COVER CROPS FOR ORCHARDS
Any Plant Producing Large Amount
Of Green Material to Be Plowed
Under Can Be Used.

by e. P. SANDERSTEN, Colorado Agri.
cultural College)
What crop to use in orchards can
best be determined by local conditions
and character of soil. In other words,
the choice of plants is a local prob
lem. Any crop that will produce
large amount of green material to be
plowed under can be used Oats soWn
early In the spring will form a heavy
mat Of heritage and should be ploWed
under when in milk Red clover is all.
other excellent crop, but In this case
the clover crop should remain in the
orchard for two years. The first crop
CT clover should be cut and left on the
ground, while the second crop should
be plowed under when In blossom.
The fruit growers should bear in mind
that the orchard is not a hay field and
that very little good will result from
the use Of cover crops IL the crop il
cut for hay. Besides, there is danger
from poisoning If the orchard Is
sprayed with arsenical poisons. AL.
falfa Is not adapted to orchards, as II
Is difficult to eradicate and no orchard
should be left permanently in sod.
The question is sometimes asked:
Why cannot weeds be used as cover
crops? The objection to weeds Is
mostly from the fact that they do not
mature at the same time and in order
to get the best results they have to
be cut too early, and even then some
species of plants will have already
matured their seeds, which afterwards
may be difficult to eradicate. Field
peas is another excellent crop for the
orchard. The point that the writer
wishes to emphasize is that the use
OF cover crop is not primarily to in
crease the fertility of the land. but to
add vegetable matter.

II pressing need for money was

could raise big crops.
During harvest the sun does not
shine alike upon the industrious man
and his lazy neighbor.
II you can eat watermelon without
distress to yourself, then summer Is
the time for your delight.
It takes a lot of praise to repay the
tired housewife for the big dinner she
has gotten up for the harvest HANDS
The bugs and insects which eat the
crops apparently never have any hoh-
days. They are on the Job all OF the
time.
The terribly long stretch Of time be-
tween breakfast and dinner tests the
endurance of the boy during his first
summers work on the farm.
Sixty million dollars were lost by
the American farmer last year simply
because he did not take steps In time
to prevent the deadly hog cholera.

HEAVY BONDAGE OF CUSTOM
True Freedom viii Be Found to 30
Rare Gem, When Al Things
Are Considered.

Freedom Is a priceless gem-and
a rare one, also; for in spite of the
fact that we live in an age of relig-
ious freedom, freedom of the press.
freedom of speech and comparative
freedom of our mode of living, yet
we are bound in various ways-such
ways that make real freedom rare.
AS a free born race we could dress as
we chose, eat as we chose and
live as we chose, providing we did not
encroach upon the rights of others.
But this we do not do.
We dress as custom and fashion de-
cree-be 1t comfortable or not, and
we are quite careful to follow fash
ions guiding finger though our daily
life and from year to year. And so
we are not free-but bound securely.
What that bondage leads to may be
seen any day on any street where
people pass by.
Then there Is another kind of free
dom that should be highly priced and
sought for and that Is courteous free
dom of manner Many persons live
a rather lonely life simply because
they. never considered graciousness
as worth cultivating. "Gush" and
"splashing over" are objectionable Of
lenses to our conservative world.
And yet there is happy medium
between that and the coldly critical
person little freedom Is helpful
in all walks of lfe-for high or low
as our stations may be. we are of
common clay that must molder in
time into common dust-for after
century or two who could distinguish
dust of prince from dust of pauper?
1t is worth while to bend little
to be bit friendly with the pilgrims
passing along the road of life. For
we need each others aid and we need
a certain sense of freedom in manner
and speech. Frozen faces were never
conducive to happy hearts. unbend

Shield for Wound.

No artificial medium can be applied
TO the surface of wound made In

A large number Of wakes, paints

conclusion of the whole matter may
be summarized in the statement that

FARMERS COMBINE IN RUSSIA
Country Possesses No Fewer Than
$4,000 Cooperative Associations
Societies Loan Money,

Combined effort among the farmers
Of Russia though not much talked
about, has nevertheless reached high
state of efficiency. The country pos
sesses no fewer than $4,000 combina-
tons of farmers, and though the coun-
try is vast, that number Of associa-
tons must go long way towards
covering the local areas.
There are 1880 societies which
lend money between their members;
economic distribution and sale of the
crops and animals raised by associated
farmers. Six hundred societies devote
their efforts toward joint crop produc-
ton, and in these the members are
pledged to pay in" their whole pro-
duction to the society.
The establishment Of $50 collective
grananes, to handle the IS million
bushels Of wheat produced, is an at
tempt to enable Russia to compete
with our Canadian elevators and may
lead to the establishing of grades, a
boon that Russia has not hitherto ex-
tended to buyers of her produce. Fin
ally, there are $500 creameries into
which dairy farmers deliver daily. 1t
is striking example, and one that
many people would not expect to find
In country such as Russia. All the
organizations mentioned are entirely
apart from the state.
One OF the most notable Of the
many ways by which the Russian gov
eminent helps the farmer Is by ad-
vance on the security Of their stacked
hay or grain, which enables the grow
er to hold crops over the winter.
