II the young man and the young
woman desire to be married. IL there
anything In the legal provision that
first couslns shall not NARY which ap.
plies to their case?
These are few Of the questions
which confronted Deputy CUPID Tracy
Rodwell st the court house yesterday
afternoon. A well educated co:ored
couple. apparently, with the brlde-to-
be's home in Omaha. appeared and
asked for license to wed.
They explained their relationship.
and said they did not wish to marry
II it would be illegal, but the young
man, whose home ID in Kansas, ex-
poets to 60 to Oklahoma in q few days
to begin teaching term of school, and
they very much desired to be NOR
ried before he left, that they might go
to Oklahoma together.
Adversity Of Opinion.
ence Of opinion about the clerks Office.
One faction insisted that the young
people were not nrst cousins. because
their mothers were not full sisters. The
other insisted Just as strongly that the
young people. having their maternal
grandfather in common. were cousins.
regardless Of the fact that the other
three grandparents Of each were diff
ferent.
The section of the Iowa statutes
bearing upon the question merely pro-
vides that first cousins. among others.
must not be issued marriage licenses.
It leaves the question Of fact as 20 " no
are first cousins open for discussion.
The dictionary is also delightfully."-
indefinite. Webster defining cousin
as "the son or daughter Of ones uncle
or aunt" There seems to be morsel
Of justification for the claim that the
couple are cousins in the further def
milton that Gin a wider sense" q cousin
II relative descended by q different
tine from common ancestor"
Up to Attorney General cosson.
What did the other officer do? Well.
what would you do under similar CTR
cumstances? Would you feel justified
In issuing q marriage license dlsra-
garding the provisions Of the law? On
the other hand, would you feel justified
in refusing license to a couple who
had q right to be married?
Mr.. Rodwell cut the Gordian knot
by requesting that the couple wait for
two or three days, which they exc
pressed a willingness to do.
Meanwhile the entire matter was
placed squarely before Attorney Cen
eral George Cosson.

70 this end, the director Of the sta
ton. c. F. Curtiss, has leased an estab-

Pottawattamis county, near Council
Bluffs. for period Of ten years. Here
Prof. s. A. Beach Of the horticulture
section and Prot w. H. Stevenson OF

may be practically advised how to put
their orchards on paying basis. Lau-
RENEE Greene, station experimentalist
win have Immediate charge Of the pro-
ject.
To Give Close Study.
The orchard will be put into proper
condition by pruning and otherwise as
soon as possible. The ground will be
divided into different plots and given
different methods OF cultivation. In the
spring, an organized fight against frost
will be made with the best oil-heater
apparatus. In the spraying season. the
trees will be thoroughly treated for
apple pests. in the fall the fruit will
be harvested and marketed in bust
ness like way.
The study OF the soils OF the orchard
and their response to different treat
ments promises to be one of the most
valuable features of the experiment
Very few orchardists in Iowa realize
the Importance of maintaining the fer
tility of orchard soil. They rob 1t year
after year without putting anything
back into It and then wonder why APP
pies are not successfully grown. For
this experiment the orchard has been
divided into six plots, running across
the rows Of trees, which include a
dozen varieties soithat every plot con-
tains all the varieties.
Trsatmsnt Of Different Plots.
Plot No. Is seeded to clover, which
will be pillow cut and allowed to remain
on the ground as a mulch; every Sec
