Mr.. Moody, a successful fruit grow
er in western New York, states that
he finds great profit in thinning fruit.
On his peach trees he had fewer spec
linens but more fruit, and the crop
sold at $3.50 per bushel, while fruit
that was not thinned was drug on
the market at 81 to SO cents. At the
Geneva, New York, experiment sta
ton, in 1896, the thinned fruit was all
first-class, especially when thinned to
four inches apart. Scarcely any sort
ing was necessary and being highly
colored and of the highest quality
the fruit sold on sight and was in
good demand. Where the apples were
thinned to six inches, the fruit was no
finer but more fruit buds were form

Importance of Thinning Fruit.

sity of thinning was emphasized dur
ing the season of 1896. This work
must be done in order to save the
strength of the tree and improve the
size and quality Of the apples. With
apples more than with any other kind
is this true, for nearly all of the
larger fruits produce at intervals i'm
mense quantities of bloom and set an
abnormal crop of fruit. If this is al
lowed to mature, the trees will be so
badly exhausted that it will require
several years for recovery and in adj
dition the fruit will be small and of
poor quality.
In case of this kind thinning can
be resorted to with profit. To one
who has never thinned fruit, the work
may seem impracticable in that the
cost of thinning will be greater than
any benefit derived from it. This,
however, is not true, as has been dem
onstrated by many practical growers,
and particularly by the Massachusetts
experiment station during 1896. The
tests made with Gravenstein apples
were hardly satisfactory, as this varie-
ty dropped it's fruit prematurely last
season. However, even with this
drawback it was shown that there
was considerable profit in thinning
fruit. In one case the fruit from
tree properly thinned brought 1888
more than that from the same tree
48 cents, which left net profit of
1885, In another test, in which the
Tetofsly apple was the variety select
ed, the thinned fruit sold for $1.2O
more than that not thinned. The
cost of thinning was 35 cents, leaving
a net profit of IS cents in favor of
thinning.
Mr.. S. d. Willard, the noted New
York orchardist, emphasizes the ne
cessity of this practice, applying it
not only to apples, but to peaches,
plums and other tree fruits. He states
that it is an invariable practice in
his orchards and he has never omitted
it. He finds that the work can be
more quickly done than is usually
supposed, and boys, if properly
taught, can do it as well as men.
When the trees are headed low, the
thinning is not so difficult as where
the fruit is a long distance from the
ground.
Mr.. w. w. Stevens, a most success
full farmer and fruit grower of south
ern Indiana, says, 81 believe that not
one orchardist in a hundred attends
to the thinning of fruit as it should
be done. The Importance of this item
in the care of an orchard is not
thought of by the average fruit grow
err, but few experiments or some OBJ
servations in this line will convince
anyone of the necessity of practicing
it regularly when the aim is to pro-
duce the very BEST 1t is not only the

Help the Cause.

1t should require no argument to
convince any resident of Wasco county
that it would be to the general advan-
tage of all concerned to have the Cas-
cade timber reserve thrown open as q
rapge on which live stock can be
either herded or allowed to run at
large, since stock raising is one of the
principal industries, and when it is
crippled in any way all other industries
must suffer. But there are people in
other sections of the state who are OPP
posed to the ranging of stock on the
reserve, and they will oppose the
adopted by the legislature of mem
orial to congress asking the OPEN
ing of the Cascade reserve. Their
fore it will be necessary that more
than an ordinary effort be put forth in
order that such memorial be passed. In
short a delegation from this county
should be sent to Salem to labor for
the memorial, and that delegation can
not be expected to pay their own ex-
penses. A move is now on foot to
raise fund for this purpose, and all
who are interested in perpetuating the
stock business should swell the fund
by liberal contributions.

A Pioneer Wedding.

There was once a time in Oregon
when the male inhabitants mostly wore
buckskin trousers, because there was
no other material available for gar
matchmaking. Oregon's climate, of
course, is damp, and buckskin once
wet shrinks frightfully in drying. This
reminds an old pioneer of this city, of
the first wedding he ever went to in
Oregon. He said:
SIT occurred in the winter, at Ore
gon City, and was either in December,
1845, or January, 1876. The bride
walked two miles through the mud to
get to the church. She was arrayed in
white when she started from home,
but when she appeared at the church
her gown was sadly bedraggled.
The groom wore buckskiu pants. Once
they had been wet. but at the wedding
they were dry. They bagged at the
knees, until there was room inside for
swarm of bees, but they failed to
reach his shoe tops. They ended some
where about the calf OF his legs, and
the groom wore no socks. 1t was
strange costume for the chief con-
tractor at a wedding, but the groom
was undaunted. His name was Sharp,
and the name of the bride was Edes.
Though they were welded in unsightly
suits, it is presumed that they lived
happily until the husband, years after
ward, killed man and went to the
penitentiary, and the wife married an.
other man."

RAINED BLACK BUGS.
A Section of Klickitat County Covered
With Insects,

A Section of Klickitat County Covered
With Insects.
John Splawn, who resides in the
HOg-heaven country, in IKlickita,
county, was in the city yesterday and
reported a peculiar shower of black
bugs just beyond the Curtis place.
Before reIching the vicinity where
the insects were falling he noticed the
atmosphere ahead was filled with what
appeared to be dark fog, and that
the egroundwas uncommonly black. On
proceeding little further he observed
the ground was covered with miriads
of creeping insects about the size OF
ordinary grains of powder, and in
places they we're piled up to the depth
of two inches. He could scrape them
up by the handful, and they appeared
to be lively little fellows resembling
louise in form, though they were jet
black in color. -7- q.
What the little insects are or where
they came from is a mystery. Such a
shower was never before heard of in
this vicinity, though it does sometimes
rain frogs and horned toads, but black
lice, as Mr.. Splawn calls them, are un-
usual visitors. 1t might be we'll for
some of our scientists to visit the
locality where they were discovered,
and exert their bugological wits to de-
termine what they are.
