MIGHT BE TERMED SALT FARM
saIton Region Of California 10 DE-
voted 70 the Production Of That
indispensable Article.

Passing through that portion OF
California known as the "Salton" one
sees stretched out below him long
rows of what appear to be haycocks
Of q curious design. These constitute
q part of what is called the salt
farm" and the haycocks are in reality
great cones Of salt. Upon investiga-
lion one will find that the basin OF
land into which he Is gazing is be-
tween 200 and 800 feet below the level
of the sea and that something like .
thousand acres Of this land are covered
with a vast deposit Of salt.
Each year there are removed moro
than 1000 tons Of salt. The salt Ii
flrst plowed into ridges. then piled
into conical heaps, eventually going
to the drying house. From this 1t pro-
ceeds to the crushing mill.
1t is an easy matter to mistake this
area for field Of snow. because 1t 70
almost pure white, II one did not
know that snow does not fall In that
quarter. The supply Of salt is being
constantly renewed by deposits from
the waters of salt springs flowing
into this basin.
To remove the salt the services OF
Indian wOrkmen are utilized. since
these are the only men who can with
stand the terrific heat and the glare
Of the June sun, for 1t Is In that
month that the work is done. The
temperature often reaches $50 degrees.

At least one New York club has

ODD WAYS OF FISHER FOLK


The fisher folk Of the east coast Of
Scotland have habits and customs DIFF
fersnt from those Of any other section
Of the working classes.
Except in selling their nsh or pur-
chasing the actual necessities, or oc-
casionally borrowing from the bank
when assistance il required In the buy
ing Of IN old or the building Of new
boat, they have next to no traffic with
the outside world.
It IL seldom that q fisherman marries
other than a fisher lass. and even
should she allow her affections to wan
der, the line is firmly drawn at q
cooper or other fish-worker with the
"codlins bleed" which means that he
belongs to fisher family.
There Is a distrust Of the Trent
as outsiders are termed-almost
amounting to a racial distinction. and
this il emphasized in the implicit con-
fdence one fisherman will place In an
other, although they may be utter
strangers to each other
1t is safe to say that the majority OF
the Scottish fisher folk are teetotalers.
An odd fisherman may be met in most
Of the villages who IL teet0tal until
asked to have something. Then 1t Is:
"Well, I'm q teetOtaler in kind o. a
way. Nae bigoted. ye ken; never
took ony pledge. A mans aye best
that can templar hilnsel'! Oh, I'll drink
yer health-no' that I care . preen
PINT for t. Ma. thank ys, I never
tax water"
And half q gill of mountain dew that
could peel the 5ark of granite nonu-
ment vanishes.
The fisherman 10 emphatically of re-
ligious turn. Az preacher he IL \
marvel. With fewer opportunities than
most men for the cultivation Of cor.
rect speaking, he can 60 out into the
square at Stornoway or Fraserburgh.
where thousands Of his fellows have
gathered for the summer herring-flsh-
ing, and discourse on a text for twenty
minutes or so with an elOQuence and
grip Of his subject which might be
envied by many members Of the cloth.
says writer In Mac Matters.
The fisherman has his share Of weak
nesses and not the least of these are
the superstitions. long discarded by
others, and some peculiarly his own. to
which he still clings.

Numbers of Young Trees Affect

thorities Say

EXPERIMENT, Ca, Sept. -
During the present summer many
reports have come to the Georgia
Experiment Station that numbers Of
young pecan trees were dying. In
most cases the trees started into
growth and appeared perfectly nor
NAL for time, then the leaves
turned yellow, growth ceased, and
the tree died to the surface Of the
soil.
If examined when the leaves first
began to show the unhealthy color,
the sap-wood near the base of the
tree was found to be dead and dark
colored. The sap-wood this region
soon develops a peculiar odor which
has suggested the name, "Sour Sap
by which the disease is generally
known among growers. The bark
over this region soon dies, and, if
the injury extends entirely around
the tree, underlying tissues dry out
and fail to transport water and
plant food to the upper part of ne
tree.
Injured trees are often attacked

by bark beetles that bore small holes
into the bark and sap-wood. Grow
ers often attribute the death of the
trees to the work of this insect. The
bark beetle only attacks trees that
are already in a dying condition.
The Injury is in some way pro-
duced by cold. 1t is generally
thought the sun shining on the
trunk while the tree is frozen causes
injury to the tender cambium tissue
between the bark and the wood.
Such injury occurs frequently to
peach and pecan trees I'M this state.
In pecans it is usually found only
in young trees, before the sixth
year. After this time the bark be-
comes thicker and more corlly, and
seems to protect the trunk from in
jury.
Many growers now practice wrap
ping the trunks of young trees with
sacks, grass. or other protecting ma
terials and have succeeded in saw
ing the trees.
After a tree is once injured there
is little hopq Of saving it. The best
thing to do is cut the tree off near
the surface Of the soil. The stump
will soon send up new sprouts. Re
move all but one so that this one
will get all the nourishment posi-
BILE, and it will be large enough to
bud the following summer. The old
root system will push the bud into
bearing two or three years earlier
than bud on a young seeding.

