Thus the profits at the sixth year
and first crop equal half the cost of
land, planting and five years culture.
Then the crop will double and treble
itself until, in the tenth year, a tree
will yield eight to ten boxes of fruit,
and at that time some trees will miss
and the crop will then be at an an
nual average of 10000 boxes, yielding
a gross income of 5000, and a net i'll
come of at least $4,000 per annum, or
SO per acre. This is very certain
and Gems ,rvative estimate.
In stating the cost of the first five
years. cultivation, and making charge
IF $3.50 per annum, no allowance was
made for filling and growing small
vegetable crops in the rows during the
first three years, which is usually done,
and these crops usually pay more than
the cost of cultivation of the orchard,
and often yield a handsome profit.
The best crops to raise | found to be:
First year, corn, planting four rows
between a tree row, harvested that
way thirty bushels per acre, and sold
at so cents per bushel; the second and
third years, white navy beans, which
would yield about 1000 pounds per
acre, selling at y cents. In this man
ner the ground paid all costs of cultiva-
ton of the planted and gowing trees,
consequently leaving no charge what
ever against the orchard excepting
the land"

THE indications now are that it is
only question of time when the bellig-
erent rights of the Cubans will be rec
ognized by the United States. AS to
the time, however, the chances are
that it will not come until Cuban indie
pendence shall have been practically
achieved, as the conditions there do
not seem to be such as to warrant the
establishment and maintenance of a
provisional government by the liberty
loving people who are seeking to throw
Oft the tyrannous Spanish yoke.

THE ISLANDER hopes that the farm
ers may be induced to take some inter-
est in the effort which a few public
spirited citizens are now making to or
ganize county board of trade, or immi-
grafton society. They cannot afford to
be indifferent and apathetic in the mat
ter, for no class of citizens would profit
more by the establishment of new en-
terprises and the influx of new settlers
with means sufficient to purchase lands
and live stock and build comfortable
homes. Every merchant in the county
also should attend the meeting on
March 9th for which call is published
in another column. The advantages of
increase of population by immigration
are too obvious to require repeated emu
meration. The merchants would profit
very materially by such increase and
they can well afford to take a promi-
nent part in any movement calculated
to bring it about. Whatever the name
of the organization there should be all
executive committee representing
every voting precinct in the county, to
insure fair and impartial representa-
ton of all sections. Thus distributed
it will be easy, if the committeeman dc
their duty, to obtain all the data neces.
sary for the compilation of reliable de-
scriptive and statistical matter, which
the board, or society, whatever it is
called, must be prepared to furnish.
There is no time to waste if we would
obtain our share of the immigration
which is likely to come to the state OF
Washington this year.

The Official Paper Of San Juan County
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9th, 1896.

A FEW weeks ago THE ISLANDER
published an interesting commuhica
ton from Mr.. Geo. Gibbs, of Orcas, on
the subject of chicory raising, in which
he had just completed very successful
experiment The editor had the pleas
ure of visiting Mr.. Gibbs fine place IN
June last, few days after the chIcory
bed was planted, and he cOnfesses to
some astonishment that so large q
yield-35O pounds of the dried product,
not rOasted-was obtained from SO
small tract, only One-twentieth OF an
acre. This is at the rate of 1000 pounds
or three and one-half tons, per acre.
Roasted, ready for use aa beverage, 1t
sells at retail on the Sound at ten cents
for single pound. 1t would appear
therefore that if its use were more gen
eral its production should be quite
profitable. It's use really is much more
general than is commonly supposed,
for it constitutes a considerable part of
the cheaper grade of coffee. 1t has i'll
itself pleasant taste, very similar to
coffee, and if less stimulating than cof-
fee is probably less injurious. On the
continent of Europe 1t is regarded as a
healthful drink, possessing special viz
tues as sedative, tonic and diuretic.
In Holland, Belgium, France and Ger
many, and in Yorkshire, in England,
1t is cultivated quite extensively, but it
has never yet been raised to any extent
in this country. In addition to its use
as beverage, either independently or
as an adulterant of coffee, it is grown
i'm some parts of Europe as a fodder or
heritage plant, which is greatly liked
by cattle. In Belgium the fresh roots
are boiled and eaten with butter, and
in all the countries mentioned both the
roots and leaves are used as salads. Mr.
Gibbs, who is an enthusiastic and sue
cessful Xperimentalist, has undoubted-
ly fully demonstrated the entire adapt
ability of our soil and climate to the
successful production Of chicory, and
those of our farmers who see fit to give
its culture an equally fair trial, even
upon considerably smaller scale, can
at least provide for themselves and
their families a pleasant and healthful
beverage, as well as salad plant, .sith-
out any outlay of money except a few
cents for seeds.

FRITZ VERSUS GRAIN.
Relative Cost and Profit OF Pr0duc'
tiOn i'm Eastern Washington.

A recent number of the American
Agriculturist contains an excellent
article by Mr.. F. A. English, showing
the relative cost and profit of fruit and
grain raising in what is known as the
"Palouse Country" in this state.
That locality may well be termed
the "brcad basket of the northwest,
so enormous is its wheat production.
1t is also we'll adapted to fruit raising
and especially so to apples and peaches.
A fairer comparison, therefore, OF the
relative advantages of fruit and grain
production in this state could hardly
be made In respect to fruit the con-
ditions here in this county are more
favorable than they are Ill Eastern
Washington on account OF our better
and cheaper facilities for transp0rta-
ton and better home markets. People
not familiar with this section of the
state, however, should be advised that
the cost of preparing land for cultiva-
ton here is very much greater than
il is on the rolling, treeless prairles of
the Palouse, of which Mr.. English
says:
at costs about % cents a bushel to
raise wheat in this section if one hires
everything done If he himself farms
he would earn a share of the wages
paid, and that would be enough to pay
for his living and the expenses of rum
ming the farm. If he has family he will
not raise all wheat, consequently the
gross income will likely be 1000 BUSH
els of wheat less than the following
estimate, based on actual results and
years of experience, but he will raise
other things to support his family in
place of the wheat:
