ORCHARD COvER-CROPS

A subject of paramount Importance
to all fruit growers of the state of
Idaho Is the maintenance of soil fer
tility. AS a rule many of our soils
are deficient in vegetable matter. This
is particularly true of the desert soils
in the southern part of the state. A
serious mistake many of our mex
perienced growers are making is the
planting of orchard trees directly on
land that has been cleared of it's ma
tive growth. No subsequent treat
ment has been given the soil. On new
ground it will pay in the long run to
grow seem hoed crop for a year or
two, then turn under cover crop
before planting the trees. A loss of
a year in the growth of the trees is
of small Importance as compared with
the proper preparation of the soil.
The trees are to remain there for a
long period of years, hence thorough
preparation is essential.
Continuous cropping with apples
will bring the same disastrous results
to the soil as the continuous growing
of wheat. Statistics show that an ap-
pie crop takes more fertility from the
land than many of our cereal crops.
Clean cultivation in our intense sun.
shine can also be carried to excess.
Continuous clean tillage tends to de-
prive the. soil of it's humus.
The methods of handling CONNER
cial orchards in oar state have chang
ed greatly within the last few years.
Realizing that continual cropping
makes such inroads upon the avail
able supply of plant food, and that
continuous clean tillage is detriment-
|al, the growers are recommending
that some green crop be grown in
the orchard late in the season and
ploughed under early next spring.
Where irrigation is practiced some
growers SOW the crop in early spring
and turn the gree crop under in the
fall. The time for CROWN the seed
for fall crop is at the last cultiva.
ton in August or very early in Sep
TENDER.
The plants used for cover crop pur-
poses may be divided into three
classes, namely; i

made and recovered most Of the stolen
money and other treasure. Certain OF
! the articles which were identified beyond
| doubt were returned to the temples
whence they had been taken, the other
things were sold at public auction, but
| the money remained. Bent on giving
! the natives square deal" he applied
the entire amount to the cleaning up
and rendering sanitary Of the section
around the American concession. This,
as well as his uniform kindness and JUS
tice, endeared him to the hearts OF the
Celestials, so that, when they learned
Of his proposed recall to the United
States they were deeply grieved and de-
cided to petition him to remain and to
rule them forever. Accordingly, the
gorgeous Orientals moved upon the
majors headquarters. bearing nine tre-
mendous ceremonial umbrellas hung
with petitions and declarations Of ap-
probation written on narrow slips of
paper These strange tokens of esteem
may be seen in the new museum at
West Point, to which Major Tilson pre-
sented them.
One Of the much needed improvements
at the school is the strong safe in this
museum, in which the many valuable
presentation swords in the possession of
the academy are kept.
Perhaps the most striking feature OF
the new structure is the success achieved
in combining beauty and dignity without
losing the effect of the simplicity be-
coming in buildings of this description.
The interior equipment is of the best
quality, without, however, the least trace
OF luxury having been allowed to creep
in. This Is as true of the new cavalry
tendent's private office. Serviceability
Is the keynote throughout.
The architecture is Of the ecclesiastic
style, characteristic of the architects
Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson. 1t is based
on English Tudor Gothic, stately, rugged
and massive. The stone OF which they
are built is a gneiss rock, quarried right
on the reservation, an economy of con-
siderable Importance. Its rlch gray tone
is well in harmony with the Hudson
Highlands. where the buildings stand.
The material Of such Of the old buildings
as were demolished was used as far as
possible in the construction Of the new
ones. a notable exception 10 this is the
old chapel, which was carefully taken
down and rebuilt stone for stone, In the

perfect himself in practical logistics dhe
art of moving and supplying armie)
and other parts of military science to
the same extent as a man whose sole
occupation has been the mastery Of
these very branches Of knowledge. This
is one reason why it is pleasant to real
ize that the new West Point can accom-
modate more cadets. 1t is also pleasant
TO know that it is recognized as the best
military academy in the world.
During the Hudson Fulton celebration
the reservation was visited by Rear Ad-
miral Sir Edward Seymour, Of Great
Britain; Gross Admiral Won Roster, of
Germany, and Contre Admiral lie Pord,
of France. These three experts unani-
mously agreed that there was not such
a military school in their respective
countries. Field Marshal General Her
bert Kitchener, Of the British army,
actuated only by the reputation enjoyed
abroad by our institution, recommended
that the Commonwealth of Australia
erect a West Point" He sent Colonel
w T. Bridges, OF the British army, to
collect data for this purpose, and this
officer spent considerable time with the
authorities in charge, gathering infor-
nation on every branch Of instruction
Not long ago General Kitchener in
spected the post in person and said that
h. felt that the half had not been told
him. when he had made his recon-
mendation TO Australia.
The approval of the latest installation
and buildings by so competent a judge
is a splendid vindication of the discern
ment Of our own men, when opinions
might reasonably have been considered
BIASED. 1t means that an already emil
nent establishment is on the road to even
greater distinction: and that looks as If
our Uncle Sam had been spending his
money wisely.
Having thus had a glimpse OF the
plant, let us tale look at the product
1t goes without saying that honor is
the keynote OF the cadets moral train
ing, A man found deficient in character
in any respect is dismissed That is why
the graduates one meets are always
such straightforward. clean-cut chaps.
It takes little experience to recognize the
hallmark of West Point. Physical and
moral courage are essentials, the great
stress placed on the former by the corps
being logically justified by the conten-
ton that war is brutal business, call
ing for brute qualities 10 meet its ext
gencies. Moral courage is Of little use
to the soldier when II is not strong
enough to keep his feet from speedily
carrying him from the scepe.of combat.

