LEeUMEs FOR THE ORCHARD.

In the valley in which the writer's
ranch is located. owing to the dry sum-
mers during which period the clean till
age system Is followed. it is desirable
to SOW leguminous cover crop in the
fall about the time the rainy season
sets in. This not only serves as soil
renovator. but when plowed under in
the spring adds to the soil humus. an
element in which all too many western
orchard soils are lacking. Besides this.
the heavy growth of the legume which
continues through the winter owing to
the mild climate. tends to check the
wash Of the soil by the heavy rains.

August is the best month in all the
year for girdling and killing trees like
the willow This seems to be due to
the fact that the energy Of the root
system seems to be largely spent in
the growth of limb and leaf up to
that time, and if the bark is removed
for a space of a foot or more entirely
around the trunk it sort of leaves the
root system strapped and bankrupt.
If the girdling is done in June or early
July there will be an effort on the
low the point Of girdling from dormant
buds.

Cartoonist Villeneuve makes
no attempt in sketching from
life to in any way caricature the
individual. The facial reproduc-
tons are perfect likenesses of in
dividuals and the bodies are
made to represent what the peo-
pie stand for. This method of
general publicity for communi-
ties and districts has proven to
be unique and a splendid method
of attracting the middle western
err and fasteners attention to
the Gem State. So successful
has it proven that today the paid
circulation of Illustrated Idaho"
is 1000 copies monthly and new
err less than $1,000 copies are
printed each month. Of the to-
tai circulation better than 60 per
cent find it's way into homes east
