True Bond of Marriaae.

Sacred things not performed sim
cerely as they ought are in no way
acceptable to God in their outward
formality. If personal duties be not
truly done, the fault is in ourselves; !
but marriage to be true and pious
marriage is not in the single power Of
any person; the essence whereof as
of all other covenants Is in relation to
another; the making and maintaining
causes thereof are all mutual, and
must be communion of spiritual and
temporal comforts. IT, then, either OF
them cannot or obstinately will not be
answerable in these duties, so as that
the other can have no peaceful living,
or enduring the want of what he lust
ly seeks and sees no hope, then from
that dwelling love, which Is the soul
Of wedlock, takes his fight, leaving
only some cold performances of civil
and common respects, but the true
bond of marriage, if there were ever
any there, is already burst like rot
ten thread. John Milton.

SHOW HOW TO PACK APPLES
Horticultural Department of Iowa Col
ege to Hold Apple Packing
Schools.

Apple growers in southwestern
Iowa are to be shown how to pack
their apples for market to get the
top prices for them. The horticul-
tural department of Iowa State col
lege has just made arrangements to
conduct three apple packing schools
at Hamburg, Council Bluffs and Mis-
souri, Valley, with an additional school
at Glenwood If that can be arranged.
They will be held between the dates
of August IA and August 26, the first
session Of three days at Hamburg.
the second at Council Bluffs, and
the third and fourth at Missouri Val
ley and Glenwood.
The schools will be conducted by
expert packers from an apple coun.
try that has set the pace for scien-
tif1c apple packing, the Hood river
apple growing district In Oregon. A
telegram received today by Prof. Lau-
renZe Greene from the expert makes
certain his coming. The schools will
be open to all apple growers and a
fifth may be established at the state
fair for the benefit of fair visitors
These schools will put dollars into
the pocket of every apple grower who
attends said Mr.. Greene. Iowa or
chardists have lost enormous profits
because they did not understand the
packing and marking of fruit. One
Mills county man two years ago sold
his crop on the trees for $3.50; the
man who bought harvested 1,4OO bar
bells of apples; he knew the game and
he got more than ten times $3.50 for
the crop. Every season there are
scores of such instances This profit
ought to be saved for the grower"

A Valuable Bulletin.

The enormous demands made on
the Iowa agricultural experiment sta
ton for Prof. w. j. Kennedy's valua-
BILE bulletin in filling the silo reflects
the enormous increase in the num-
Der OF silos in Iowa this year. 1t is
estimated by the agricultural engi-
neering department of the college that
several thousand were sold to Iowa
farmers this year No definite infor
nation is available on the total num-
Der, but 1t may reach 1000 to 5000
before the silo building season is
ended. That Is about double the num-
Der erected in 1910. The number of
Iowa silos, constructed of tile blocks
or concrete, will pass the 400 mark
this year; last year the number built
reached 100 or more. Every brick or
tile concern that undertook to manu.
facture tile for these silos is working
night and day to fill orders. Prof.
'Kennedys bulletin on filing the silo
is intensely practical and describes
every step from beginning to end. It
may be secured by writing to the

SOIL CULTIVATION
IN ORCHARDS
Beneficial Effects Strikingly Shown at
Iowa Experiment Station

The value of thorough cultivation OF
the soil in orchards is strikingly il.
Illustrated In the experiment plots OF
the Iowa state college at Ames. The
ground under the trees in one plot is
covered WITH heavy sod-the condi-
ton Of most orchards in Iowa. The
ground In the second plot was seeded
to oats in the spring and is now in
stubble; the ground of the third plot
was carefully cultivated throughout
the spring and summer and has
mulched surface two or three inches
deep.
The trees In the sod plot have a
sickly looking foliage, more yellow
than green, and the fruit on them is
small in size and rather poor in quail
1ty. They show the lack of moisture.
The trees in the stubble plot look
considerably better, the leaves have
fair color and the fruit Is in fair con
dition. Evidently these trees had
more moisture during the drought
than the sod plot trees.
The trees in the cultivated plot pre-
the other plots. They are covered
with rich green foliage and the fruit
on them promises to grow to good
size and develop excellent quality.
They seem to have had enough mois.
ture in spite Of the long dry season.
Yet these three plots, showing the
severe effects of drought, the medium
effects, and none at all, stand In the
same corner Of the state college farm
Neither had any more rain than the
other and each had as much as the
other.
The care of the soil made the diff
ference. In the sod plot, the moisture
In the ground was lost in large meas
ure; in the plot on which was grown
the cover crop of oats, considerable
proportion Of the moisture was con
served In the well-cultivated plot
practically every bit of the moisture
was conserved. In the sod plot, dig
ging revealed the ground to be dry
for many inches down. In the we'll
cultivated plot, all that was necessary
to find moisture was to scrape away
two or three inches OF mulch. Under
the top covering of dust the ground
was damp. The trees that grew in
that plot stood the drought excellent
~.
AN orchard will repay careful cul-
tivation," said Prof S. A. Beach of the
department of horticulture. ''These
plots show that conclusively. Under
exactly the same conditions we have
an orchard suffering from lack of
moisture and another that seems to
be well-watered. The cover of the
soil under the trees made that differ
ence.'

the NEWS believes that the best

The NEWS offers you in one vol
