stuff and his sound advice.
ALFALFA IN THE ORCHARD
Under date of March 9th, M. d.
Nichols, Kettle Falls, WASH, writes:
81 am a reader of The Ranch, and
would like to know if it is advisable
to seed an orchard to alfalfa and
leave it for a permanent crop? We
have an abundance of water for irriga-
ton, and my orchard is from six to
eight years old. Please answer trough
the columns of The Ranch. "
Ny answer to this inquiry would be
eyes, With plenty of water with
which to irrigate both the trees and
the alfalfa, and with trees of that age,
| believe that no better step can be
taken than to seed to alfalfa. With a
scant supply of water, | would prefer
nothing to be raised in the orchard
but the trees. 1t will surprise any
one, who has never studied the matter,
to learn how much water will be
dOSOIU6u lIOD Uu0 SUI duu 0FdpOIdL-
ed into the air by any growing crop.
Prof. f. HI. King in his valuable
book entitled 1.-THE Soil" discusses
the matter quite fully and after Civ
ing statistics showing the large amount
of water used by growing crops of
different kinds, concludes as follows:
"This is at the mean rate of 325
tons of water for each ton of dry
matter produced At this rate if
an acre produces two tons of dry hay
it will require that $50 tons of water
be sent into the atmosphere by
evaporation. AS alfalfa is a gatherer
of nitrogen from the air it will make
the soil richer and in this way help
the trees as well as the alfalfa itself.
We are seeding down some of our
older orchards to alfalfa. There are
two things to be considered if we seed
to alfalfa. One is that it will be very
difficult to get rid of the alfalfa if we
should ever desire to do SO. The
other is, if the gophers are bad in the
orchard or are likely to become SO, it
will he a difficult job to ir1igate
properly. The ouly way to success
fully get along, if gophers are plenti
full in such an orchard, will be to
poison them, or catch them with steel
traps. With these words of caution,
| would say to friend Nichols, $50
ahead and seed your orchard to
alfalfa for it will do it good.o
Fred Robins, Allyn, Wash, under
date of March ID, writes:
"Win you please tell me, through
The Ranch, about setting out fruit
trees on upland which is quite gravel
ly and not very rich. Should the
ground be fertilized and watered
throughout the summer, and if so.
what kind OF fertilizer is best?''
1t is not an easy matter to give
satisfactory advice in case like this,
without knowing more about the con-
dition of the land and the amount of
rain fall in the summer. The fact
that the land is gravelly may not
render it unfit for the growing of fruit
trees in it's present condition. [

CITY TREASURER HAS
PLENTY OF WORK

That the assessments on the sew
ers In North and South Salem are
adding vastly to the cash account
and also to the amount of work neces-
sary at the city treasurer's Office was
demonstrated today when little
peep was given into the books of that
office by r. A. Crossan, city treasur-
er.
The assessments for the South Sa-
lem sewer alone now total $144,-
SS1.51, and 127 pages are consumed
in making the assessment record. Mr..
Crossan says between $4,000 and
100000 pass in out of the treasurer s
office every month, and total of
$45O,000 was handled by the office
last year The work of recording
sewer and street assessments has in
creased during the last year to such
an extent that 1t Is now necessary to
do as much bookkeeping as is done
In an ordinary bank.

THE CROP OF FINES
is FULL OF PROMISE


Eight Eugene speed maniacs were
arrested at Eugene Monday and fined
SIS per for exceeding the speed lin
1t in their Sunday outings. Some Sa-
lem autoists are preparing to in
crease the city revenues at their in
dividual expense. So far it seems to
be nobody's business, though to the
homely, common, everyday citizen
who cannot understand why one law
should be enforced and another not,
1t looks as though law violated ev-
cry day, and at the rate of from 20
to 30 miles an hour, might suggest
to the ptoper officials that an occa-
sional arrest might help pay the run
ming expenses of the city and cut off
that much from the running expenses
of the autos. Anyway, just as a
hunch, the autojsts might take a
look at their speed Indicators once in
a while.

him; and that they had always been
friends He admits that there had
been trouble between him and plain
tin because she wanted 10 20 TO
Portland with her sister. but he de-
nies that he stated TO plaintift that
he had found out that she and her sis
ter went to places in Portland not
fit for a man TO go to. and that he had
found out that she was not true to
him, although this is testified to by
plaintiff, her father and mother and
brother. all of whom defendant says
are good people. He admits the sec
ond item of violence charged in vio-
lently taking hold of plaintiffs arm
and pinching It,
1t is not necessary to state the de-
tails of each of these quarrels and all
that was said and done. It is suffi-
cient to say that defendant was at
fault and his conduct was sufficient
to and did cause plaintiff to be in
great fear Of personal violence at his
hands. Nothing in the evidence Of
fered shows any improper conduct by
plaintiff toward Vandolah nor in her
association with any other man; nor
does 1t show visits by her to any i'm
proper place in Portland. On the
contrary defendant testifes that he
never knew of her being with any
other man or anything of that kind;
that she is a good and virtuous wo-
man. Yet he made an Intellectual at
tempt at the trial to cast cloud upon
her good name.
In view of all the circumstances
disclosed, we feel justified in accept
ing plaintiffs account of the first
item of violence above mentioned, and
that the second, which is partially
admitted by defendant, took place as
she testified and this, in connection
with his violent temper and quarrel
some disposition, and the circum-
stances which took place at the time
Of the separation, amount to cruelty
and inhuman treatment toward plain
tiff, which rendered life burdensome
to her, and she is entitled to decree
of divorce for the care and custody of
the child, Floyd Folkenberg, and for
an undivided one-third of the real
property of defendant, and costs and
disbursements in this and circuit
court.
The decree of the lower court is re-
versed and one rendered here accord
ingly.

