Tree Planting Suggestions

Professor of Forestry, Pullman, Wash.

proved itself to be the most frost
hardy of any of the broadleaved
trees.
For soils of poor quality (sandy,
~gravelly, rocky Jack Pine, Western
Yellow Pine, Austrian Pine, Scotch
Pine, Black Locust will probably give
the best results.
In woodlot planting no tree is so
generally adapted to eastern Wash
ington conditions as the Black Locust.
1t is adapted to the soils Of poorer
quality as well as to the soils of good
fertility, is of rapid growth under
most cond itions and respond exceed
ingly well to irrigation. Its rapid
growth and the durability of the wood
in contact with the soil makes this
tree n of the most valuable that can
be grown for fence post purposes.
For windbreak and shelterbelt
planting the %evergreens are recon-
mended because they retain their
foliage during the winter. Such rapid
growers as the willows, cottonwoods
and poplars have their advantages.
Good results are obtained by under
planting these rapid growing trees
with such evergreens as the Spruces,
and some of the Pines.
Additional information on the above
subjects may be had by addressing
the department of forestry, State col
lege of Washington, Pullman, Wash
ington.
In addition they have this year for
distribution at a nominal price, for
experimental planting a limited num-
Der of trees of some of the species
mentioned. A postal card request
will bring you a price list of the spe-
cies available for distribution under
this plan.

HALF OF WORLDS ELEC-
TRICKY USED IN UNITED
STATES

Recently compiled figures that
of the total i, o0O,O 600, zoo kilowatt-
hours of electrical energy pre-
duced in the world during 1920, the
United States consumed about ono
half, and that Switzerland led
with a psr-capita consumption Of
700 kilowatt-hours. OF the amount
used in the United States, about
Is per cent was for lighting pur-
poses, and the balance for indus
trial activities. 1t is estimated
that n out of every 16 person
who inhabit the world, lives in an
electrically lighted dwelling, and
that of the nearly 500, 000, 600
horsepower available from the wa
terfalls of the world, about one
twentieth part is being utilized.
Only a little more than one-third
of the electric power at present
produced in this country is derived
from hydroelectric sources.

NEW IMPLEMENT DIGS, PICKS
AND SACKS POTATOES

A recently invented potato harvester
combines simplicity with adaptability
to different ways of handling the po-
tatoes after they are dug. 1t can be
used to dig, pick up, and load the
potatoes into a wagon or into sacks
as a continuous operation; as a paid
digger, or just for the purpose of
picking up the potatoes. 1t consists
of a drum, 8 feet in diameter and z
feet wide, built up of hardwood Stats
spaced about L inch apart IN iron
hoops, with iron spirals inside, to
which are attached the digging disks.
AS the drum is pulled along the
ground, the action of the spirals picks
up the potatoes and carries them to
a basket which is automatically in
verified at the top of the drum. The
absence of gears and other mechan-

AS if nature herself were marshal

him, the night brought a silvery full
moon. John Emerson walked leisure
ly about the gardens, a flow OF scented
breezes enveloped him. The man him
self did not feel equal to the task Of
diagnosing the strange restless urge
which had come over him Within
the drums of revolt. He closed his
lips and frightened his clenched hands
and walked, and walked, and walked.
Coming finally into an open space
he found Ruth, a vision of delight in
white frock and bobbed brunette hair,
looking steadily toward the great
arched entrance to the grounds.
Hello, there, darling" placing an
arm about her shoulder. And may
/ ask which one is coming t~onieht?'
Both, daddy"
And she clasped his big shoulders
and placed a kiss on his cheek. And
he returned the caress. Then he
walked away, his eyes fixed far in
the distance, and he heard the gay
voices of youngsters as they flew past
in high powered speedsters on the
motor road below. He was about to
turn into a darkened spot to rest on
an old bench where once he and Mary
often talked at evening. AS he lie
so, he caught sight of still another
pair of diligent wooers-old Annie,
the negro maid, and her gentleman
fren," and he passed on, unable to
Withstand longer the sights which
were crowding themselves before him
and causing his feyerish brain to
whirl with that strange and mex
plainable feeling which had come
over him.
In another home a half mile distant
one of the both" to which Ruth had
referred prepared himself now for the
battle of hearts into which he Dol
was to enter. Bob was a nice boy,
but he lacked both a sufficient and
an impelling wardrobe with which to
properly wage his campaign. At last,
aided and abetted by one OF his
fathers white vests, which hung from
his shoulders like a great shawl OF
some secret society chieftain on par
ade, he strobe forth to do or to die.
AS always seems the case when a
man makes love, the second aspirant
to the hand of Ruth also was making
ready. Ted was a young man to
whom the other boys at school had
referred as Tubby, but his avoirdu-
pois had not seemed to dampen the

