SAD EXPERIENCE
Raises Fine Fruit In Georgia Only TO be
Looted of Profit In Chicago Market.

Looted of Profit In Chicago Market.
An artist living in Chicago
acquired a little fruit farm in
one of the most productive
regions of Georgia, where sew
eral of his relatives had settled.
Although he was seldom able to
visit the place, which was operat-
ed by a brother-in-law, the artist
took a keen interest in his coun-
try holdings, and talked proudly
to his city neighbors and asso-
ciates about his farm. Early in
the season he received word
from his brother-in-law that the
first crop of grapes had been
gathered, packed, and shipped
to a South Water Street com
mission house, They are beau
ties the letter informed him.
Finer, sounder, sweeter grapes
never went out of this part of
Georgia"
Instantly the artist made out
a list of dozen friends to whom
he had boasted of his farm.
Then, on the day after the
shipment was due to arrive, he
went to the commission house to
buy a dozen baskets of his own
grapes for his special friends.
His eye lighted with the pride of
possession when he saw the
baskets, stamped with his own
brand, stacked up on the side
walk and inside the commission
house.
Any grapes?" he inquired.

THE WEATHER BUREAU
A TRUST
Az Unduly Expensive and unprOgressiye
One il is At That.


Our Weather Bureau is a
trust. One by one, it has alb
sorbed the state services and the
photographic office reports, I'M
til today it is one of the most
beautifully bureaucratic bureaus
known in this land of the free.
1t is a trust; but, contrary to
the practice of our most benevo-
lent trusts, it does not hand us
out a better article for
less money. 1t hands US out the
same article for more money. If
we could prove even this much,
We should have a story worth
the writing; and we can prove
not only this, but very much
more.
BY way of indictment of our
Delphic oracle at Washington
we may make the following
specific and definite charges:
/. That it is unduly expen.
sive.
2. That it does not progress.
8. That it is excessively ex.
planatory and excessively self
defensive.
4. That its servioeis general
and not specific, whereas specific
service is the only sort which
can possibly be of value to the
average individual man.
5. That it is evasive and in
tentionally ambiguous.
5. That it offers no we'll
founded hope Of Improvement in
local forecasting.
AS to the expense Of this SER
vice, we paid last year more than
a million, six hundred thousand
dollars for it, more than any
other nation in the world has
ever thought of expanding. Yet
our Bureau does not serve a
greater population nor a wider
range Of interests and indus
tries than are served in other
civilized countries. Our institu-
ton is like other things Ameri.
can: 1t is bigger and costs more
than anything of its kind in the
world; also, like other things
American, it is cursed with pol /;
itics. (
Most things American, how.

reclamation project in the Big Horn
basin of Wyoming, is at home for
months vacation after about four
months spent in his work as irriga-

Mr.. Wherein talks interestingly of the
big project the government now has
under way in Wyoming. The Sho-
shone reclamation movement is ex-
pected TO ultimately bring 100000
acres under cultivation and water has
already been furnished for 10000 acres
with the prospect OF half million
dollars being expended during the com
ing winter on this work.
The dam of this project Is located
near the new town of Cody in the Big
Horn basin and when completed is to
retain 465 900 acre feet OF water. Cul.

project is going to be a success. al.

OAK LEAF DIET KILLS CAT.
TIE IN COLORADO

The stockmen grazing their cattle
on the national forests in the south
west, especially in Colorado and New
Mexico, have suffered serious losses
during the present summer through
the cattle eating oak leaves.
In that section of the country the
season has been unusually dry and
grass extremely scarce. To exc out
the scanty forage supply, the cattle
have browsed heavily on the scrub
oak which covers large portions of
the range. Ordinarily the stock does
not browse much on the oak and
the little they do get, taken with the
other food, is not injurious, but
when, as in the present season. the
oak browse furnishes large proper
tion of the daily food of the cattle
the results are serious.
The oak leaves and sprouts con.
tain a large percentage OF tannie
acid. The action OF this acid on the
stomach is extremely injurious and
the losses have been unusually Sc.

COVER CROPS IN
WELD COUNTY
ORCHARDS

With the increase in the growing
of orchards in the Greeley dls'rio's'
the growers are frequently puzz'eu
whether or not to SOW the roll - the
orchards to crops.
Some growers use permanent ana
others occasional cover crops III 'heli
hrcbards The benefits derived from
these crops are the improvement o'
the phvsical condition OF the soii U!
the addition of humus, protecuoh
against high soil temperatures III
summer, addition OF nitrogen anu
winter protection for the soil.
HEAVY soils are greatly benehted
by blowing under cover crops as the
organic matter added makes the soli
more friable and more retentive OF
moisture The use of cover crops TO
protect the soil during the hot sum
mer weather seems to nave much
weight with some growers. and these
folks keep the orchard permanently
in red clover or alfalfa. They disc
in spripg and follow with smooth
ing harrow. The first crop is cut
for hay while the second is allowed
to remain as cover during winter
Another practice in much favor is
that OF alternating a cover crop OF
red clover kept for two years with
clean cultivation lor a like period.
The idea of soil improvement is up
permost in the minds of those who
advocate this system. A cover crop
does not conserve moisture but on
the other hand robs the soil OF it
Hence, sufficient water must be ap-
piled both for the cover crop and the
trees. Their use is therefore re-
stricted to those localities where
water is fairly abundant.
Green crops plowed under return
to the soil those elements of fertil-
ity which they take from it, adding
organic matter and also nitrogen II
the crop is a legume. This is a de-
cided benefit. When, however, a
crop is removed there is a loss which
cannot be restored by green manur-
ing. Our western soils in their vir-
gin state lack both nitrogen and
humus. There is thus an obvious
need of cover crop to put on soil
in good condition for fruit produc-
tion. II not turned under in the
fall the covering affords Judgement
for the winter SHOWS and proves
most beneficial to the roots in hold
ing the moisture. We all know what
the drouth of winter means to an
orchard.
