away or cut off the major part OF last

at the base or near the older wood
to produce the canes that are to be-

or even two or three, therefore, will be
sufficient for this purpose. It will be
found also that the best fruit will be

very few buds only for fruit bearing,

much more than q quantity Of poor,

ORCHARD
GLEANINGS
TIME TO MULCH STRAWBERRY
Covering Should Be Put on After First
Severe Frosts and Left Until
Late In Spring.

In our northern ATTITUDES the mulch
should be put on after the first severe
frosts and left on until the ground IL
well warmed in the spring. Where
no form of mulch is used, the fbrous
roots are subjected to periods OF a.
ternate freezing and thaWing with the
result that many are destroyed. Tho
most desirable mulch Is one that con-
Trims no weed seeds and does not bury
the plant to the exclusion OF air circu-
lntlon. Wheat and ont straw, swale
hay. coarse. strawy horse manure,
brush and seawecd have been used
more or less, but the first four named
are the most satisfactory.
The mulch should be applied care
fully, else 1t may do more harm than
good. If too thick. the plants arc
smothered and If too thin there Is lit.
tie or no protection, 80 about an inch
is sufficient covering for the plant,
with three or four inches applied be-
tween the rows, varying somewhat
according to material and climatical
conditions.
In the spring the mulch should be
carefully removed from the top OF the
plants and banked beside them. II
entirely removed. the berries are spat'
tered with dirt during rainy periods
and lose much Of their nttractlveness
and sale value. The mulch beside the
plants tends to retard the growth Of
weeds as we'll as TO keep the fruit

For instance, reports come from
various cities that prices Of veg
etables and perishable fruits have
been exceptionally high, while in
these same localities farmers have
had these same commodities to
spoil on their hands for want Of a
market.
There can be but one reason
for this-collusion between the
retailers. This collision is great
ly aided by the average city
marketing regulations. In most
cities the restrictions placed on
hucksters and peddlers are very
stringent. These restrictions vir-
tually protect the retailers from
all competition, so that the gen
tlemen s agreement is easily
maintained.
In the present emergency it is
question if it would not be the
part of wisdom for all our cities
and towns to entirely abolish ped
oilers licenses, at least so far as
food stuffs are concerned. This
would institute a healthy compe-
tition that would have a very sa-
lutary effect on food prices.

ORDNANCE OFFICERS WANTED

Men to serve as commissioned and
non-commissioned officers and pri-
Yates in the ordnance department of
the United States army are urgently
needed, according to the governments
latest call for volunteers They must
be of draft age Or older, and must
have college training or be "men of
sufficient actual business experience
to enable them to grasp the subject
and be relied upon after completing
the course" No other requirements
are stated in the call.
The University of Oregon at Eu-
gene has been designated as a train
ing station for the course The in
struction of the first section will be-
gin October l.. Plenty of applica-
tons have been received already but
the government now wants new Sec
tions to be started every six weeks
thereafter. Each class will be limited
to fifty men, and these will be ex-
pected to devote their entire time to
the training. The army's need is so
urgent that the students showing the
most aptitude will probably be called
upon before the end of six weeks.
The men will act as shipping clerks,
stores c%lersfi, balance of stores clerks,
ETC., at bases and field depots, and be
responsible for buying, handling and
accounting for munitions and military
equipment. Thousands of lives will
depend upon their accuracy and eff
cheney in getting ammunition and
ordnance to the fighting lines and
the war department demands mel who
"are 100 per cent efficient"
The course at the University of
Oregon will be under charge of c. C..
jeremiah, who has been assigned to
the work by the val department. A
fee of $50 will be charged to meet
the heavy expense of giving it. En-
listment is required at the close of
the course. If the men are called to
duty and are placed in the field, they
will receive the rank Of sergeant,
which carries with it a salary of from
$40 to $50 a month, according to
grade, with a 20 per cent increase in
case of foreign service. All men TAX
ing the course will probably be made
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1917-09-28

