The Stein Lumber Co. mas kept
It's shingle mill running through
all of the high water although
he water has been several feet
deep around the mill. A dixie
tx feet high was built around
the boiler room and a pump in
stalled to pump out the water
which seeped through. This
dixie broke at one time but was
quickly repaired and the water
pumped out and the mill was
running again in a short time.

TO WIN THE WAR

M~ HE burdens of this war
VI should be equitably
placed and it is evident
from Washington news stories
that the administration forces
in congress are striving to draft
a revenue law that will give
justice and satisfaction.
Naturally it is going to be
difficult. There can be no such
thing as a thoroughly equitable
plan, Any scheme adopted
will be subject to criticism. All
that congress can do its to agree
upon the fairest and mosl
workable plan possible and eli
act it.
Meanwhile the country is
justified in paying scant atten-
ton to amendments suggested
by those in the prO-German
camp. La Toilette among
others has placed himself i'll
the light of opposing the war
and of opposing necessary steps
its successful prosecu-
ton. Until he can give distinct
and absolutely uncertain proof
of his Americanism he is en-
titled to no consideration.
Whatever may be the merits
or dement's of this or that re-
venue raising plan there can
be no questioning the fact the |
law should be written by men
who first, last and all the time
are committed heart and soul
20 winning the war. Beware
If pacifists and the dema-
yogues.

A SQUARE DEAL FOR OUR
FIGHTING MEN

~ HE Administration Soldl-
VI ers' Insurance Bill was
drawn up by Judge Jull-
an Mack of Chicago and has
been described as a model of
clear, concise and detailed pro-
vision for all contingencies
growing out of service in the
war. 1t is all of that. as will
appear from a reading of
Judge Mack's exposition in The
Sunday World.
First to be cleared up is the
of life insurance for the
soldier. What the peace-time
hazards to life are is known.
They make the cost of insur-
ance at the average soldiers
age SO a year per 81, 900. and
it is the plan of this bill to
make the soldier bear that cost
rom his monthly pay, and he
,an carry as little as $1,000 or
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-08-24

as much as $4,000 of insur.
ance at this rate. If the soldier
survives the war he can con.
vert this term insurance into a
level-premium policy and still
have the risk carried by the
government without those ex-
cessive charges for high office
salaries and agency expenses
which are more or less the ine-
vitable infliction of private
life insurance.
Just what will be the extra
wartime hazards to the soldi-
er's life cannot be known in
advance. But they are high
enough to put insurance with
private companies beyond his
reach, and these costs will be
borne by the public treasury.
This is the most important
part of what Judge Mack calls
the plan Ito give a square deal
to our fighting men. But be-
yond all this are most liberal
provisions for casualty COM
to the soldier and his
dependents and for the indus
trial reduction and rehabilita-
tion of the wounded-all at the
of the public save only
.he enforced regular allot- /
nents from the soldiers pay,
which also are added to by the I
in case of depend !
.nts.
1t is rightly called a square
leal." In generosity ana
quareness it is beyond all pre-
edent for any government. II

FALLING DOWN

II N some of the principal res

street sprinkling has been
so badly neglected this summer
that the streets are as dusty as
county roads after wheat has
been hauled over them. Ap-
parently the street sprinkler
visits these streets about once
a week. Meanwhile every
passing auto or vehicle raises
a cloud of dust that covers the
neighborhood. The situation
is a reproach to Pendleton and
those in charge of affairs. Ade-
quate steps should be taken to
sprinkle the streets. Where
there's a will there's a way.

PREPARING SEEDED
FOR ALFALFA PLANT
Plant Cultivated Crop Year or
Two Earlier and Keep Soil
Well Conditioned.

(By NJ A. BEESON. Department of Ag-
ronomy, Oklahoma A. and NJ. College,
Stllwater)
In preparing the seeded for alfalfa
you should begin year or two before
you wish to seed by planting a cultl;
Gated crop, keeping the ground we'll
cultivated and free from weeds. Corn
is good crop to precede alfalfa.
The critical period Of alfalfa Is the
first six weeks Of the life Of the plant.
The ground should be plowed early and
deep. 1t should be free from weeds
and as free as possible from weed seed.
It should be well titled. but firm up TO
the surface when seeded. Fall seeding
in September without a nurse crop is
considered the surest method to fol-
low. However, If there is not favor
able season and sufficient moisture In
the fall, you may SOW at corn or cot
Complaining time in the spring. From
II to IS pounds of seed per acre is am
pie If the seed is clean and strong.
When IL is sown with a grain drill
attachment, on well-prepared seeded,
and when sown carefully and not too
deep, from ten to twelve pounds of
seed is quite sufficient. The seed is
small and does not need to be sown
too deep-Just so you get It into the
moist dirt.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1917-10-04

Plant trees but one year old. You
can head them as low as you desire,
and In these days of spraying we must
have low-headed trees, and low heads
are better in many respects. The stems
are soon shaded and protected from
sunscald; they do not blow over so
badly, and in sleet storms in winter
the ground catches the limbs before
they can break. They are so easily
harvested that many large orchardists
are now planting only this kind. The
illustration shows how small a tree
can be planted and how lowly pruned.
The first pruning of the apple should
be done when the tree is one year old.
Cut back to within two or two and
one-lalf feet Of the ground. The young
tree will then throw out small shoots
from the ground up. When these are
two or three inches long, all should be
rubbed off except from five TO six of
those near the top, which are left TO
form the head of the tree. The sec
Ond pruning consists in cutting these
back to about twelve inches. Two year

old trees purchased from the nursery
are usually headed back the first year
and come with these first side shoots.
In such cases, they should be shortened
as above stated. The third year the
new shoots which are left to form the
main head of the tree should be short
tened back TO about 16 inches. At this
time 1t Is also necessary to remove
some of the side shoots in order to
keep the growth from becoming too
thick. Pruning the fourth season is
similar to the third. The shape of the
trees depends largely on the pruning
which is given the first four years, So
the work should be carefully done. AZ
ter the fourth year there is not much
need to shorten back the main
branches unless one has grown much
longer than the rest. In such cases, in
order TO preserve the shape of the tree.
they should be made as nearly even as
possible. All the pruning after this
consists mainly In keeping the tree
thinned out and also dead and inter
fering branches removed.

PRACTICAL PLAN FOR LAYING OUT ORCHARD.

An application of fertilizer often means
the difference between a good crop and
no fruit.
For the first two or three years after
setting the trees, two or three rows of
any of the low-growing crops can be
grown between the rows of trees.
Grain should always be avoided.
LeguminOus cover crops, sown regu-
larly, will take the place of large
amount of the fertilizer necessary for
the orchard. Sow them In September
and turn in early spring.
Pruning carefully every year will
prolong the life and increase the value
of any fruit tree.
The diseases of the trees and fruits
are very numerous. The only method
of controlling them is by spraying
regularly every year.
The best varieties should always be
selected for the orchard. Select them
in such a manner as to provide fruit
the entire year.