| glorious and where there's rest and
everything to make us happy. Will
you? Please do"
John, don't be silly. You talk like
a schoolboy. You're too old to speak
such nonsense" And she drew her
self from him and resumed her work.
Again the fire of discomfort ragged
within him. He watched her snip off
the thread and start to place another
strand through the needles eye.
Mary he said, his voice heavy
and uneven, you're growing toe old
fashioned. And it's just because
you're allowing it. 1t isn't you to be
this way. You mustn't permit your
self to be an old woman yet"
His voice changed and fairly
rippled as he ended his appeal. He
was laughing lightly, and he leaned
over her and made as if to loosen the
high fitting neck of her waist. He
began slowly turning the edges in
ward until her clear white throat was
exposed until she finally shifted un-
easily, replaced the collar, and re-
buked him with:
John, what has gotten into you?
That's not dignified. You shouldn't
be acting like a boy of eighteen.
You're old enough to know better"
He turned and walked across the
room. AS he faced the long mirror
on the living room wall at the door
way he stopped suddenly and glanced
it. Then he moved more closely.
He was peering into it, gazing in
tently upon his own face. A moment
passed. A questioned expression
fitted. Then a slight smile. Was he
old, after all? She had called him
old. But was he? No, he really
wasn't so old. There were many older

ardor which his adored Ruth had
openly expressed for him.
And the two met face to face at
Ruth's front door.
Hello, boys!' she hailed them
from an upper window, BE down in
just one little minute"
The two young men below turned
back-to-back and waited for the little
lady of their hopes to come to them.
In the garden a lonely man was
turning his steps toward the house.
1t was now brightly lighted and
through the doors a hymn was being
borne out on the evening air. 1t was
Mary's voice. John drew back a
shutter and peered inside. There sat
his wife, sewing steadily, %resolutely,
upon a suit of his own last years
wooden underwear. He resented this
~drudgery, this sameness, this color
less nothingness which his wife in
sisted upon. He would go in and ask
her to stop it. He would discuss the
matter quietly, yet firmly, with her.
And then as quickly as the thought
had come, it vanished. No, he would
not speak to her calmly and coolly.
He would go in and face her and de-
mand that she refrain from clutter
ing up his home, his very life, with
meaningless commonplace, with old
women's pastimes and endless moth
ingness. And then as quickly again
he remembered those other days,
when they were young. He faltered,
then he walked inside.
Mary" he said, his voice trem-
bling with emotion as he advanced
toward her, placing his hand upon her
dropping shoulder, why, oh. why, do
you do this?"
His wife looked up at him, half
smilingly.
ITS simply got to be done, JOHN. !
You'll need them when you make
your trip to New York. It's so much
colder there, they say"
At the mention of the name of the
city to which Emerson had made an
annual pilgrimage for the last ten
years in the course of his business,
a faint light passed over his counte-
nance. But he looked back upon her,
stroked her hair gently, then sat
down beside her. She kept steadily
at her sewing, and presently, after
he had found she would not be amused
at the quips which he made of her
work, he said, placing his lips close
to her cheek:
MARY, dearest, put away the work
basket and come out into the garden
with me where the moonlight is

If you have places that you think
would grow trees and you desire to
have them do so the following hints
may aid you in making a wise choice
of species.
For the semi-arid regions of east
ern Washington where the rainfall is
about Is inches and the trees are to
be grown without irrigation the fol-
lowing are recommended: Scotch
Pine, Western Yellow Pine, Jack Jine,
Douglas Fir, (Rocky Mt. form) Black
Locust, Russian Olive.
For the regions where the rainfall
is 20 inches or more add to those
previously listed the following: Aus
TRAN Pine, Blue Spruce, Honey Locust
Norway Maple, blackberry.
For regions within reasonable al
titude (below 5000 feet where the
rainfall is % inches or more or where
the trees are to be grown under If
rigation in addition to the species al
ready listed add: White Pine, Doug
las Fir (coast), Concolor Fir, Balsam
Fir, Spruces, Cedar (Arborvitae), Sill
yer Maple, Black Walnut, Butternut,
White Ash, Red Oak, Chestnut, Bass
wood.
For dry situations in an otherwise
moist region try Austrian Pine, West
ern Yellow Pine, Jack Pine, Douglas
Fir (Rocky Mt. FORM, Scotch Pine,
Black Locust, Russian Olive.
For wet situations along streams
and in similar places the willows,
poplars and cottonwoods will prob
ably do best and in some cases some
success may be had with the spruces.
For localities troubled with frost
during the growing season the best
success can be had by planting the
e~verereens. The Norway Maple has

