FERTILIzING THE BLOSSOMS.

is only necessary to jar the vines ev-
cry day or so, and the pollen will
spread sufficiently.
when the vines grow too freely l
prune them thoroughly. In some in
stances l prefer the one stem system
Of pruning, tying to an upright wire.
The temperature of my tomato house
is between 60 and 75 degrees.
Unless person has tasted the
string beans grown under glass he
really does not know how delicious a
common vegetable can be. l have
found the Early Warwick the most
desirable variety for growing in the
greenhouse. 1t is extremely easy to
grow, does not require very rich
soil and occupies the space short
time, usually from six to eight weeks.
"In the colder half of my green
house the temperature ranges from
80 to G5 degrees. Lettuce, caullflower
and radishes are the three vegetables
which are TO be had there every day
throughout the winter"

FALL FLOWING.
Facilitates Work In the Spring and
Improves Seed Bed.

Improves Seed Bed.
While little definite investigation has
been carried on TO determine the rela-
tive value Of spring and fall plowing,
yet the practice on many of our west
ern ranches is to get as much as pos
sible of the land to be seeded In the
spring plowed during the fall. This
foresight Is considered especially es-
sential in breaking new ground. OF
course in the arid region of the country
it is difficult to plow in the fall, and
some farmers leave the work until
spring In order that the land may be
plowed much more easily after the
SHOWS and spring rains. One advan-
tage in fall plowing is that it opens up
the soil ana admits the moisture from
the fall ana spring rains and winter
SHOWS more easily.
In some cases, however, quite as
good results are gained from leaving
the stuhblc on the ground throuellout
the winter. \ long Stubble tends TO
prevent the snow from blowing and
accumulates considerable moisture I'm
the soil. Our spud aud beet fields are
dug up SO much that they do not need
autumn blowing. and such fields are
always In the best tilth In the spring
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1908-11-10

One distinct advantage In fan plowing
is that 1t facilitates work in the spring
and tends to better preparation OF the
seed bed at that time.
If large areas must be plowed IN the
spring the work is crowded and not
enough attention is given by way or
preparing the seed bed. Our springs
vary. and frequently 1t is quite late
before farming operations can Degin.
# is therefore a decided advantage to
have the ground plowed in the fall IN
order that 1t may be worked up rapid
ly in the spring with the disks ana
harrows. Another advantage for ran
blowing is that it affords a good means
of disposing of the manure. AS soon
as the grain is cut and when 1t is
standing In shock manure may be dls-
tributed over the field and as soon as
the thrashing is done can be plowed
under.
The precipitation of the succeeding
months beats down the soil and so
tends to bring about decomposition IN
the manure. If the manure is left ana
plowed under in the spring it fre-
luently lies in strawy punches and In
terferes with the rise of moisture
ater. The observations in many sec
ions indicate that the very best way
o dispose of manure is to get 1t on
he ground and plow it down in the
all. Our modern traction plows and
he introduction of the disk plow have
lone much to simplify fall and winter
flowing In this country. 1t frequently
ccurs that we have a good rain or
nowstorm, after which the plowing
an be done quite readily.

A CLUSTER OF WAUGH PLUMs.

America. OF late years, however, the
insects destructive to this admirable
fruit have become less plentiful, and
now there have been introduced so
many kinds that are proof against the
ravages of the plague that the plum
is fast resuming its original impor-
tance as garden and orchard fruit.
Plum culture has already reached
high stage Of development on the Pa
cifc coast, and since the new varie-
ties from Japan made their appear
ance the number of grNwers all over
the country has incre ascd greatly.
The modern plum is great improve
ment over the old fashioned fruit of
half century ago Some of the
hybrids recently brought to public no
tice by American growers bid fair to
become prime favorites. Among the
most promising of these is the Waugh,
plum which has stood the test re-
markably we'll and is in every respect
desirable acquisition.

Cotton Seed Meal for Milk.

There is no question but that cot
ton seed meal grows in popularity
as its intrinsic value becomes known.
There is 40 focdstuff known that
will place the same amount of fat
on cattle within so short time as
cotton seed meal combined WITH
cotton seed hulls, and th.s facy is
recognized wheresoever this feed is
used. When fed to dairy COWS, Or
by the family that has but single
COW, its use increases the quantity
of milk, improves the color, and the
cream therefrom makes richer and
better butter, but while the ration
of hu!ls need not be limited ct all,
that of meal should no. be more
than one-half the quantity fed for
fattening purposes.