ILLINOIS MEN WIN BONUS
Supreme Court UphoIds Act Providing
for the Allowance of Fifty
Cents Per Day.

The close relation existing between
the services of the individual soldier
of the World war and the general well
fare of the state gives rise to claim
appealing to a universal sense Of fair
ness and justice, declared the opinion
of the Supreme court of Illinois in up
holding the bonus act Of that state.
The court was unanimous on the con-
stitutionality of the act and by this
decision payes the way for 100000 ex-
service men and women to obtain a
state bonus.
The Illinois act provides for the
payment of so cents per day for each
day of service in the army, navy or
marine corps. The maximum payment
which any veteran may draw is $500.
To pay the veterans bond issue Of
$55,000,O00 has been made and will be
sold Immediately. Palmer D. Ed
munds, chief clerk Of the board which
passes on the bonus applications, has
estimated that payment will begin
about July l, and that the former SOL
diers will be paid at the rate of APP
proximately $4,000 a month. Applica-
lions to the number Of 100000 are al
ready on file with the board.
The case in Supreme court, a
friendly suit" brought by the father
of a Legion man of Springfield, ILL.,,
attracted much attention. 1t was the
contention of the attorneys for the ap-
peflants that the law violated the con-
stitution by granting extra compensa-
ton after public service had been
rendered.
The opinion of the court, written by
Chief Justice Thompson, and without
q dissenting vote, held that the recipi-
ents of compensation in the case did
not come within this specification of
the constitution. They, the opinion
said, do not stand in the relation of
public officer, agent, servant or con-
tractor of, or with the state, and that
the section has no application here
The activity of the American Legion
In assisting the securing of the passage
of the Illinois act is well known. The
organization was called on to write
Tic act anu w do a. Oh tAAAAOo e@SSA'N LII
moving toward it's passage. On the
eve of the election by which the voters
of the state approved the bond issue
to pay compensation, the organization
staged a demonstration throughout the
state that won thousands of votes.
Under advice of the Legion, the ruling
was made by the bonus board that all
service should be compensated at the
specified rate until 1920. The previous
acceptance had been for service ac-
tually rendered before the armistice.

EXPECT BIC CROPS
Conditions in Western Canada
Please Farmers.
Seeding Has Been Begun Earlier Than
for Many Years, and Soil Is
in Perfect Shape.

With weather conditions highly ia
vorable, the farmers of Western Can
ada, with the exception probably of
portion of Manitoba, have completed
seeding from ten to fifteen days earlier
than for some years past. In some
parts of Manitoba there were floods
which delayed seeding, but they have
abated, and left the land in good shape
for quick work and speedy germina-
ton. In Saskatchewan soil conditions
for seeding were never better. With
generous quantity of snow, which after
melting left needed moisture, and an
other snowstorm after seeding was
finished, there was an ideal condition
created. From all parts of Alberta
there came the best of reports as to
rainfall and snow moisture, leaving the
ground in the condition required for
the prospects of good crop.
Spring, as in most other parts of the
continent, was backward, but notwith-
standing this, as has been said, farmers
were able to get on the land earlier
than for some years. In fact, seeding
was practically commenced about the
18th of April, which to many readers
may seem remarkable, when it is
known that several hundred miles far
Their south it was not possible to do
spring seeding for several days later.
Reports to hand on the 10Th of May
state that wheat is up above the
ground in great many places, oats
are being sown, and corn planted.
Farm labor was scarce for awhile, but
the demand has fallen off. One fea-
ture of the demand for farm help is
that farmers are now employing help
by the year, at of course smaller wages
than those paid for special work. The
increasing tendency to employ help by
the year is evidence that farmers are
not relying solely upon wheat growing,
but are going out into other branches,
such as dairying, stock raising, etc.
The prospects in all portions OF West
ern Canada were never brighter than
at present. Information regarding the
condition of the crops at any time will
be sent on request made to any Cana
dian government agent.-Advertise
