the city. At other times the pressure
would be sufficient to supply the fur

When a man suggests the purchase of
a commodity in competition with his

Will be plenty for cooking and light
ing. But just as soon as a moderate

hack to the use of gas for heating-and
the shortage is evident"
The supply to Topeka this winter will
come from the same wells that were IN
use last year. No new property has
been adGed, according to reports IN
the natural course of events. this fact
alone would indicate a much smaller

GOOD SOIL FOR AN ORCHARD
Must Be Prepared Sufficiently Deep
and Drained SO That Roots May
Reach Into SubsoiI.

First of all, the soil must be well
drained and prepared sufficiently
deep SO that the roots may reach deep
into the subsoil. Second, the sur
face soil must be cultivated frequent
ly and rotation of cover crops and
catch crops employed so that suf-
ficient amount of plant food will be
made available to promote rapid,
healthy growth rather than forcing
the growth of the trees by the use of
manures and fertilizers rich in nitro
gen. In some rare instances the soil
may be deficient in plant food, and
the intelligent use of mineral plant
foods will prove very beneficial.
1t is when the orchards begin to
produce large crops of fruit that the
demands for plant food must be met
II profitable crops of superior fruit
are secured. At this time the roots
of the trees have taken possession of
practically all of the soil. and have
utilized the larger portion Of the
available plant food so that the ad-
dition of manure or fertilizer is es-
sential.
The function of the soil In furnish
ing the trees with nourishment is an
exceedingly complex one. and there
are certain well-defined laws that
must be kept in mind for improvement
and maintenance of the fertility Of
the soil that is occupied by the trees.
Some orchardists advocate sod mulch,
others depend upon cultivation and
the liberal use of fertilizers and barn
manures. others cover crops and min
eral fertilizers as means of improv-
ing and maintaining the fertility Of
orchard soils.
The fact that no two soils required
the same line Of treatment has caused
a confusion of ideas in the manage
ment of orchard soils.

Mr.. SHULTZ REPOR-
TED UNDER ARREST.

Charles Flake is now a Sher-
lock Holmes. A few days ago,
Chas. Flake, who is in Los An
geles attending a pharmacy
school, while sitting in one of
the parks there, got to thinking
of the Ranchers' Trust and Mr..
Shultz, and it came into his mind
that Mr.. Shultz owned a Stearns
auto, and concluded he would
want, or had bought repairs for
a Stearns from the Stearns gar
rage in Los Angeles. Charles
got busy, went to police head
quarters, told them his thoughts,
and a detective was detailed on
the job. They went to the gar
rage and found Mr.. Shultz had
left his address there, they
went to his place of residence
and found Mr.. Shultz at home.
The detective placed him under
arrest and he will be brought to
Holbrook to stand trial on the
charge of obtaining 81, 700 from
Mr.. Lars Peterson on cattle
mortgage he did not possess.