sergeants as soon as they 1et into the
field, although the government does
not guarantee this.
The training will include industrial
ana scientific management, the re-
ceipt, handling and shaping of ord
nance material, conversational French,
and perhaps typewriting. The man
who can operate a typewriter will
have an advantage and stand the best
chance of early promotion to CONT
missioned rank.
Director jeremiah m from. the
University of Pennyslvana, where ne
has been connected with a similar
course. He says: "Every man should
be made to realize that the curse is
not given with the view that the aaen
will make money after they enlist. It
is a purely patriotic move and the
men taking the course must sacrifice
something for their country. At the
University of Pennsylvania, we had
in our class merchants, lawyers, man.
ufacturers, brokers etc, men who
were making salaries of anywhere
from $1,000 to $4,000 per year. They
sacrificed home, salary, prospects and
everything else to be of service to
their country, and we shall expect
the same of the students out here.
Application blanks for admission to
the stores course will be furnished on
request. Address c C. Jeremith,

THE DRAFT IN 1875

To John Adams, laboring at Phila-
delphia in behalf of the budding ma
ton, Abigail Adams wrote, September
20, 1776, from B~raintree, Mass, with
reference to the harvests:
"Forty men are now drafted from
this town. More than one-half, from
16 to so, are now in the service .
l hardly think you can be sensible
how much we are thinned in this
province.
IF it is necessary to make any
more drafts upon US the women must
reap the harvests. l am willing to
do my part. l believe I could gather
corn and husk it but l should make
a poor figure at digging potatoes"
That was no child's play draft. Let
the male and female s%quawkers of to-
day think over that. And Abigail Ad-
m a merely one of the thousands
of women who shucked corn-many did
also dig potatoes-in order that we
who came after them might be free.
Let those who think their feet tread
the high place remember Abigail Ad-
ans after ward mistress of the
White House, when they find war
work they consider beneath them.
John Adams, we are told b yhistory
despite the abnegations performed
and the sacrifices made by him and
his for the sake of liberty-was yet
worldly enough to wonder, later
along. whether future generations of
Americans would by understanding
and sympathetic preservation Of the
simple revolutionary ideal prove them
selves worthy of the %sufferings then
endured.-Louisville Times.

REPAIR WORN MACHINERY

The great outcry for farm produc-
ton and the scarcity Of machinery
points to the need of some way to re-
pair a great many implements that
are now useless largely because of
the neglect with which they have been
treated, says the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, which adds
that the machinery manufacturers
and their local sales agents should
help to perform this repair service.
Throughout the country there are
thousands of binders, mowers, and
other farm machines rusting in the
fence corners, and many of these
might be made available for further
valuable service. The manufacturers
of farm machinery are admittedly un-
able to furnish all the new machines
required and are paying for full-page
advertisements to influence govern
mental authorities to insure them
necessary raw materials and trans
portation in competition with the de-
mand for machines of war.
The railroads of the country, ac-
cording to one of the officials, are be-
ing compelled in the present emer-
gency to rescue practically every
scrap locomotive from the old-iron
graveyards and rebuild them for ac-
tive service. A similar plan should
be adopted, says the department, for
the reclamation of this cast-off farm
equipment through the agency of GEN.
trail repair shops where the work could
be done. Many Of the machines
might be made available for further
service with repairs of comparatively
small cost.
Added to the almost sinful careless
less of some farmers there has been
the attitude on the part of farm ma
chinery manufacturers in years past
to favor the abandonment of worn
and disabled machines in order to sell
new ones; but now the time has ar
rived when it is difficult to supply the
market with the necessary new ma
chinery. The department suggests
that representatives of the manufac-
turers, on the one hand, and of the
farmers-such as farm bureau agents
or county agents-on the other hand,
should get together to establish the
necessary farm machinery repair sta
tons in convenient localities.
