Interculture.
California cultivator.l

"Interculture" is new title for the custom of growing crops of any kind in orchards of standard fruit trees It is at this time receiving great deal of attention from the horticul- tural press, and, as usual, has it's ad- vocates and opposers, who argue from their respective standpoints with much apparent force. Where trees are planted twenty to thirty feet apart, as is the custom for all orch ards of standard fruit, there must necessarily be large area of ground unoccupied by the roots of trees for several years. and it is, in our Opin- ion. simply nonsense to say that this space can not be used protitably and without injury in the growing of some annual crop of vegetables until all the territory is required by the fruit trees On the contrary, all experiments prove that proper use of this space for such purpose results in decided benefit to the trees when their roots ultimately reach the cultivated ground. Even nursery stock and small fruits, like the blackberry and raspberry, might be grown for few years without decided injury, but we would not recommend them, for the permanent character of such plant ings prevents the perfect cultivation of the soil: and they take from it more of the clements of standard tree growth than vegetable. Therefore, from long observation and much ex- perience, we can say to all who con- template anything of the kind, that they can for several years grow yege- tables and strawberries in their newly planted orchards of standard fruits by observing the following rules, viz: Thoroughly prepare the soil before planting the crop: leave ample space for cultivation between the rows of trees and the first rows of vegetable plants, and restore to the soil las much as possible,l in the shape of complete fertilizer. all the elements taken off by the crop cultivated.

Requisites for successful Fruit Culture.

In a public address on successful fruit culture, President Williams, of New Jersey, is reported as laying down the following seven conditions as necessary, the substance of which we give;
 1. Adaptability of soils to varie- ties.
 ,. Adaptability of the man for the business.
 3. Fertile soil and clean culture.
 1. Productive varieties of showy appearance.
 3. Fruit carefully handled and hon. estly put up.
 6. Plant sparingly of novelties.
 :. Study how to feed the different crops, as the farmer does his animals to produce the best results.

4 GREAT RESOURCE or SOUTHERN
 ARIZONA.
A Detailed Account of the Curing Process

Prune production Is one of the la tent resources of Southern Arizona, development Of whlch within the huxt few yeats will prove a source of wtalth. The market for dried prunes is widely extended, covering the en- tire country, and it will be many years before domestic production can over take foreign importation The best and most merchantabIe prnnes are produced in semi-tropic rlimcs, and the curing or the dried article is more completely and perfectly managed in arid localities. The per centage of sugar in the cured prune is much greater in fruit raised in the semi tropics, greatly increasing the value of the fruit for the purposes used
 There are several varieties of the fruit. The Silver prune is the largest and bears more flesh In proportion to tho pit, The experience of most growers is that the trees are more hardy and vigorous when grafted up- on peach or wild plum roots-the lat ter being generally preferred A further advantage arising from this plan of grating lies in the fact that either of the above mentioned roots is absolutely free from the attacks of gophers.
 Curing the prune is process ihclu- ding considerable detail. and requir- ing close attention It is the careful attention to these details upon which the value of the cured article de- bends
 Prunes should not be gathered uutil tho fruit is ripe enough to fall of it's own weight, or, at most, from the ef- feet Of a slight jar. If gathered in this condition, fruit being of first class quality and properly handled subsequently,, a frst-claSs dried fruit will be the result. Generally it is gathered by spreading large canvas under the tree and shaking it, re- beating the process from time to time until all has fallen. Usually two piec- es of canvas, each l0x20 feet are laid together. The corners are taken up and the fruit rolled to the center, where it is easily taken up.
 If the objects sought are the great est quantity and best quality, the fruit is graded before drying. It is a custom with some driers to grade the fruit into two or four grades before drying. and after drying regrade it in- to six or seven grades. Grade the fruit before drying it. into six or sey- en grades the number the trade wants. If this work is properly done, no grading after the fruit is cured will equal it. Then grading the fruit before drying it costs less than grad it after 1t is dried.
 Fruit of nearly the same size, condi- ton and quality is placed together when put on the trays, and kept so until sold. Each grade can be cured as much as required, and no more. Then portion of the pruncs on the same tray will not be fit to take up before another portion has reached the halfway point. They win come up as they went down-all together and none of them need be hone dry. Oyerdricd fruit has not only lost too much in weight. but also too much in quality. The best quality of fruit must not be bone dry" Thus, retain

