must be considered Nothing can
prove this more convincingly than
the soil auger.
"It is very desirable, so far as
possible, to not only carry the high
the firm soil, Immediately below
the mulch, but also to induce freq
access of air throughout the entire
growing season The ideal condi-
ton to furnish this .ir is to cover
the firm soil with a granular mulch,
neither too fine nor too coarse. To
obtain this ideal mulch, the culti-
walton must be done when the soil
is moist-not wet or dry The
loosened soil soon dries, leaving
the firm soil moist to the top This
is usually easy to obtain in sandy
soils, but to do this properly in
sary to go over the field second
time, after first going over just
enough to loosen the top when the
surface is simply dry enough not
to stick. This prevents the crust
ing or drying out. Then the second
operation should come one to four
days later, after the free water has
gone down, leaving the soil moist,
when it more readily separates,
and makes a finer and much more
effective mulch. This procedure
means much to the tree, as a
higher PERCENTAGE of moisture is
held in the root zone and a crust
ing and cloddy mulch is prevented.
"The high value of this plan of
preparation and one seasons cult
vation before the setting of the
trees or vines, is borne out by the
interesting results obtained from
careful summer tilling for wheat,
oats and barley, and the precise
ness Of time In doing this work IL
just as vital. There are numerous
records of large yields of wheat as
high as 40 to 60 bushels per acre,
grown on correctly summer titled
land, where nearby fields. prepared
and sowed under the more com.
mon plan Of any old way, yielded
very poorly or nothing at ALL"
The Southern Pacific Land De-
partment Bulletin No. 10" deals
quite explicitly with questions OF
increased fertility by tillage. Bull
letin No. 12 also explains in detail
the summer tilling question as ap-
piled to the coast country. One
or both may be obtained without
cost by letter or personal applica-
tion to Hardy w. Campbell, 9s1

Francisco. A Bulletin is now un.

Campbell's greatest pleasure is
TO visit farm or ranch where the
proprietor or manager feels he is
not getting satisfactory returns
and work out, as far as possible, a
practical remedy. The Southern
Pacific follows the theory that its
interests are tied up with the terri.

The same principles OF tillage,
in preparation of land for crops and
subsequent cultivation, which have
proven 80 successful in raising
grain crops on Western semi-arid
lands without irrigation, are prov
ing successful for crops raised un-
der irrigation and for orchards and
vineyards, according to Hardy w.
Campbell, Farm Adviser for the
Southern Pacific Company. Camp
bell has inspected this season
number of new orchards and vine
yards in California, Oregon, Ne
vada, Arizona, and New Mexico.
Campbell is the man who evolved
what is now called tie Campbell
System of Dry Farming" Camp
bell, however, objects to the word
dry" and insists that the princi-
pies used in his present plan apply
to all kinds of farming. with or
without l. legation, as we'll as under
a much lower rainfall than even
now is commonly conceded neces-
sary for successful crops. Camp
bell emphasizes the Importance OF
proper preparation of the seed-bed
and sufficient intelligent cultivation
afterwards.
Campbell arranged to address the
Nebraska Bankers Association at
Omaha, September 22 on the sub
ject of "Soil Fertility by Utility
of Soil Water" and to discuss the
same subject before the Minnesota
Bankers Association at Minneapo-
lis. On his return from these con-
ventions he will stop at Yuma.
Arizona, to investigate conditions
there.
Interesting evidence Of the direct
effect of properly prepared lands
was recently received by Campbell
from a Metropolis. Nevada, grain
field prepared under his direction.
In the form of three stools of wheat.
One stool had 81 stalks, one 103 and
one 120, each the result of one grain
of wheat drilled in well prepared
soil that was literally supplied with
fertility through we'll planned and
timely work. This crop was raised
without irrigation, but was pre-
pared for by summer tillage in 1921
and grown this year.
More evidence of what cultiva-
ton of a growing crop means was
sent to Campbell by A. B. Shield
of Delano, Kern County, California.
in four heads OF wheat from q
stool grown on Shields ranch. This
stool had ample space and was
cultivated while growing, no fertil-
izers or irrigation being used. The
stool contained forty-four heads
averaging rs grains each or slightly
over 3400 grains from one stool.
Such results. says Campbell. sim
ply mean that under certain phys
ical conditions brought about by
the right kind of tillage at the
proper time, very much more grain,
fruit or vegetables may be grown
per acre than is commonly OBJ
tanned. The usual query is Does II
pay?" to which Campbell replies
very emphatically in the affirma-
tive.
Campbell recently inspected a
number OF new orchards and vine
yards In the southern and central
portions of California to study meth
ods and principles commonly prac-
ticed in preparing the land and
the after care In irrigation and
cultivation. One OF these fnspec-
tions was of a 1000 acre peach
orchard OF one. two and three-year-
old trees belonging to the Cali
fornia Packing Corporation and 10

STATE PARDON BOARD
CREATES INDIGNATION
People Of Copiah County Want J.
E. Robertson to Stay in the
State Penitentiary.

A storm of indignation has been
raised in Copiah county over the
announcement that the State Board
of Pardons has placed on the meri-
torious list the name Of j. E. Robert
son, the triple-murderer, now serv-
ing ten-gear sentence in the pen
itentiary for Staying three members
Of the Boutwell, family.
Robertson has been in the peni-
tentiary less than a year, and he
was convicted after one of the hard
est legal fights in the history of CO.
plah county. Powerful influences
were used to prevent his conviction
and three expensive trials were nec-
essary. The manslaughter verdict,
which came as profound surprise
in view of the character of the
crime, was in the nature of COM
promise.
Placing name on the "meritor-
ious list" is usually equivalent to a
pardon at the next quarterly meet
ing of the Board. The people of Co
piah, however, are up in arms, and
1t is stated that they will send big
delegation to Jackson at the January
meeting with a counter petition op-
posing clemency in this case.
Robertson belongs to a prominent
family, and has hundreds OF, relatives
throughout the state, who have been
very active in his behalf.-Jaekson

Pardon Board Recommends Thames
Pardon.

It will be remembered that Clyde
Thames who was sent up from this
county, convicted of grand larceny,
was acquitted, previous to that, on
the charge of numbering his wife.
The State Board of Pardons has now
recommended Thames pardon after
due trial and conviction for grand
larceny.
# there is any evidence that
Thames is a better man than he was
or that he will be worthier citizen
than he was If released there might
be some reason for the Boards ac-
tion which is equivalent to. pardon.

may be said about J. q. Robertson

They were awakened at night by the
noise of a man who seemed to have

chloroform on 1t.
The girls screamed and ran. The
man disappeared.
Upon investigation the doors to
the rooms occupied by the girls and
by Cox were found open. Cox was