OBJECT To
IMPORTING
OF LABORERS

There are bitter feelings among
the laboring people Of this city over
the Increasing numbers Of imported
Greek laborers employed on public
work, and some action will be taken
this week to stop Il. One man, a ce-
ment worker, says he was promised
steady work all summer at $500 per
day, and is now out OF work and in
formed that he can take s2.25 or be
displaced by Italian or Greek labor
at that price. The sewers are being
built altogether with Greek labor,
and a movement is on foot to allow
only resident laborers with families,
or men who come here to make their
homes, have this work. The laborers
say If the city will adopt the policy
of employing only men of that kind,
Germans, Irish, Scandanavians and
other desirable white working men
will be attracted to this city, and will
result in better conditions all around
Petitions are to be circulated to
call a mass meeting and try to get
public action. The labor unions are
to take up the matter and help rid
the city Of the imported elements,
and give our own white common la
borers a chance to make a living
here.

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the Brit
ish household troops. They are gal
liant soldiers, and every loyal British
heart is proud of them. Not only the
kings household, but yours, ours,
everybody's should have its life
guards. The need of them is espec-
tally great when the greatest foes of
life, diseases, find allies in the very
elements as colds, influenza, catarrh,
the grip, and pneumonia do in the
stormy month of March. The best
way that we know of to guard against
these diseases is to strengthen the
system with Hoods Sarsaparilla-
the greatest of all life guards 1t re-
moves the conditions in which these
diseases make their most successful
attack, gives vigor and tone to all the
vital organs and functions, and i'm
parts a genial warmth to the blood

greater the exposure to disease

TEN strong.

In view OF the fact that the capi-

II will be necessary for the state
printer to move, as Il develops that
he Is occupying the present rooms
without any authority from the state
The state printer couples the
northwest quarter OF the lower floor
Of the state house. When Baker
was state printer the legislature
passed a resolution authorizing him
to occupy the quarters free Of charge
for period of one term. Since then
Whitney served one term as state
printer and Willis Dunlway is now
serving his second, and, despite the
fact that neither the legislature nor
the secretary of state granted them
the right to occupy the building, they
have done so without paying soli-
tary cent TO the state for the use Of
them
Additional quarters recently had
to be made for the state architect,
and when the state purchasing agent
assumes his duty he will need quar-
ters, and, unless the appropriation
for the additional building is allowed
to stand, 1t looks now as though the
state printer will be in imminent
danger of looking up other quarters.

COSTUME FOR YOUNG GIRL
Dress Of Popular seml-PrIncess Model
That 10 Suitable to tho Miss
Of Sixteen Years.

To select becoming dress for the
girl who is nearly a woman is task
requiring considerable judgment In
sartorial matters. One cannot al
ways take design at haphazard and
adapt it to girl of any type. for
generally one must study the physical
peculiarities of the prospective wear
er before choosing her frock. The
following Is a dress which will prove
equally adaptable to the tall girl or
the short one, the slender or the
stout, for 1t is modelled on the simple
lines that are becoming to all.
The dress is of the popular SEMI
princess order, consisting of a
tucked waist and an attached tucked
skirt, the whole closing at the back
in one-piece style Both in waist and
skirt the front is left plain. affording
a panel effect which serves admirably
for the trimming such as embroidery
or braiding. for instance. The waist
may be made high at the neck and
finished with a standing collar, or it
may be cut in the pretty Dutch round
that is SO deservedly popular. For
the sleeves, one may choose either the
bishop or the plain one-seam model.
provision being made in both styles
for finishing in full or shorter length.
A smoothly fitted body lining is in
cluded in the model, but this may
be omitted If desired.
The skirt is seven-gored one,
tucked to fit smoothly about the hips
and having an inverted plait at the
center back. In the medium size 1t
measures about two and one-half
yards at the hem. The deep band
facing may be applied or not, as de-
sired.
Eight and one-half yards OF 27-inch
or FIVE yards Of 42-inch material are
required to make this dress for maid
of sixteen. 1t may be attractively de-
vSsoped in any of the soft wool or silk
and-wool fabrics that are now In
vogue. French challis is being much
used this winter for such dresses,
and cashmere and henrietta cloth are
always popular. Satin or velvet would
provide an effective trimming.
This dress is designed for misses
of fourteen. sixteen and eighteen
years.-The New Idea Woman's Maya
