Feeding Fruit Trees Necessary
In Arkansas

It is just as necessary to have
al the elements of plant food
where the fruit trees can get
them as it is to have balanced
ration for the dairy cow, says j.
r. Cooper, horticulturist of the
University OF Arkansas. No
one would expect a dairy COW,
that was forced to forage for
her living. to deliver milk in pay
ing quantities. Neither can a
tree be expected to forage
through a lot of poor soil and de-
liver a bumper crop of fruit.
"There are few favored spots
where the soil is so we'll provided
with the elements of plant food
that no additional fes ding is ne
cessary but the orchard land of
Arkansas was not included in the
lands so blessed" says Mr.. Coo
per. Our land is VIGOROUSLY
short of nitrogen and does not
have an over abundance of phos-
phorous or potassium. We have
a wonderful climate and many
other advantages that other
fruit growing districts do not
have but our trees cannot rough
it" like range cattle. We must
feed them.
Frost is blamed for a far
larger share Of the failure to set
fruit than rightly belongs there
ard a great deal Of what is now
actual frost injury would not be
if the trees were kept vigorous
by proper feeding. The weak
ened poorly nourished buds are
always the first to suffer from
frost. Proper feeding will also
go a long way toward warding
off disease. Black spot or BAG
teriosia of peaches is a negligible
factor when the trees are prop
erly fed. Much of the early
dropping of fruit is due to the
fact that the young growing
fruit has used up all of the avail
able stored up food of the tree
before the roots could gather a
new supply. A tree which is un-
der nourished can always be rec
ognized by its sparse light green
foliage.
There are many factors
which influence the food supply
available to the tree but the one
which we must remedy first is
the absence Of food. Other fac
tors date back to The setting of
the trees. Trees set too close to-
gether, trees set with the roots
all at one side, trees with limbs
all on one side and heavy prun-
ing when the tree is young are
influencing factors in food sup
ply but in too many instances
the cupboard is bare.
"One of the first, if not the
first thing to do to an ailing tree
young or old is to feed it. Give
soil about it a dressing Of barn
yard manure Or commercial fer
tilizer, orSbetter still both. Barn
yard manure is very slow in act
little benefit from it for several
ing and the tree will receive very
weeks. Nitrogen is one of the
most innprtant fertilizing ele-
ments. Much Of the trouble
from lack of fruit setting can be
eliminated by the use of nitro
gen alone in the form of nitrate
of soda. To keep up the vigor
Of the tree however, we should
supply Phosphorus and Potas-

for this county, that the cotton as

pose, would impose a charge sufficient
to pay for the county's part of Mr..
Williamson's salary. 1t was thought
for some time that 20 cents would
be insufficient to bring in the needed
amount. Farmers of the county, at
the organization Of the Cotton Grow
ers' Association, pledged themselves
for the $500 Of the salary for the

ably be relieved to hear that his work

SLAYER OF LWELL
 MAY BE ARRESTED
 SOON IN KENTUCKY
Racing Stable May Have Had Bearing on
 Crime

New York, June 15.-District Attor. ney Swann announced late tonight that several detectives had left here for Lexington, Ky., where they hope to arrest the murderer of Joseph B.. Elwell, wealthy sportsman and whist expert. Elwell was found shot through the head at his home here last Fri day.
 Elwell was driven to his home at 3:45 o'clock in the morning by a man in roadster automobile, Assistant District Attorney Joyce announced he had been informed by new witness in the case today.
 MT Joyce said he had found this new witness this forenoon and that he had accounted for Elwell for another hour and one-half between the time Elwell left the gay party he was with at midnight roof garden show and the time of the finding of his body. According to this witness, whose iden- tity was notrevealed by Mr. Joyce, El- well went from the roof garden to a cabaret where he spent more than an hour.
 MT. Joyce was indignant, he said, that no witnesses had come forward to tell of Elwells appearance at the dance hall, as he said he was well known there and must have been re- cognized by many persons on the floor.
 Detectives who were sent to Ken lucky were ostensibly sent there to interview Lloyd Gentry, chief trainer .of Elwell's horse racing stable. It was letter from Gentry, declaring that ElwelPs horses were well liked in Latonia by everybody "except Kir- by and his gang" which was found in the hands of Elwell Friday morning.
 Gentry, who was said to have agreed to return to New York at once last Friday, was expected here Sunday and his failure to put in an appearance has caused no little comment among detectives working on the mystery, il was announced today. A woman's chemise and silk com bination suit of underwear were found today in the Elwell home. Further information in connection with theil discovery was withheld by the polce.
 Several detectives left thiis morn. ing on an excellent train for Lex ington, K" MT. Swan said. They 1 are looking for the father or tho mother of girl namer Annie, ont of whom we gelieve to be the mar who fired the shot.
 "We got the information from ar excellent source but cannot divulg' the name of the man who gave it tt us.
 "We know that MT Elwell spen ten weeks in Lexington up to Jun' 1, when he left there, and not be cause he wanted to-"
 Mir. Swann gave tins information al he was leaving the Elwell home where he and his assistant, Distric Attorney Joyce, had spent more thai two hours tonight.
 Asked if the girl he named a "Annie" was member of prom iinent family in Lexington, he re piled:
 "So far as we know, she is"

