The Worlds Potatoes.

According to the New York Tribune
the worlds potato crop averages about
three billion bushels per year, or at
least $50, GOO, 900 bushels more than the
wheat crop of the world. The Tribune
divided the potato crops of different
countries as follows: Germany, 7s4, Co.,.
600 bushels; Russia, 521 ,OO0, 900; France,
1856 200, 600; Austria, 2S5, 900 900; United
States, 200, 100000 bushels. The Cali
fornia Fruit Grower says that the Tri-
bune has somewhat overstated the crop
of the United States which, for the past
fifteen years, including the present,
has averaged 1s5, 600, 900 bushels. The
crop in this country has never equaled
200, 600, 900 bushels except for five crops
as follows: That of 1888, 208, OO0, 900
bushels; 1888, 2O2, 200, 900 bushels; 1889,
2ls, OOO, 600; 1891, 25O,OOO,O 900 and 1895,
282, OOO,0 900 bushels. These figures are
taken from official sources and are
doubtless correct.

The WoOlly Aphis.

Immediately after the fruit has been
gathered is the best time to attack the
woolly aphis on bearing fruit trees. The
station at Berkely, Cali, has demon
strated that the Bordeaux mixture, ar
senited, was a good destroyer of these
pests. 1t can be used according to FORM
ula of pounds blue-stone, 10 pounds
lime, IS gallons water, and if Paris green
is added the amount should be ounces
Il pound.
The most effective remedy used in the
orchards Of Washington last year was the
lime, sulphur and salt. This spray
should be thoroughly boiled and pre-
pared, and used as early as possible after
fruit-picking.
Double strength of the quassia and soap
solution is one of the best remedies fOr
woolly aphis during foliage season. The
formula is one pound quassia chips, one
pound soap to four gallons water, pre-
pared in the same manner as for the gem
eral solution. The sprays should be d.
rected on the stems Of the treea - much
as possibIe.-Northwest Horticulturist.

The Fish Commissioners Report.

The state fish commissioners report
for 1895 gives the total pack of the
Myers cannery at Seattle at $4,000
cases, 1.-THE largest pack ever made by
one cannery in the state.' The pack
of the Alaska Packing Association at
Point Roberts is reported at So, lis
cases: that of the National Packing
company at Port Angeles at $4,000
cases, and of Island Packing company
here 10000 cases. The ISLANDER Is
informed that at the Myers cannery a
large number of humpbacked salmon
were packed, but as they are very
much inferior in quality to the sock
ewes the other cannerymen didn't pack
them. 1t is probable that the pack OF
the cannery here is understated. For
some reaeon the company objects to
giving the true figures for publication
but they have been reported as high as
&c. 900 cases. The commissioner reports
that the revenue from licenses was
s5.610, which was used 10 promote

artificial propagation. OF the $4,000
appropriated by the last legislature for
the establishment of fish hatcheries
S7,077 has been expended, principally
in the erection of hatchery on the
Kalama river, tributary of the Co
lumbia, with capacity of 100000
young salmon annually, and there are
now in the hatchery 100000 chinook
salmon in various stages Of develop
ment. On the Chinook river, Pacific
county, a station has been built for
taking and cycling salmon spawn.
Nothing has yet been done toward the
establishment of hatchery in any
river tributary to Puget Sound.

TO GROW FLAX.
A Colony Of HOllanders to Begin A New
Industry on WILDLY Island.

Industry on WILDLY Island.
There is an excellent prospect that
Washington will soon demonstrate
more fully even than ever before the
fitness of it's soil for fax culture. The
effort is to be made by colony Of Hol-
landers, who are to be brought out
from their native land and located Oh
WILDLY island. The party is to be in
charge ofiK. A. Bottema, who left Fri
day night on the Great Northern over
land, bound for Europe, where he will
make up the colony and return to this
country.
Mr.. Bottema will be accompanied as
far as st. Paul by r. E. Workman,
who is also to bring party of immi-
grants to this city, bound for WILDLY
island. He expects to return with
them during the first week of the new
year.
Advocates of state immigration
society are inclined to view the move
ment Of immigrants at the present
time as forerunner of many thrifty
settlers to come during the next year.

WHEN WE WORKED OUR TAX OUT

Oh, our life was tough and fearful. and
its toll was often fearful,
And often we grew faint beneath the
load;
But there came a glad vacation and
sweet alienation,
When we used to work our tax out on
the road.
When we used to work our tax out then
we felt the joys Of leisure,
And we felt no mere the prick Of labor's
goad
Then we shared the golden treasure Of
sweet rest in fullest measure
When we used to work our tax out ON
the road.
There are sapient seers and sages who
predict, in coming ages,
Life's tragedy of labor will be DER.
And glad full-fiedged millennium will
leap on the proscenium,
And Wen play, but never labor any
more.
But we look not in the future for that
happy, halcyon hour
When Well throw off every burden,
every load;
For our Eden burst in flower, and we
dozed in leisure's bower.
When we used to work our tax out on
the road.
When we used to work our tax out GfI
let the bottom facts QUIT
We had somnolent contentment and
repose.
With no toll or work to cumber US our
rest is sweet and slumberous
And in deep, delicious dreaming did
we doze.
The drowsiness Of languid rest DER every
man was creeping,
And in a calm, serene content we all
threw down our load;
Careless of life's wall and weeping, every
blessed man was sleeping,
When we used to work our tax out on
the road.
