That Club Meeting
Large and Enthusiastic Crowd of Five
Present at Widely Advertised
Commercial Club Meeting

That was stem winding Cmmerc
club meeting held last Saturday evel
ing There was a large crwd pres
ent, five at ne time, as near as we
could count them.
Much business of importance was
transacted and if All the dams that
were built that night by the five VIII
attended, were put together, they
would entirely cover up the Magic
Dam
But, nevertheless, whether the
Commercial club does anything or
not to encourage them, the settlers
are coming, and they are going to
come in such numbers that they
will even wake up thethe Richfield
up-to-date Commercial club which
all of us now know would surely be
smething terrible Letters inquiry
cncerning Richfield and the Richfiel
tract are puring in every day and
they are cming as high as hundred
a week, from people who actually
want to locate here. The CONNER
cial club are receiving these let
them and the Recorder is receiving
them, and they are coming anyhow,
whether we really want them to or
not, so what is the use Of keeping u
Commercial club anyway. Let's
sell the furniture and buy dog tags
for all the untagged dogs III town,
and at least, let something receive
some benefit from the money.
But to get down to actual facts

known as a diversified horticulture
state. The many inquiries received
at the experimental station show tha
the apple is by no means claiming
the entire att ntion of fruit plant
ers and growers. But as at present
the talk is largely apple orchards
something should be known concern
ing the best places for such trees.
Orchards planted on hillsides seem
to have the advantage over those on
level ground in the way of air as
well as water drainage. While ap-
pie trees do poorly when the roots
are constantly IN poorly drained soil
the blossoms often suffer from the
lack OF drainage Of the cold air
There is less danger OF fruits being
killed in spring by frost when the
air is in rapid motion than when
there is no breeze.
The atmosphere is seldom per
fectly quiet in a rolling country.
The cooler air is constantly settling
to the lower lands as the weight is
greater than OF warm air; thus
setting into motion the air on hill
sides. In this way orchards on hill
sides have constantly changing air,
while the roots OF trees can grow
around and interlace rocks and boul
ders it is impossible for them to pen
citrate solid lodges. Apple trees plal
ted on very shallow soils may grow
and flourish for two or three years
but will not continue to do So
There should be at least four or five
feet of soil under the tree to insure
plenty OF food for the tree growth.
Preferably the land should be
seeded to some legume before being
set to orchard. In so preparing the
land it will be better fitted for the
vigorous growth of trees. The
land should be plowed thoroughly
and made mellow. The proper plac'
to escure nursery stock is at the
nearest nursery to the proposed or
chard provided that the proper quail
ity of stock is to be had there. BY
getting your trees near at hand you
get trees that are acclimated and
get trees that are acclamated and
you also avoid larger shipments whi'
may be detrimental to stock 1t is
best 70 see trees to know what you
are buying. There is but little dif-
terence in whole root and piece root
grating as long as both operations
are done skillfully.
