CHOOSING THE VARIETIES OF FRUIT
TREES ADAPTED TO CERTAIN SOILS
Prof T. R. Day Gives Sound Advice
as to Methods of Planting, Care,
Pruning, and irrigation. Much
Harm Done by incorrect TiIlage.

In the selection of suitable plot
for an orchard, the kind or kinds of
fruits to he grown. should be con-
sidcrcd. For peaches, apricots.
plumS, cherries, the lighter sandy or
mixed soils undcrlaid with clay or
pclNiou~ -ub-oiI will give the best
results. Plums and apples are best
adapted 10 the heavier mixed and
clay soils. The apple especially is
a deep feeder and therefore requires
soil, Two feet or more in depth to do
well, in fact washed or filed in
soils, where there is "A depth of sew
cral feet to the subsoil, are the very
best for apples. Ii You have Il plot

rock, the hole. should be- blasted be-
fare srllm" the trees. This is uo
advantage when the soils are of sut-
ticicnt depth, and when the ~ubsoiIs
are pcrylOus 10 water.
Having selected your location,
the next thing in order is the pre-
limiuary preparation. If the plot ha~
been under cultivation for a season
or longer, and has had one or more

found necessary to break with a
pillow. be sure TO follow immediately
with a thorough narrowing. If left
for only n few hours the loss of
moisture could not be- overcome, per
haps. for Il whole season. and would
probably lead TO severe losses in
trees. The principles of dry farm

NO RESULTS FROM
INCREASED REWARD
Train Bandits Are Still at
Large-MOre Officers
Arrive

Although an additional $1,000 mas
been added to the standing reward of
$4,000 for the capture of the trio of
bandits who held and robbed train No
of the Alabama Great Southern at
Trussville last Thursday night by Of
ficials of the Queen and Crescent rail-
road. the bandits still remain at large.
The local detective department now ad-
mits its inability to find any trace as
to the probable whereabouts of the rob-
bers
There were no developments yester-
day as far as capturing the train ban-
dts was Concerned. Throughout the
day railroad special agents from other
southern points arrived in Birmingham.
until it is estimated that there are full
ly 80 railway detectives and postal in
spectors now in Birmingham searching
for a possible clue to the men who
held up the train al Trussville
Such activity on the part of the rail
roads and the postal authorities Is re-
garded as conclusive proof that the
bandits made one of the richest hauls
i'm the recent train robbing. 1t was In
timated that the pouch containing The
money shipment from the federal
treasury to the subtreasury in New Or
leans contained quarter of n million.
The local authorities also state that
they have no clue as to the bandits
who robbed the mail car at Boyles Sat

active on this case.

HIS APPLICATION
Petition Asking Appoint
ment As Chief of Police
Also Presented

petition was filed with the city
commission yesterday in behalf of Mai.
I. S. Dorrance for the office of chief
OF police. IL was signed by several
hundred well known citizens, business
men, professional men and people of ali
classes.
There were two petitions, one signed
by Major Dorrance himself formally
stating that he was an applicant for
the position of chief of police. The
ether was an extended petition of sew
erai hundred words, setting out Mr..
Dorrance's qualifications for the job,
his past career and other particulars.
The commissioners declined to make
any comment. 1t was stated there Is
nothing new in the police situation and
that no chief will be named at the
commission meeting today. Major Dor
rance Is now generally believed to be
foremost In the long list OF applicants
for the position.
He is we'll known as A major OF the
Alabama National Guard and his mill
'itsrv training no doubt has made a
good impression upon the commission
crs. The petition Is accompanied by a
