ADOPTING HARRISBURG PLAN

THE Wilkes-Barre Times Leader
urges the adoption in that city
i of what it terms the Harris
burg plan" Of dealing with the
abuse of public generosity which, un-
der the guise Of various charities,
is made to pay constant tribute when
the public has no protection such as
that extended by membership in the
Harrisburg Chamber Of Commerce.
Says the Leader:
The city is honeycombed with so
many enterprises which contem-

in any form that hundreds of indi-
viduals as well as business houses
are being driven to the policy of re-
fusing all overtures for assistance
way of discriminating between
what is worthy and what is with
out basis of actual benefit.
Worthy enterprises are thus being
classed with those that are Of
doubtful purpose and management,
and thus sources OF income for even
the best established philanthropies
are being curtailed. The Times
Leader has to quarrel with projects
that are necessary aids to a com

responsibility for those in unfortu-

belief obtains that supervising the
financing of these by a committee

This society, together with optome-

JUDGE KUNKEIis CANDIDACY


ECAUSE Judge Kunkers candi-
- dacy for the State Supreme Court
has been so we'll received in
Harrisburg and Dauphin county,
where his splendid record on the bench
is naturally best known, his friends
should not lose sight of the fact that
there are other candidates in the field
These other candidates have had more
time to devote to their contests than
Judge Kunkel has had for his. In
deed, so closely has he been tied down
by the steady grind of important court
business that he has had no oppor-
tunity for anything else and all that
has been done in his behalf has been
the result of the efforts of very devot-
ed friends.
Wherever Judge Kunkels qualifica-
tions for the high office to which he
aspires are known, there Judge Kunkel
is strong, but in some of the counties
where his opponents have been most
active there is need Of missionary
work. OF course there seems to be no
question of his nomination by hand
some majority, but in this respect it
should be remembered that the nom
partisan Judiciary law provides that
If any one candidate receives fifty-one
per cent. of all the votes cast at the
primaries his shall be the only name
on the ticket at the general elections.
Dauphin county people who know
Judge Kunkel to be by far the best
equipped man now in the field for the
Supreme Court Judgship should do
their utmost to make his vote so big
at the primaries that the election will
be only q matter of formality in No
vember.

CLOVER CROPS IMPORTANT
GOOD PLAN is TO CEASE cULTI-
WALTON IN JUNE AND
SOW coWPEAs.
BY W. L. Howard, Professor Of Hortl,
culture, College Of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.

Orchard cover crops in Missouri, in
the main, serve four general pur-
poses: First, to save soil moisture;
second, to prevent burning out of the
humus; third, to add fertility, and,
fourth, to prevent washing of the
ground in fall and winter.
In the Ozark region of Missouri
cover crops are usually sown in June
or July, as it has been found that
clean cultivation throughout the sea-
son soon lowers the fertility of the
land. This is because the hot sun
burns up the humus or decayed vege-
table matter that is in the soil. These
same soils are usually greatly bene-
fitted by sowing cowpeas or hairy
vetch, because these are legumlnous
crops and consequently add fertility
to the land. If cowpeas are used they
should be sown in June or early July
if it is desired to have the plants ma
lure and the seeds ripen before frost.
The vetch may be sown in July or
August or even September. If the
land is likely to wash, the entire crop
of peas may be left to rot upon the
ground. If the land is level the peas
may be cut and used for hay. Those
who have tried vetch like it very
much, especially for rolling land. On
account of its creeping habit, the
plants soon all the ground and

keep the soil from washing during the
winter. Summer cover crops, by shad-
ing the ground, ave a great deal OF
moisture that would otherwise be
~evaporated from the soil.
Young orchards should be cult
waited throughout the year, at least
until they come into bearing, in any
part of the state. 1t is a good plan to
cease cultivation in June and SOW
cowpeas. These should be drilled in
and cultivated for best results. This
plan Of soil management may be con-
tinued ever after the trees begin to
bear. However, the soil must not be
too rich in nitrogen. as this will cause
too much wood growth at the expense
of fruiting.
The remedy for failure to fruit IN
der these circumstances is to summer
prune and also to seed the orchard to
clover for from two to four or five
years and then pillow up and cultivate
and follow with peas in summer.
In the northern part of the state it
is not so necessary to have a cover
crop on the ground in the late sum-
mer, but it is more necessary than in
the south to have a crop that will at
least partially cover the ground dur
ing the winter. Rye, wheat and even
oats may be used for winter cover
crops. Vetch is being tried, and this
may prove to be the best of all, as it
is a legume.
Cover crops of all kinds must be
plowed up in early spring. Especially,
no kind of grain crop should be al
lowed to ripen in the orchard.
