WATER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
In Life Of Fruit Tree-Mois-
ture Is Essential.

The most critical time in the life
of young fruit tree is during its first
summer. The root system which, of
necessity, was very badly mutiated
Mt planting is handicapped In Its abil
lty to provide adequate soil moisture
to the growing tree, even when there
Is ample moisture in the soil. The
difficulty is intensified as the mols-
ture ir the soil decreases, until the
point is reached where the tree dries
out and dies. Much of the mortality
found in young orchards is due to the
starvation by drought during the sum-
mer, and may manifest itself before
the end of the summer, or not show
up until after freezing weather occurs.
Then the injury oftentimes is attrlb-
utcd to the winter and Is termed win

Is Uncle Sam Now Penalizing Marriage?

whether the husband is dependent up
on her for support. and whether any
members of her immediate family are
employed by the government, and IL
SO, how much each earns.
Following the issuance of these
questionnaires. Miss Hill states, n
large number of married women have
been dropped from the rolls of the de-
partments, without regard to their
efficiency.
The object of the various depart
ments in dropping married women
from their rolls is plain. They are
compelled to drop those who will suf-
fer least hardship as result. Obvious
ly, the married woman who has an
employed husband is less apt to suffer
from the loss of her job than the sim
gle woman entirely dependent upon
her own resources.
The women recognize this motive
and its practical Justification. They
realize that the bureau chiefs are not
trying to strike n blow at marriage.
But they claim that in effect 1t is a
blow at marriage, and also at the
right of woman to work and be in

ESSENTIALS OF BLACKBERRY
Tremendous Amount Of Humus Re
quired In Soil and Also Much
Available Plant Food.

Blackberrles require tremendous
amount of humus In the soil and also
Il big lot of available plant food. In
sections where the humus quickly
burns out OF the soil or where the
crowns Of the bushes become diseased
1t is best to abandon the patch after
two or three crops have been har-
vested, grub them up and turn the
ground to some other crop. New ber-
ries can be set out on other ground.
Stable manure to the amount Of at
least 20 tons to the acre should be
applied every year. More will do no
harm. Where commercial fertilizers
are used, particularly nitrogen, care
must be used not to apply 1t at the
wrong season MS 1t has IL tendency to
cause an excessive cane growth at the
expense of the crop fruit. And 1t is
best to delay the application of stable
manure until after the berries are bear
ing.

Uncle Sam and Railroads Negotiating

ness of approximately SS00,0OO,OOO to
the government and the settlement of
the claims of the railroads against the
government are under full way be-
tween government officials and the
railway executives. These negotiations
have resulted in progress toward def
mite conclusions.
Railway officials estimate that the
net amount due the railroads from the
government is somewhere between
$575, 100000 and S60O,OOO,00O. They
admit that it Is difficult to make n
definite estimate of the total amount

amount yet due for the period Of gov
eminent control at 1888, 1000 900 and for
the guaranty period of six months af-
ter federal control at S229,OOO,OOO.
Director General Davis estimates
that the claims of the railroads

DWARF APPLE TREES FILL IN
Suitable for orchardist Who Wants
Fruit In Hurry and His Acreage
Is Limited.

Dwarf apples are o. X. for the man
who wants fruit in n hurry. But the
trees are more expensive and more
trees are needed to the acre. The
yield per tree Is less than for standard
trees, but the mere yield Is not so much
reduced MS you might expect.
II dwarf trees are set too low, the
scions will throw out roots, and the
trees will no longer be dwnrfs. You
have to keep these roots cut on.
The best proposition is to use dwarf
trees for filters, to bear before the
standard trees are old enough. The
dwarfs have to be cut out when the
other trees begin to crowd them.
The man with small acreage can
well afford to buy dwarfs.
