Advantages to Fruit Growers

Trunks--Now Is the Time to Attend
to Odd Jobs About tho Place.
1t is only within few years that
fruit growers have begun to realize the
advantages of setting out orchards
in the late fall instead of in spring, es-
pecially ii the more central attitudes.
where the ground seldom freezes to a
depth of more than Il few inches.
= In the first place. the ground is in
far better condition and more work
able than it usually is early in spring.
Then the planter has more leisure for
the selection and careful examination
from root to tip of his young trees.
which is desirable even when purchas-
ed under Il guarantee from the most
reliable nurseries, since insect enemies
and disease germs are as varied and
numerous and since the packers are
often so crowded by orders that there
is no time for close inspection of each
individual tree, says q writer in Farm
Progress.
The trees. also. just entering on the
state of winter dormancy. fresh from
the soil in which they grew. have Il
greater vitality than those that have
passed the winter in great bundles
merely "heeled in" to be ready for the
spring trade.
Unless the land for the projected or.
chard Is so naturally sloping. prefer
ably eastward or northward. that there
is perfect natural drainage ditching or
the draining is Indispensable The
greatest danger to fall set trees is that
water from winter storms will stand
about the roots, q case in which few
would survive. especially the stone
fruits. TO prevent this, even where the
general situation is all that could be
desired, particular pains should be tax.
EN- to press each layer of earth as it is
filled in closely and firmly among and
over the roots, always, however with
care not to Scrape or bruise the latter,
and to slightly mound it up around the
trunk in the finish.
Unless each tree is firmly anchored
to stout; stake, which is not practi-
cable in large orchards. it is ant TO
wabble back and forth in high winds
and form Il cavity into which air and
moisture will enter that would prove
very detrimental to the roots. Mulch
ing with anything except ashes. and
this should not be put against the very
tender bark of young trees, is ques-
tionable practice. since field mice and
other vermin are liable to burrow un-
der it and gnaw the trees.
The only alternative. then. is for the
orchardist to visit his young trees fire.
qnently in winter and when the ground
Is open press the soil up close around
them. which lie can do with the toe or
side of his boot.
1t is seldom recommended to plant
berry fruits in the fall, but some of
the most successful growers claim to
have had for many successive years
far better results from fall set plants
than with hose put out in spring, and
rs they start so much earlier much
time is gained.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.--Califor- mia oil operators are greatly encour- aged over the reports emanating from Washington concerning oil land legis- lation. There Is very indication that the federal officials have come to . keener appreciation of the special problems that attend the enactment of laws governing petroleum production.
 Recently the machinery of the law has been set in motion to dispossess the Southern Pacific Railway Company of illegally acquired territory In Call fornia; Secretary Ballinger has direct ed attention to the necessity of open ing the withdrawn areas to entry, and Assistant Secretary Pierce has begun work on his report as to locations and patents. In each instance the depart ment has been persuaded to the same process of thought as the California operators.
 In this alone 1t Is we'll recognized that a great object has been attained. When the California delegation went before congress early in the year. the greatest difficulty encountered was the Ignorance of the members of both houses as well as the bureau officials on the subject of petroleum and pe- troleum lands. It was then observed that the greatest headway could be ob- tained by bringing the federal officials to California. This was done. Their reports have already altered the opin- ions previously prevailing at the na tional capital
 Secretary Ballinger. in a statement recently issued. shows his familiarity with the oil situation when, touching the public agitation regarding the dis position of oil on the public domain in California he emphasized the neces- sity for congress providing a method for the exploitation of these resources which will protect the interests of the public
