make it a great field of operation

phosphoric acid, potash and nitro

planned above, and new feeding
aground must be provided by
breaking up the underlying hard
pan.
Mr.. Richardson has an apple or
chard Of IS acres near La Grande,
now four years old, which yielded
500 boxes of most excellent fruit
this year, which is considered an
off year on all kinds of fruits.
The entire Snake River dis
trict, both Oregon and Idaho
sides, is susceptible TO irrigation
by the waters from Snake River
itself, but easier obtained from
MaIheur, Owyhee, Boise, Pay
cite and Weiser rivers, several
large canals being now in use for
the orchards and alfalfa fields
planted under their lines. Irri-
cation, however, does not seem
TO be thoroughly understood, for
we found nearly all the feeding
roots close to the surface which
would indicate too much irriga-
ton on the one hand, and not
cultivation enough on the other,
and we reached the conclusion
that if the hardpan was thorough
ly dynamited to allow the water
to percolate through, much less
irrigation would be necessary,
and by thorough and frequent
cultivation the roots would be
forced down, making healthier,
stronger, longer-lived trees, and
less susceptible to diseases.
Owing to the entire absence of
apple scab and pearblight, which
is no doubt due to the lighter,
drier atmosphere, we are Of, the
opinion that the growing Of win
ter apples, and especially winter
pears would be most profitable,
as the latter can be grown only
with difficulty west of the Cas-
cade mountains. The demand
for winter fruits is very large
and increasing, and the soils of
the Eastern Oregon valleys and
Snake River region seem special
ly adapted for apple and pear
culture. It is essential, however,
to select such varieties as mature
late, say the last Of October or
early in November, for fruits
which mature during the hot
weather will not keep, as the
fruit juices are warm when the
fruit is picked, and will ferment
and soon decay; but such fruit as
ripen when the cool season has
set in will keep we'll, and have
excellent shipping qualities. We
would particularly recommend
the planting Of such varieties as
will stand ocean transportation, to
supply the ever increasing de-
mand for our fine apples and
pears in the markets of England
Germany and France, and from
now on the rapidly developing
Oriental trade. In the foothills,
however, especially about Cove
in the Grand Ronde Valley, we
find the seasons very short, hence
such varieties should be selected
which come to maturity rapidly,
in order to make it profitable.
Another fruit adapted for that
region is the Italian prune. The
trees now in bearing seem strong
and healthy, and the fact of their
ripeniug late in the season-in
fact, after all prunes of Western
Oregon and California have long
been consumed, give them a spe-
cial market value as n fresh fr,;t

Report Of The Oregon tsoArd Of HOrti-
culture Many Things Of Interest
And Importance.
Editor IF TRIDuNE

