After a most careful consideration
of the several invitations received
from different sections of the coun.

August 16, II and IS, 1916.
1t appears that the Business League
has selected a most opportune time
to hold their meeting in Kansas City,
for as Mr.. Fortune j. Weaver, presi-
dent of the Kansas City League says:
These dates fit in just right, as the
Masons will hold their Grand Lodge
in Kansas City during the second
week of August and the National Med

These two meetings in addition to
the Business League session, will of
fer best possible inducements to the
railroads to make special reduced
fares and will afford delegates to the
Grand Lodge and the Medical Asso-
citation an opportunity to attend some
of the sessions of the Business League.
The executive committee has also
decided that it will be most appro-
pirate and fitting that the first nights
august 16) session be devoted to
memorial exercises in honor of DR..
Booker T. Washington, founder and
first president of the National Negro
Business League.

FARMERS FOREST NURSERIES

One Branch Of Agriculture That Could
ee Followed With Profit. =:
Forest trees for starting forest plant
ngs and for. filing in holes in the
wood lot can be grown by farmers at
little expense. Large trees are not
needed for this purpose. One-year-old
seedlings Of broad leaf trees are large
enough to set out.
Every farm should have a forest nur-
sery for the production of forest trees.
The vegetable garden will make an
ideal location for row or two. The
trees will thus receive the necessary
care and attention the first year.
Recommendations for the planting
and care of forest nursery trees as
made by Professor J. A. Ferguson Of
the Pennsylvania State college show
that the first step in starting the forest
nursery is to collect the seeds in the
fall and keep them over winter for
spring planting Were it not for the
damage by mice and other rodents
seeds could be planted in the fall.
Seeds keep best over winter when
stratified inrmoist sand, and with some
varieties this stratifying is necessary.
Oak seeds, hickory nuts, walnuts, but
ternuts, chestnuts and beechnuts will
not terminate if allowed to dry out
over winter. Freezing will not injure
the seeds; but to prevent drying out
they should be kept in cool place aft
er being stratifed in sand.
Tree seeds which have been naturally
stratified over winter may often be col
lected from the ground in the spring.
and such will start to grow at once.
Oak, tulip, maple, catalpa, black locust.
pine, spruce, hemlock and other ever
green's may be preserved over winter
by hanging them in bags where they
will be dry and exposed to the outside
air. Seed should be planted as early
as possible in the spring.

Grapes and pears are his specially.

arms as there are wires on the fence.
After each fruiting season the laterals
are cut back to spurs Of one and two
buds each.
This fence is cultivated regularly on
both the inner and road side and fer
tilted equally with the vineyards. It
is very slightly In the early summer
with it's trim, tender young growth
and freshly stirred soil, and of course
its appearance is very attractive when
Its load Of purple fruit is ripe. Then it
serves to shield the inner vineyard
from marauders. Even so, this kindly
defensive does not suffer to any extent
from hungry wayfarers, though hordes
Of summer pleasure seekers are within
a mile and a half of the farm.

DARING GERMAN Filler,
IMMELMANN, KILLED
Had Brought Down Many Allied
Machines on the Western
Front.

LONDON. June 81, 5:35 p.m.-Lieut.
mmelmann, the famous German avn
ator, is reported to have been killed.
Lieut.. Immelmann had destroyed
more aeroplanes of the entente allies
in aerial battles than any other Ger
man aviator except Capt. Boelke, who
was reported to have been killed last
week in an aerial combat with Roger
Ribiere. a French aviator.
According to the German army head
quarters report. zimmerman, up to May
Of this year. had accounted for fifteen
hostile aeroplanes, while Capt. Boelke
was officially credited with bringing
down eighteen. Immelman in March
last was decorated.
Innrnelmans method in vanquishing
his foes had teen described as simple.
but effective. He usually mounted to
a great height and when he observed
a hostile areoplane beneath him would
swoop in one long straight dive. His
plan was to pass In a rapid diagonal just
behind his antagonist. firing contin-
uously as soon as he came within range.
IF his machine gun failed to bring down
his adversary he would make no effort
to pursue the areoplane. but-would con-
tinue his dive until 1t brought him into
the German lines.
