The ground should be thoroughly
plowed before the trees are set and if
a subsoil pillow is used the soil will be
in still better condition. The soil in
an orchard need not be excessively rich
in order to secure good results. In
fact if the soil is excessively rich the
trees will go too much to wood and will
not come into bearing as early as on
poorer land. The volcanic ash soils
to be found in all the Pacific states, and

VASALY GETS IEAVETT'S JOB
Little Falls Editor Becomes Mem
Der of Board of Control.
His Confirmation Would Make the
Board Solidly Democratic.

Charles E. Vasaly, editor of the Lit
tie Falls Herald, has won out in the
fight for place on the board of con-
troll and if his appointment is not held
up in the senate will become the third
democratic member of that very i'm
portant body. For six years at least
he will fill the place to be relinquished
in a day or two by Samuel w. Lea
vett, once democrat but of late years
a trailer with the republican process
sien and a thorn in the side of the
democratic administration.
Vasaly's appointment comes as a
surprise, as it was not known until a
day or two ago that his name was be-
ing considered. Furthermore his Sc
lection cannot be regarded otherwise
than as signal recognition of the ra.
dical wing OF the state democracy, for
Vasaly has been one of their leaders
for years.
Whether the senate will confirm his
nomination remains to be seen. Forty
republican members had signed pc
titlon for Mr.. Leavett' S reappointmen,
and may take it into their heads to
show their displeasure with Vasaly' IS
appointment.

ARMS0N SUCCEEDS McVEY'
Saltwater Mayor Named for Place
on Tax Commission.
Governor Picks Him from a Long
List Of Candidates.

Yesterday afternoon Gov. Johnson
appointed Mayor J.. G. Armson OF
Saltwater to succeed DR.. Franklin
McVey on the state tax commission,
DR.. McVey having resigned to accept
the presidency OF the North Dakota
university. The position into which
Mr.. Armson steps pays $4,000 year.
He was selected out of a long list OF
candidates, and, while the Review
would have much preferred to see the
honor go to Andrew j. Eckstein OF
our own city, it is willing to concede
that the appointment is a good one.
Mr.. Armson is business man of long
experience and has for many years
taken a great interest in tax matters
He is president of the Minnesota Tax
League.
He has always been active in demo.
cratic politics and moreover is a
staunch johnson man.
