While the creator number of the excursion ists stopped at Weed to "witness the ball came about 140 passed Weed and visited other points farther south. Shasta Springs was explored under the direction of A. S. Rosenbnum who personally conducted tho excursion. Jfr. Rosenbnum for four years was in charge of the Shasta resort and was well acquainted with the many at tractions in that section. SUson was also a point of interest, the excursion ists visiting the large fish hatchery and exploring all of its recesses. Many other points of interest were fehown the visitors. At Weed the excursionists attended the ball game in the afternoon but took considerable pleasure while wait ing there for the train to visit the huge plant of the Weed Lumber Co. Mount. Shasta never appeared to better advantage Sunday, the day being bright, while the trip over the Siskiyous was most delightful.

Preparations were completed for tho official udtil'iaiitiuii tomorrow of Governor Thomas R Mnrslmll of T11 duina of his nomination for tho vice iinwidimoy of, the ynitod Stales on tle dWHoorntio ticket, The n,dv;ni-o HBRrd Iib already arrived hero for 4H MR MANYLOCALPEOPIE 1Y SHASTA MP CHU wm THE NEW ANGEL OP LIGHT NO ART of the demagogue is ovitleSitly to be over looked by Colonel Roosevelt in hjs feverish chase for the will-o-the-wisn ot a third (termt His latest effort is an appeal to religious seiitiment. Constituting himself as 11 i ti 1 1J rne .A.imigiiry, m ins glutinous xust lor onee, nuijsevtui posea as tlic angel of light iii the battle against the dark forces of evil. "We stand At Armageddon and we battle for the Lord," he exclaims in the effort to carry out his pose of a modern crusader rescuing tho people froin the Satanic forces of tho old parties. To lend still more of a religious flavor to his eftort at pergonal aggrandi'.ment, he has his meetings opened by singing hymns like "Onward Christian Soldiers" and an invocation by some local hero worshipper of a preacher. As Cromwell rode roughshod over the established conventions of seventeenth century England proclaiming himself the Lord's annointed to rescue humanity from its sins, so would Roosevelt, in a similar pose, gratify his .ambition to become tho protector of our commonwealth. During his term as president, However, Colonel Roosevelt was leagued with the same powers of darkness He now assails, permitted mushroom growth. Instead ot applying the retorms he now suggests, ho strenously opposed their application. He contented himself by trying to regulate the number of babies women should have while trusts multiplied, as if by magic and the rich grew richer and thy poor poorer under an outrageous protective tariff. The only reason for the third party is the promotion Of the ambitions of Theodore Roosevelt and to this end no appeal to prejudice, or passion, or emotion, religious or otherwise, will be overlooked by the consumate poli tician who leads it. selfishness, greed and essentials of a moral awakening or religious crusade. Cover Crops (Continued from Saturday.) .Meaning of the Terjni Cover Crop A cover crop is any crop grown among orchard trees during the Interval between the regular fruit crop or tho growing season. Such a crop occu pies the land at a season ot the year when fruit trees require little or no plant .food, and when the question of moisture Is not Important. A cover crop is ot value to orchards In the following ways: 1. Tho physical con dition ot the soil is improved by tho addition of humus and the loosening up ot tho subsoil by tho roots. 2. Hard soils are preveuted from cementing and clay soils from puddling. 3. It aids the soil by retaining the precipi tation until it has a chance to soak into to Its drying effect on the surface of the soil, early tillage Is possible. G. The easily lost nitrates, which the trees do not need during the dormant season, are caught and held. 6. Plant topd is made more available by root action and the decomposition ot humus. 7. Soil bacteria, which are so 'necessary to the production of plant food from Inorganic as well as or ganic matter, are Increased by providing a humus supply. S. Cuftlvation and irrigation are made much easier and more effective by tho addition ot humus. 9. Leguminous cover crops, such as vetch, Canada field peas, etc., add plant food to the soil by taking the nitrogen of the air and storing It up in the roots of the plants by a process of fixation. 10. Late fall growth in the trees is checked, thus causing the wood to ripen, and thereby preventing winter or spring Injury which is 6ften termed "souring" or "sour sap." 11. In steep orchard lands, erosion ot the soil is prevented. 