to the price.
 The fruit is then dipped in a solu- tion of weak lye to break the skin and facilitate its curing. There are sey- eral machines for this purpose. Re gently the end sought by this process has been effected by perforating the fruit. in a machine invented for this purpose, which passes the prunes over bed of needles. The advantages claimed for the machine perforater over the lye process are as follows:
 l. It breaks the skin more generally and consequently prunes dry more evenly and in less time.
 ?. The prune retains it's sugar and fruity substance and presents d richer and more glossy appearance than the partially lye-colored skins of other prunes.
 3. It yields heavier prune. dried, for it's size. the crop drying substan- italy two pounds toone.
 4. Buyers and consumers are better satisfied with the needle perforated prune, and willingly pay higher prices.
 The length of time for curing varies according to the degree of humidity in the atmosphere. In Southern Arizo- ma a week would be amply sufficient. In some localities along the Callfor- mia coast and in Oregon differs are necessary. They do not produce so good an article as that dried in the sun
 After dipping or perforation the fruit is spread on trays. which are generally made 3xS feet. and of Ore gon pine for the frames and redwood shakes for the bottoms. The mater lal of the frame should be lx3 inches. The following directions for making the trays are given by prominent grower.
 Make rough table 5x9 feet, and as high as convenience in mailing may require. On this construct a tray holding frame in this manner: Fast en firmly to the tables top two side pieces. 2x3 inches and feet 10 inches long. The inner sides of these pieces should be parallel with the side edges of the table and respectively 1lt inch es from these edges, their ends being respectively inches from the ends of the table. The distance between these pieces is 36f inches. Place two 3-foot end-pieces, 2x3inches, the inner sides of each being respectively 5S in- ches from and parallel with the ends of the table. and the ends of the end pieces on line with the inner sides of the side-pieces, and lB inches from the ends of those pieces. This com pletes the outer portion of the tray holding frame, the dimensions of which are 369 inches by feet inch. being inch larger on both the sides aud ends than a 3xs-foot tray. Put the tray frame into this incomplete tray-holding frame and nail it togeth- CT with eight 2s inch wire nails. The inner portion of this tray-holding frame may be made of 2x2 inch mater ial. Place the two side pieces, feet l0inches long, within of an inch of the inner sides of the tray-framc, and the end-pieces the same distance from the ends. Make the end pieces b in- ehcs long. leaving inches unoccu- pied in the middle of tine tray-holding frame.

a strip of sheet iron one-eighth of an inch thick. The tray-holding frame is then complete. The space to be oc- cupied by the tray-frame is II inches wide. It is well to have it that width as some of the sides and ends of trays are more than an inch thick, besides. if the space were less the work of put ting them in and taking them out could not be done so quickly.
 Make mark in the center of the outside ends sof the tray-holding frame; this will show just where to place the central lath and thus prevent loss of time that would otherwise occur. The unoccupied space along the sides and ends of the table is intended for hold ing nails. Partition this space into four apartments, each the full lengtii of tray-holding frame, to be occupied by nails of as many lengths. The ends will each need one space for nails, which should be as near the ends of the central lath as possible. as it is to contain the nails used in the ends of that lath Use S-inch clout nails in the central lath, except the ends oft; use wire nails there and all other pla- ces. think 2f inch nails for the tray frame: two sizes, U and , inches, for shakes and side lath, are large enough Six nails are required for each six inch shake two at each end and two in the middle
 After the tray frame has been nail ed together with 24-inch nails, put on the l6 shakes required to cover the bottom Fasten these in their places with one li nail at the end of every shake, an inch CT so from the same edge. These nails are large enough. since they are prevented from coming out by the lath being placed over them.
 Use 2-inch nails, or little longer, in putting on the side lath. Drive these nails through the side lath, so as to pass through the shakes about the same distance from the edge as did the It inch nails and directly op- posite them. Next nail the central lath with lf inch nails at each end, taking these nails from receptacle made as near as possible to the place the nails are to be used
 All the other nails used in the cen tral lath should be seyen-eighths inch clout nails, driven at slight or very acute angle If so driven they will clinch themselves on striking the strip of sheet iron. That is the ob- feet of the sheet iron. If not so driv- en, the point may stop when it strikes this iron strip and fail to clinch, thus causing waste of time and nails, be- sides rendering the sheet iron strip worse than useless.
 These trays are filled with fruit and spread on the drying ground
 When properly curedn the prunes are taken up. This condition is de- termined to great extent by exper- fence the experienced curer telling by feeling. The water should be all out of the prmes to the extent that they no longer feel watery ormushy- but soft and still pliable. If trays are in abundant supply so they can be stacked, it is good to do so when the fruit is about two thirds cured and let it finish curing in the stack. The trays are stacked with alternate edg- es projecting, to give free circulation of air.
 When the fruit has been properly cured it is dumped into pile in a close apartment to sweat after
