orchard may show no proof of thi
belief.
/ So having planted my six acre
of cleared land I went to work, b.
my own labor and by hiring others
to prepare more land for the plow
Brush land we grubbed-ro othel
way. Land covered by young
pine and fir, as well as by decidu-
Gus trees and stumps, we treated
in various ways. We found the
cheapest and most efficient way
was to grub out all small stuff,
that wouldn't pIo7O up, and to pull
all young trees with good stump
puller. In doing this, we EN-
ployed long and rather light log
chain, so long that we could rap
idly throw loops round several trees
and bring them out all at once.
Where trees were too large for
this, we would pull them one by
one. Where still larger trees were
found, too large to pull easily and
economically, two methods were
employed. In one, the roots we're
cleared of earth and cut for about
half way down, then the cable
was attached part way up the tree
and it was then pulled over and
out quite easily. The other meth
cd is to cut off such trees near the
ground, cut them up into wood,
and blast the stumps. This is by
far the best and quickest way to
dispose of sturnps, where the CUES
ton of expense does not have to
be always present. 1t takes more
money to clear land this way, but
far less time. When blasting isl
resorted to, a narrow iron spade
or "spud," made for this purpose
should be employed. With this a
hole large as needed can in short
time be put far under stump, and
the whole of it taken out at once
by good blast of dynamite Hun
dreds, nay thousands, of such
stumps | blew out on this ranch |
alone in the four or five years
spent in clearing. When a large
stump, say two and one-half to four
eet, is to be blasted, there is no
in blowing out the whole
stump. Add cost of powder, time
in blasting, filling deep
lole, and collecting fragments
lown out, and it will be found
much more economical to bore the
lump with stumpauger, blast
ust enough to split the stump
veil and then burn it out with the
efuse on the land in the dry sea-
on of the year, say August and

THE PLANTING OF THE
ORCHARD.
| shall not discuss the different
methods Of planting, for this can be
obtained from any of our bulletins
and other horticultural writings,
but simply tell how planted mine
and why. try where possible to
get well-grown yearlings instead
Of 2-year-olds. The reason for this
is that when you cut them back
on planting, you can make any form
of limbs you may wish, and not
take them as the nurseryman may
plan the branches, with their too
thick methods of planting i'll nur-
sery rows. | prefer the square"
method of planting, as better suit
ed, to my thinking, to our billy
land both in the matter of ease of
cultivation, as we'll as nearness to
one another when the fully eStab-
lished roots are concerned. I
plant at Is feet apart. If one uses
the triangular method the trees
should not be nearer than IS or 40
feet. The only reason | plant at rs
feet, and not 80 or 40, is to fur
nish better protection to the near
ly ripened fruit from the occasion
al very violent winds that visit this
region in August, September and
October. If we had no serious
winds here, IS or 40 feet would
be none too far apart, when we
take into consideration our won
derfully fertile soil, and consequent |
wide spread of branches and roots
as the trees approach maturity.
The holes should be dug large
and deep, SO as to accommodate
the trimmed roots without any
bending or displacement. Put the
pest soil back into the hole before
he tree is set in place, and be sure
hat the earth be shaped to fit the
JUNCTION of roots and stem. In II
most rich soil | always set the tree
lbout two inches deeper than it
grew in the nursery; if the soil is
Inclined to be poorer and drier, ]

WHY l SELECTED THE LAND


In the year 1900 I spent some
time looking for good land and a
good orchard site in the neighbor-
hood of Moscow, in which place |
was then living and engaged m
business. AS my funds were very
limited, I was compelled to con-
slider, first of all, cheapness, while
at the same time I was determined
to buy no land which would not
make me a fine orchard. Outside
of the question of cost the items
which interested nae were:
/. Slope, carrying with it air
drainage.
2. Character of soil.
3. Difficulty of clearing.
In selecting for slope we should
keep in mind such points as, direc-
ton of slope, steepness of slope,
and avoidance of level land, at least
for the greater portion of the orch
ard. An orchard should never be
planted where the slope is too great.
To be a success in this country an
orchard must be cultivated deep
and often throughout the dry sea-
son. If the slope is too great, the
wash of soil and consequent loss
of hunus will be too great, both
under the natural run-off of soil
in the rainy season, as well as dur
ing the occasional heavy rains that
visit this country in late summer.
Avoid heavy south slopes, as the
soil is not so good, neither does the
moisture endure so we'll into the
late summer and early fall. Most
Of our best slopes have undoubted-
ly been formed by the rare but
heavy southwest and west winds of
and September. Then. the
growth of native vegetation is heav
lest on the north and northeast
slopes, and naturally there we find |
he largest proportions Of hunus.
Select therefore, if possible, slopes
bearing gently to the north or
northeast, after these table lands,
hen slopes bearing gently to the
south, and last of all slopes drop
,ing too heavily either to north, to
outh or to west. If the slope is
90 heavily either to the north it is
old and late. If it slopes too
bruptly to southwest, the soil is in
lined to be too thin, too dry, and
90 subject to winds as the apple
5 reaching maturity.
As to soil, it should be deep and
yell drained for apples, though for

