Some questions about the legumes
that are coming in show very clearly
a misapprehension as to how leguml-
nous plants benefit the soil. Many
seem to think that these plants must
be plowed under in order to benefit
the soil That is a mistake, for le-
guJnes will replenish the nitrogen that
has been used up by heavy cropping
without blowing under the tops of the
plants, that is, without any blowing at
all. An error once established will
live in the popular mind long after 1t
is found out. The reason why legum1-
nous plants so greatly benefit the soil
in which they grow is a modern dis
covery. Long before this discovery
was made the custom prevailed OF
blowing under clover. 1t was found
that soil treated that way was greatly
benefited. The conclusion was that
the rotting of the clover tops was the
cause of this benefit. 1t is true that
the rotting of vegetation plowed under
does benefit the soil, but this is largely
a mechanical action. BY this process
a close and compact soil is broken up
and becomes more pervious to water
and retains it longer. But we now
know that any kind of vegetation or
animal matter in the soil perhaps sets
free some available nitrogen, but not
near so much as many pretty we'll
informed men suppose. 1t was discov-
cred by the observing farmer that the
blowing up of clover land after the
hay was removed showed it to be
very rich Then came the theory that
it was the rotting of the roots that
caused this increased fertility. There
was some truth in this, but not the
whole truth.
1t is now known that the cause OF
the increased fertility in clover land
is owing to the fact that very minute
vegetable organisms called bacteria
work on the roots and have the ca
pacity to take the nitrogen of the air
that cannot be used by the plants at
all and working it over into the avail
able form. These bacteria adhere to
the clover roots, and when they rot
the nitrates thus formed are left to
enrich the soil. But they enrich the
soil whether the roots rot or not. In
fact, this work of the bacteria helps
the clover itself before any rottlng
takes place, and not only that but 1T
helps a tree growing in the midst OF
the clover. This accounts for the
well-known fact that clover growing in
an orchard will increase the vigor OF
the trees. although the ground is not

vigorous growth the first year and
seemed to be feeble the second sum-
mer, but this summer it is forming a
perfect mat over the orchard From
this report I am hopeful this plant Is
proving to be one of the most valua
BILE legumes to grow in our orchards.
The sweet clover grew we'll the first
summer, wintered over and produced
a good crop of seed the second sum-
mer and then died. When I was on
my ranch the first of May the past
spring it looked as if the whole of it
was killed. but my son reports that
a fine crop is growing now from last
years seed. So this legume will re-
seed itself. The objection to sweet
clover is that it is nuisance as a
weed. 1t is true that this plant will
flourish in out of the way places
in gulches and by the roadside
has but little value as a forage plant
except for bees. It's blossoms are
rich in honey, and bees make much
honey from it's nectar. I have my
serious doubts whether the condemna-
ton of this plant as a weed is well
merited. 1t is an exceedingly valu-
able nitrogen gatherer. 1t fills the
soil with nitrogen as we'll as any other
plant that grows, unless it is alfalfa.
It is not hard job to- get rid of it
where we can pillow or run a mower.
When Prof. Piper sent us rs pounds of
the seed of the melilotus alba we
thought it was a good joke on us, for
we already had the plant growing in
our gulches where it made tremen-
dous mat as high as a mans head.
But we determined to give it a trial
in our orchards and are now glad
We need not give much of report
on red clover. It's value as a soil
renovator is too well known to need
much attention from us. 1t is doing
very well and reseeds itself. The COM
mon idea relative to red clover is
that it is a perennial, but that is not
always the case. Percival in his mag
niicent work, Agricultural Botany"
has this to say on this point: "Num-
bers of varieties or sub-varieties of
this plant exist. They differ chiefly in
their permanence, some being prac-
tically annual plants, others lasting
three or four years." So we conclude
that a red clover field will soon run
out unless it reseeds itself. But
whether it will reseed itself can soon
be determined by rubbing out, in the
hand, some of the brown heads of this
clover, and this will be the more evil

That's a fair sample of the bal
ance between the top and the root or
our trees. We consider the root as
the foundation and the top as the su-
perstructure. If you don't start with
a good foundation, you'll have to
take time to build one before you
can hope to build the superstructure,
which in the case of the orchard1st,
is the bearing tree.
Time is money.
We have argued for years on this
point and dwelt on the superiority
of our trees, grown on the Yakima
Indian Reservation. The proof is In
the orchards Of thousands Of salts
fled customers all over the North
west.
Soil rich in the elements of tree
growth, long growing season, water
when the young tree needs 1t, ana
incessant cultivation, all combine to
produce a good healthy growth on the
top and a root system unequaled Dy
trees grown elsewhere.
We deliver your trees with the
foundation. You don't have to lose
a year waiting for the roots to catch
UP with the top A crop. one year
earlier means a good deal In these
days of high priced fruits. That's
Just the difference between good
start and poor one.
Our trees give you good start.
Think it over.

