WAHLBERG Farm Advisor This has been a windy season and one that has put the windbreak to a severe test. More attention than usual has been focused on the windbreak and its SEEK SOUTHERN G. O. P. DELEGATES By GEORGE R. HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 26—President Coolidge's campaign managers have decided to lose no time going after the 156 delegates from the so-called solid south to the Cleveland convention. The first step in this campaign was seen today in the announcement that C. Basom Slemp, the president's secretary, is leaving the capital tonight for the south, to be gone several weeks. Before he returns to the White House he will have made a fairly complete survey of the situation in the south Atlantic states from the Coolidge standpoint. Conferences will be arranged with Republican leaders in Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and the Carolinas. In all these states, except North Carolina, delegates to the Cleveland convention will be selected by state conventions instead of independent primaries. In some of these states, notably in Florida, and Georgia, the Republican organization is facing factional fights and one of Secretary Slemps objects will be to so adjust these controversies as to permit uncontested delegations to go to Cleveland next June. The Coolidge managers are keenly desirous of avoiding contests before the national committee. Contested delegations lead to bitterness and eries of "steam roller" such as were aroused in 1912 and led to the great schism of that year and the Coolidge managers are desirous of avoiding a repetition of that experience. The Coolidge managers are confident that the president's interests in the south have been greatly enhanced by Henry Ford's unqualified endorsement of the president for nomination and election. The main strength of the Ford candidacy was conceded to be in the south. SOVIETS BEGIN TO CLEAN UP MOSCOW MOSCOW, Dec. 26.—The soviet government has begun to clean up Moscow and rid the city of all undersirable residents of both sexes. M.

More attention than usual has been focused on the windbreak and its relation to orchard protection. Much concern has been felt by growers in exposed sections, particularly where windbreaks have been removed during the past few years. Increased wind-burning has resulted in many instances where protection has been reduced by the removal of the windbreak. A careful survey of cause and effects of wind damage from the recent wind storms by the extension service and experiment station indicates that the windbreak has an important place in providing protection for the grove that is exposed to the driving force of these desert winds. Dozens of demonstrations of efficient windbreaks in Orange county bear witness to their usefulness and effectiveness in the community. Some competition necessarily accompanies the windbreak, but this can be minimized by judicious management to the point where it is practically negligible. Proper irrigation, fertilization and root cutting will practically meet the demands of the fast-growing break. Extra applications of irrigation water and generous amounts of organic fertilizers will give the required nourishment to the break, thus cutting down the hazard of robbing the orchard tree. Growers who have practiced this method, besides the annual cutting of roots, have suffered little competition, which is by far less damage than would have been experienced if the break were removed. The question of variety of tree use for windbreak comes up every day. Any fast-growing evergreen adapted to Orange county conditions is acceptable. Choice is often decided by the general character of root growth—the deeper rooting trees being preferable. The cypress and athel belong to this class. The eucalyptus are more laterally inclined, but can be effectively trained by subsolling and root cutting annually. Combinations of cypress and eucalyptus have been planted with good results. Good examples of windbreaks may be found in all parts of the county. The San Joaquin Fruit Co. has a complete system of double-planted breaks consisting of cypress and eucalyptus; the C. J. Klatt ranch, at Austin, has another example of bitterness and eries of "steam roller" such as were aroused in 1912 and led to the great schism of that year and the Coolidge managers are desirous of avoiding a repetition of that experience. The Coolidge managers are confident that the president's interests in the south have been greatly enhanced by Henry Ford's unqualified endorsement of the president for nomination and election. The main strength of the Ford candidacy was conceded to be in the south.