Dr.. Stiles is man who with rare
self-devotion proposes to give his life
to the effort to reduce this fearful
Southern death rate-its excessive
proportions in our cities being bu:
typical OF similar conditions IN ou-
country Gistricts-apd there is no
man IN America today who more
heartily deserves the cooperation of
every ase2cy in the Southern States
1t is not climate that makes our
Southern death rate so high. 1t
IS lack Of sanitary precautions upon
the part of our large negro popu-
lation and also upon the part of Il
large white population as well. In
the name OF human life, let US set
about remedying these conditions.

Mr.. Percy says that the son was
behind Carmack and the father in
front. each SO near their victim that
the son was powder-burned by the

BLEW OPEN VAULT
AND TOOK OVER EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS
From South Bend, Ind. Postoffice
Almost in the Presence Of Night
Mail Clerks
Mail Clerks.

South Bend, Ind, Nov. 16.-Bur-
glars tunneled a 14-inch fire wall,
entered the vault of the Dostofflce
with an electric drill, and escaped
Sunday morning with nearly $4,000
in stamps, while force Of night
clerks were at work. The theft was
discovered at $50 in the morning
by a clerk in a store one door north
Of the room temporarily occupied by
the postoflce during the erection of
the new building.
The clerk having occasion to enter
the store found it impossible to open
either Of the doors to which he had
keys, and, suspectilg that something
was wrong, called patrolman.
Throwing their weight against the
loors, they forced an entrance and
an examination showed that they had
been fastened by large screw hooks
inches had been electrically drilled
in the i4-inch fre-proof wall, form
ing one side of the postofice vau,..,
through which one Of the thieves
| entered the vault and passed the
plunder to his confederates. The
| burglars worked so skillfully that
the night force OF mailing clerks
within one hundred feet OF the vault
had no knowledge OF what was tax
ing place.
Access to the store room was
gained BY ascending stairway fifty
feet south OF the store to the thir1
door OF the building. From the
head OF the stairway the robbie &
crossed over to the building north
of the postofice and descended tc
the first floor next to the postoface.
! Before beginning operations or
the wall the ,thieves covered tRs
floor and stairway with scores G.
blankets and quilts, taken from the
stock Of the store, and also hung
thick guilt on the north wall Of tn;
vault under which the drilling wa:
done:
AS the bricks were loosened the,
were pulled out Of the driller's wa!
by means of small tackle and pull
10y, which was left behind.

/ way showed a lookout was stationed
in position which would give hin
q full view OF the street through th'
window In the front Of the store.
AS the booty would all not les
!! than eight suit cases, the police be
| lieve that at least four men were as
sociated in the robbery.
The electric drill used was WORKED
by power taken fro mlighting wirs
less than 20 feet from the wall, tn
wires being attached from & des'

WANTS TO GET LOOSE
From His Father-in-Law Who Holds
Him Fast.

Spartanburg, Nov. 20-Willis
Tucker, a seyenteen-year-old Whit
boy, through his attorney, J. B.
Atkinson, has brought habeas corpus
proceedings before Judge Klug ask
ing that he he delivered from the
control of Peter Lindsay, his father
in-laT.
The case is a most unusual one,
the young man charging that he has
been kept at work on Lindsay's farm,
near Campobello, and hired out to
work on the farms of other men in
~tbe community, and that he has
never received any compensation
for his services.
Tucker says that for the past
nine months he has been living with
Peter Lindsay. and while living with
Lindsay he was persuaded to enter
a marriage contract with Lindsay $
daughter, Miss Mary Lindsay, but
since mis- marriage he and his wife
have not been allowed to occupy Z
separate room from other members
Of the family.
Tucker further says that he has
been required to work on his father
in-law's farm without pay, and that
Peter Lindsay has frequently hired
him out to work on other farms in
the surrounding country.
The young man alleges that he
has often attempted to leave his
father-in-law, but was threatened
with violence and prosecution, and
that he has been dreadfully abused
and mistreated.
