Baldock probably won't complain any more about slow stenographers because the lack of speed displayed by some of them might have saved i the Chilean earthquake t that killed about 40.000 his lit. of Jan persons. Baldock returned to his desk to day from Santiago, Chile, where he was one of two American dele Rates to the pan-American "high way conference. "I was in Santiago, about 255 miles from the earthquake center, hut 1 would have been in the cen ter of it at Concepcton if it hadn't been for my stenographers, who were preparing my reports. it took them a long time to compile them in English and Spanish, and I was very much peeved at them I because they forced mc to delay my trip to Concepcion. Later, however, I was very grateful to them, because thousands of people were killed in Concepcion," he said. "The reports were completed at 7 p. m. on a Tuesday night, and at 1 1 :35 p. in. 1 was sitting in my hotel room when the building shook for a minute and a half. It was a most terrifying experience, but no one was killed in Santiago. i I went to bed an hour later, and on Friday, 1 went to Valparaiso i to sail for home. ''The quake was the worst in j South American history, and prob- ' ably was the worst in the civilized ! history of the world." Baldoek had intended to go to Concepcion and Chilian, the hardest-hit cities, to inspect Chilean I roads, but after the quake, he did i not enter the quake zone.

Therefore, spring planting is the only really safe procedure for eastern Ore- ! gon. Best Soil Conditions Should I!e Utilized Fruit trees in general do best upon well drained . loamy soils with fairly retentive subsoils. Apples and pears do best on light, j medium clay loam soils, while cherries, prunes and plums en joy a soil with a little more silt' in it. Walnuts and filberts like deep, loamy soil well supplied with moisture, but peaches and j almonds appreciate a slightly lighter, more sandy type of soil. Above all things, avoid too heavy and soggy soils for fruit tree i planting. If water is plentiful j for irrigation, the sandier typos ; of soils can be used to advantage, 1 provided the sand is not too coarse. Many times it is not possible for the general farmer to pick an ideal soil, handily located to his buildings. In such case he can j I often improve the orchard cite I considerably by some open ditches to carry off surface water and j possibly by tiling the soil in such i a way as to keep it from being soggy and heavy. Generous ap plications of barnyard manure and the plowing under of cover crops will do much to make the soil more loose and friable and easy to work. Watch Drainage To Assure Success Sometimes soils which would naturally be good for the grow : ing of trees arc made unsuitable i by water seeping from rocks in the slopes above the trees. In ; such cases it is often a simple matter to run tile in ditches which cut the ground slightly above the line marked by the seepage water. In this way the water may be kept off the surface and may be sent down to lower levels through tiles which should run between the rows of trees to some good outlet. An occasional spring may be cared for in this manner also. Air drainage is fully as im I portant as water drainage. Cold air always flows down hill when i given the opportunity and often 'settles as a cold blanket in a val ley or in some low spot in the orchard. There must be sufficient slope to get rid of this cold air. ! The slope does not need to be steep, however, only a moderate I drop of three or four inches to I the hundred feet is sufficient. Cold air can be blocked easily at the foot of an orchard by such things as high hedges, woods, or even buildings, and whon this is done the cold air builds up to the height of the woods and may cause, considerable frost or win- j tor damage to the trees and to the crop. Provide Pollination For Good Fruit Yield Sufficient pollination for a set j of fruit must be provided. Many mistakes have been made in times j past in this regard. As the sub- j ject of pollination may not be too well understood, I will give1 a very brief definition of it. By pollination is meant the process by which male and female elements of flowers are united to produce seeds and set fruit. Different varieties and kinds of fruit may he divided into three classes: first, those which will set abundant crops of fruit by using their own pollen and which can be set in the orchard in solid blocks of one variety; second, varieties which will set good crops of fruit when the time of blos soming overlaps with the time of blooming nf another variety set as n pollinier; and third, certain varieties of fruit which require careful selection of other varieties which are known to be good pol linfzers before a good crop of frOit will be set. Most of the peaches exept J. H. Hale, qunces, most of the sour cherries, the apricot, and the citrus fruits belong in the first group. Also, many of the Eur opean plums, such as the Italian and Petite, and most of the small fruits come in the first group. In general, most of the apples and pears and walnuts belong in the second class, which require some overlapping of their blossom ing period to produce good yields of fruit. In addition, the Japanese j and American plum, the almond, ! filbert, and many of the sweet ! cherries fall in this class. In the third class, requiring spe I eial eslection of pollinizers, come 1 the three leading commercial sweet ; cherries, the Napoleon (Royal ; Ann), Bing, and Lambert, also a few of the Japanese plums and some of the almonds. It is very necessary to have enough pollinizer trees in the orchard to set good crops and to have thse trees uniformly distrib I utcd throughout the orchard. American Jazz By George Hopkins Ready For Recital American jazz in its most color- j ful and rhythmic moods by George ' Hopkins, professor of piano in the University of Oregon school of music, will be presented by the University symphony orchestra when they play their final concert of the season in the music audi torium next Tuesday evening. February 28. The Hopkins "Suite Jazz," which will have its public premiere that evening, will be played by en semble groups of orchestra mem bers. This will add greatly to the effect iveness of the five selec tions, termed by Mr. Underwood as "some of the finest novelties the orchestra has over born privileged to offer." "Black Diamonds" Rhythmic Jitterbugs are hardly expected to start swinging down the aisles, but the rhurnba, "Black Diamonds," is likely to set anyone's feet moving. "Moondown" is low and plaintive, while the others, "Snake Eyes," "Hum, Black Boy," and "Dusky Rhythm" are more in the manner of swing. The numbers have been accepted by an eastern music concern and will be published shortly. The remainder of the orchestral program is in a more classical vein, and will include, among other selections. "Dream Pantomime" from Hum perd nick's "1 lansel and Gretcl," the prelude to Act Three from Wagner's "Ijohreng'in," and the Farandolc from Bizet's "1,'Ar lesienne" suite Robert Garretson, instructor of piano, who will tic featured soloist, will play John Powell's "Negro Rhapsody." - Two Cellos Will Be Played Tuesday In Music Auditorium The first work for tw ever performed in Fugene will be played Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the music building when Madge Conaway is presented in her senior recital.
