 She was pretty. and as she leaned against the counter in the marriage license bureau she carclcssIy stretched a forearm on tbg broad surface while she tapped the wood with her fingers. A one carat diamond flashed in a man her to attract attention, which appar- emily was the purpose sought by the attractive woarer.

 She was not so pretty nor so richly 0tt.veG She also leaned against the counter, while her funce, a large man and apparently entirely capable, filled out an application blank.
 The second woman caught the sound Of the tapping and turned to see the flash of tue gem.
 The first young woman glanced at the face Of the last arrival, took a GcctiuE apNraisemcnt of garments and style and continued to tap. The second young woman indOlently raised her arm, placed it on the counter and be- gan tapping with her fingers. The first young woman turned In surprise. Then she dropped her arm, her lips became a straight line, and she. walked to the desk where her prospective husband was writing.
 The second young woman smiled and also let her arm fall to her side. The third finger of the left hand bore a two carat diamond of purest luster.

root grating so that it is a healthy
well grown tree. Usually a budded
tree is taller than a grated tree, but
one is as good as the other if the in
dividual is well grown.
Distances Apart TO Set the Trees
The soil. the variety, and the Sec
ton of the state all materially aid in
determining the distance at which ap-
pie trees are to be planted. In West
ern Washington and Oregon on rich
deep soil where there is abundance
Of rain, large growing trees like the
Northern Spy require at least IS feet
and should have 40 feet.
In Eastern Washington and Oregon
in sections where the trees do not
grow so large but the question OF
moisture Is paramount, the trees
should be set from 2S feet without fill
lers to 35 feet with filters. While in

Among the Orchards of the Northwest
Timely Subjects o to

low notch in each end. By placing
the middle notch against the tree
stake and driving a stake in each
notch at the end of the planting board
the tree stake can be removed and
the hole dug. Then by placing the
board in position again the center
notch of the board i1ows the exact
location for the trees The tree can
be planted and the board removed and
the tree will align with the rows az
the stake did before it was disturbed.
; The size and depth of the holes de-
pend entirely upon the size of the
roots of the trees. A hole less than IS
inches in diameter makes it difficult
to tramp the soil as firmly as it should
be tramped.
Whether or not it is advisable to
use filters in an orchard depends en-
tirely upon the ability Of the planter
to remove them before they do serious
If not permanent injury to the trees.
Filters never do any damage in an or
chard until they begin to contend
with the permanent trees for food,
moisture, sunlight or space. This be-
ing true, it is possible to grow filters
in an orchard for several years and
do no injury, and at the same time
harvest good crops of fruit that will
help maintain the necessary expenses
Many growers have been able to pay
for their land and all expenses OF
caring for the orchard by means of
the fruit from the filters before the
permanent trees came into full bear
ing.
Any early bearing good commercial
variety of apples would make an ex-
cellent filler for the orchard. Almost
any variety can be used as a filler;
however, it would be of no advantage
to use a tardy or shy bearer as filler.
The varieties that are most commonly
used are the Wagener, Winesap (com-
mon), Wealthy and Mo. Pippin. But
since the Wealthy is an early variety
| in most sections of the state and not
considered first class fruit, it is best
not to use it. The Mo. Pippin, while
good bearer and good shipper, lacks
quality, hence ability to sell we'll.
This leaves only the Wagner and
Winesap as first class commercial ap-
pies that are well adapted to use as
| filters.
| Pears, either on dwarf roots or as
standards, make good filters for apple
orchards, in most parts of the state.
In sections where the peach is a
commercial success it makes an ex-
cellent filler and can be used advan-
tageously in this way. The cherry
should never be used as filler for
the apple orchard since it requires
entirely different methods of cultiva-
tion and irrigation.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-04-30

irrigated sections where the moisture
element is under the control Of the
grower, they may be planted at from
25 feet without filters to 33 feet with
filters.
Planting Plans
There are many planting plans in
use in the state at the present time;
the square and hexagonal plans are
more commonly used than all the rest
together Each of these plans h%
advantages that the other has not and
should be adapted to their special use.
The chief advantages of the square
plan are that when there is more
room between the rows for the grow
ing of cultivated crops and after the
trees are grown up they do not form
canopy over the soil so early as
when planted by the latter plan. Some
growers contend that these openings
or wells formed by the crowns give
healthier trees and more and better
colored fruit than where these do not
| exist in the orchard,
The hexagonal plan gives the great
est number of trees per acre and
equally divides the soil area and air
space among the trees. In our
opinion 1t is far the most satisfactory
planting plan to use for apple or
chards.
Locating Positions of the Trees
After thoroughly preparing the
ground and all is ready for planting
II is best to locate and stake the po-
sitions for the trees. This may be
done in number Of different ways;
however, for the inexperienced plant
er one of the following plans may be
best: For laying out the square and
alternate plans secure No. 100 gauge
galvanized wire long enough to reach
the entire length of the field; have
timer solder small washers on to
this wire at exactly the same dis
tances apart that the trees are to
stand in the rows, Some planters tie
pieces Of rags or wrap with fine wire
and succeed fairly well. but there is
too much danger of these markings
slipping Establish a base line to
work from and stretch the wire where
the first row is to be planted. Set a
stake Is to Is inches long opposite
each washer or marker and move the
wire to the next row, being sure al
ways to stretch it the same each time
thus continuing over the entire field
If the square plan is used this is sim
pie enough; but If the alternate plan
is used have twice as many washers
soldered to the wire and set stakes
at alternate marks for each row, thus
avoiding pulling the wire back and
forth.
In stalking for the hexagonal plar
take three two to two and one-hali
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-04-30

inch wire rings and two pieces of light
wire, securely fasten one end Of each
wire to one of the rings and the other
rings one to each of the free ends of
the wires. When stretched out these
rings must measure from center to
center exactly the same length that
the trees are to stand apart. After
the exact position of the first row is
determined and each tree in the row
is located by stake then by means
of the above described device a man
and two boys can readily locate the
rest of the trees by slipping a ring
Of one wire over the first stake in the
row and the other ring over the sec
ond stake, then by pulling the two
wires taut by the third ring the first
tree of the second row is located and
by changing the rings to the second
and third stakes of the first row the

until the entire field is staked.

venient as marker for locating trees

while Germany says conditions In these
regions are unchanged. Russia still
contends that her troops are vigorous
ly defeating the Turks, but the Otto
