JUDGE DAVIS IN HARD LUCK
The District Court Jurist Figures in
Long Comedy of Errors

Judge Carl Davis is at home today

the hani of fate is against him. The
com0'y Of errors in which Judge Da-

ed 10 respond at the early hour he
called mp central an1asked the oper-
ator to call him at 2 o'clock.
The clocg set by Mr.. Davis failed
to go OF. his brother in law made the
mistake of setting his at 3 o'clock
INSTEAD OF and the telephone girl
forgot to make the call. and Judge
Davis missed the train by half an
hour. Still undaunted and with his

THINNING FRUIT IS paUoRTANT
Time is at Hand 70 Assist Nature to
Bring Bountiful Harvest,

The time for thinning fruit Is close
at hand. 50 the advice given by an
expert authority. such as Prof c. l.
Lewis of the Oregon Agricultural
College horticulture department Is
most timely.
"While the practice Of thinning
fruit is generally followed by our
progressive growers. Professor Lew
is says, nevertheless, there are grow
ers who do not nay close attention
to the thinning There is no one Drac-
tice in orcharding that will pay iarR-
er difference between first class fruit
and Gull frudt.
"Thinning is helpful in many ways.
First, 1t gives a large per cent OF
good fruit. In thinning all malform-
ed wormy. and diseased fruit must
be removed, leaving only the best.
This will greatly reduce the number
of culls that will have to be handled
in the fall. and will give a large per-
centage of high class fruit, reducing
the amount of culls to the minimum.
have known growers TO have only
one box of culls out of 1900 boxes OF
apples.
June OrOD. fnOuEu some SiD"oiH
thin before this. believe it is mn
wise to do 81 until we have studied
the drop question a little more close
vi. Where large orchards are to
be thinned one must begin early
when the fruit IS not larger than a
hazel nut. With small orchards 1t
is a good plan to thin more than once
during the season. In thinning one
should leave the hest specimen IN
some fruits this will be the center
fruit, and in others the outside fruit.
The amount of thinning will be con-
rolled by the variety, size. amount OF
fruit set and so on. The Yellow
Newton apple will often set five
fruits to the cluster, while Spitz-
enberg and Comice rarely set more
than one.
"The cost Of thinning a tree will
vary according to the size. etc. 1t will
run from Is cents to $3.50 per tree.
All of this, however. is a small Der
centage per box, and as already
shown, is the determining factor be-
tween first class and Gull fruit.

sections for the reason that w-ater-log-
ging in the west is always accompan-
led by a concentration of alkah salts
on and near the surface Certain OF
these salts are necessary TO plant
grOwths but certain others are ex-
ceedingly injurious. Water-logging
Is the natural result Of over-irriga-
tion and is made natural by the alb
sence Of natural drainage outlets. The
soil filing of a valley consists of de-
composed rock and Is often very deep.
The rainfall OF the arid regions is
very light and the evaporation factor
high. so that little water percolates
downward through the soil and as
consequence the ground water reser-
voir is usually we'll below the sur
face previous to the Irrigation Of a
valley.
1T has been demonstrated that a
rainfall of is inches properly dis
tributed will produce crops. The plant
of course. receives only a part of this
amount Much is lost by evaporation
and some by percolation. When irri-
cation is practiced. however, from
two to twenty times this amount OF
water is supplied The plant undoubt-
edly uses more than before. more is
lost by evaporation. but by far the
larger part of the excess percoiates
downward through the soil and even
tually finds it's way to the ground wa
ter reservoir, the level OF which Is
thus raised year by year until final
lv waterlogging and the attendant
alkaH troubles result. The bogs usu-
allv apDear in the lowest Dart of the
valley first, while the alkali shows up
on slight elevations.
Having once begun. the spread OF
the seepage Is rapid and the infec-
tion makes its way up the slopes un-
til eventually even the highest parts
are injured. The appearance Of the
bogs is viewed with alarm and their
spread with CONSERVATION by the
farmers who are steadily driven back
abandoning their farms and taking
up higher lands from which in turn
they are often In danger Of abandon
ment But. Notwithstanding the in
tensity of the alarm It never occurs
to these same farmers to reduce the
supply Of water that is doing the dam
age-in fact. they often use more
waiter in the vain hope of washing the
alloali away. IT cannot be truthfully
said, however that these man made
swamps could have been prevented
altogether by sane use OF water,
but the evil days would have been
postponed to considerable extent.
Nor will regulation of the supply
prove complete cure for the diff
ficulty."