Fruit section, we made the Jour :
ney and extended our investiga-
tons into the Snake River region,
both Oregon and Idaho sides.
The primary reason for going as
far as tie Boise Valley was to
look into the economic aspect of
horticulture under entirely differ
ent soil and climate conditions
from those prevailing in the Will
annette Valley.
The Snake River, extending
from Huntington to Mountain
home, a distance Of some $50
miles, belongs to the arid region,
with a light soil, and heretofore
was considered WORTHLESS, but UNI
der irrigation it has blossomed
out most wonderfully. Some
$1,000 acres have been planted
in fruit Of various kinds, and up
to now the trees have made good
growth and produced good crops.
Ne have found that in this en-
tire region the top soil is under
laid with a strata of hardpan, i'm
pervious to water or roots. This
top soil varies from 6 inches to 8
feet in depth, and the thickness
of this strata Of hardpan is from 8
inches to IS inches. Underneath
this hardpan is a grayelly loan,
rich in plant food, but not availa-
bic at the present on account of
this hhardpan. Had the orchard
lists Of this region examined into
this soil condition, and adopted
the advice given by this Board,
for years past, by dynamiting the
soil, thus SCATTERING the hardpan
and allowing roots and water to
so down, they would not now be
confronted with the problem they
are. The trees planted on this
light, shallow soil have about used
up all Tire plant food, and in con-
sequdnce stopped growing, and
5000 viii cease to bear fruit-the
roots have spread out on tad sur
face, and are therefore liable to
injury from freezing, and the
trees become loose and easily
thrown over by the strong winds.
The only remedy now is to bore
a hole into the hardpan, between
the rows of trees, and dynamite
it, which will materially assist the
feeding root TO go down, and pro-
long the life of these trees. How
ever, all Of this should have been
done prior to planting. We are
also of the opinion that if the soil
is properly dynamited irrigation
viii be more perfect, at the water
gill go down easier, and in con-
sequence will require less irriga-
ton and more cultivation, and
bring up the water from below
by capillary attraction. That this
theory is correct is evidenced by
the fact that wherever it has been
tried il has proven successful.
Mr.. ]. S. D. Meanwhile, Of Boise,
dynamited his soil with good eff
feet. Mr.. David Dunbar, near
Vale, MalAeur County, planted
an orchard, but did not do we'll
the trees grew slowly and were
continually blown over. After
five years Of experimenting his
hired man, who had read cur re-
ports suggested dynamiting, which
and planted an orchard
alongside the oldones, are strong,
healthy and bear abundant crops
Of fruit. In view Of such conchs.
i've object lessons, it seems 10 us
that intelligent, progressive hor-
titnlturists would not be slow in
adopting the methods suggested.
One of The most remarkable OBJ
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-12-30

the facilities for it are limited, but
will develop no doubt as occa-
sion Demands. In the Grande
Ronde valley prunes, and espe-
cially cherries, mature even later
than in the Snake River country
and at time when such fruits
are sought after, and would there
fore make most profitable crop
10 grow.
The choice for apples so for
planted is Ben Davis, Wolf River,
Jonathan, Golden Reinette, Gano,
Rome Beauty, York Imperial
and Shackleford. In pears we
would suggest Winter Nellis,
Beurre Easter, Tall Butter, Bour-
re d'Anjou, aud Doyenne du
Comice-all excellent fruits, good
keepers, and commanding the
highest market prices.
In the X. S. & D. 200 acre or
chard near Ontario we were
shown a number of apple trees
all Of one variety, the young
growth of which was severely in
jured by last February's freeze,
which checked its growth COM
pletely, though not all in one
place, and not touching other va
rieties alongside, and as this is
the second time it occurred it
would be we'll to watch them
closely, and possibly remove
them for others, as they would
not be profitable to grow.
Speaking of frosts, we learned
that it was impossible to locate
any spot exempt from it, but all
orchards are not always injured,
as the blooming varies materially
even in orchards close to each
other. Frosts, however, seldom
do any damage, except during
pollization; after the fruit is set it
will stand quite freeze. Mr.,
Mcpherson tells us that often in
spring fruit and leaves are frozen
stiff, but for some unknown reas-
on they generally thaw out with
out injury.
OF insects there are the San
Jose scale, green aphis and red
spider, which, however, are easily
controlled now by applying reme-
dies given by our Bulletin and
Reports; but the by far greatest
enemy is the Goblin Moth, of
which they have some three and
one-hsslf broods per season, owing
no doubt, to the warm nights,
which prevail during the season.
The band system is used extern
sively, and spraying followed
religiouly, but the best results
have only been obtained by those
who persistently watched and ex-
amined the band every week, as
the larvae develops in about that
period, and sprayed almost con-
tinuously, many growers going
over their orchards twice and
three times in succession when
the apple has attained the size of
of a hazelnut and before the caylx
closes, SO as to fill this place full
of poison for any Goblin moth |
larvae which may find its way
there, the usual point of attack,
many orchardists going so far as
to pick off all Wormv fruit.
We further found that along |
the foothills of the Grande Ronde |
Valley, notable near Cove, the
Goblin moth has not obtained a |
toothold, very few apples there
being wormy. This is no doubt
to the cool nights
prevailing there the year around. |