In this county, Hon. P E G. Lally,
has frequently been mentioned for q
place on the bench. That he is emil

as his career is one Of the most

that he could afford to resign prac-
tice which must be much more lucra-
tive than the Judgeship, 10 to be
doubted however.

He was also awarded First Prem

The COW class was the strongest
ever shown. Fourteen matrons APP
peared and when finally placed the
'last one looked most awfully good. :"
In the two year old COW class fifteen
black beauties stood for aonors but
Mr.. McHenry's Barbara oath was
quickly placed at the head of the long
line. She has been champion at every
show this year and her almost perfect
form makes her winner in any ring.
In the Senior yearling class good
ones were numerous and honors more
even but Blackbird McHenry and
Pride McHenry I'D we're good enough
to be placed second and third. In
the Junior yearling heifer class Pride
McH enry was placed first and later
was given the Junior Championship
but her final triumph was when size

STRONG ADDRESS BY MR.. SIMS.
Fathers and Bushes. Men Should Sci Good
Example. The Homes Made Ilier..ias.
Steps for a Y. n. CA

As result of the meeting on Tues
day evening Of the Committee Of One
Hundred made up of men interested
in the moral welfare of Denison, it
is mott probable that an organization
will be formed. The meeting listened
to most practical talk from Mr..
Sims. The burden of bis talk, how
ever, was not Y NJ. C. A. but the
duty Of fathers to set the right exam
pie in the home before the boys: the
demand that the business men use such
methods as will show the soung. men
that business and right living are not
along different lines. It is indeed an
awful situation that the standards Of
the mother. that the boys should be
honest ana unselfish have to be set ct
naugth when they enter business
career it success comes to them In
many lines. Mr.. Sims, insisted that
the fathers should keep ia touch with
the boys, be their companions and
confidants. The home should be made
the most interesting spot in the world
for the boys and be place where
other boys should be. welcomed. The
need Of something to take the place
of the saloon and the pool hall for
boys to congregate in was brought for
ward and with this end in view a COM
mittee composed of Messrs. Sims, C.
D. Miller, Jacob Wiese, G. l., Voss
and DR.. Wright was selected to report
within u week at q called meeting A
gymnasium under the management
of tn. committee seems certain to
) follow. Some have suggested fitting
up the McKim hall first flour and
basement. others renting another
building. Talks encouraging the pres
emit movement were made by Messrs.
VanNess, Chas. K. Meyers, Sears Nc
Henry and Pastors LaReau, DePree
and Senseney. A result of the meet
ing was considerable talk among the
fathers as to how they were bringing
iup their boys. The mothers have
started meetings where they considsr
their duty to the children and it
would be good idea for series

states that after closing out his

of new life. The most successful of
these stores he kept, the others, after
he had resucitated them, he sold at q
good profit.
Thus it has transpired that while
"Kelly" has had half dozen shoe
stores for the last five or six years,
he has during that time owned per-
haps score.
The last few years Denison has
seen too little of Mr.. Kelly; he was
in Creston, Marengo. Clarinda, Jeffer-
son or at some other of his establish
ments. At the came time the GEN.
trail work wss carried on here. He
could tell from bis Denison Office
every Monday night just how many
pairs OF shoes he had in any one or
all OF his stores. just what sizes and
Just how the demand was running in
different styles.
He. wrote the advertisements for
all his stores and he is today and has
been for some time, one of the most
effectively busy men Denison has
ever known 1t seems queer that in
the midst of it all he should find
time for base bail and for occasional
days at the lake, but he did and they
were as the breath of life to him. In
Mrs. Kelly he has had most excel
lent helper. Dav after day she has
taken charge of the Denis,n store and
+ r a long time it was the fact that
he had such competent hands in which
to leave the home store that
enabled him to reach out and engage
in the brilliant campaign Of shoe
store speculation which has netted
him q handsome fortune.
Fer IL the truth is told Mr.. Kelly
does not have to engage in business
any more unless he wants to. He
could sit down and spend the rest Of
his days hunting, fishing and attend
ing league games and sill not rur
out of spending money. But the
truth is he is too active, too young,
too full of electricity to go out Of
business yet while.
Mr., Kelly will prove distinct adj

is thoroughly posted on all that per

he does not say that he would not &C.
