Chilean Earthquake
Narrowly 'Missed'
By Oregon Man
SALEM, Feb, 81. WV- State
Highway Engineer n. H. 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

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.

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."
