ORCHARD
CLEANINCsS
Trees of Various Kinds
Need Much Plant Food


Trees of any sort are but large
plants and require food with which TO
sustain their life processes. The farm
orchard, whether 1t bears every year
Or not, exerts continuous drain upon
the soil which does not even enjoy the
respite which comes to the ordinary
held through rotation system. For
est trees meet such conditions more
successfully than do the trees in an
orchard for the reason that rich
moulds are formed by the disintegra-
ton of leaves and other vegetation
from which the trees gather a large
amount of food through their intricate
root systems. Professional orchard
lists appreciate all this and give their
trees the encouragement and assistance
that Is held in barnyard wastes.
Many a farm orchard is denied the
benefit Of manuring for the reason that
the wastes are needed for the fields or
because OF Indifference due to lack of
appreciation of the fact that trees as
well as farm crops can make use of
plant foods. The result Is that farm
orchards frequently yield below what
would have been the case had the
ground been given dressing Of
manure.
The best time to apply manure to
this part of the farm acreage is just
after the crop has been gathered. The
waste can be made TO go further If 1t
is not spread closely around the trunks
Of the trees but is placed in circular
fashion under the branches as 1t is
here that the root systems lie.
BY distributing orchard manure at
the time indicated, there will be
abundant opportunity for soluble
plant foods to be washed into the soil
before the next growing season and
the manure itself will have become
disintegrated before the next crop Is
In the trees. Manure distributed in
the spring often constitutes an annoy
ance to those who work in the orchard

bULKLEY WELLS PARTY. REPORTED OVERDUE;
 SEARCH ID BE MADE
ONE OF SEWARD'S BEST KNOWN GUIDES AT HEAD OF PARTY.
 ON WAY TO SEWARD

A party composed of Bulkeley Wells and wife, of Denver, Colorado, with Andy Simons, Stewards well known guide at the head, left Sand Point November 2, for Kodiak, on the gas boat Viking, in command of Captain John Olsen, and have not yet arrived at their destinati their protracted trip causing their friends some uneasi- ness. When the party left Unga they had killed no bears, and MT. Wells stated they would call in at several coves on the way down the coast, and endeavOr to secure an animal or two. The launch is a very seaworthy one, 6212 feet long, powered with a 4O- horse Standard, with two power ten ders, and Captain Olsen is one of the best navigators on the coast. A letter received from Unga by Fred Pedersen of this city stated there had been no storms in that section, and it is be- lieyed the party is snugly cached in some bay, engaged in hunting
 A number of Seward citizens held a meeting yesterday with Gov. Bone, and asked him to have a cutter sent in search of the party, which he prom ised to do. MT. Simons is familiar with every nook and corner of the coast, and it is believed that even if motor trouble developed on the launch the tenders would be able to tow her to safety.
 Jfdge E. E. Ritchie today authoriz- ed the sending of a rescue boat from Unga to search for the supposedly ma rooned mariners, and a craft will leave at once, connecting with the Starr at Chignik
 Capt Johansen of the steamer Starr kept good lookout for the Viking, but could easily have passed her in the night, or if she was in some shel- tered cove.
 While the party is believed to be safe, a search will be started at once, in order to relieve the anxiety of friends

BALLA|NE PUBLISHES CHARGES AGA|NST
 ALASKA RAILROAD
FORMER SEWARD RESIDENT ON WAY TO WASHINGTON TO
 INTERVIEW PRESIDENT

SEATTLE, Dee. B. Strangl ing the Alaska Railway" is the title of a pamphlet just off the press, from the faclle pen of John k. Ballaine, former promoter and railroad builder of Alaska.
 Ballaine will leave TOT Washing ton this week to lay before Presl, dent Coolidge his charges ill pamphlet form concerning the Alaska railway.
 Ballame will insist that the road be taken out of the hands of those he claims are its enemies, and will tell the president that 1t Is now ill the hands of its enemies, and that there can be no development ot traffic for the Alaska railroad un- der the hands of Governor Bone ol in control of his policies.
 Ballalne writes as the closing paragraph of his forty-four page pamphlet that there can be nc development or needful measures applied to make 1t an agency ln opening Alaska to settlement and development as congress intended because the process of strangula- tion has been both persistent and cunning.
 Ballaine will be supported in his appeal to the President by the Railway Brotherhoods of the Uni ted States.
 In his pamphlet MT. Ballaine follows closely along the articles written for an Alaska paper at the time the President was in the Ter ritory. He believes that the right of way should have followed the Moose Pass route, and that the section from Broad Pass to the Panama will have to be rebuilt on account of loose rock and shale.
 A bitter arraignment of the rail road management for it's expendi- ture of several millions in subsi- dizing the steamship companies to haul its own freight is included in the schedule, and Ballaine declares transportation companies were in combine with the railway manage ment under Col Mears, to loot the treasury.
 The attack follows closely along the lines of previous attacks and is alleged to have been inspired by Ballaine failure to secure the position of general manager.
