seeded orchard, which resists blight
much better at the time it bears its
first few crops. This is a most impor-
tant consideration in some sections
with such varieties as Jonathan and
other kinds subject to blight
have been in scores of bearing or
chards the past month which, from
continued clean cultivation. have
been brought into a condition where
the soil is both physically and mechan-
ically undesirable. In some that are
heavy with clay, lack of organic mat
ter has made them cloddy and hard
to work, susceptible to baking after
irrigation or rains, and hard to soak
up when watered. Physically these
soils need cover crops plowed under
to make them hold moisture and to
allow iaeration. Such soils lack what
We may call fibre. A plowed-under
cover crop improves them wonderfully
We also have the soils that are too
sandy to hold moisture we'll. By plow-
ing under cover crops they are given
organic matter cheaply and from their
increased "sponginess" are made to
grow better crop of fruit with the
same amount of water
1t is not necessary to call attention
to the increased fertility added at
low expense by seeding down and
plowing under cover crops, though this
factor is to be considered even in this
age of fertile, Utah soil
Then the saving of the expense of
cultivation by seeding down is one
that readily appeals to the fruit man
at this particular time and the fact
crops may be put into the bearing
orchard that can be made to support
hogs or other livestock as a side line
is a most welcome one TO the grower
There are cases where seeding down
to clover or alfalfa would be out of the
question account of lack of irrigation
water. If the grower has only water
enough to mature a crop of apples it
would be manifestly the wrong thing
to seed down to clover or alfalfa to
rob the fruit of a good part of this in
year when there is a probable short
age of irrigation water.
Each grower must answer this ques-
tion based upon his own conditions.
There are many who have ample wa
ter to grow cover crops whose soils
need them badly and who could yet
this month or early in June make
splendid start with them.-E. P. Tay-
lor. in the Utah Farmer.

A Market In Siberia.

In a single year recently Siberia
received net immigration from Eu-
ropean Russia of 664.000 persons,
The majority of these were peasants,
taking up land in the eastern steppes,
Such figures ought to dispel the
prevalent American notion that ST.
beria is a vast and lonesome com.
pound of snowstorms. political con.
victs, wolves, and frozen mercury.
In reality, Siberia probably has more
cultivable land than Canada. and her
forests are not much short of the
Canadian standard. She has unusual
mineral resources. too. Nothing that
the Russian Government can organ
ize In the way OF settlement COM
pares in efficiency with the spontan-
eous colonization Of the American
West, but according to European
standards the peopling of Siberia is
going on very we'll.
There ought to be a market for
American farm machinery among
those Siberian settlers.

ORCHARD COVER CROPS
CONSIDERED OF VALUE

In my travels through the fruit dis
tricts of Utah this spring l find
that the propaganda to seed down
bearing orchards with some kind of a
cover crop is being needed by many
growers.
There are many growers who would
have seeded down their orchards this
spring but who did not and to these
repetition of some of the advantages
to be secured will be of value. especi-
ally since It is not yet too late, II the
ground in the orchard has been work
ed this spring, to put in a crop of
either clover. alfalfa or field peas. In
fact, the recent splendid week of rain
fall which has been so general over
the state has made seeding in orchards
more favorable.
have seen orchards in this inter
mountain region very successfully
seeded to clover and the other com
mon cover crops in June, and later.
where the irrigation water was suffi-
cient. l do not contend that seeding

seeding. but l see so many orchards
where the cover crop is so very badly
needed that in view of the emergency
which exists and the moist condition
OF the soil after our good rains / be
iieve many fruit men should act and
act quickly in this direction.
1t is natural that some growers
should be very firmly rooted to the
idea of clean cultivation. They may
have been growing a young orchard
and found that a clean and thorough
cultivation was absolutely necessary.
All that was necessary to convince
them of the benefits of clean cultiva-
ton in young orchard was to look
about them and see the orchard men
who were reversing the processes by
starting young trees in an alfalfa patch
or seeding down too soon. or perhaps
allowing young trees 20 bottle with
young trees were lamentably stunted.
But now most of the young orchards
OF Utah have passed through the
years of their infancy when rapid
wood growth was desirable. There
are thousands of acres in hundreds of
orchards In the state which have now
Just reached the age when they should
begin to bear fruit. Their owners have
fondled them and "groomed" and
"sandpapered" them until they have
a right to expect them to begin to
bear fruit.
Fortunately. for the grower. the ap-
Pile orchard which has been cultivated
and forced through the first five years
of its growth will, by seeding down
be made to set better crop of fruit
and fruit grown will be of better
quality. The reason for this is very
plain. Forcing excessive wood growth
on fruit trees is at the expense of the
formation of fruit spurs. While the
trees were young this made no diff
ference and the only thing that had to
be avoided was the forcing of the wood
winter killed from being immature.
When the orchard has once reached
the bearing stage, n crop of clover. al
faifa, vetch. peas, or for that matter
grain, takes away from the feeding
tree roots the moisture they have
been receiving: shorter, firmer
wood growth is made and invariably a
fine setting of fruit is formed for the
following year.
Another important consideration is

with the affair are we'll known.
which makes the story all the more
sensational. A husband and wife

what makes it doubly startling is
the fact that each of them has al
ways had the entire respect Of the
community. AS matter of fact
the bomb exploded at the home of
this couple at the very moment at
which there had arrived at their
house a party of twenty or twenty-
five of our best people. who had
gone there to surprise the couple on
their wedding anniversary. Neither
of the principals expected company.
The astonishment of the visitors
may be imagined when they heard
the husband call his wife down.
He made no bones of it, 1t was
done openly without even hint of
apology to the guests. The shock
ing part of it is the fact that every
one, even the closest friends Of the
couple had no idea but that their
home life was ideal. Nevertheless
and we have the best authority
for the story-when the company
arrived they were met at the door
by the astonished husband. AS
soon as the first greetings were
over he said, my wife is up stairs.

favorable reports from all sections

the city come most enthusiastic re-
ports. 1t is to be understood that
the city does not agree to be out
more than 100000 each year for
this cost, unless you are public
