her miraculous march to the King, her
being given command of the armies
OF France, her reorganization of the
French army and the beginning OF the

VINO has need of me-, But the King
refused. Joan was detained as head OF
the French army, and. after little
when France was FREQ, Joan remained
prisoner of the English King.
Then follows the mock trial, during
which Joan keeps the Kings secret,
defends her male attire and refuses
to acknowledge the authority of her
judges Her show OF recantation Is
explained, her Illegal execution de-
scribed, the official rehabilitation OF

HOW WATER AFFECTS
COLOR AND FLAVOR
Results of Experiments Con-
Quoted by Scientists of
Agricultural College.

Dr, T.. c. Ball of the Agricultural
college at Logan presented TO the
fruitgrowers convention Wednesday
morning briefly the results of expert
ments made with fruit, using q speci-
fed quantity Of water, and the best
method of applying water both for color
and flavor. The tests wero conducted
by DR., Ball and Professor +. G. Titus,
and were discussed in this wise:
One of the most astonishing dscov-
cries OF our tests is that 4 fine, profitable
crop of peaches can be grown with one
foot or water That is remarkable be-
cause It has always been held by farmers
that from three 10 four feet of water is
necessary.
BY applying water at varying times of
the sesso we can vary size. color. flavor
and quality of the peach and the amount
oi wood in a fruit tree can be altered.
We are now trying to determine Just
what is the best time to apply the wa
ter, TO mako the best fruit
We are conducting the tests on apple
and peach trees. We have had results
from the peaches but not from the APP
pies,
The tests arc Interesting In the eN-
frcmc and promise to become OF CONNER

FOR the watering of trees and the exact
amount Of water TO give the trees In Ger
