RobbInG the Farmer
 Robbing the farmer has always been profitable pastime with many people. You may remember how Joseph engineered in Egypt for Pharaoh the first great corner in corn; you may also remember in stances in ancient times where wars were waged simply as an excuse to lay waste the crops of the farmer, to be carried off 10 support the lazy and indolent. The farmer is not always able to prevent robbery Of himself, but there is one species of robbery that he can prevent ana with great profit to himself. The robber that does the farmer the most injury and do it openly, too, is the great quantity of unnecessary weeds and grasses that Is allowed 10 grow to maturity in his cultivated crops.
 You can go out in the country now and see fields of cotton and cora, long since laid by. that are becom- ing overrun with weeds and grasses. Can any one estimate the amount of moisture and plant food thess weeds and grasses are robbing the soil of? Think of the home gardens
  then American people like to be robbed.
 Profit in Home Gardens
 A great many people. a large per cent among farmers. look upon the family garden as necessary nuisance that must be tolerated. The farmers attitude towards the garden it, that 1t interferes with his work in the busy season of the year, not withstanding his women and chill dren generally do most of the ga: den work. The United States depart ment of agriculture recognizing this general autipathy to home garden development. have through collabora- ton with several state experiment stations, operated numbers of quar- ter acre home gardens to demon strate Just how valuable small garden is.
 Economical methods were pursued and every vegetable produced used in tho farm family, but charged up at the prevailing wholesale price. have sold for wholesale in local mar kets.
 The results of three-year trials. including 1921, have just been pub lished. The average value of all the quarter acre gardens was $134 per year net, after taking out expense.
 The averge expense was s46.5o per garden.

Tonnibe had reached the canal boat
and had chan sed to her old clothes
when suddenly she heard footsteps on
the path beside the Hoghole. Her
heart almost leapt out of her mouth

peeped out through the aperture. She
drew back inst unity. Reginald Brown
was approaching the canal boat. She
heard him cross the deck. and then the
footsteps ceased. She hoped with all
her might and main that he wouldn't
think of coming downstairs.
But that was exactly what he did
do. She crou ched up against the
bunk. as the boy stepped into the cab

SOIL fertility and ITS
RELATION TO ORCHARDING

feasible and economical means of pre-
venting part Of this annual waste Is
| that of growing a cover crop.
Many orchardists go to great trouble
and expense in hauling manure and
buying commercial fertilizers and neg
lect continuously the opportunity to
grow cover crops. An annual cover
crop of Oregon vetch or one of the
winter grains and Oregon vetch COM
| bined with the crop of leaves from the
fruit trees, which is usually lost where
no cover crop is grown, will perma-
nently maintain the supply of organic
matter and nitrogen in a productive
soil. WORKOUT orchard soils can be
brought back to life and productive
ness by the same cover crops If sup
plemented by light top dressing of
manure or one hundred and fifty (15O)
to two hundred (200) pounds of nitrate
of soda applied broadcast at the time
of seeding This fertilizer will insure
rank growth of the cover crop which
could not be secured on poor soil
without some fertilizing and soon re-
place the depleted organic matter of
the soil gradually decreasing the need
of the fertilizer and finally doing away
with them almost entirely. Manure
straw or any other crop refuse avail
able applied to these WORKOUT soils
will be of great help in their rejuvena-
ton. None of these refuse materials
should be permitted to go to waste
within hauling distance of any COM
mercial orchard. Wheat straw con-
tains as much nitrogen as sixty-two
and one-half (62 1-2) pounds of nitrate
of soda, as much phosphorus as eleven
and one-half Q1 12) pounds of super
phosphate, as much potassium as
forty-two and one-third (42 49, pounds
of sulfate of potash and great bulk
of soil improving organic matter.
The profitableness of orcharding de-
ponds more upon the ability of the soil
to supply the moisture and fertility
needed to insure good wood growth
and large production of fruit than
any other one thing. This soil is han
dicapped by depleted organic matter
content which must be returned before
high production can be secured. 1t
may be returned by the annual cover
crop seeded from August Is to Sep
TENDER l in any western Oregon or
chard. The favored few may make use
OF an available supply of manure,
straw or other refuse. This nitrogen
carrying part of the soil is as essen
tial to success in fruit growing as the
fruit tree itself, it is the first step to
a more economical production. Take It.
