WHERE A TREE FEEDS

A tree sends it's roots at least as
far as the branches above ground. 1t
is the newly developed roots that take
up the nourishment and these are at
the ends Of the new roots just as the
leaves are on the new branches. This
means that water or manure to do
the most good must be spread over
a surface reaching out at least as
far from the tree as the overhang Of
the branches. Where the rainfall is
light grass and weeds should be kept
from growing over the roots Of the
tree, as these will get the moisture
first when 1t rains and there may not
be enough TO allow any to pass to the
tree roots. There are few places so
dry that q tree viii not make a good
growth If 1t gets all the moisture that
falls on the ground occupied with its

suit Of an unselfish and Respondent
ideal on the tortured battle fields of
France. America at length has ap-
proved our cause and justified our ac-
ton in the manner unexceptional."
That the United States should have
decided to join the allies in the war
is a tremendous event in the history
of the world said The Melbourne Ar
gus 1T is certainly the most mo-
mentous event of the war since the
fateful days Of August, 1914. 1t is fit
ting that a virile nation like the
United States should decide to fight
in defence of civilization. The United
States will prove strong ally-strong
in influence and resources"
The Sydney Daily Telegraph, vt.lun
had frequently shown impotence with
President Wilson's policy, said:
America at war will devote her CO.
Of the curse of Prusisanism."
The Sydney Sun, an important
evening paper asserted that "the
world may truthfully say of these
American cousins of ours that they
never went to war in spirit of mere
greed nor with tyrannous ideals set
before them. Their history places
them spiritually beside the great
democracies of France and Britain and
opposes them to the German ideals
of military conquest for conquest's
same. Historically America on the
battlefield has been ON the side of the
angels, and once again she fights
with the forces of. freedom and honor
against the darker powers of cruelty
and tyranny with which the earth is
periodically cursed"
THE mere fact that the first peo-
pies voice to be beard speaking for
modern liberty is still in the battle
has heartened up the whole world, =
declares The Sydney Bulletin.

ready are coming in through the med
ical officers reserve corps and there
promises to be no scarcity of trained
medical men for this branch of the
service. General Gorgas is charged
with the responsibility for maintain
ing the health of the fighting men at
the highest possible point of eff1cien-
cy, and he has quite a stable job.
The nurses reserve is maintained
by the American Red Cross, and there
are enrolled in that organization s.
900 nurses. This number will be
largely increased. The enlisted per-
sonnet of the medical department
such as male nurses, hospital stew
ards and acting stewards, are made
up from the ranks of priyates and
consist of six per cent of the entire
enlisted personnel of the army.

SAVE THOSE EVE LAMBS.

Washington, d. c., June 9.-Save
every eve lamb possible for breeding
is the urgent message the departmena
of agriculture is sending TO sheaD
owners. Market for slaughter only
those being absolutely worthless f@9
breeding stock. There Is q strong
demand among farmers for breeding
stock and owners Of eve lambs should
have no trouble finding breeding
market for them through county
agents or the state agricultural coli
leges. Sheep specialists OF the de-
partment believe that although prices
for breeding stock now are high, those
who start production Of wool and mutt
ton on a moderate scale win have no
cause to regret purchasing breeding
stock at present figures.

tising the chautauqua, and incidental
ly closing up the arrangements for

provided with baskets, etc. The base