12. In heavy soils, where thero is an excess ot lime, a series of cover crops, especially legumines, will very materially reduco the quantity of Unio that comes to the surface. Under our conditions, there Is little danger of "souring" the soil by the addition ot largo quantities of green ouanure in tho form ot cover crops. For the most part, our soils have a good percentage ot lime, especially In the subsoils. Sowing the Cover Crop To get good results, tho land should bo free from weeds, and tho soil should have a mulch of at least three or four inches. There should be no attempt to put in tho crop where tho surface is hard. Ily all means, use a common grain drill so that tho seed may be placed down in tho moist earth, or, at least, to a depth of two and a half or three inches, where subsequent rainB will causo the seed to germinate and where it will not dry out after wards. Where a drill Is not at hand, broadcasting must be practiced, and a disc will be found a very good orchard tool to bo used In getting the seed into the ground. It should bo followed with a harrow or somo ther surface-working tool. A spring tooth is aso a good tool and may bo used in place of a disc.' Plants to Use foi Cover Crops Plants which may be profitably used as orchard cover crops may be divided Into two classes, namely, the leguminous plants, which by tho aid of root-nodule forming bacteria, take nitrogen from tho air and storo It up in their roots; and tho non-leguminous plants, whiph are unablo to tako nitrogen from tho air. To the first group belong the clovers, vetches, field peas, beans, etc., and which are commonly known as nitrogen-gatherers; while to the second group belong such plants as oats, wheat, rye, buckwheat rape, etc, together with most of the common orchard weeds. From these groups, tho orchardlst may select any iype or any combination ho wishes, depending wholly upon the needs of the soil and trees. In the selection of a cover crop It Is necessary to determine tho needs of tho trees, as well ns the physical needs ot the soil. If tho trees are mak ing a poor growth, it is necessary to grow a nitrogen-gathering crop In order to add nitrogen as well as humus; but If tho trecB aro making too much growth and are producing little or no fruit, a nitrogen consumer should bo UBed for tho purpose of" checking tho tree growth and forcing fruit produc tion. It is often necessary to sow cover crop In very young orchards, es pecially where they are planted on soils that have for a great many years produced heavy crops of wheat or other nitrogen consuming plants. It Is rarely over necessary under our conditions to add a nitrogen consuming crop to young trees so aso prevent growth. What wo want In young orchards is rapid growth. However, in orchards that should be bearing, It Is often necessary to sow oats, wheat, or barloy as a cover crop in order to check growth" and force fruit production. In extreme cases, at least part of such a crop may be harvested, especially whoijp tho trees are growing In Balls which have never produced field crops. Where nitrogen 1b needed and tho physical condition of tho soil demands humus, wo have found that a combination of winter oats and vetch serves our purpose best. During tho past three years, this office has. made many observations covering the matter of cover crops, and it has been found that the best results are obtained when SO pounds of vetch and 3C to 40 pounds of winter oats are UBed' per acre. Too great a quantity of oats should not be used, as its very rapid grovth will" have a tendency to choko .tho vetch, A sufficient quantity, b noted abovo, will act ub a "nurse" for ,tho vetch and will also add a con siderable quantity of green manure. If drilled in to a depth of two and a half to tbrco inches during tho latter part of August or tho first wcok lu September, thero should be a good growth of both tho oats and vetch bofore tho cooler wlutar weather sets In. Last season, the Palmer Investment Compapy, under the direction of this Office, put in' abolit 140 acres of ah oats and vetch crpp, and in early NovomberHho oatB lnnost places measured from' 12 to 18 'inches high, and the vetch from 0 to 12 Inches high, It was found that at this time tho roots wero'from 0 to 8 Inches long and had al ready formed a done mat, Dy referring to tho precipitation records for September 1911, wo find that the early part of tho mouth had 0.38 Inches which was quite sufficient or tho germination of the seed. Tho lattc, part ot the month gavo 0.75 Inches, whloh 'further Improved tho conditions for plant growth.' The total precipitation for tho anonth was only 0.10 inches I abovo normal, an almost negllgahjo vnpount.
