Late Orchard Irrigation.

In j former article in News
Notes" published by the Colo
RADIO Agricultural College. the
question OF late fall or early win
ter irrigation of orct ards was dis
cussed. and the practice was ad
voeated in a general way. The
article provoked considerable dis
cussion in some localities. Some
growers had irrigated at this time
aud lost his fruit the following
season; others had lost some trees.
and the natural inference was
that the late watering was respon-
slble.
Possibly a short study OF the
philosophy OF late watering will
throw some light upon the sub
leot.
Tress trsnspire water in the
winter the same as they do IN
summer. but not to so great an
extent. of course. as when the
trees are in full Leaf and in an
active state of growth. The gIst
OF the whole matter is simply this:
II the ground becomes dry during
the winter. the trees will be very
apt to be injured by the tops be-
coming dried out. This is one ot
the principal causes of the 80
called freezing dry, a common
occurrence in the northern PAT OF
the state.
As a general thing it may be
said that late watering is advis
able, because the rule will apply
in the majority OF cases. But ii
is with irrigation as with most
other orchard operations-no set
rules can be given; the orchardist
must determine these points for
himself. 1t the orchard soil is in
clined to hold water. obviously
more water will be a detriment
In some cases that we have seen.
drainage would be better prac-
ticc. In other orchards the
ground will become very dry. all
of which the grower can easily
determine. and then he should
regulate his practice accordingly.

LETTER FROM Mr.. TREANOR
He Gives His Version Of the Rum
away on Monday Evening.

Mankato, June II, l90S.-To The
Free Press: Please allow me to eX-
plain the predicament | was in wnen
my team ran away and demoralized
things in general. The team is a pair
of five year, old colts, gentle as kit
tens on the farm, but little nervous
in town. On coming up Front street
/ passed a couple of street cars and
autos without any trouble arising and
the horses paid no attention to them
in the least.
Opposite Schmidt's harness store Mr..
10. Lamm came up from behind with
his auto and very close to the near
horse and the animal took fright in
an instant. He began to lunge, and
for few rods the auto and team
were running side by side. Finally
the auto passed the team and turned
in ahead of me, stopping at the ex-
press office, and before l got half the
next block the horses were beyond my
control Then my spring seat became
unlocked at one end. This left me
powerless in wobbly seat, perched
high in the air on a double box, SO
II Jumped off, striking the pavement
lin as limp a form as possible to
avoid breaking any bones. If l had
remained in the wagon it would have
been one chance in a hundred that
would have missed being thrown
into the plate glass window.
l presume that the people will think
that | am death on autos, but
q Ant hax 70 ctn nd
the more of them the better, provided
the right people operate them.
/ recognize the fact that autoists
have a right to run their machines
in the streets and in the country
roads, but it does seem to me that
they should try to exercise the great
est precaution against causing runa-
ways or accidents, either in the city or
in. the country. 1 am willing to con-
cede that many of the autoists are
careful in the handling of their ma
chimes, but there are others who do
not seem to be considerate of those
who are drying in the streets.
There has been great deal of
kicking among the farmers on account
of auto drivers being reckless. To a
great extent the kicking is justified.
There is more travel on your dirt
streets by the farmers than on. Broad
street, simply to avoid the autos.
1t has been a conundrum to- me why
so many men take their families for a
ride and must promenade Front street
at a time when it is congested with
travel. Would it not be better for
them to go out to the parks or in
the country and give the people on
Front street a chance to attend to

losing their lives and the destruction
of their property, as it was i'll my
case. One, man with a bruised limb
and another sent to the hospital, a

ness to repair, a wagon to rebuild and

more or less for plate glass demol-

1t is just such instances as this that
antagonize the farmers and cause an
ill-feeling between them and the town
in general, and with this little ill-feel-
ing here and there and over the United
States is it any wonder that Sears,
Roebuck & Co. do $40,0OO,00O worth
of business annually? Now let the
auto club get after these reckless fell
lows and bring them to time, and |
would suggest that some means could
be devised whereby pleasure riders
could keep off of Front street as
much as possible during business
hours. In common sense way OF
thinking it is a business street, not a
pleasure street.
From the way that Mankato has
progressed these last ten months it is
bound to be an excellent city and the
farmers should stand by her in her
enterprises in the way of her manufac
tories and retailers and keep our
money at home
