WINTER COVER CROPS

! A coyer-crop Is any crop that II

| coils and also to improve them eithek
airactly or indirectly. 1t may be used
as a soiling crop or as a green-mall
,re crop. 1t may be grown in sumS
mar TO protect the soil from the hok
summer sun or in fall to prevent The
,eaching and washing by the wintef
| rains In Western Washington
| xvbere the rainfall is heavy, it is es.
necially desirable that the land
| should be covered during the long
| rainy winter season.
Winter cover-crops utilize the sol-
uble plant foods which have become
valuable during the late summer and
early fall and thus prevent them from
hainp leached out and carried away
nv the winter rains, and also prevent
surface erosion of the soil by sup-
n,vine humus and retaining moisture,
and thus Fastening the disintegration
of the soil particles. The soil is in
far better condition after royer-
crop Of vetch and either oats or
wheat or rye for spring-sown crop
than 1t would be If the ground were
left bare.
Another and by no means unim-
portant consideration is the cost of
farm land. At present prices Tor
land, it is necessaryc to obtain the
largest possible returns from the
soil. This demands that more ihan
one crop be grown each year. by
sowing common watch and oats, for
example, as early in September as
moisture conditions will insure ger-
mination, this crop may be used as a
soiling crop in spring early enough TO
plant spring crops. Watch and wheat
or watch and rye may follow the next
fall and so two crops may be grown
each year, much to the benifit OF the
soil as we'll as to the financial inter-
ests of the farmer |
A series of Investigations with |
various cover-crops are to be begun
this fall at the Western Washing Ex-
pertinent Station, and it Is hoped thV
large number of farmers will jdEi
in the efforts to improve the agrD-
cultural conditions of Western WaA-
ington. !

SEED SELECTION

The matter OF selecting seed sior
next years crops should occupy ;he
attention of all agriculturists from
now On till all crops are harvested.
1t is too late in most sections to
wheat, but seed corn, and potatoes,
may yet be selected from the hill
and kale and cabbage plants and
other biennials may be noted and pre-
served for next year.
The value of homegrown seed is
quite generally recognized but com
paratively few farmers raise their
own seed. In cases where seed is
saved from the present years crops
it is too often true that the select
ion is made from the bin the fol-
lowing spring instead of from the
field. This is better than planting
the culls as is often done with pot
atoes but Is far from the best method
The only way to secure the best
seed is to select it from the field
where it grew where all the factors
may be considered. The best pot
alto or the best ear of corn may not
represent the best plant. The pot
alto may have been one of two OF
three which grew in hill and is d
good individual specimen because Of
Its monopoly on the plants energies
and the fine ear of corn may have
grown alone on an isolated stalk in.
stead of being a good average speci-
men on stalk which produced at
least one other good ear and in con-
petition with other stalks.
An early or late maturing var
iety may be developed by SELECTING
seed from plants having the des,rpd
characteristic. The yield of not
atoes may be greatly increased by
selecting seed from hills yieldinp a
suitable number of marketable TIMERS
rather than from hills yielding few
tubers.
Few farmer would think of breed
ing all of their cattle or horses or
hogs, and yet many make little mr. no
selection of seed. Careless methods
IN either case will bring returns far
short of the best.

Magee, left fielder for the 'Phillies."
caused one of the most dlsgraceful
scenes ever witnessed at ball park
in this city when he made an unprO-
voked assault upon Umpire Finneran.
The affair happened in the third in.
ming of a game with st. Louis, when
with two of the home players on the
bases Finneran called Magee out on
strikes.
Magee hurled his bat into the air in
disgust and Finneran ordered him to
the clubhouse Magee stood still for a
moment and then rushed at the um-
pire.
They clinched for an instant, and
Magee stepped back and again rushed
forward, giving Finneran a light push
with his right. Magee then swung his
left with terrific force squarely on
Finneran's face
Finneran dropped like a log and re-
manned on the ground, apparently un-
conscious. The players of both teams
were taken so completely by surprise
by Magee's unexpected assault that 1t
was some time before they could
move.
Meanwhile Magee remained q few
feet from Finneran, as if ready to re-
new the battle. The players of both
clubs and the assistant umpire. Rigler,
ran to the home plate, where Finneran
was struggling to get on his feet.
Finneran, although groggy, managed
to take off his chest protector and tried
to rush through the group of players
to get at Magee, who appeared to be
just realizing the enormity of his Of
fense.
Magee's team mates and the ST.
Louis players induced him to return to
the Phillies' bench and the spectators,
who were beginning to get their
breath after the startling episode.
roasted him vigorously.
Finneran at last fought off the peace
makers and disappeared in the Phil.
lies clubhouse in search of his assail-
ant, but he failed to find Magee.
After Finneran was led into his
dressing room by Umpire Rigler the
latter returned to the field and UNI
pired the remainder of the game
When asked what punishment would
he meted out to Magee for his offense,
President Fogel said 1t cost Klemm
only $50 for striking Manager Bresna-
han.
"Now we will see," he said, "what 1t
will cost player for striking an UNI
pire. I understand that when Fin
neran ordered Magee to the clubhouse
he called Sherwood a vile name. 1t
was then that Magee struck the um-
pire.
However, Manager Bresnahan of
st. Louis was right on the spot, and I
will take his word for what happened
between the two men,"
