THE FARM AND HOME.
THE GREAT VALUE OF A GOOD
APPLE ORCHARD.

Value OF an Apple Orchard.

It is possible that the worth Of an
apple orchard may be over estimated,
but if of good varieties, old enough to
bear and convenient for marketing, 1t
will pay for an immense amount Of
thought and labor, and give good
profit besides. Without these it will
probably pay nothing as thousands of
orchards have not these past few years
Can any condition more hopeful be de-
sired than this? We think not. Moth
ing is produced except by combining
labor, skill and thought. If there
could be, an economical chaos would
result The value of the apple orchard
consists in the amount it can be made
to pay interest upon with certainty,
after paying for the necessary labor to
grow and harvest the crop. Whatever
the mass Of apple growers may think,
this is vastly better for them than con-
tinuing in the old notion that apples
will grow, if at all, of themselves, and
that all the expense of the crop is in
harvesting it.
Allowing forty trees per acre the
bearing of barrel of fruit to each
tree will give even in years OF low
prices more money than can be got
from most grain crops. But with
modern facilities for spraying to de-
stroy insect enemies and fungus
growth, apples trees fully grown ought
to bear five barrels per tree. We
have known individual trees in good
| years to much exceed this amount.
Thirty-one years ago last fall we
picked from large Greening tree
fourteen barrels of salable fruit. be-
sides the windfalls and those other
wise imperfect. 1t stood on rich
ground, but not richer than any farmer
could well afford to give to all the
| trees in his orchard for such yield
as this. The old tree is long since cut
down, but it paid for all the land its
, roots occupied many times over. II
apple growing can be or has already
been reduced to a science such yields
as this ought not to be uncommon.
How much per acre is well-bearing
orchard OF these trees worth? II Civ.
en- the attention they should have they
will not only pay for that, but also the
bly, the entire farm has given under
slipshod methods of managing it.
What farmers most need is greater
faith in their own business--a belle
that thought skill and money invested
in developing the capacity of its diff
ferent departments will pay as surel,
and even more surely than do sucl
qualities engaged in railroads, in com
merce and manufactures. When farm
ers have this faith, they will soon learl
to make their business pay. So lon!
as they do not have it much OF th'
best blood and brain belonging to thu

New Settlers from Kansas,
From the Tempe News.

From the Tempe News.
 Up to this date the Kansas people have bought 1940 acres of land in the vicinity of Tempe. The larger portion of this land is divided into twenty and forty acre tracts and will this spring be set out to trees and vines. Every prep aration is being made for the systematic working of these, tracts and in a few years they will rival the most favored sections of California and prove verit- able bonanzas to their owners. The settling of these people in this section means much to Tempe; in fact the en- tire valley cannot but be benefited by their presence, for they are thrifty and intelligent class, and the success which they are bound to achieve will induce others to come. Our people owe the energetic firm of Schultz X Franklin a never ending debt of gratitude for their tireless work in this matter, which has been go fruitful of results for the good of the valley.

Should the proposition receive proper encouragement it will be of vast i'm portance to the southern portion of ArI- zona, as it would bring direct compe- tition in rates and fares, for the travel ing public and shippers to and from Tucson and the west.

The Doctor, thinking discre- tion the better part of valor, made his escape around an adjacent building and sent for an officer, who arrived in time to receive bullet wound in the arm. Things were getting serious by this time and another officer was sent for, who was more successful than the first, and after lively tussle he succeeded in cap turing the enemy's gun and putting him to sleep with the butt end of 1t.
