APPLE GROWING.
Some Particular Soils Which Give the
Best Results.

1
The apple thrives on ii great variety
of soils. Indeed, 1T is grown to some
extent on almost every kind OF arabic
soil in America When planted on
large commercial areas with view or
profit, however, 1t becomes necessary
TO select those particular soils which
give the best results.
A somewhat gravelly soil or even one
yerging somewhat on stony has been
found by experience to be highly sat
isfactory for apple growing. provided
only there is an abundance OF plant
food present, says Country Gentle
man. The gravel and small stones
doubtless assist In the drainage, and
this fact probably explains in part the
superiority of such soils AS a rule, we
may say that gravelly loan fairly rich

The soil surveys now being made In
various parts of the country have In
general way verified the commonly ac-
cepted opinion on this point. Some or
the soils we'll known as successful APP
pie producers have now been described
and mapped and given names. That
soil known as Porter's, black loan.
which is found In extensive areas
along the eastern slopes Of the Ale
ghany mountains. is noted for its adap-
tation to the growing of apples 1t Is
upon this soil that the Albemarle Pip
pin of Virginia is grown. In western
New York the Miami stony loan may
he mentioned as soil Of well proved
adaptahility for apples. This Is widely
represented in Wayne county, known
as one Of the best apple growing conn
tics in America
Sandy Loans.
In other parts of the country sandy
loans or even silt loans are found to
be successful in the production of ap-
pies. The Miami silt loam furnishes
the principal basis of. large apple
growing industry in Clinton county,
ILL.,, while the Marion silt loan, SO
called. is the soil chiefly developed in

two or three years. 1t may be done
just after the plants have lowered
March to june and before growth

As the plants are seldom repotted, it is

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


LOS ANGELES, May AFTER the
hottest campaign Los Angeles county
ever has experienced preliminary to a

party relaxed for few hours tonight.
only to grid themselves for the fight
that is to come tomorrow in the $50
precincts of the county. Managers of
the Lincoln-Roosevelt league voiced the
conviction tonight that victory is GER
tain for them in at least six of the
nine assembly districts and they fully
believe they will be successful in three
where the Southern Pacific machine is
most strongly intrenched-the sixty
ninth, seventy-second and seventy
fourth.
Interest in the contest is proved by
the tremendous registration for the
primaries-6O, o0o-which is about
double what is was for the same cleo
ton two years ago. This interest is
attributed chiefly to the desire of the
people to shake off the yoke of Herrin.
Never before has there been OPPOSE
ton TO the machine so strong as that
perfected by the Lincoln Roosevelt
league. 1t has active workers In every
precinct and there are clubs innumer-
able throughout the county, all COM
posed of workers determined to smash
the machine. Representative men COM
pose the leagues list of delegates, and
through them in the state convention it
is believed wonderful reform will be
effected in the composition of the state
republican committee, which will con-
troll the party machinery through the
next gubernatorial campaign.

GIRL PLUNGER IS
JAILED FOR THEFT
Pretty Josephine Brown Com
fesses to Gambling Away
Employers Money
Takes Nearly $4,000 and Loses
Ii All in Bets at Race
track

Charged with the theft of thousands
OF dollars she is supposed to have lost
plunging on the races. Josephine
Brown. a pretty young book keeper.
was arrested yesterday al the ferry
building as she stepped off a boat re-
turning from the racetrack, where she
had gone in a last desperate effort TO
win enough money TO make her short
age good and escape the arrest which
she knew must come.
Confronted by her employer, f. Fried
lander, who conducts a lingerie estab
lishment at 1915 Geary street, Miss
Brown broke down and confessed her
guilt While the thousands of visitors
Were pouring into the city past her at
the ferry she sObbed out the tale of
her disgrace and begged TO be given a.
chance TO work and earn money 10 pay
back what she had taken. But the
warrant had already been sworn to
and the fair prisoner was placed in a
carriage by her detective captors and
hurried away to prison. She was
booked on q charge of embezzlement
and her bail was fixed at $1,000. In
the absence of this she remained in
cell all night
Miss Browns downfall came. it is
believed, as the elimination Of series
OF plunges. both at the Emeryville
track and in hand books operated on
this side Of the bay. She had worked
for Friedlander first as book keeper and
then as book keeper and cashier COM
bined for three years and until short
time ago was a trusted employe.
Frfedlander became suspicious of his
book keeper first when he learned in
directly that she was playing the races.
and playing them heavily. Continued
reports of her plunges came 10 his
ears. A detective was employed and
Miss Brown was watched.
At the same time d close watch was
kept, unknown TO her, on Miss Browns
books On Tuesday night false entry
was found and Miss Brown was laid
of. without being informed that she
was under suspicion. An expert, who
has been working on the books UP TO
yesterday. had turned up discrepancies
amounting 10 almost $1,000.
While Miss Brown affected conster-
nation when the hand of the detective
was laid on her shoulder at the ferry,
she later admitted that as early as
Saturday she had become convinced
that her thefts had been discovered
7 determined TO take just one more
chance on the races" she told the de-
tectives on the way to the prison, and
getting together all the money 1 could
went over to Emeryville and tried to
win as much as I had borrowed. In
stead I lost as usual If my bets had
cashed I had planned to go to my en-
ployer and make a clean breast of the
whole affair"
When arrested Miss Brown was with
her brother in law. R. W. O'Keefe. He
denied that he had been with her at
the track or that he was aware Of her
dishonesty. Miss Brown has been liv-
ing at the OKeefe home. 32S Preside

The daring conduct of the two is

SAILORS RECOVER
DAMAGES AT LAW
Shipped for Shanghai, They
Were Carried Toward VIadi-
yostock During War
japanese Capture Them After
Al Days Spent Fast in
Great Ice Floe

The United States circuit court OF
appeals decided a large number of
cases yesterday. among them one grant
ing damages to the members of the
crew of the steamer Tacoma. which
was held fast in ice foe for Al
days and later made a captive by
Japanese war vessel.
During the war the Northwestern
steamship company shipped cargo Of
salt beef from Seattle on the Tacoma.
When the crew was shipped the desti-
nation of the steamer was said to be
Shanghai. Instead of going to Shang-
hal the steamer headed for Vladivostok.
When few hundred miles north of
Vladivostok the steamer Tacoma was
caught in an ice foe. Here she was
held captive for Al days. During this
period the 80 members of the crew suf-
fered intensely from the cold. When
the ice broke up the steamer again
steered for Vladivostok, but was cap
tured by a Japanese war vessel A
prize crew was placed on board the
steamer and the crew were taken to
Yokosuka, a naval station near Yoka-
hama.
The officers and crew of the steamer
brought suit to recover for personal
damages. The lower court rendered
decision in favor of the plaintiffs and
the court of appeals also decided in
favor of the crew.
Erik o. Lindblom, mining man of
Nome. Alaska, was given a verdict of
$5,297.10 from the Northern commercial
company in the Alaska district court,
and this decision was affirmed by the
appellate court. Lindblom sued to re-
cover for a cargo of provisions.
The decision of the lower court in
the case of Lester Beam against the
United States of America and John
Holcomb was affirmed. The appellant,
who was the illegitimate son of an
Indian woman, brought suit to recover
a homestead grant given to his mother
by the United States.
