Cupid Was Quick to Act.

Cupid Was Quick to Act.
In poplar parlance Perle c. Brown
i"slipped one over" on his numerous
friends in two towns when last Sat
urday evening he hied himself away
to st. James and there was united
| in marriage with Miss Lottie Rice,
popular and estimable young lady
whose parents reside in Madelia,
says The New Richland Star.
The idea of getting married was of
the spontaneous variety, so far as
the young couple was concerned. Mr..
Brown and his bookkeeper, George
Hovig, left New Richland Saturday
afternoon in the formers car, reach
ing Madelia in the, early evening.
They were later joined by Miss Rice
and Miss Lila Dossett and started
out for a little motor trip, taking
the direction of st. James, the coun-
| ty seat of Watonwan county.
About ten minutes before reaching
| ST. James, so the story goes, Mr..
Brown became suddenly imbued with
! the desire to wed and when he
preached the matrimonial subject to
Miss Rice he found that young lady
game to the stunt. Upon reaching
st. James. although the hour was
getting late the couple set out with
, determination to carry out their
plans. Mr. Hovig was let into the
planning and although he was IN
clined to treat the matter as joke,
he was finally convinced that If an
ordained minister was to be found
and a few other preliminaries at
tended to, there was going TO be
real, sure-enough wedding. George

1t will be impossible to say just
who will be able and who will not,
TO grow crops in the orchards.
That will have to be left to the
judgment of the grower. If you do
have to lnter-crop always keep this
in mind, that your ultimate aim is
to produce fruit. If you attempt
to produce as large a crop among
your trees as your neighbor does on
clear ground you are running a big
risk of running your orchard.
Don't plant crops up nearer than
five feet on either side of your
young trees. Increase this space
each year. l visited two-year old
apple orchard in which the owner
was growing strawberries. In about
an acre of this orchard the berry
plants had been set right up to the
trees; in fact, the trees were grow
ing right in the rows Of berry plants.
These trees were just about one-half
the size of the remainder of the Or
chard. The difference was so strik-
ing that at distance we Judged
them to be one year old, as they
were no larger than those of an ad.
joining tract set out last spring. 1t
was very concrete example and
the owner said that he expected to
profit thereby.
By the time the trees are four
years old they should be given clean
cultivation. No crops should be
grown except a cover crop Of rye
and vetch, drilled in the latter part
of August or the first of September.
If the trees are making a vigorous
growth just SOW rye, as the vetch
adds nitrogen, which promotes wood
growth. Plow this crop under in
early spring. The old idea that the
roots of trees do not 60 beyond the
spread of the branches is not true.
| have seen roots from fruit trees
extending out over 80 feet from the
tree. By the time a tree is four
years old the inter-spaces between
the rows are taken up with roots,
and nothing should be grown dur
ing the summer, as at this age they
demand all the moisture and plant
food that the average soil can fur
nish.
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1911-06-02

similar one should be sufficient
warning. Crops of this kind de-
mand the same kinds of plant foods
that are being used by your perma-
nent trees, also this crop is dug at
a time of the year when the ground
is not in the best of condition for
working, and the soil is left in
very poor state. Among the cult
waited crops that may be grown are
truck garden crops, corn, potatoes
and small fruits.
Corn is a crop that can be grown
successfully only1n a limited region.
1t has some very serious objections
as an orchard crop among which is
the fact that it SO ravenous feeder
and tends t" deprive the tree of it's
plant food and moisture. Many
growers in the southern part of the
state plant corn very extensively
and claim that good results are OBJ
tanned as the young trees are shaded
by the corn just at the time the
summer heat is most intense, also
in case of a grasshopper pest the
insects feed on the corn and do
bother the trees. However, / have
seen young orchards seriously stun
ted by corn being planted close up
to the trees.
Truck crops are without doubt
the best crops to grow among young
trees. In order to get results from
the vegetables the ground is highly
cultivated and in many instances is
left in a much better state after
the crop is removed than it was
before. Crops of the melon type
are very good, as the big spread OF
vines with their large leaves cover
and shade the ground, acting some
what in the capacity of a mulch.
In some of our famous fruit grow
ing sections, strawberries have
proven to be the salvation of the
man who had to make his living
among the trees while they were
coming to a bearing age. This fruit
requires an abundance of plant food
and moisture. If your orchard is
located in section where irrigation
is not possible and there is de-
fciency in rainfall you had better
let Strawberries alone. Without a
good supply of moisture they will
be an expense instead of profit.
The fertilizer can be applied in a
highly concentrated form, such as
nitrate of soda, ETC., during the
growing period, and the trees will
also be benefited as we'll as the
berries.

This question is often asked: Is
il advisable to grow crops in a.
young orchard? This is a question
that is Of vital importance to many
a small orchardist. Also, it is a
question that many "booster" clubs
and real estate men make much of
in advertising their sections or
towns. Many a tract Of land is
sold or the strength of the ad"
that a good living can be made be-
tween the rows while the orchard is
reaching a bearing stage. This
question is of vital importance to
the small orchardist for the very
reason that, in most cases, he has
used up all his spare cash in buy
ing his land and setting it to trees,
and as result will have to make a
living while his trees are reaching a
profitable bearing age, which, in
most cases, means for the first six
or seven years. In answer to the
ABOVE question, l will say that crops
can be grown. but the grower will

non.in selecting and planting the

should not be grown. This is of
