addresses which were vacant but a
few hours before registration day,
which indicated that the "hotels" were
opened merely for the purpose of get.

The governor suggested that the
board of election should certify it's
findings to the circuit attorney, In the

Lured BY Chicken Dinner.

Gov. Major spent two days at the
state fair at Sedalia instead of one
as originally planned. Big Thursday
or Governors day, is always incom-
plete without Missouri's executive
present, but an invitation to big
chicken dinner on Wednesday was re-
sponsible for the other day spent
there. Like all native-born Missouri
ians, the governors fondness for
country-cured ham is second only tc
his fondness for fried and baked
chicken.

PLuRls as Filters
tBy Fabian Garcla }

n TATE COLLEGE, n. Ms Jan. "a.
Some Inquiries have been re-
~ ceycd as TO the use of plums as
filters in apple orchards, in place OF
peaches and what are generally
known as shorter lived apple varie'
ties. As a general rule, piums are
not used for this purpose. The fruits
mat are generally planted as filters
are some Of the shorter-llyed varieties
Of apples, sometimes pears, but u.s.
ually peaches. 1t Is found, generally,
Tint those varieties Of apples which
are recommended as filters for apple
orchards DO not seem TO give the same
satisfaction as they do in the eastern
parts OF the United states, for the
reason that they live practically as
long as the permanent varieties. On
the other hand, peaches offer certain
disadvantages as filters for apple or
chards in New Mexico.
a filler IS a tree which Is planted
IN among long-liyed trees, so that 4
may produce fruit and be out Of the
way before II interfercs with the
growth of permanent trees. The
peach produces fruit early, usually
the third year after planting, and IN
this way il is q desirable fruit as q
filler; but on the other hand, on ac-
count Of the nature OF its growth, 4

cases before the peach tree is ready
to come out It has already interfered

quently causing permanent injury TO
It. on the whole, orchardists DO not
seem 10 have the courage to take out
the filters, particularly apples or
peaches, at the time they should be
removed. Plums are comparatively
short-liyed trees, as compared with
the life Of the apple. They do not
grow very large, nor do they spread
out. The plum seems TO be a good
tree for use as q filler in among ap.
pie trees. They begin TO bear earlier
than the apple trees, The important
thing 20 keep in mind is regarding
the marketing Of these plums.
Plum trees are n little more cos
mopolitan as regards their soil re-
quiremcnts than the peaches. If on
1 plum roots they will do well on apple
tree soils. Another advantage that
the plum has over the peach as q
fillor Is that il the proper varieties
are planted, they will need no more
smudglng than viii the apples. IT has
been found ut tho Experiment station
that varieties OF the European grour
are, ON the whole lato bloomors,
many Of them blooming even late,
than the apple itself on the other
hond, varieties OF the japanese grour
bloom exceedingly early; many Of
them even earlier than the Elbert1
