IRRIGATION OF AN ORCHARD
Too Frequent Applications Of Water
Results In Great Evil Of
Surface Rootlnu,

Ono OF the frequent evils resulting
from too frequent application of water
on heavy soil is surface roofing. BE.
cause OF the swamping of some val.
liable lands In northern Colorado from
heavy irrigation some orchardists
adopted the plan Of giving light, but
frequent irrigation. The result was
that when the water was applied dur.
ing the spring months, the ground was
BY turns over wet and then baked and
the roots growing so near the surface
were badly Injured in tho fall and
winter: Another result was that the
overstimulated growth and humid con.
dition OF the air made an ideal condi.
ton Tor blight and many orchards
were nearly ruined. It is evident that
II We are to successfully initiate the
best natural conditions the moisture
must be thoroughly diflused over q
great depth Of soil and never be very
wet. or at least as seldom as possible.
and get the surface dried out and mel
lowed as quickly as possible after
such wetting.
To accomplish this the water must
be allowed to flow in deep burrows for
from ~ to 4S hours. Care should be
taken to have the burrows close
enough to insure the whole width of
sub'soil being wet. The less the sur
face 10 wet the better. When there
are resets In an old orchard 1t will be
necessary for the irrigator to provide
short branch burrows to bring the wa.
ter much nearer the crowns of the
young trees. as their feeder roots are
80 much shorter. With good cultiva
ton on deep soil two or three such
wettings a year will be found sum.

from none 10 one or two for cherries,
plums and the peaches.
As for the time for the wettings the
nrst for apples and pears should be
given In the spring unless We have
abundant rainfall. when It should be
omitted entirely. The second should
be given when the fruit is maturing:
the third should come after the wood
has ripened. These like the first may
be omitted II there Is heavy rainfall
at these times suficient to wet the
ground two or more feet deep. Again

cold winter follows. none Is required
in the spring. It can be safely said
that on good. deep soil. with good till
age three good irrigations q year will
always be sufficient. On porous. grav
ely soil. with the same tillage from
six to ten may be needed.

BUT One WITNESS
AGAINST ROBERTS
Detective ellis to Present
to Grand Jury Case Of
Alleged Murderer
NO OTHER WITNESSES
HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

It is likely that the Casey Murder
at Claymont, will be investigated this
AFTERNOON by the grand jury. Attor-
ney General Gray said at noon that
the case~of Reese Roberts, accused Of
the Casey murder, probably would be
given to the grand jury to-day.
So far as is known no witnesses
have been summoned in the case
against Roberts, and 1t is said that
none will be summoned to go before
the grand jury.
The state will rely on one witness
to present the case against Roberts,
and he will be State Detective Gillis.
If any other witnesses are deemed
necessary by the grand jury they will
be called in. That Detective Gillis
will present the case against Roberts
to the grand jury was admitted by
Deputy Attorney General Wolcott to-
day.
There are rumors again that the
state has some damaging admissions
from Roberts, which with other evil
dence Detective Gillis has is regard
ed by the attorney generals depart
ment as sufficient evidence on which
to ask for an indictment. Attorney
General Gray denies the report that
Roberts has confessed j. Frank Ball
has been engaged to defend Roberts.

Boston Preacher Thinks the

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
BOSTON, Sept 26.-Predicting that
Theodore Roosevelt was going to make
himself in effect emperor of the
United States, the Rev. II. S. Johnson.
in a sermon on Theodore II exuded
q few ideas that are causing not a
little comment here today among poll
ticians. Discussing rhe former presi-
dent and his activities, the Rev. Mr..
johnson said in part:
Theodore / needs to be controlled
He has risen to such heights that
there is grave danger he will forget
anybody else is living in the world.
II think Mr.. Roosevelt is the most
remarkable man I'm our generation. He
thinks so. too. And that's where the
trouble lies. When a man begins to
think too much of himself, he be-
gins to forget others.
Hitherto l have always voted for
him. think he Is second Abraham
Lincoln. I think everything that is
good about him. He will spoil all
the respect he has won In the hearts
of many people II he does not follow

of our country, and be content with

the effort to sidetrack him at the last
moment is an insult.
When the Old Guard leaders learned
of this they stock steps to work on
Bennett and his friends. They sug-
gested that if he would turn his dele
gates oyer to them they would nomi.
nate him for governor. The Bennett
men form a good percentage of the
New York county delegation, and il
they were to go over to the Old Guard
it would entirely upset the Roosevelt
program. Bennett, however. refused
to make any such trade, at least until
after Roosevelt puts in an appear
ance.
In addition to Bennett, Low and
Stimson, the following names are be-
ing considered by the leaders as good
