GOOD TILLAGE IN ORCHARDS
II VIII Maintain Sufficient Supply Of
Moisture and VIII Make Plant
Food Available.

(By c. /. LEWIS. Oregon Experiment
Station.)
Some of the reasons for tillage In
an orchard are: To maintain suffi-
cient supply of moisture and to make
available the plant food there is in
the soil, so that trees can obtain this
food; by pulverizing the soil q much
greater feeding area is presented for
the rootlets of the trees; by pulveriz-
ing this soil deeply In the spring of
the year we also get additional root
holding area for the plants. Tillage
also has considerable to do with the
moisture content Of the orchard soils.
BY the spring blowing and narrowing
of the ground we are apt to have less
extremes Of temperature, the ground
Is apt to become warmer, and is placed
In such condition that the roots can
begin their activity and top growth
begin early. For this reason at times
one should not practise too early TIL
lage with fruits that are apt to be
caught by frosts. The stone fruits
especially should not be given too
early tillage.
Tillage in the spring of the year in
creases the water-holding capacity of
the soil. 1t places the soil In such
condition that 1t can catch the spring
rains and hold them for tree growth.
Later on in the summer the frequent
shallow civilizations will check the
rapid evaporation of moisture from the
soil.
Tillage promotes nitriflcation; 1t
places the available element in such
condition that the trees can use 1t. 1t
aids in Fastening decomposition of all
humus and organic matter there is in
the soil and tends to set plant foods
Of all kinds free 80 that they will dis
solve and in that form or solution can
enter the roots of the trees.

ABANDON HIT-AND-RUN PLAY
Teams Of Few Years Ago Were More
Adept at Scientific Play Than
They Are Today.

While the hit-and-run play is often
used in baseball, 1t is really lost art.
Nowadays when the hit-and-run is sue
cessful the batter usually comes
through with a clean-cut safe drive
for one or more bases. which, when
the play is pulled on as It should be,
Is next to impossible.
Hit-and-run requires a scientific bat
ter. His object is to shove the ball
toward the place from which the In
fielder has moved in order to cover
the bag toward which the runner has
started. 1t might be the second base
man or the shortstop. The batter is
supposed to so place the ball that II
an inflelder can reach It at all he has
to cover enough ground to make
double play impossible, and nine
times out OF ten, II he manages to
throw the batter out at first. the play
has succeeded in moving up the base
runner.
There is chance for the ball rolling
safe. but the double play is absolutely
eliminated.
But 1t is but seldom that one sees
the hit-and-run play worked in this
way. Nowadays the batter gives the
runner the sign to start. and then he
takes wallop at the ball. Sometimes
a three-base hit results, on which the
runner could have scored. even II he
had not started in advance. but more
often a high fly goes up. and when
the play is successful it ia because the
batter gets the ball into safe terri
tory.
Conceding that baseball has ad-
vanced in many respects. there is no
doubt that the teams OF a few years
back were more adept at the hit-and-
run game than they are today.

Advantana of Plt sIIo.

The round pit silo has many advan-
tages for the dry-land farmer. Every
one can afford 1t. 1t costs, with &C.
mented walls. about one-tenth as much
as a silo of the same capacity built
above ground. Built without cement,
It costs labor only. 1t does not blow
down. The silage never freezes and 1t
comes warm from the silo. A cutter
costs less because no blower is need
ed, and 1t takes less power to run a
cutter for pit silo because the green
material falls down instead OF having
to be elevated.

MANAGER CHANCE WAS RIGHT
Showed Good Judgment In Refusing
to Send Pinch Hitter In TO Bat
for Frank Schultz.

During a tanning bee by some Of
the Louisville players Scotty Ingerton
related a story regarding Schultz, the
heavy hitting outfelder Of the Cubs.
1T was in 1911 when / was with
the Boston Nationals" said Scotty.
THE Cubs were playing the Doves.
In the early part Of the game with
two men on bases Schultz went up to
the plate to bat, regardless of the fact
that Tinker and Evers argued with
Frank Chance that the home run hit
ter should not be allowed to hit.
Chance, however, ignored Joe and
Johnny and allowed Schultz to bat.
The result was that Schultz knocked
an infield fly for the third out, leaving
the two men on the bases. In the
ninth inning. with the Cubs still trail
ing, 1t was Schulte's turn to bat again.
Tinker and Evers again tried to per-
suade Chance to use another man,
saying that the pitcher, a left-hander,
whom I cannot recall Just now. was
pitching good ball.
Chance said: He hits well enough
for me and I see no need in send
ing any one else to bat" Schultz
sent the ball over the fence, which
gave the Cubs the victory, and after

CANADA'S PLACE
AS 4 PRODUCER
Canada Is Getting a Great Many
Americans.

Three young provinces, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, and Alberta" says q
New York financial journal, have al
ready made Winnipeg one Of the great
est primary wheat markets of the
world. In 1904 they raised 100000
bushels Of wheat. Five years later
they produced 100000 bushels. In
1913 the crop Appropriated 100000
900 bushels. At the present rate OF
progress Canada must soon pass
France and India, and stand third In
the line of wheat producers. Ulti-
mately It will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer OF our
development. Undoubtedly 1t Will
prove the same with Canada. In the
last calendar year our trade with Can
ada amounted to 497 million dollars.
Only with two countries-the United
Kingdom and Germany-is our trade
greater. No vivid Imagination Is
needed to see what the future devel-
opment Of Canada means to the
people of the United States.
The influx of American settlers to
the Canadian prairies is now In full
swing. Within the past few days
over 80 Of those arrived at Bassano
carrying with them effects and capital
to the value of 100000 Fifty settlers
from Oregon arrived in Alberta a few
days ago; while 10 families of settlers
from the state of Colorado arrived at
Calgary on their journey northwards.
The goods and personal effects of this
party filled 20 box cars. or live stock
alone they had ITS horses, Is cows
and 1000 head of poultry. Another
class of-settler has arrived at Peers,
lilo miles west of Edmonton, where no
fewer than 200 German farmers have
taken up land. These are from good
farming families and brought with
them large amount Of capital.
Then in South Western Saskatche-
wan, there are large numbers settling,
these from the United States predomi-
mating, while In the northern and GEN.
trail portions Of all these provinces.
the settlement of new people is going
on steadily. Early in April, Peter
Goertz arrived in Cardiff after q ak
day journey from Mcpherson, Kansas.
Mr.. Goertz who had purchased land
here was in charge Of a party Of SO
people from the same part Of Kansas
and they came through with a special
train which included all their stock
and Implements. The equipment was
all Rock Island cars, and was the first
full immigrant train ever sent out by
that railroad. The farms purchased
by the members of the party are
amongst the best in the district.

Long time ago the Indians who said
that they came out OF the centre of
the earth and followed a crow to the
North SO far that they not only took
about over the snow fields and the cold
plains year after year. told story
about how the first summer they ever
had WAS stolen for them ny old Man

Even To this day tho Iittlo boys ana
girls of the Crow tribe may hear from
the old people about that wonderful
trip of old Man Coyote 10 tho home of

Iii that day old Man Coyote was the
best friend the people had among the
animals OF the earth Whenever the
people wanted anything, they went to
old Man Coyote. and not to the crow
they had followed for Old Man Coy
ote would always think of a way TO
get what the people wanted. while tho
crow would only sit at the top OF n
tall tree and cry out that he was sorry.
So when the people got very tired OF
the long. long winter and the always
falling snow OF the long cold and tho
hard hunting, they told Old Man Coy
otc their troubles.
After he had heard what tho people
had TO say, Old Man Coyote went on

because the old woman would not let
