Excellent Varieties OF PIurns.

UnGer average conditions, spring il
the best time for planting plum trees.
In exceptional seasons with a favor
able moisture supply, fall planting
may be done with success, providing
the work is done early so that the
trees may become re-establshed be-
fore winter sets IN. Often. however.
the moisture supply in the fall is an
uncertain quantity. and if the ground
is at all dry the tree which has been
recently disturbed is likely to suffer
severely during the winter
The distance apart TO plant depends
somewhat on the variety and also on
the type of soil Generally eighteen
to twenty feet apart gives ample room.
The plum naturally produces a thick,
dense growth, eventually resulting in
an excess OF fruit spurs and a heavily
shaded top. Under such conditions
the fruit is liable to be poorly colored,
and the dense shade tends 10 maintain
a damp atmosphere which encourages
the development of plum fruit rot
Sufficient pruning should be done TO
correct this tendency. Any cross
branches should be removed
The problem OF what varieties to
plant is primarily a local one The
prospective planter will do well to
consult some successful grower of ais
home community and make a careful
study during the fruiting season
The many ways in which plums NAV
be prepared for the home table, and
the distinctive characteristics pos
sessed by some OF the varieties max.
ing them especially well adap pied for
culinary use. makes careful selection

SUPERIOR PLAN FOR
CARING FOR MANURE
Most Good Is Derived From the
Fertilizer When Applied as
Fresh as Possible.

We apply our manure as fresh as
possible Some may advocate we'll
rotted manure, but | believe the most
good is realized when the manure is
applied fresh. Most of our manure is
applied to hilly ground which is a
compact heavy clay
Our cropping rotation is a three year
one of clover, corn. then wheat, and
il is our practice TO apply most OF the
manure on the clover sod that is to
be broken for corn the following
spring, says a writer in Farmers Re
view. When the ground is dry or
frozen we sometimes haul manure in
the spring prior to the blowing of the
sod. But the ground is usually wet in
the spring and il a load is hauled
across it, it puddles and a lot of hard
clods are the result.
Lately we have treated our wheat
ground with top-dressing OF manure
in the fall For this purpose we use
loose, fresh manure from the stables
IL is rich and. having less coarse mat
ter, is easily distributed. When the
wheat is to be sown in plowed ground
We find 1t better to apply the manure
between blowing and seeding In this
way, narrowing thoroughly incorpo.
rates the manure with the soil. One
disadvantage in this is the increased
labor required in drawing the load
across the plowed ground. Another
thing. very coarse manure cannot be
worked up in this way.
We have derived special benefit
from top-dressing the wheat after it is
sown. We have suffered much from
the winters freezing heaving the soil
and exposing the roots of the plants
to the cold A top.dressing offers pro-
lection in this and it acts as much.
aiding in conserving moisture during
dry periods later in the plants growth
A decided benefit from manure thus
applied TO wheat in the fall is that the
Immediately available fertility is APP
propriated by the young plants which
permits them TO obtain a good growth
before winter AS the less readily
available portions become soluble in
the spring. they will be taken up and
utilized by the growing plants. Our

BILLIARD LEAGUE
CANCELS DATES
MANAGEMENT OF PALACE IN
FORMED THAT STRAIN IS
TOO GREAT.

Ottumwa and other cities that have
been witnessing the matches played
by members of the Champion Billiard
Players league, will see no more OF
the games this season. A letter to
Harry Eager, owner of the Palace,
confirms the report to this effect.
Burton l.. Mank, head Of the league,
has written the following to Mr..
Eager:
New York, N. Y. Feb. rs, 1915.
Mr.. Harry Eager,
Ottumwa, II.
Dear Sir:
I am sorry to inform you that the
last game Of the Champion Billiard
Players league that has been sched-
uled for your city has been cancelled
for the fact that the strain on the
players has been too great and their
health has been impaired owing to the
changing conditions to which they
have not been accustomed.
In addition to the players not being
in the best of physical condition to
enable them to play billiards as to the
best of their ability, the business de-
preston throughout the country
caused by the European war mas
caused a decrease in the attendance
which would justify the players IN
not making the final trip around the
circuit.
Kindly notify your customers the
league season will conclude Saturday,
February q, and trust that conditions
will be such that next season 1t Will
prove more profitable.
Respectfully yours,
Champion Billiard Players League

TAKES TEN SESSION
BOUT IN OPINION OF THE
NEWSPAPER EXPERTS.

Hudson, Wis, March 3.-Battling
for thirty minutes like a couple of wild
cats. Mike Gibbons and Eddie Nc
Goorty gave each other pummeling
here Tuesday night, but Gibbons, the
master Of the ten-round game, won
the popular decision because he was
the best boxer and landed oftener than
his Badger foe. 1t was rip-roaring
battle, the tide swinging to and fro,
first one and then the other leading,
but the phantom, always the cool, col.
lected boxer that he is, piled up
enough points to win.
Near the finish there was little to
choose between the two men, for
Eddie seemed to gain strength as the
fight progressed. landing clean and
hard punches. He then spoiled a
rally which might have won him a
draw in the tenth round by walking
into a terrific right cross. If there
was any doubt as to the result up un.
til this time. this one wallop settled
things, made some 5000 bugs happy
and was a fitting ending for one OF
the classiest battles staged IN the
state.
