CORRECT WAY TO BUY TREES
They Should BE Very Carefully In
Bpeeted and Purchased Frem
Reliable NnraerYmen.

Trees should be bought just as paint
inEs are purchased. You should dele
gate yourself or some one who knows
something about what you should plant
to carefully inspect the plants in the
nursery to see that the trees are prop
erly grown and In good form, trim
med up to a height Of six or seven
feet, typical Of the variety, true to
type and free Of insects and fungus
disease. When delivered the trees
should have a well developed, fbrous
root system and be free from mutila-
tion.
In planting trees do not bury more
than six inches deeper than the former
depth at which the tree stood. II So
cured with the ball Of earth frozen to
the roots or secured to them by cam
vas wrapping. dig the hole a foot
wider all around than the diameter Of
the bali or rootssand earth and foot
deeper than its depth. Scatter fertil-
i2er in the bottom Of this pit and min
gle fertilizer with the loose soil with
which you will fill in the hole. Place
the tree properly upright, supporting
It with three braces. Then pack In
the earth gently. Do not pack too
tight, in order to give the roots a
chance to 90 through this rich soil cas-
ily.
II the roots Of your tree are bare
Of earth handle them very carefufiy.
Dig a shallow, wide hole as wide as
the greatest diameter Of the roots,
and then place your tree in the center
of this hole. Drive a substantial stake
firmly into the ground alongside the
tree trunk, being careful not to bruise
or sever any Of the big or small roots
IN doing this. Fasten the tree to stake
with soft cord or bandage Of some
old goods. Then carefully fill in the
hole by hand with well fertilized soil.
Pack it gently with your fingers
around the roots, carefully cutting on
any bruised or broken to a uniform
circle. This insures growth Of the
tree.
See that the soil is sifted into ell
the creyices between the roots and
press down gently until the process is
complete, when you can fill in with
a spade. This preliminary work must
be done carefully, as it means so much
to the tree. Be sure you do not bend
the roots back toward the trunk. Pack
the soil down at the top and water
well.

VESTS PROPOSED LAW.


With a view to ascertaining tAeI
wishes Of thea people concerping the
features Of his proposed new gross
revenue tax law. Attorney General
West is sendiug out the following
letter, a copy Of which was received
by County Clerk Lindsay:
Oklahoma City, May l6, 1912.
Dear Sir
The recent decision Of the supreme
court of the United States in the IN
dian tax case will withdraw some
property from taxation in eastern Ok
laaoma. It's effects will not turn out
as badly as expected.
There can be no effectual reform in
taxation until some beginning is made
in separating the sources Of revenue
for the state from that for the local
communities. The conioint taxation
of everything by both always develops
failure to collect and escape for big
taxpayers and is impossible by the
gross revenue method because Of the
difference in per cent Of leyles in
various municipalities A gross reve.
nue. tax must tax one certain po,
cent
This law | propose is that first step.
1t withdraws from local taxation in.
terstate express, telephone and lele.
graph companies
The Western Union has never paid
taxes in Oklahoma because four in
junction suits not finally decided in
courts of last resort one for each
year, still bind up these taxes So
that this bill will not withdraw any
Western Union taxes ever received.
The taxes paid by the express com
pauies have so far been insignificant
because their physical property IS
such small part Of their total
wealth. This bill will make it siguif.

PROTECTS BASE OF TREES
Box With Slated Sides Has Been
Proved TO Be Of Much Value
How II Is Made.

A device for protecting fruit trees
at their bases, yet allowing them all
the air necessary to healthy growth,
has been invented by an Arkansas
man. Two box-like sections. tapering
toward their tops are hinged together
at one end. The sides consist OF stats,
opening downward. On each OF these
sections is top with a semi-circular
opening in it, and when the box is
fitted around the bottom Of a tree, the
latter rises from the circular opening

THE LAWS DELAY.

There is little wonder that the
people of this country are becoming
disguised with legal methods and
court machinery. Many things are
happening to undermine public con-
fidence. The way the courts handled
the Jack johnson affair in Chicago
shows that judges can do a lot OF
things when they want to. 1t is pop
ular to give Jack the worst of it and
the courts made the most of the OPP
portunity to do things up brown"
when the attention of the nation
was rivited upon them. Jack didn't
stand much show. His bond was
placed at $4,000 and no argument
could induce the judges to reduce it.
The bond is none too high, but had
the case not attracted wide atten-
ton it is reasonable to presume that
Jack would have had much better
treatment considering the fortune
back of him. But it is popular to
give him the limit, as he deserves,
and he is getting it. The courts
found way.
Here is another picture now being
put before the public by the news
papers.
A fireman by the name of Troxel
on the Delaware, Lackawanie IL
Western railroad was killed about
four years ago while in the dis
charge of his duties. One day as he
was throwing a shovel of coal into
the fire place under the boiler of his
engine his train was struck by an
other one. The impact killed him.
His widow and two children We're
left without means of support. The
widow brought suit and when the
case reached the jury it gave her
Judgment for s7,69S. However, the
court of appeals set aside the judg-
ment OF these twelve men good and
true upon mere technically and
the case was sent back for a new
trial because the woman brought
the suit as the mans widow instead

Big Rattlesnake Crop.

The rattlesnake bounty which
Senator Quigley achieved as his

few years ago, has not served to d.
minish the crop of rattlesnakes, for
last year, according to reports to the
state auditor. bounties were paid on
a total of 1883 rattlesnakes. II
the increase continues from year to
year the bounty will prove the basis
of fine industry. Clayton county
paid s5,220.75: and Winneshiek
county. s2,S02. There was paid last
year in gopher bounties $44,137.5S,
which would indicate that nearly q
half million gophers were trapped
aud killed last year. The wolf boun-
ty paid aggregated $9,769.39;
groundhogs, $13,S90.37; wildcats,
"a; and foxes, 1895.

If correctly reported, President
Taft has intimated that he will fill
all vacancies occurring between now
and the fourth of March. This is
certainly the proper thing to do
The democrats will have four years
of it from the time Mr.. Wilson is
inaugurated and when he is defeated
in the fall of 1916 he will no doubt
fill all vacancies that occur before
his retiracy on the following fourth
of March. Some of the federal ap-
pointments in Iowa have been hang
ing fire for many months. The Iowa
congressional delegation agreed up
on recommendations for district
marshals, attorneys and revenue col
lectors last summer. Whether or
not the president will follow these
recommendations remains to be
seen. 1t can be depended upon that
he will not appoint anybody who did
not support the republican ticket
this year.
