land ranch, has planted this spring
about 100 fine fruit trees. He pro
poses to put the better part of his
100 acres in fruit trees. He says
there is more profit and less labor
in fruit than in general farming,
especially on the benches.
There is a ready market for all
the fruit that can be raised near at
home Excellent prices can always
be had. The demand for fruit
of home raising by the British
Columbia countries adjacent to
Idaho was far greater last year
than the supply.
Mr.. Charles Kunz an expert in
horticulture from Wisconsin is now
looking this country over with a
view to locating nursery. He
says this is one of the very best
fruit countries he has seen any
where, and will begin work as soon
as he finds suitable ranch. He
believes the ranchers will go more
extensively into the fruit business
than ever before. He proposes to
raise his stock, when possible, from
the seed. He argues that such
stock will do better than foreign
stock.

KOOTENAI VALLEY FOR FRUIT.
Fruit Culture is a Success here as has
been Demonstrated.

valley as fruit country are begin
ming to be realized. This branch of
husbandry has until recently been
very much neglected. From actu
al trial it is now known that there
is no spot in the entire Bonner's
Ferry region where the larger and
smaller variety of fruits cannot be
successfully raised. Apples, pears,
peaches, prunes, plums, grapes
gooseberries, currents, raspberries,
blackberries, and Strawberries are
found to do as well here as any 9TH
er place in the Northwest. Trees
planted few years ago, both in
the valley and on the uplands, are
at the present time looking healthy
and in as a rule are laden with
blossoms. The peach trees prom
Use to be very prolific. The prune
is another crop which is sure to be
profitable in a few years. The
adaptability of the soil and climate
to the culture of strawberries will
not allow question. Where the
grape vine has been planted the
signs are very reassuring for good
results.
The present spring has witnessed
great deal of activity in this line.
The ranchers begin to see they can
not do wiser thing than to set
out orchards at once. 1t is the
cheapest and best way to provide
an income for the future and add
to the value of the ranch.
Some of the more notable orch
ards in the valley should be seen
Just at this time. One of the Oldest
is that of Com. Arthur Ball
about eight miles from town. 1t is
five years old and is beautifully
located on a hill overlooking the
Kootenai river. The apples grown
on the trees of this orchard were
displayed in town last year. They
were solid and crisp and very large,
equal to the best imported ones.
Mr.. Ball has about 200 trees. The
peach trees are now in full bloom.
The income from his orchard will
be considerable this year.
Another ranch in the valley
where fruit trees are giving proof
of what has been said is owned by
Mr.. T. w. Mclaughlin. This
ranch is few miles this side of the
Ball ranch. McLaughlin's atten-
ton has been mostly devoted to the
culture of berries. His black berry
and strawberry crops last year were
very profitable. With an increased
acreage he expects very much larg
er profit the coming season. The
= strawberries were as large as any tC
be seen, and possessed most de
licus flavor.
Mr.. Arthur E. Bunting is anoth
er who has a good start in fruit
His trees are loaded with bloom
and he will no doubt have quite
crop of apples, pears and plum
this year. He has large space .
:. ground devoted to smaller fruit
which are doing fine. Mr.. Buntin
has an exceptionally fine ranch
\ and the adornments Mrs. Buntin
has added with her plants an
flowers make theirs a delightful
}. place.
