CROPS AMONG TREES7
Arguments For and Against Planting
In the Orchard.

Arguments For and Against Planting
In the Orchard.
The large majority of California
fruit growers do not grow marketable
crops between the trees. says recent
bulletin of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. They believe In
clean culture, except where legumi-
nous crops are used to renovate and
fertilize the soil From the standpoint
Of the large commercial orchard and
the well to do proprietor this practice
has much to recommend Il. The plant
ing OF such an orchard Is regarded as
long time investment Little II any
returns are expected for the first few
years. but when the trees approach
maturity and are In full bearing the
anticipated profits are supposed to
compensate the owner for all the lean
years. Any treatment, therefore,
which tends to rob the soil Of its plant
food when the trees are young or to
retard their growth is pretty certain
to lessen the yields and the conse-
quent profits In later years. Professor
Z. ]. wickson. director Of the Califor-
MIA experiment station, says
"All interculmres are loan made
by the trees to the orchardist. The
term may be long and the rate Of In
terest low. but sooner or later the
trees will need restitution to the soil
Of the plant food removed ny inter
cropping"
Notwithstanding all this. the poor
man must needs make the loan or his
children may starve. says the bulletin.
The settler on a small tract set out to
young trees cannot afford. II his means
are limited. TO wait four or Ave years
for the first returns. lie must produce
crops between the rows. and the ques'
ton for him to consider Is how this
can be done with the least possible In
Jury to the trees A plentiful supply
Of water and deep. rich soil are the
essentials OF lntercropplng. In districts
that depend on a meager rainfall Of II
10 20 inches per annum, or where irri
CATION water Is both scarce and costly
the practice becomes OF doubtful value
under any circumstances. In most Of
the fruit districts Of the west water for
irrigation Is stlll reasonably low In
price. and the extra amount required
FOR mtercropplng represents but q
small part ~ the net gains from such
crops.

a Substantial Bone.

So many witnesses had queered his
clients cases by swearing that the
shots they had heard in shooting af-
fair were only thirty seconds apart
that when pressed to tell what they
were doing when each report was
heard, naming actions so dlsslmllar
that 1t must have taken at least ten
minutes to switch from one to the
other, the criminal lawyer swore that
he would maintain consistency above
all things In his latest case. Gustave,
the Swedish janitor, had heard two
shots fired at the injured man, and
the lawyer impressed upon him the
Importance Of swearing that he was
engaged In the same task at each shot.
In the course Of the trial 1t was
brought out that the shots had been
fred a month apart, the first being
merely a little target practice that did
no harm, the second in1lctlng a serl-
Gus wound. But there was no time to
coach Gustave anew. Said the law
yer:
"What were you doing when the
first shot was fired?"
II was sitting in the kitchen gnaw-
ing chicken BONE" said Gustave.
"And what were you doing when the
second shot was fired? BE careful
how you answer"

he. "gnawing that same chicken bone

A Better Voice.

The late Signor Foil used to tell a
good story about then popular song,
"The Farmers Boy" While spending
a holiday in the country In England
he went fishing and was caught In
heavy storm. Harrying to farm
house for refuge, he found that the
yeoman's daughter had been married
that morning and that festivities were
In progress. He was made welcome,
although his Identity was not known.
and In due course he was asked to
contribute song. He gave 'rhe
Farmers Boy" which. 1t goes without
saying, was received with reclamation.
But the farmer himself was restrain
ed in his praise. 1T wur good" he
said. but ye can't sing 1t like our
cowman. I've heard he mile away
against the wind"

CROPS BEATING POPULATION
Production Per Acre More Than
Keeping up with the Consumption


Washington, Jan. 6.-The ability Of
the agriculture to maintain popu.a-
ton in this country is discussed at
length by Victor II. Olmstead, chief
of the bureau Of statistics of the de-
partment of agriculture in his annu-
AL report.
Frequent assertions that the fer
tility OF the soil Is washing into the
streams" says the report, "and that
the productivity of cultivated land Is
diminishing are misleading the pub
lie into the belief that the agriculture
of this country is decadent. and that
there Is life In the old formula that
population must tend to Increase at
a greater rate than subsistence.
The mean production per acre OF
wheat increased In greater degree
than THE normal increase Of popula-
ton In &c states from 1886 to 1895
and from 1896 to 1905, according to
the report and in the case of corn
increased production per acre has ex-
ceeded the normal increase of popu-
lation in ii states, while very nearly
the required increased production
was made by five other states. With
regard to oats and barley and pota-
toes production increased over pop
ulation also.
The ability OF the soil and the ag-
ricultural arts and sciences" con.
cludes the report TO produce crops
at rate OF increase greater than
either the normal rate OF increase OF
population or the normal as temper
arily influenced by immigration has
been demonstrated times innumer
able by the department of agriculture
by the experiment stations and by
the intelligent farmers all over th'
country"

A letter was received in this city by
a young lady formerly of Campbell,

the young lady were greatly worried
over her sudden disappearance, and a
sister of the recipient of the letter
wrote the Meridian girl about the
troubles of the Seals family who lived

ian Wednesday night, ostensibly for
home, but it is learned that they have
not put in an appearance at Campbell

worried over the whereabouts of his
daughter and brother.
Miss Seals is very pretty girl and
had been reared in the lap of luxury.

Street TAX CASE
GETS OFFICERS
into TROUBLE

Jackson. Miss, Feb. 2.-Somebody
is liable to get into a peck of trouble
over the w. S. Rose street tax case at
Biloxi, which was decided by the SUI
preme court last November, and
against whom mandate was issued
by Clerk George Myers and forwarded
to Circuit Clerk Ramsey of Harrison
county, but which document mysteri-
ously disappeared.
This is the case where w. S. Rose,
nov & a:sL,. er of the Biloxi city coun-
Gil, elused to pay street tax. He
was arrested and fined So, which is
double the amount of street tax. This
case was appealed to the circuit court
from the city court, where the fine
was originally imposed. The Harri
son circuit court affirmed the findings
of the police court, and the case was
then carried to the supreme court,
where Rose again lost.
The supreme court handed down its
decision November Z, and three days
later, November 10, Clerk Myers is
sued the mandate of the court, which
was forwarded to the circuit clerk,
but was never served. At the request
of City Attorney Louis Goldman of
Biloxi, Clerk Myers has sent dupli-
cate of the mandate to him, and if a
capias is not served on Mr.Rose by the
time Judge Barrett convenes court in
Harrison county again, it is expected
that he will call some one to beck
about it,
Rose, 1t is said, has refused to pay
the Sc fine and costs of court, the lat
ter amounting to something like 800,