men. And he was at least young in
mind. He would not be old! He
touched his mustache proudly, then
turned to find Mary looking ~intently
at him.
Still basking in the thought which
had come to him, he leaned over to-
ward the floor and touched his finger
tips to the deep rugs. He did it twice,
three times. And at the fourth dip
ne felt a sudden twinge. Quickly he
Strengthened, and walked Imply
across the room. He picked up a
newspaper, but was promptly dis
tracted from his reading by the
boisterous laughs and the rounds of
little songs that drifted from the
veranda. Presently the four young
sters-Ruth and her girl chum from
down the street, and Bob and Ted
came %joyously into the living room,
and instantly John Emerson was on
his feet. Mary continued her sewing,
paying little heed to the FRANKS the
foul were indulging in, but Ruth's
father took his turn at playing in
their games.
When the photograph had been
started, Mary fidgeted nervously at
her work, but John Emerson thrilled
with pride when Bebe asked him if
he would dance with her. And a
moment later when she glided about
the floor held tightly in his arms,
then suddenly leaned closer and said.
you dance divinely," the mar turned
and peered toward his wife and the
impulse was there to ask the girl to
repeat ito repeat it aloud!
The party ended, Ruth ran up the
wide stairway to her room. John
walked to a window and stood look
ing into the night.

In the house next door a light had
been switched on, and there, outlined
against the lace curtains, were the
forms of a husband and wife sitting
conversing. Presently the man arose
and moved closely beside the woman.
He placed his hand upon her shoulder
and John saw her rise to the touch
and sink herself deep into her hus-
bands arms. AS he stood there,
Emerson saw the light extinguished,
saw the lighting of another lamp on
the floor above, then he turned nerv-
ously to Mary again. That was the
way men ought to do! His neighbor
was right! Women wanted to be
mastered, anyway. He would do the
sameI He moved close to his wife.
He again placed a nervous hand upon
her shoulder.
Come, DEAR" he began in as stern
a voice as he could muster. "WeIl
turn in now. Come along"
But it was not successful. Instead,
John Emerson heard the cold, deter
mined words:
John, don't be silly. Go along to
bed. I'll not disturb you when l
come up. I've got to finish these
aprons tonight"
Disgruntled, he obeyed. A moment
later he heard a light rap upon his
door. Opening it he found Ruth, her
eyes red from weeping. She poured
out to him the story of how her be-
loved Bob had run away with her best
friend, Bebe, without even as much as
a goodbye.
Don't fret, my baby" he told her,
clutching her warmly in his arms.
at always turns cut all right. Bob
will come back to you if he cares for
you. If he doesn't, then you shouldn't
worry"
He led her slowly to an easy chair.
He asked her to sit down beside him,
and there in the shadows, John Emer-
son gave to his only daughter the
advice which he had so often wished
had been given to her mother.

THE KIWANIS CLUB

THE ORGANIZATION OF a Kiwanis Club by the young bust
ness and professional men of this city is an excellent thing for
Perth Amboy. These young men are rapidly coming to the front,
and soon the affairs of the citysvil be in their hands. 1t is well
for them to get together, know each other intimately and work in
harmony for the city's welfare.
The Kiwanis is a worthy organization. Some of the leading
men of the country belong to it. 1t yields considerable influence
and is always a credit to every community in which a club is or
ganized. With principals and ideals similar to the Rotary Club
and the Lions, it is a welcome addition to the club life of Perth
Amboy. These organizations working together for the advance
ment of Perth Amboy can accomplish something worth while.
The Kiwanis is making the right start. By beginning with a
few interested and enthusiastic men and then adding to the num-
Der only those who will make good Kiwanans, the club is going
to be more successful than if it had a large membership half of
which took no interest whatever in the activities of the organize
tion.
Kiwanis bids fair to be one Of the most popular clubs in the
city. Tt Is going to be a decided benefit to Perth Amboy.
