VALUE OF THE FRUIT TREES
Treat Them So as to Obtain the
Largest Number of 6uds-
Unit of Production.

We have been accustomed to regard
the fruit tree as the unit of production
in the orchard But the tree is a COM
posite and intricate organism. 1t is
more just and tends to simplify our
conception of the proper methods OF
treating the orchard to consider the
bud as the unit of production, says

Weeds.

3 Certain weeds are prevalent in alf-
alta fields. The chief ones are dod-
der, sweet clover, Russian thistle and
squirrel;tail grass. One Of these, dod-
der, is a parasite on the alfalfa. The
others are all pernicious because they
occupy space that should produce al.
falfa.

In planting we remove most of the
leaves and cut back the roots to two
or three inches, almost converting the
plant into bulb. Removing the
leaves diminishes the demand for wa
ter while new roots are being sent
out, and shortening the roots encour-
ages the plant to send out new ones
from the crown, which it often fails
to do il the old ones are not cut back.
Further, plant with shortened roots
is much easier to plant properly.
The strawberry may be grown on

in Garden Magazine. Nor should it be
used then if the bed is to be kept

rank growth that is very liable to

ONE COAST RECORD
BROKEN IN TRIAL
EdmundsOn of the U. of I. Equals
Worlds Record in Half Mile Race
Northwest Athletes at A.-Y.-P.

SEATTLE, August 2-Edmundson

established a new coast record of l
minute 90 and 2-5 seconds in the half
mile, in the try-outs of the Seattle
Athletic club entries for tie A. a. u
games at the stadium of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition last Satur-
day.
This wonderful mark is but two
seconds behind the word record of
1 minute SO and 2-5 second; which
was made by c. H. Kilpa fisk of New
York in 1895, and with III has stood
ever since. If edmuns IN runs in any
thing like the time he made Saturday
in the international games at the
Stadium here on August ID and IA, he
may be counted on to win the event,
as the best record of a competitor is
fully two seconds slower than his
mark. His closest rival is apparently
H. Gissing, who left last week for Sc
attic with the New York Athletic as
ISOLATION team. Gissing hls record
or / minute and 81 seconds in the
event.
In the half mile Risdon was given
a lead of twenty yards and Tidd of
forty yards, but Edmonson cut down
the lead of these fast men and finish
ed with good margin to spare.
Edmunson also proved winner in
the quarter mile, defeating Nelson and

PRETTY GIRLS AS
HARVEST HANDS
IndOlent Masculinity Put 10 Shame by
Bunch of Gay Femininity in
Nebraska Fields.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 3.-The small
grain harvest that is now being fin
ished throughout Southern and Cen
trail Nebraska supplies convincing
proof that the women of the west are
rapidly crowding the men out of the
fields of labor and are candidates for
positions in all of the respectable avo-
cations.
When the Nebraska small grain
harvest opened, there was a great
shortage of male help. Even SO a
day. with board, lodging and washing
did not attract the city man. A large
number of college students went to
the rescue of the ripening grain, but
the supply was far ,ess than the de-
mand.
Farmers became desperate. The
price Of wheat kept on soaring and
they could not afford to let the grain
go back into the ground
Girls Get the Jobs.
Out in Beatrice one day Henry
Wilson, a farmer living nine miles
south of the town, needed four men
for gathering and shocking wheat,
He offered idle park loungers $3.25

Stopping at a lunch counter before
going home, Mr.. Wilson tod MS
troubles to Miss Jeanette Allison. a
waitress.
"Why don't you hire grls?" she
asked.
"They would not go into the har-
vest field, and they would not do
the work if they could" responded
the farmer.
''Try them ventured the girl
Give me the same wages as you
would a man and I'll go. Besides, if
| do not do the work of man | will
not charge you a cent"
Not only did Miss Allison ride home
with Farmer Wilson that night. but
four of her girl friends went along
The next evening Farmer Wilson told
his wife that he had never had har-
vest hands that did better work than
the five girls. The second day farm
ers came from miles about, saw the
girls at work and that night many of
them went to Beatrice and other
neighboring towns where they hired
fifteen young women to work in the
grain fields.
Swamped with Applicants.
Word was passed down to Omaha
that young women could have en-
ployment in the harvest fields of Gage
county. An employment agency pub
lished this ad:
"Wanted-One hundred young wo-
men to work in the harvest fields.
Wages SO per day. Board and wash
ing"
The next day the employment
agency did business. He was swamp
ed with applicants, all young women,
school teachers, stenographers, col
lege girls and girls who had been
working in factories at from Sc to 81
per week. All they wanted was to
be given a trial. The farmers gave
them the trial and they made good.
They remained with the farmers un
til the harvest was finished and many
of them will continue during the
stacking and haying. receiving from
$1.75 to 50 per day and board.

Within a month the one-time bandit
will begin his tour. He will advocate
a shortening of the period preceding
parole; an increase of the number of
paroled prisoners; the abolition of the
dungeon and the straight jacket; the
elimination OF the stool pigeon sys-
tenn now in vogue in most of the penal
institutions and the increase of educa-
tional advantages for unfortunates
while in confinement.
1t is known that Evans, always re-
garded the more desperate of the pair,
is also striving to secure a pardon. If
successful, he will join Sontag on the
lecture platform. He is now an old
man, nearly blind and feeble, and his
relatives are seeking his pardon that
he may pass his remaining days out
side of prison walls
Evans and Sontag inaugurated a
reign of terror in Fresno, MADEIRA and
MERGED counties during the early nine
ties. They robbed trains and stage
coaches, railroad stations and post
offices. Free with their gums" they
had the surrounding country terror
lied. The Southern Pacific railroad
company finally decided to run the
bandits to earth. Detective Billy
Smith. one of the best known and most
fearless officers in America, was sent
west with instructions to capture the
pair no matter at what cost. Smith
endeavored to follow instructions, and
it cost him his life. He was shot down
while leading a posse to Evans home
in Fresno county
After this murder the bandits took
to the hills, but they were finally cap
tured after one of the most thrilling
man hunts ever held in the country.
Evans and Sontag were tried sep
arately and both were given life terms.
SOntag was given his liberty only a
few weeks ago. He is now in San
Francisco.
