former football star at
Leland Stanford University, found
the man he sought in the office of At
torney General Byers at the State
house. There Clemens attacked his
one-time rival, R. H. Dosh. prom
inent attorney of Stuart, Ia.
The two men glowered at one an
other and then began a vicious fight.
during which they made their way
into the corridors of the capital
building. Inmates of the scores of
offices, hearing the confusion, ran ex-
citedly into the halls and witnessed
the terrific beating which the Wash
ington man administered to Dosh. 1t
took the strength of a number of
men to pry Clemens from the pros
trate attorney, who was picked up
unconscious and taken to Mercy hos
pital, where it is feared that he will
die. He has a fractured skull and
is otherwise injured.
Clemens was arrested and is held
under heavy bonds on the charge of
assault to commit murder.
Clemens refused to give the reason
for the assault and Dosh has not re-
covered sufficiently to talk, but

are inserted, and all those which
show signs of not having taken
should be rebudded in order to
give them an early start and that
they may grow more evenly with
those first budded.
Budding done in June and July
is styled summer budding" 1t
is not considered as good as early
spring budding, because the buds
do not start even; and as the
greater portion of them start
late their growth is so tender by
the time winter sets in that, if
they pass through it, they be-
come prematurely hardened by
the cold weather, which some
times causes the trees to become
stunted.
Fall budding is generally per-
formed during September and
October, and sometimes in IA
vored localities as late as No
vember. After the strings have
been removed they are left to
pass the winter in dormant bud,
to be started in the spring.-Ru-

plants the basic principle cannot
be too often insisted upon-that
most trees and plants must be
cut back when planted.
Yearling whips of all sorts of
orchard trees are the best to
plant. Such trees usually have
no branches. Cut them back to
a point 13 to "a inches above
where the first branch is wanted.
The mere cutting back will in
duce most of the buds to form
branches. If not cut back, usu
ally but few comparatively
weak branches will push out and
these near the top. Many trees
die outright where this impor-
tant feature is neglected. The
second year from three to five
branches are selected to form the
framework of the tree. All the
rest are removed. The selected
branches should be properly
spaced around the stem so as to
form a symmetrical, we'll bal
anced top. One should constant
ly have in mind the way the tree
will appear when it is full grown.
Apple trees have been particu
larly in mind in the above discus
sion, but the principles will ap-
ply to all fruit trees. Open
centered trees have also been
discussed for the reason that they
are considered best. If one pre-
fers tree with a central leader,
the training is much the same,
except that at the first pruning
the uppermost branch is left
longer, upon which is developed
what amounts to a second top

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS,
A Lesson in Intensive Farming by
K. II. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station.
University of Arizona,
,IanuarV IL IMl7-

january ID, 1917.
Just west of Yuma Arizona in the alluvial
food plain OF the Colorado, lies a little farm
of 10 acres which on May /, 1868, was virgin
bOttomland, covered with Saltweed, arrow
brush and creOSote bushes. The original
purpose of the tract was for planting selected
varieties of date palms imported by the U. =.
department of Agriculture from the Old
World. The Experiment station, May 2. be-
gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the
work of leveling, bordering and irrigating
the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was
completed.
THE PLAN OF WORK.
Recog nizing, however, that a farmer with
his living to make meantime, cannot afford
to wait for an orchard to come into bearing,
it was planned to plant crops for Quick,4Te-
turns between the tree-rowS, thus putting the
work on q feasible basis fronl.the small farm
er's point of view. In order 10 economiZe
ground the irTigatng borders were so placed
as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus
utilizing space otherwise usually wasted.
The tract was divided by the borders into
lands, for the most part one-half an acre in
size. lrrigating water from the Colorado
Valley p. d |. Cana! was obtained in the Gus
tOmary manner, and +. Il. Crane, himself
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was nicknamed our play farm
In size, as well as in the intensive character
of the work planned, this farm" is the OPP
posite of the average holdings of this locality.
The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa,
corn, barley, and forageS in general, compara-
lively little attention being given to Vege-
tables and fruits Withal, the cost of levelling
land in this region is high, rarely falling be-
low twenty dollars an acre at current prices
for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, eX-
elusive of maintenance, of the Govern ment
irrigating system now under construction
will bc about $3.50 an acre annually for ten
years. To meet these and other heavy items
of eXperSe in connection with the establish
menJ of a farm in this region, intensive crops
of more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. 1t was partly,
therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general Situa-
ton, that this cultural work was planned.
