had the ground in which 1t was planted

No tree should be planted over hard
pan or impacted subsoil without first
resorting to blasting. so that the soil
may be made open and porous. Such
blasting not only creates channels, in
creases absorption Of soil moisture and
permits deeper roofing. but 1t also In
duces better growth and larger yields.

dynamited tree and the tree planted
in blasted ground being 80 unmistak-
ably in favor of the latter that no ad-

Furthermore. there are 80 many sane

tree planting that even the most skep-
teal could not fail to be convinced.
Obviously when a tree has to use a

Blasting Ground For Tree Planting

Blasting for tree planting Is best done
in the fall. because at this time Of the
year 1t is easier to catch the subsoil
in dry condition. Blasting in the spring
for spring planting, however. is much
better than planting in dug holes, not
withstandlng the fact that the subsoi
is apt to be wet or damp.
II the holes are blasted in advance Of
the time of setting the trees they are

BACK TAX CASE
COMES Up TODAY
Determine Whether Proper
Hearing Was Given
Cramer and Ferret.

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan 19.--Argu-
ments will be heard tomorrow by
Judge T.. G. Spillman in the case OF
the state Of Oklahoma cN rel, Charles
W est and c. II. Pittman against j. 7.
Kramer treasurer of Tulsa county
Upon the ultimate outcome of the
suit depends the question OF whether
or not millions of dollars in oil prop
erty will be subject TO the payment of
back taxes. Judge Spillmau, who was
formerly assistant attorney general
has been designated by the supreme
court as referee to take evidence in
the case and to report to the court
on February 2.
The sole question involved In the
hearing before the referee Is whether
County Treasurer Kramer gave the
state and the tax ferret the proper
hearing as required by law before he
took action refusing to place on the
tax rolls for assemment on certain
property. c. III. Pittman made appn-
cation to have a large amount Of oil
property in Tulsa county placed on
the tax rolls which he claimed had
escaped assessment and Kramer de-
MED the application. Attorney Gen
eral West, representing the state. and
Pittman claimed that the proper hear
ing was not given while attorneys for
Kramer contend that sufficient hear
ing was given.
When the case is reported to the
supreme court by the referee other
issues not referred to Judge Spillman
are to be decided. Attorneys who will
argue the case before Judge Spillman
tomorrow are Stuart Cruce a. Cruce,
attorneys for the plainti1. which rep

~ KI.AHOMA CITY, Jan. 20.-"The
~ oil producer is always on high
tension" said George A. Henshaw Of
the Oklahoma corporation commission
tonight at the second evenings joint
session Of the oil and gas committees
Of the house and senate.
"He1l lend his fellow oil man
money" he continued, "and the very
next day he will rob him of his Oil.
That is the game. It's question or
which one can get the oil first and
that is the reason why 1t Is so hard
to regulate the producers.
lIenshaw spoke at length in favor
Of the conservation bill that has been
introduced by the Tulsa delegation In
the legislature. He referred with sar-
casm to A. A. Richards, the only Tulsa
producer who has appeared before the
committee and who last night eX-
pressed the opinion that the proposed
bill would not hold water in court. He
said Richards pleaded for shutdown

that the commission had never made

duCers did not want and in answer

Ben f. Burwell of oklahoma city
was the only speaker this evening who
opposed the bill. He said that he was
an attorney in Oklahoma for the
Pierce Oil Corporation, but appeared
before the committee as an oil pro-
ducer himself and a representative Of
several producing companies In the
Gushing field.
This bill " he said in referring to
the measure under discussion, con
fers legislative authority upon the