executive committee had before it the
question Of having the three morgan
ICED counties represented in the con-
vention. The executive committee re-
fused to recognize them. When this
action was taken by the executive CON-
mittee a delegate from Houston county
and the alleged representatives from
the three unorganized counties with

to organize another convention. and
upon this is based the contest, which
was rejected by both committees, the
national committee and the credentials
committee.
Eighth District.
In the Eighth congressional conven-
tdon a split occurred over the majority
and minority reports of the executive
committee as to the temporary roll.
The Roosevelt followers controlled the
executive committee, but did not have
a majority in the convention, which
adopted the minority report and gave
Taft 1--WE and one-half votes and Roose-
welt two and one-half votes. This re-
suited in the election of the Taft dele
gates, who were seated by both the
national committee and the credentials
committee.
Ninth District.
In the Ninth district the district
committee was called by Mr.. Speaker,
4 member Of the committee, and not by
the chairman. The chairman refused
to convene the committee because he
claimed that all the delegates from
Texas to the national convention must
be elected in the state convention, that
Colonel Lyon. his superior. had thus
directed him. The district committee
was called. Seven members attended
the meeting. The district convention
was called on May Is. Eleven counties
out Of the fifteen responded to the call
and took part in the convention. Three
counties were not represented, and In
one Of these there was no election.

SHEEP FOREMAN IS
 KILLED BY HERDER

Prescott, May 17.-Ysabel Fasio was shot and killed Mon. day by Eduardo Lucero in the mountains about fourteen miles west of Camp Verde. in a dispute that followed over the number of sheep that had deen returned to the camp after the days graz ing.
 After the killing Lucero rode iuto Camp Verde and gave him self up to Deputy Sheriff Ed Mul. holland, and the latter relephon- ed the sheriffs office in this city of the affair. Judge McLane pro- ceeded to the spot to hold an in- quest. and with the jury empa nel- ed found the dead body of Fasio at the spot where he fell. Lucero was examined, and made a state ment to the effect that he was attacked by the dead man with a knife, and in self defense fired one shot from his Marlin rife, which proved fatal. Fasio fell to the ground and expired instant ly, the bullet penetrating his chest on the left side.
 Leading up to the trouble was the loss of tweve head of sheep, which Fasio stated was uncount ed for. Lucero, on the other hand, 7, stated that the number returned tallied with those taken out to graze, when the conflict occurred FasIo was the foreman for Spell mire and Lyons, while Lucero was an employe.
 No eye witnesses were present, and the ntarSst camp was over 300 yards. The country Is very rugged, and it was found irnprac- tical to remove the body of Fasio, so 1t was decided to bury him where he was killed Judge Me Lane returned to the city and brought Lucero with him The latter will have a preliminary examination today.
 Ysabel Fasio has been Tn the employ of Spellmire and Lyons ofthis city for the last eight years and was found by his employers a worthy and faithful empioye in the discharge of his duties.

COMING FARMING SECTION
 OF NORTHERN ARIZONA

What Is destined to become one of the richest farming communi ties in this section of the country and in fact the State of Arizona is located between Winslow and Holbrook in this county, stretch ing far to the north and south. according to Capt. Warren of the Aztec Land & Cattle Co.,, of St. Joseph. The land in this valley is mostly level with a gradual slope, and its fertility has been proven without a doubt by the fields of alfalfa and garden truck that is grown in the vicinity oi Winslow and St Joseph.
 . Thousands and thousands oI acres of land which were used as grazing grounds for the old Hash Knife Outfit" cattle years ago, are now being turned into small farms of 40 acre tracts and will soon be taken up by settlers from all parts of the country
 Most the land III this valley is owned by the Aztec Land & Cat tie Co.,, and St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Co.,, who have been making surveys and

 Captain Warren of the Aztec Land & Cattle Co.,, informs US that they now have numerous wells, which are located one to every 40 acres of land, these wells giving sufficient water to irrlgslte that amount of land. Climatic conditions here are un- surpassed and are far ahead of many sections in this country termed "the western desert" The well-drilling machinery of the Aztec Co.,, IS being constantly kept at work making new wells on every 40 acres of their land and they now have agents out forming a colony with which to populate ana settle th1s section of the county.
 With the bridge to be build over Chevelon, Winslow will have direct good road to th,: heart of this fertile valley and vii without a doubt will be one fo the towns that will be mostly
 
 benefited by these land improve ments.
