NOT BAD AFTER ALL
The Damage to Fruit Was Not as
Great as at First Supposed.
SPEAKING OF THE OUTLOOK
The Bitter Root People Have No
Fear But That the Crop VIII
Pan Out Pretty Well
This Year.

Missouiar May 16.--It appears that
the damage 10 fruit by the frost two
weeks ago Is much less than was an
ticipated. In the central portion OF the
Bitter Root valley, where the frost was
heaviest, II was feared that the in
jury to the fruit buds would be serious,
but 1t is now stated that less than 25
per cent of the buds were affected, and
this is rather to the advantage OF the
trees than otherwise. as the danger Of
overbearins is thus partially avoided.
From the reports Of the agricultural
to fruit east OF here was much greater
than in this region. The only orchards
thut suffered here are the ones that
are In sheltered spots. where the warm
sun had forced the buds ahead OF the
season.
In speaking OF the frost Rev. George
Stewart said to-day TO Standard re-
porter: TN Is years experience in
this country I have never known of a
frost that injured the fruit crop. Eiev-
en- years ago we had a heavy frost In
Juno that discouraged the fruit grow
ers very much and caused the croak-
ers to rejoice In the apparent verihca-
ton OF their prediction that this could
never be made a fruit growing coun-
try. In two weeks after the frost. how
ever, IL was found that the orchards
were really In better condition than if
no frost had come, as the percentage
OF buds that had been killed was just
what ought to have been nipped any
way for the sake OF the trees"
Mr.. Stewart is an enthusiast in hor-
ucultural matters and Il is largely due
TO his efforts that the orchards OF this
section are as far advanced as they
are. Years of experience in the Mis-
sissippf valley had given him much
knowledge regarding fruit tree culture.
which he cheerfully impaired to the
men who. 10 years ago, were expert
menting with the orchard business. He
taught them the principles of mulch
ing and also suggested the advantages
OF planting orchards in exposed loca-
tions, where the trees would not be
prematurely forced by the warm spring
sun The most successful orchardists
are those who have followed his in
structions. I'VE have no cold here"
said Mr.. Stewart to-day, that will in
5ure fruit trees. 1t is the early sun
shine that does the harm. II the prop
er artificial conditions are supplied, as
water. mulching and the like, there Is
no standard apple that will not thrive
here. Ten years ago Mr.. Goodhue.
the eminent Minnesota horticulturist.
predicted that three varieties of stand
ard apples would grow here. Now, in
the Bass orchard. there are 80 varie-
ties The same is true OF peaches. II
the trees are held back In the spring

THE WEEKLY CALL.

The current issue of the WEEKLY CALL
carries the high standard of excellence
which characteriZes the paper. The
WEEKLY CALL is prepared with the double
view of giving complete compendium of
the weeks news for coast readers who do
not take the daily and of giving most
valuable array of California's attractions
and resources for the instruction of East
ern and foreign readers. Besides this it
has all the useful and entertaining features
so highly esteemed in homes.
1t would not be possible for any Cali
fornian to furnish his Eastern friends with
SO much satisfying information concern
ing the State as by sending them the
WEEKLY CALL for year. The cost is so
trivial and the benefit conferred so great
that such a gift to friend at a distance
would be both sensible and graceful. Every
Californian should remember, further, that
it is his duty to- spread the good news of
the delights which accompany residence
in California, and that the WEEKLY CALL
presents the best, cheapest and easiest
means for accomplishing that end.
