Modra has been with the Polish
forces continuously since his arrival
IN France five months ago. and has
given many notable exhibitions of gal
lantry and fidelity to duty. During the
last days of the hostilIties he served
with the First division in the Vosges,
in charge of hut in a narrow valley
between the first and second line
trenches. From this hut he made trip
after trip, carrying supplies to the men
at the most advanced posts, and was

University Of Tennessee.)
The soil in which young apple trees
are planted ought to be loosened to a
depth Of II TO II inches, thruout an
area to s feet wide This induces a
faster and stronger growth after the
trees are set and at the same time re.
duces thet amount of hand labor in.
volved in planting Digging sufficient
~ large holes with shovel requires
considerable. labor.
Loosening the ground can be accom-.
plished by blowing with an ordinary
turning pillow as deep as possible, and
then following in the same burrows
with SubSoil pillow. A strip about 10
feet wide should be plowed across the
field where the rows will come.
Thoro disking should precede and fol-
low blowing. Finally smooth off the
surface with harrow.
If one has some manure, it Is a good
plan to spread ii on the soil where the
rows will come and work ii into the
soil by disking and blowing In case
one does not have enough at hand to
use this literally, work little into the
ground with a spade close to where
the tree will stand.
Plant the trees just as deep as they
stood in the nursery and tramp the
ground firmly about them. Before
planting, cut the branches back to
spurs so there will be from three to
five buds on each spur Cut off all
bur three TO five branches. These |
should be distributed around the trunk |
OF the tree as uniformally as possible. |
Trim the roots about One-third.
Trees should be planted in rows
nbout 80 10 10 feet apart and from 30
10 40 feet apart in the row.

farmer to feed more steers.
1t may not be practical for the
