PLANTING TREES AND
SHRUBS IN THE FALL

Many nursery catalogues offer stock
OF fruit and other trees for autumn
planting, and in some cases represent
atlves OF nurseries have gone through
this state selling such stock and re-
commenting that falI planting Is just
as safe as spring setting.
II is usually urged that prices are
lower than in the spring, and this, to-
gether with the fact that most people
are anxious TO get an orchard started
at the earliest possible moment, has
led some persons into buying and
planting at this season. While it is
possible to plant successfully in the
fall in. some regions. in Colorado it is
at the best very hazardous.
A tree. in order to go through our
Usually dry winters, needs to have a
wsll developed root system, such as
takes at least one growing season to
produce. II the young trees are plant
ed in autumn they must endure the
most trying period of the year with
little or no root growth to take up in
some measure the moisture lost by
evaporation: hence winter killing by
drying out is the usual result.
There might be cases in which trees
set out in the fall would survive and
make good growth the next season,
but the experiences OF those who have
tried 1t. as reported in the horticultur-
al reports for this state, show fall
planting OF fruit trees to be very un-
safe. Why take any risks In the mat
ter. therefore, when little or nothing
is to be gained?
Late summer or fall is said to be
good time TO set strawberries and
other small fruits But this also is re-
ported unfavorably by those who have
tried 1t here. and this agrees with the
writer's experience. The strawberry
may. however. be planted in the latter
part Of the season more successfully,
as a rule. than other fruits. and q par
tial crop secured next season This is
to be recommended. however. only In
cases OF small gardening operations
and with strong plants either pot
grown or taken from nearby plants
II Is sometimes impossible In the
fall to transplant small shrubs from
one part OF the yard or neighborhood
to another by digging up a large ball
OF earth containing the roots. This
should be loweredcarefully into the
hole containing some water. and the
earth firmly packed about IL Some
pruning should then be given to re-
store the balance between top and
wrapping in straw or burlap will help
to prevent drying out

~ SKETCHES
A PATRIARCH OF THE TRAIL.

One of the pioneer Jayhawkers Of
Kansas was Ed Hewins and it In such
men as he that the world is seeking
today. Coming to Kansas In the early
territorial days, he became a factor
In the problem OF the free state Az
ter the Civil war. In which he fought.
he went into the cattle business In
the fall of 1884. when he could have
retired with a fortune equal to that
of any man in Kansas and was debat-
ing the advisability of giving up cattle
and settling down to the quiet life OF
his Cedarville farm. the determining
consideration against such q course
was the injury It would work to his
many employees on the trail and the
obligation he was under to take over
a bunch of II 900 head OF Texas cattle
on which he had an option on down in
the territory. He said he veuld not
leave his men in the lurch after they
had helped him TO make fortune and
he thought he was in honor bound to
take this lot OF cattle.
During the time his friends were ar
guing with him on this matter a cow
boy came to his house and told story
OF dissipation OF the night before
whereby he had lost the earnings OF
the summer and would be compelled
to go back TO his home in Texas with
out a dollar. He wanted TO pawn his
reyolvers and a pair OF silver spurs
to get a little money to carry home to
his widowed mother. Hewins was all
attention the moment he spoke OF his
mother and mechanically his hand
wen, into his pocket Drawing out a
roll OF bills he whipped of one with
three figures on the corner and said:
Here, take this and hit the trail"
The fellow looked as If he were
dazed and then slowly reached out and
took it, saying tha, he could give so
and so as security.
I haven't asked YOU for any secur-
ity," said Hewins take it and get
out OF town right away"
Cowboys are not as rule of The cry
ing sort, but that fellow cried as he
went away.
One Of your old hands?" was asked
Hewin by witness of the transaction.
Never saw him before" "what?"
That's all right never saw or
heard OF him before and do not know
his name" said Hewins.
That was Ed Hewins to the life.
That was his religion. He bought the
cattle, and the hardest winter in the
history OF the business was that win
ter OF 1SS4-S5 which followed. In the
spring he had the hides and horns
nothing more. He laughed about it.
That was Ed Hewins. the grand old
man. He never recovered from the
shock of the losses of that winter,

reverses all told on him so that he had
to give up and come out to the mount

was cool counsel prevailing in the
critical stages of the debate and 1t
was noticed that Senator Scott came
ever from the senate side to advise

suggestions too from others that after

Thousands Of Trees on the Tract
Those in Party

A party OF representative business
men of Baltimore made an inspection
Saturday of the lands OF the Third
Mountain Orchard Co., located on
Third Hill Mountain,in Berkeley coun-
ty.
The party was in charge of Mr..
Arthur p Shanklin, president OF the
company, and Mr.. Roger Dickens. sec.
rotary and treasurer. A special car
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
left Mount Royal station at 7:45 a. m.
and on arriving at North Mountain
carriages conveyed the party to the
orchard. After luncheon given by Mr..
jacob f. Hess. superintendent of the
company, the party strolled through
the orchard.
They found 5000 apple trees, plant.
five years ago, which are in a
thriving condition, and are expected
to yield in two years. They include
1900 OF the Ben Davis variety. 1000
York Imperials, $50 Wine Sap aud $50
Monmouth Black Twigs The orchard
also contains 1000 peach trees. which
will be taken out as the apple trees
develop, and 200 pear tees OF excel.
lent variety. --- ~-s~~ 1865 -
Mr., Hess explained that 40 acres OF
the land are ready for planting this
fall, 300 acres in woodland, 65 acres
fruit and 10 acres in pasture. There
are 37S acres in the entire property
Mr.. Hess purchased the property six
years ago, and finding the undertaking
too much for him interested others In
the project, and the result was that
the Third Mountain Orchard Co. was
incorporated on July 10 and Offices
opened at S42 Equitable building The
capital stock is $4,000 divided into
5000 shares.
Members of the party We're much
pleased with the orchard in every
particular. They were especially talk
en- with the location, as 1t lies on
the south side of the mountain and Is
we'll protected. The soil was found
to be of red shale and slate. and II is
said that the prospects are good for
one OF the largest orchards in West
Virginia.
Some OF the advantages OF the or
chard are that II is within five hours
'ul Of Washington and Baltimore,
within 10 hours, haul of Pittsburg
Buffalo and Rochester. The orchard Is
six miles from North Mountain, on the
main line Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
Assisting in entertaining the guests
were Mrs. Jacob #. Hess, Mrs. Nellie
