MARINE CORPS WEEK
JUNE 10 TO Is.

Washington, d. c., June z, 1917.
Editor Review
Morgan City, La.
Copy Of statement by the Secre-
tary Of the Navy: There are no
better soldiers in the world than
those in the United States Marine
Corps. Familiarly known as "Soldi-
ers Of the Sea" they have won their
place by their splendid bearing
courage and bravery. Always among
the first and often the first to land
whenever the country needs trained
armed men they have borne them
selves in such = manner as to win
, omplete admiration and fullest
confidence Of the American people.
Service in the Marine Corps is a
badge Of honor, and promotion in
the Corps can be attained only by
merit. In no other military service
is promotion more certain to a man
who demonstrates his capacity.
June 10 to June Is has been de-
signated by the Marine Corps re.
cruiting service as Marine Corps
Week." and . special effort will b.
made during those days to add four
thousand recruits to the Marine
Co,rs, the number desired to bring
the CorIs up to the strength lately
authorized by Congress. Young men
with real American stuff ready to
serve in all parts Of the world on
land and sea will find in it place
where they can serve their country
in a way to win its gratitude with
the opportunity Of. winning distinc-.
ton for themselves.
(Signed) Josephus Daniels:
I bespeak your generous CO.
opertion and support by patriotic
organizations business houses and
influential citizen1 in making sue
cessful this extra ordinary recruit
ing effort. ~ ~
George Barnett,
Major General Commandant, U.
S. Marine Corps.

ORCHARD PRUNED IN WINTER
No Difference In Growth and Maturity
Seen Where Work Done Between
November and May.

Fruit growers do not need to wait
until spring to prune their orchards,
says W. g. Brierley of the division of
horticulture at University farm. Re
suits at University farm show little or
no difference In the growth and matur-
lty Of the wood where pruning has been
done any time between November and
Nay.
II the usual care IL taken to make
the cuts close to the main trunk or
branches no stubs will be left to die
and decay. though the covering Of
wounds with q white lead and oil paint
or with common grating wax warmed
to the consistency Of cold m0lasses
will give added protection.
Moderate pruning IL better than
heavy cutting.

fertilizer FOR AN ORCHARD
Question Il Deserving Of Careful Con-
sjderation Especially Where Thin
Soils Are Met.

The question of fertilizing deserves
careful consideration, particularly, It
the orchards are on thin soils. Stable
manure Is usually out Of the question
as the manure made from the work
ing stock on the average fruit farm
does not go far even when applied
only in small quantities about each
tree.
Usually the cost of stock-yard or
stable manure shipped by rail is pro-
hibitive by the time freight and cost
of hauling from the railroad are added
to the original cost.
Feeding cattle during the winter is
not satisfactory when the 0rchardist
has all his feed to buy. Cover crops
help out greatly, but do not afford suf-
6cient plant food for bearing peach
or apple orchard.

This is the summons given three
times each week to the men OF the

recreation on the immense athletic
field provided for them by the Navy
League. BY the hundreds, on every
battleship and cruiser, the youthful
white uniformed Jackies come rush

liberty inspection.
Two long white lines form on
deck and every man stands rigidly at

USE MUCH ACID PHOSPHATE
Little Danger Of Putting Too Much Of
Material Around Fruit Trees
Learn by Trial.

There IL but little danger Of using
too much Of acid phosphate around
fruit trees, except that It may be
wasted IL used too freely; but nitrate
Vt soda may not only be wasted If
more is applied than the trees need,
but It may induce sappy growth
that does not ripen and which will in
jure the color Of the fruit as well.
One must learn BY trial how much
nitrate is needed by the trees, but
there is no good rule to determine the
quantity Of acid phosphate and potash
required.

The disease has spread | even as far as triple plays and 50 far | Tn this the second season of the mar | ger circuit, two of the three ply kill ! lngs have already been turned in as against none last year. Through Tues days games no less than 230 double killings had been turned by the eight Eastern league clubs, Q number nearly twice the returns of last sea- son at this stage. One answer is that the merger leaguers are getting more men on bases than last year but are not pushing them around or running 1916. Hardly day goes by but what half a dozen of the two-ply retire ments are recorded and the number has run as high as a dozen in a single day.
 As benefits a pacesetting club. the New Haven Murlins have edge in com piling the greatest number of double plays, no less than 37 of these things being credited to the Murphy troupe. Bridgeport is a close second with 35. tied with 30 each. Worcester and Portland bring up the rear with only 23 each, this being due in a measure to the unsettled situation in the in- fields of these two clubs.
 When it comes to a matter of start ing double plays, Martin of Bridge port is the leader. having inaugurated TO less than II. Schreiber of Law
 
 with 10 for his total while Ball of New Haven has eight. Dowd of New Lon don, Mahoney of Portland Trieste of Bridgeport and Hinchman of Law renee are the best middlemen in the business, although Barney Bradshaw of the Ponies in the short time he has been with the Ponies has proven a mighty active workman. The quart ct of miGdIemen leading the league have been intermediates in seven tWo-DlV killings each
 First basemen naturally have the edge in completing double plays and Durgin Of Springfield and Moose Mi-- Ter of New Haven have put the fin ishing touches to no less than 23 of them. Deininger of Bridgeport and NeNoville of New London have ac- counted for 22 and 21. respectively. The figures follow:

weeks is critical and every effort is ' being made by the big eagues Co avoid further suspension of remainder of the seasons schedules by other cir- cults. Along with the dispatch that the majors had decided to do every - thing possible to save minor league baseball for this year at least came a report that the Pacific Coast League and the American Association would find it hard to finish their season. Not much credence is given 10 the latter report however, as the heads of both those organizations have given out public statements to the effect that they would go through with their schedule.
 New England. like the rest of the country is being hit hard by .acH of patronage. but so far 9 S could be ascertained all of the professional cir cults in this section will finish the season. The Eastern League will go through with its schedule despite the fact that no less than five of the eight clubs are being operated at ire mendous financial loss. report ti-~~ one or two of the clubs would deaert the league in the event that better support is not given caused quite stir in these parts. although the mag mates gave 1t little serious considera- ton.