WILSON COULD WIN

 TO, SAYS MARSHALL
Nice-President Declares Re- publicans Not Too We'll
 Pleased
HARDING o. K., BUT HE
 CAN'T VOTE FOR HIM
I've Torn My Hair for Bryan and Parker and Worked for Wilson and Am Through He
 Says

San Francisco, Calf, June 15.-- That the republican leaders are less well-pleased with the nomination of Senator Warren G. Harding, candi- date for the presidency, tonight than they were last Saturday was declar- ed by president Thomas R. Mar shall on his arrival here tonight to attend the democratic national con- vention.
 The vice-president added he was not candidate for the presidency but on the contrary was about to retire from politics. He declared that the republicans were in error if they assumed the election of Senator Harding was foregone conclusion and that President Wilson did not want a third term, but could be nom- mated and elected for one if he did.
 Of Senator Harding's candidacy the vice-president said:
 "The republicans are not so well pleased now as they were Saturday night. Personally, I have high re- gard for Senator Harding. l would do anything for him except vote for him. Te republicans are making the mistake of their lives in thinking of the November election as a fore gone conclusion and of the democrats as disorganized, defeated party. They are going to find us very much alive in November"
 MT. Marshall decried lavish eXpen- ditures of money in connection with presidential campaigns. It was "dis- heartening" he said, adding that he regretted the republicans were not the only guilty ones."
 Of the democratic convention and his own part as delegate in it, the vice-president saaid: &"I am here to promote peace and good will among the democrats at this coming con- vention." He said so far as the con- vention was concerned, "there IS nc Irish question" and of prohibition enforcement he declared: nothing IS so detrimental to the country as the passage of laws and the ignoring of those same laws"
 MT. Marshaall's reference to his retirement was in answer to an in. inquirer's question as to whether he was a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination.
 His answer was:
 "I am an old man who has torr his hair for Bryan, slaved for Park CT. and done his hardest for Will son, and I am about ready to re tire from politics.

BUTLER'S ATTACK IS
 CALLED COWARDLY
Says College President is Seeking to Ingratiate Self With Elements Which Controlled
 Convention

Chicago, June 15.-Major General Leonard Wood, in signed statement tonight characterized as "a vicious and malicious falsehood," declara- tion by Nicholas Murray Butler that a motley group of stock gamblers, oil and mining promoters, munitions mak- CTS and other like persons" backed the generals campaign for the repub- lican presidential nomination.
 General Wood said he regretted to make the statement but that it was necessary to "brand a fakir and to denounce a lie" Declaring that the men who managed his campaign were of Extraordinary high character" the general said that the attack upon them "is infamous" and that Mr. Buffers action was Gan attempt to ingratiate himself with certain elements which exercised determining influence at the convention"
 The statement follows:
 "I have just read the statement is sued in New York by Nicholas Mur- ray Butler to the effect that motley group of stock gamblers and others tried to buy the presidential nomina tion for me, and that the forces who were defeated in their insolent at tempt to buy the nomination repre- sent all that is worst in American business and political life.
 "The statement is vicious and ma licious falsehood I would ignore it if it were directed at me alone, but l cannot remain silent when my loyal friends and supporters are villified. "Colonel William Cooper. Proctor, who was chairman of my campaign committee, is man of extraordinary high character, known throughout the i length and breadth of the land for his absolute integrity. His associates were men of like character, most of whom responded to their country's s call during the war. They typify a group of progressive Americans.
 "This action of Nicholas Murray Butler is an attempt to ingratiate himself with. certain clements which exercised a determining influence at the convention and possibly to explain his own political weakness. "It is a self seeking cowardly at tack, made under the cloak of an al- legged public service, which was never | intended or rendered.
 q regret to make a statement of this kind, but it is necessary in this instance to brand a fakir to denounce lie."
