RIGHT DEPTH FOR PLANTING
Character of Soil and Climate Should
Govern-Roots Get Started IL
Planted in Fall.

The character of the soil and the
climate of a region should no doubt
govern the depth to which the roots
of fruit tree should be SET For most
sections it is generally recommended
that the roots be set little deeper
than they stood in the nursery Very
deep planting has been emphasized in
the prairie states of the northwest,
where there is danger of root injury
by severe winters. Deep planting is
also preferred in the plains where rain
fall is very limited and the ground be-
comes very dry in winter. No doubt
the roots should be set deeper in loose,
sandy soils than in heavier soils. Most
Missouri growers of long experience
advocate setting q little deeper than
the trees stood in the nursery. Many
who have had limited experience set
heir trees much deeper than this,
with the idea that the trees will stand
straighter and flrmer and that the
roots are thus secured against dying
out.
At the University Of Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture shallow planting
has given better results than deep
planting. This point has been tested
repeatedly in different years and the
results of deep and shallow planting
have been observed in many orchards
of the state. The results indicate that
majority Of the trees set In Mis-
souri, are planted too deep. Deep set
roots, especially If spring planted,
start growth slowly. The trees usual
ly sway in the wind until funnel
shaped cavity Is formed in the moist
soil about the base Of the trunk.
Borers enter the trunk below ground
more readily where such a cavity is
formed than In shallow planted trees
around which dust mulch may be re-
tanned in close contact with the base
Of the trunk. Mice find shelter in the
soil cavity about a deep-set tree and
often girdle it. "Root rot" occurs
much more frequently in trees set
deep.
If trees are set in autumn they may
be set an inch or so deeper than they
stood In the nursery. The soil at this
season is aired anc warmed to great
er depth. New root growth starts In
early winter on the lower roots which
become established for early spring
growth. If trees are transplanted in
spring they should be set no deeper
than they stood in the nursery. II
the soil is heavy, spring-set trees
4! should stand a little shallower than
they stood in the nursery. In the
case of spring-set trees, new root
growth starts first Oh the roots near.

United States and every other civil
lied nation on the earth was based
and continued to rest on the belief
in his honesty, belief which he
never weakened by word or deed.
Especially was Theodore Roose-
welt honest in his patriotism, which
was intense in its devotion to the
United States of America. To his
mind, patriotism could not be di-
luted or qualified. l recall wildly
the morning l first heard him as
sert, with his typical emphasis, "a
man who loves another country as
we'll as his own is no better man
than a man who loves other women
as we'll as his wife" The true bear
ing of this utterance can only be
fully grasped by those who knew the
purity of his life and thought. He
admired the virtues of other ma
tons and held some in sincere af-
lection; he realized to the full all
the shortcomings of the United
States; but in his heart reigned the
noble sentiment uttered by Stephen
Decatur: "Our country! In her in
tercqhrse with foreign nations may

formed a circle. Yet in reality all
his greatness was founded on the
completeness, the purity and the
strength Of his honesty-honesty to
God, honesty to man and honesty to
his conscience-to himself. And
prominent in this honesty was one of
its component parts-sncerity. In
decd, SO intense was this honesty
that it often saw honesty in others
in whom it was by no means a shin
ing attribute he was inclined to take
men at their face value, and did not
seem to realize that in the great
group Of supposed friends were some
who capitalized his friendship or
trust for their own personal ag-
grandizement, or who were ready to
stab him in the back to advance
their own political or other personal
interests. The number of such false
friends, however, was very small, es-
pecially in comparison with the aver
age always surrounding men of dis
tinction; for some who cultivated
him with that object in their minds

career did the breath of scandal

to find some scandal with which to

say his magnetism" or personal

may have been his outstanding at

and children, even birds and ami

loyal friends. He won, first, their
faith and then their love. Con

to speak with authority and final

politics as a great mind plays chess,
rather than as a gambler plays

are customary in these times, but l

Roosevelt.

he had the honesty to announce his
change Of mind; yet many critics or
persons who did not know him
charged him with "vacillation" or
"opportunism." He honestly be-

practical operation the principles Of

she always be in the right" The
great American people is composed
Of the peoples of many lands, but
Colonel Roosevelt insisted that each
newcomer must renounce in spirit
and in truth, as we'll as in words, his
allegiance to the land he had left
and must become a real American at
heart; indeed, it seemed that he
could not understand the feeling of
divided allegiance. He preached pa
trlotlsm on every possible occasion,
but he practised it every living
hour; it was part of his religion and
he lived it. Honor and glory and
power, praise and adulation, had
been showered upon Theodore Roose-
welt, yet all these would he have
given for the privilege, as he saw
1t, of fighting on the battlefield for
his country in the great war, even
as he had done in the war with
Spain. The privilege was denied
him, and to his close friend, General
Leonard Wood, yet neither sulked in
his tent like the warrior of old, but
each gave all he had-Colonel Roose-
velt his four sons for deeds and
himself by voice and his mighty pen.
and General Wood his sons and all
his talents and energies in the field
to which he was restricted.

Lored the Crord

In the 1912 campaign, for in
stance, two newspaper men in his
party strolled over to the fair
grounds in Salisbury, Nd, to see
that the press arrangements were
complete for the meeting Colonel
Roosevelt was to address. Fine
said one, who had joined the party
on<the previous night, but the other
merely smiled. "The Colonel" said
tins veteran, first will say, Take

can get close to the platform; then
he'll add, move those tables to one
SIDE, so that every one can hear
me- He is not coming here as a
spectacle for the mob, but to talk to
every man and woman in the crowd
In short time the crowd gathered
and Colonel Roosevelt mounted the
platform and gazed around the
scene. Take down those ropes"
he ordered, so that every one can
get close to the platform" Then:
Move those tables into a corner. so
that every one can hear me-" The
veteran scribe was right; Colonel
Roosevelt had not come as a holiday
spectacle for the throng, but to de-
liver a real message, which he
wished all to hear. 1t was DEM
ocratlc community, but never had a
speaker in that section been favored
with more close attention than this
former Republican, and then Pro-
gressive, leader.
His words and his personality. his
magnetism, held even hostile crowds
to attention. He was not a par]or
speaker, nor ''orator"; his voice was
rasplng and his gestures were force
full rather than graceful: but his
auditors not only listened to every
word but absorbed them in their
minds. In debating important docu-
ments, speeches or editorials, Colonel
Roosevelt frequently paced the floor
and dictated his speech as thouph
he were delivering it to an audience
he was just as emphatic and MAG
netlc while debating as in the deliv-
cry Of his speeches. His speeches
were always the result of much
study and forethought, and in the
rapid change Of conditions it some
tlnes happened to be necessary for
HIM to make additions and changes
up to the very moment of the deI;v-
cry of the speech. He knew his
shortcomings and welcomed sugges-
tons. 1t was my custom to attend
all meetings which he addressed in
New York, to watch him and note
his effect on the audience and later
to tell him wherein he might have
failed to do himself full justice-as
when, after a great meeting at Car
negie Hall, l said the next dav:
You seemed, last night, Colonel
Roosevelt, to show tendency to
turn and address the people OF the
stage and those Sin front missed
some OF your words" To which he
replied, 81 am very much obliged
to you for telling me this; I will be
more careful in the future" Never
was it necessary to repeat. But all
who have seen and especially heard
Colonel Roosevelt have experienced
his magnetism-and what man or
woman in the land has not heard him
or seen him at some time! His very
picture on the SCREEN seems to
carry his personality and invariably
evokes tremendous applause.
