COVER CROPS FOR ORCHARDS.

AS cover crop in the orchard,
hairy vetch has proved ITSELF to be
by far the most satisfactory nitrogen
gathering cover crop that we can use
here in the Northwest Coming up
as it does Immediately after sowing,
and continuing to grow until cold
weather sets in, and in this way
forming a low, dense mat before
winter, which is capable of holding
leaves, trash, etc., and thus prevent
ing washing during the winter, it is
valuable crop in spring it starts
into growth early, and by the last Of
April or first of May, it has produced
from five to twelve tons of green
manure per acre.
The fall or winter injury SO common
in young orchards in some localities
is often in part due to the late growth
of young trees, which causes them to
go into winter with full flow of sap,
and lot of unmatured wood in. the
stems, which is killed by the first
heavy frost in the late fall, or early
winter. This can be readily overcome
by the systematic use of cover crops
which will take up the surplus water
and available plant food late in the
summer and early in the fall, and in
this manner cause the wood and buds
to mature early. The cover crop
should be sown just before the early
fall rains, or following late summer
rains, usually from the middle of
August to the latter part, or early in
September.
The benefits of cover crop in the
orchard are enumerated as follows:
l. 1t directly improves the physical
condition of the soil by the addition
of humus and the loosening up of the
subsoil by root action.
2. 1t prevents hard soils from
cementing and clay soils from pad
ding.
3. 1t makes the soil more moist by
holding the SHOWS and rains until
they have had chance to soak into
the soil.
4. By drying out the soil in spring
it makes early tillage possible.
5. 1t serves as a protection of
tender roots from frost.
6. 1t catches and holds the easily
lost nitrates of which trees are not in
need at that season of the year.
7. Itrenders plant food more avail
able by root action and the decomposi-
ton of humus.
8. By the addition of humus it
makes cultivation and irrigation

State grange concluded it's four days
labor tonight after an unusually
interesting period of work. The
resolution indorsing a commission
form of government in the state pro-
voked the most spirited debate of any
question presented and it passed by
a large majority. The proposed
measure provides for adjustment of
all state officers except governor,
secretary OF state and auditor, and
for the election of three commission
ers from each congressional district
to serve the year around as advisory
to the governor and to take the place
of the legislature as the law-making
body.
A resolution favoring the removal
of the tariff on all farm products, and
raising of revenue by income, inheri
tance tax and increased internal
revenue fund instead was passed
almost unanimously. The attitude of
the grange on this matter may be-
better understood by referring to the
extract from State Master Kegley's an
nual address. The state master took
the position of "free trade for one. free
trade for ALL" Let US stand steadfast
to this and appeal to farmers every
where to join with us and wipe every
tariff privilege off the books now and
forever.
A resolution favoring the removal
of the tariff on all farm products and
the raising of revenue by income,
Inheritance tax and increased inter
nal revenue schedules instead was
passed almost unanimously. Another
resolution advocated the issuance OF
local bonds to be used as basis for
currency issue by the government and
to be legal tender; resolution advo-
eating the adjustment of trial by jury
was defeated by an almost unanimous
vote.
Other resolutions Endorsed the ex-
tension work of the Washington State
college; urged a closer study by
farmers of the monetary system; urged
grange members to maintain non
partizan attitude in politics and ia
vored candidates pledged to publicity
in all public official matters.
Another resolution urged that the
l1nitad States government issue a
daily report of market conditions, as
is now done by the weather bureau.
Statewide CO. cooperation in buying
and marketing and a boycott on all
newspapers carrying advertisements
of whisky, tobacco and drugs were
favored
The legislative committee was
authorized to institute a searching
investigation of the record OF all
members of the last legislature on
questions touching the interests OF
farms and report to the next state
grange and to submit the statewide
prohibition to voters of the state.
The committee on agriculture in
dorsed the plan to bring 2. g. Holden
to the Inland Empire to demonstrate
growing crops. Physical valuations
of the property of all railways and
other common carriers was advocated.
