After fruit trees have reached their tu growth it has been found best in some sections to discontinue cultiva tion of the ground and to seed cover crops, such as clover, alfalfa or some j grass. Some authorities claim this the best system to follow in order to keep the trees in healthy condition. The so-callod cover crops should consist of one of the legumes, if pos sible, such as alfalfa, clover, vetch or lieas, because these crops improve the noil by their power of transmitting initrogen from the air into the soil. "When croppod with any of these grasses more water is generally re quired to m.Uure fruit to good size than where clean cultivation is the practice, but there is less danger of winter injury to tho trees and the fer tility of the land is kept up.

He then went back to the stage and ultimately to pictures. But people know he Is an artist and they will give him no rest. Consequently he will shortly begin a series of sketches of promi nent photoplay personages for a pop ular motion picture weekly, after which he will caricature movie stars, for a daily newspaper syndicate.
