Do Not Use Salt on the Ground

A beginning orchardist wrote to
State Zoologist H. A. Surface, of
the Department of Agriculture,
Harrisburg, saying that his soil is
so dry that he thought of watering
his young apple trees by "taking
two pounds of nitrate of soda and
three pounds Of salt to fifty gallons
OF water" He thought this would
hold the moisture and prove beni-
fetal. Professor Surface sent him
a reply which will be of interest to
many readers. This is as follows:
"It is all right to water your trees
with two ponnds of nitrate of soda
in fifty gallons of water, but by all
means keep out salt. l can not
possibly understand why people
want to use salt on their trees and
in their soil. 1t does not do one
bit of good as fertilizer nor as an
insecticide fungicide. There seems
to be deeply rooted idea through
out this State that salt is beneficial
on plants, when the reverse
is really the truth. Salt does not
hold moisture nor make the ground
hold moisture. 1t draws the mois-
ture to the surface of the ground
and makes it evaporte there, and
makes it all the worse for the tree.
cit would pay better to cultivate
your trees we'll than to water them,
although to water them first with
nitrate of soda in the water, and
then cultivate them would no doubt
be beneficial. When young trees
are frozen, starting to grow or de-
clining, find that spoonful of
nitrate of soda around each, culti-
waited into the soil, is a good thing
and stimulates growth perhaps bet
ter than anything else"

DUSHORE AUTOISTS HURT
Four Men Injured When Geo.
Deegan's Car Struck
Telegraph Pole

While Offering to aid disabled
automobile on the Towanda road
Sunday afternoon, George t. De-
egan, leading grocer of that place,
ditched his own car, and three COM
panions as we'll as himself, were
injured when the car plunged into
a telegraph pole. Mr.. Deegan, who
was driving, said that he was not
going more than six or seven miles
on hour, and when he turned his
head to speak to the man whose car
was disabled, he must have turned
his own car too far towards the side
of the road, and the first thing they
knew they had skidded off into soft
earth, and the radiator and the
front springs of his machine, a REQ
touring car, were smashed by the
impact with the pole.
Mr.. Deegan was hurt about the
head and chest where he struck the
steering wheel, Francis Cunning
ham had thumb dislocated, Jerry
Carmody had a rib broken, and
Arthur Wilcox was generally bruis-
ed about the body All the men
are under medical treatment, and
with the exception of Carmody, no
more serious results are feared.

HUGHESVILLE FAIR
LOSES CASE AGAINST
LYCOMING COUNTY
The Court Holds that Building
a Fence is Not Disemin-
ating Agriculture
Information

Judge Whitehead yesterday hand
ed down decision in the case brought
against the county for the payment
of 500 to the Muncy Valley Farm
ers' Club, the promoters of the
Hughesville fair. The club brought
an action against the county Commis-
Sioners to recover this amount which
they claimed was due them for the
year 1907, according to the act of as
sembly requiring county Commits
siOners to pay to farmers clubs 500
annually to be used by them for the
Disseminated of agricultural knOwl-
edge. The members of the club must
however, subscribe an equal amount
for this purpose. The court found
that while the club did subscribe this
amount of money it was used for i'm
proVements to the fair grounds, more
particularly for the erection of a new
fence, and consequently entered de-
cree in favor of the county. The
action was brought after the COM
missioners refused to pay claim of
5000 which the members of the club
thought was due them in back pay
ments. County Solicitor Gilmore
and w. f. Crawford, counsel for the
club agreed that the money subscrib-
ed by the club members was not used
to spred agricultural knowledge, but
Mr.. Crawford was of the opinion
that the money spent in 1907 was in
keeping with the act and he and So
licitor Gilmore filed their briefs with
the court.

Needless Sacrifice of Life

Much time and space are being
devoted these days to educating the
,ople on the prevention of disease
a the reduction of the death-rates
fir, IN contagious diseases. On
many of these subjects the public
certainal needs to be instructed for
it's own protection. Yet there is to-
day large loss of life that result
not from ignorance, but from care
lessness-not from the carlessness
of some other person, but from the
carelessness of the one who suffers.
Kanas City has recently adopted a (
new ordinance for the control of
travel, not only on wheel but also
on foot. The needless or foolhardy
person who will not profit by the
traffic regulations to protect him
sell, but who stray all over the street,
who crosses in the middle of block,
or who attempts to save time oy
diagonal route instead of by adher-
ing to the beaten path, is to be regu-
latd. Kanas City has even invented
an appropriate name for these indi-
viduals. They are called Jay
walkers" !" They are danger not
only to themselves, but to others,
and this effort on the part of Kansas
city to regulate the pedestrian as
well as the driver and the chauffeur
is step in the right direction, says
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association. The needless lossOf
life through personal carelessness is
hardly reaized. Living condition
and surroundings, especially in large
cities, are becoming more complex
each year. The path of safety lies
in obedience to wise restrictions
AS we learn to be more lawabiding
we shall learn that within the re-
strictions of the law there is safety
andwithout, there is danger.

Carrying Mail by Auto

Four of the eleven r. f. D. mail
carriers out of Wellsboro use auto
mobiles in their work. When
Uncle Samuel is real up to date he
will furnish his mail carriers with
little motor cars at cost, or free
gratis for nothing, and will collect
and deliver the mail in style. A
machine could be built to sell at
about $500, in the quantities the
post Office could handle them, that
would enable mail carriers to cover
their routes in half the time.

up the creek and procured a boat,
but when he reached the spot where
he had seen Mr.. Gross last he found
him at the bottom of the creek but

bv means of a nail driven in board,
but all efforts to revive him were
unsuccessful. After a search the
body of the child was found farther
down the creek.

from Warrensville, but he arrived
too late to help the drowned one.
