The much talked ot boxing match
between Bud Anderson and ReL Wlti
son which failed to materalire some
time ago due to the failure of both
principals to como to a satisfactory
agreement, may be pulled off after
all as word was received yesterday
from G. M, Anderson, the millionaire
moving picture magnate who is Wat
son's manager stating that he Is now
willing to match Watson against An
derson for Labor Day, September" 2.
Anderson who has been oa a hunt
ing and fishing trip In the vicinity
of his home town. Vancouver. Wash.,
the past three weeks has been noti
fied, but as yet no word has been
received from hlra.
If the Anderson-Watson match can
1e secured Manager Frankie Edwards
will cancel the several other matches
he has1 had In view, as the Anderson
Watson bout would prov a great
attraction and would no doubt be a
record breaker in point of attend
ance. Watson Is a high class youngster
and is rated as one of the best, bis
last appearance in the ring being a
month ago when ho met Frankie
Burns in a hard 20 round bout Abe
Label who lost a ten round decision
to Bud Anderson was knocked out in
eight rounds by Watson several
months ago.
DARROW'S ACQUITTAL
HP HE acquittal of Clarence Darrow of the ehnrgo of
bribing a jury, was to bo expected from tho cvmoneo
presented in the ease. The testimony given against him
was not of a character to warrant conviction and the
prosecution was unable to convincingly prove a motive.
Tho case had all the earmarks of having been
trumped-up to discredit and besmirch tho defendant and
to bring odium upon the causl- of organized labor which
he represents.
For years a bitter fight has been waged in Los Angeles
by organized employers to deny their employes the right
to organize. Blind partisanship and inexcusable violence
has characterized both parties. Persecution and starva-
i V J1 1 J it : 11 1
non wore me tactics on mo one smo ami violence aim
dynamite on tho other.
So bitter has the strujnjlc boon that it is doubtful
if those concerned are able to view the situation except
through the highly colored bunders of prejudice. More
accusation was accepted sis fact and found implicit belief
among, those whom passion had blinded.
The. state made rather a poor case. Tho unsupported
word of a confessed accomplice and crook, evidently
secretly employed as a spy to betray those whom he pro
tended to serve, was the main reliance of the prosecution
and it was not difficult to discredit such testimony.
The boasted evidence Detective Burns lould.y asserted he
had gathered, like much of tho great detectives brag,
proved uiuit ana u luster.
Barrow was employed to save the lives of the
iUcJNamaras. This he accomplished, evidently without
having had to resort to bribcrv. But it does' not excuse
liimor deluding the people of the country into a belief
m uie innocence ot tho -UeNamaras and reaping thereby
an immense defense fund from the pennies of the poor.

Introduction
i " By Prof. P. J. O'Gara
The time is near at band when those, who wish to grow cover cropB in
their orchards should be considering the matter. It has been shown during
Iho past two or three years that cover crops are not so difficult to grow as
bad always been supposed. It has been found that the geat secret of suc
cess In obtaining a good cover crop depends upon the time and manner of
seeding. In the past, cover crops havo been put in too late in tho season
and broadcasting the seed has been the regular practice. It has beon found
that to get results one should drill the seed as early as the latter part of
August or the first week in September so as to take advantago of the usual
early September rains. If the seed is drilled In the ground to a depth ot
two and a half to three inches, there is less danger ot the germinating seed
being injured by the drying ot the surfaco of the soil as would be the case
in broadcasting where "a great deal of the seed would not be placed at a uni
form depth. If the first rains are heavy enough to reach somowhat bolow
the drilled seeds, germination is assured, and a rapid penetration of the
roots to a greater depth will take place. Furthermore, the deep root sys
tem secured by drilling will place the roots at a safe depth so that they
Will not be affected by the cool and frosty nights of the fall and early win
ter. This latter factor alone is of very great importance, and should not bo
overlooked.
"Why Cover Crop Are Needed
With the system of clean cultivation practiced by tho fruit grower,
there Is a constant demand upon the soil for plant food, but nothing Is ever
permitted to return. The humus content ot the soils becomes depleted and,
in time, the trees are unable to secure tho requisite amount of plant food
necessary to produce a crop. Of course, commercial fertilizers may be
a'dded, but they are always expensive. Under our conditions 'it is Impossible
to. secure barnyard manure in sufficient quantities, therefore there remains
but oho method to pursue, namely, to grow the humus in the form of cover
crops. After all, this is nature's method of improving the physical as well
as the chemical condition of the soil and it is certainly the most economical
one. Since cover crops may be grown during parts of the year when tho
trees are not using the available plant food, tho land may bo made to grow
two crops annually cover crops and fruit crops. These crops aro not
competitors, but rather co-operate in the production of the main crop, name
ly, fruit. In the true sense of tho word, a cover crop is one which should
be returned In Its entirety to tho soil. It Is a mistake to think that a cover
crop may be grown between the trees and then harvested as a hay crop.'
Of course, there is some return to tho soil through the stubble and roots
of the cover crop, but under our conditions n practico of this sort not only
removes plant food but has a tendency to remove too much moisturo from
tho soil. i
