LIGHT REQUIRED BY TREES
Many Varieties Need Certain Amount
When Seedlings, But Do Not
Thrive When They Arr Older.
lBx NORMAN ROSS /,

tBy NORMAN NJ. ROSS.)
Trees are divided into two classes
by foresters according to the amount
Of light required by them in order to
make healthy growth. These are
Known IS lightde aanders and shade
.earers. In early youth all trees are
more or less shade enduring. that is,
they will grow under the shade Of
other trees. and In fact many varieties
require certain amount Of shade
when seedlings, but cannot live under
the same conditions after they are
few years older. There can be NO
hard and fast line drawn between
these two classes, - the one merses
very gradually into the other In the
group Of trees generally classed ~
shade-bearers. some are more shade
enduring than others. and the same is
the case with the light-demanders
some requiring more light than 9TH
ers. The white and black spruce are
Instances of heavy shade-bearing trees,
that is, they will continue to grow un.

green ash are samples of light-de.
manders. The ash-leaved maple and
elm will bear a fair degree Of shade,
but require plenty Of light for their
best development. AS a rule. light.

PLoW OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Not Yet Found Possible to Suppiant
10 Use With Any Success
Proper Depth to Piow.

tBy L. R. WALDRON, Superintendent
Dickinson Sub-Station. North Dakota.)
The plow is a very ancient instru-
ment Of tillage, but 1t is only quite
recently that it has taken on It's i'm
proved form. The plow was modern
lied less than 100 years ago. Flowing
Is very important for the success of
the crop and it has not been found
possible to supplant its use with any
degree OF success. The proper action
Of the plow is to shear the soil into
series Of thin layers. II the ground
Is too dry, the soil is turned over in
Jumps. II the ground is too wet, the
soil is paclPd together and puddled.
In either case one loses the cultivat.
ing effect Of the blowing, and the soil
Ia often much injured. The pillow 10
perhaps the most efficient tool we
have for the forming Of soil mulch.
The loose layer Of soil formed by
blowing eifectually prevents the rise
Of soil moisture from the deeper lay.
ers. When the soil Is too dry to
plow the soil may be rendered moist
by disking the land, forming a mulch,
and thus causing the upper few inches
Of soil to become moist
There IL much dispute concerning
the proper depth Of blowing and also
the proper time Of blowing. With the
increased depth Of blowing the work
becomes more difficult and expensive
and this fact is responsible largely
for the shallow blowing we see on
every hand. AS rule. blowing is apt
to be too shallow rather than too
deep.

FARMERS PROTEST
MAY SHIFT TARIFF
Democrats Are Expected to Put
Meat and Flour Back in
DutiabIe Class.

Fear Of losing the agricultural vote
has led the Senate Democrats and
the President to beat retreat on the
question of putting meats and flour on
the free list.
This important information with re-
spect to the tariff bill was disclosed to-
day. In some respects 1t is the most
momentous development thus far since
the Senate Democrats began the con-
sideration of the tariff bill.
1t has been decided by the Finance
Committee Democrats to put a duty
on meats and on -four and oats prod
ucts. President Wilson has assented.
The Democratic leaders and the Presi-
dent are fearful that any other course
will win for them the hostility Of the
farmers. which President Taft sue
ceeded in gaining by his reciprocity
policy.
What the dwellers in the cities and
towns who have been expecting the
Democratic Administration to reduce
the cost of living will do about 1t ID
another matter.
When the House decided to put meats
and flour on free list, but leave duties on
live stock and wheat and oats, great
outcry went up from agricultural
sources. 1t was declared this policy
was to protect the trusts. Demand
arose for equalization Of the duties on
the product and on the raw material
Until today II was believed the Sem
ate would equaiize duties by cutting OF
the duties on cattle and other live stock
and on wheat and oats. But from au-
thoritative sources II was learned this
afternoon that another policy would be
on meats and -four.
It has also been decided not to change
the citrus fruit rates as fixed in the
House bill.