he must be proficient in every minute
detail Of the duties of an officer In any
one Of the departments named. IL he is
not, he will not be retained at the acad-
emy. Requirements OF such compre-
hensivc severity make for competent
graduates. This has been proved in
practice.

Weir. its flags, motto. trophies and tab
lets, IL is to serve as a mortuary chapel.
The regular post chapel has been erected
on the hill behind the new academic
building. 1t is a striking edifce in
striking location, dominating the entire
reservation--the one tribute to emotion
preme.
In 1909 Congress passed a law permit

academy when their predecessors have
completed their third year, instead OF
waiting for them to finish their fourth.
which was formerly the rule. This
| brings the authorized strength OF the
cadet corps in 1911 up to $50, as COM
pared to 533 in 1910. Naturally the ac-
commodations are now ample for an
even greater number, so that it Will
| hereafter be possible to increase the
corps in proportion to the national needs.
The additional officers necessary for
supervising and instructing the cadets
will be we'll housed in the various quar-
ters recently constructed for the pur-
pose, and the horses which had 70 be
added for use in the cavalry drill are
stabbed under ideal conditions at the
southern end of the reservation. The
riding hall, which will be completed this
year, will be monumental in its dimen-
sions. The tanbark ring alone will be
565 feet long by 135 feet wide.
The completion Of the riding hall is the
last touch to be put upon the buildings
that crown the Hudson River front.
Even now this splendid group is an in
spring sight from the river. The gray

One If Nations Chief Military SafeSuardI
!2sI Be Pcf on Better Basis Than
Exer Before.

T TP in their oOmmodious new quar-
ters at West Point the officers
of the United States Military
Academy look forward to the coming
year as one OF exceptional import in the
annals Of their famous institution. 1t
will mark an epoch in the growth and
development Of the entire post. for the
training OF the cadets will be carried on
under conditions far superior to those
obtaining heretofore. Many new build
ings, both academic and administrative.
have been completed during 1910 and
more Will be finished in the near future.
II is the contemplation of these added
facilities which brings smiles Of pleasant
anticipation TO the faces of the staff Of
instructors as they look ahead into 1871.
Now il has cost Uncle Sam just about
S1,500,000 to put those beatihc smiles
on the manly countenances Of his mar
tal sons, and, Of course, the public is
wondering il this atruism is war
ranted and If it may cOnscientiously join
in their blithesome contemplation Of the
future.
THE best of prophets Of the future is
the past" wrote Lord Byron, almost a
century ago, and this is the safest guide
TO follow in judging the case in hand.
For most Of the costly construction was.
after all, undertaken with view to
enlarging the cadet corps, so that we
ought 10 know the Importance of the
school and what manner Of men it has
turned out right along before deciding
II we really wanted more. Besides, the
new buildings were not. generally speak
ing, designed with the intention OF
changing the basic principles of the
present system Of training. At the same
time much care and thought have been
expended in bringing the methods OF
instruction up 10 date. Thus, arrange
ments have been made TO coordinate
the teaching OF theoretic and applied
science in accordance with the views Of
the foremost educators Of the Copti-
rent, az well as Of America. other
changes in the courses have also been
made necessary by the ever increasing
demands for the protean knowledge Of
our officers. particularly those stationed
in the Philippines.
The Importance Of having our military
school kept up TO the utmost efficiency
probably will not be doubted by any
one. 1t is not, however always under
stood that such an institution is Of more
critical Importance TO America than 10
any other nation in the world. The rea-
SON is this: We have standing army
Of sixty to seventy thousand men,
This is relatively insignificant, con-
sidering the immense length OF our coast
lire. An attack by any power of the
first class would probably call into ex-
istsnce-almost overnight-a volunteer
army OF about one million men of va
rious degrees Of ignorance regarding
drill and tactics How, then, are we to
handle this horde except by having a
competent corps Of trained officers pre-
pared for this very emergency?
OF course. there will be our national
guard, whose spirit and courage are not
