the soil settled by at least one

Make the ridge as low as the
drainage Of your soil will permit.
On we'll drained soil the plants

nearly on the level.
Be sure and firm the soil above

dry, less so if it is moist. The
depth Of planting depends on the
soil, if the soil is light plant deep.

condition to keep the moisture in
the soil. Always keep your soil

For nine months the divorce suit
of Mrs. Hortense S. Troy against
Robert P. Troy has been on hearing
here before Superior Judge Frank
Murasky. And indications are that

Mrs. Troy is the widow of the late

after Whites death she married Troy,
who was private secretary to her
late husband.
Troy is an attorney, clubman and

estate holdings. He formerly was
secretary of the Democratic State

Not only does Mrs. Troy ask a
divorce on grounds Of cruelty, but
she seeks to recover property valued
at several hundred thousand dollars
which, she declares, Troy fraudulent
ly induced her to deed to him follow
ing the wedding. She asserts he is
insanely jealous.
Mrs. Troy was once prominent in
Southern California social circles
from which she became estranged,
she says, because Of Troy's conduct.
At the present stage of the hear
ing Mrs. Troy is attempting to prove
by handwriting experts that Troy
forged and changed letters written
by her to him which have direct
bearing on the property involved.
