Prof N O. Booth, of Pullman, and [ gave
our attention to the various phases OF hortl-
culture, while Dr. S. B. Nelson, of Pullman,
and G.. L. Smith, of Minnesota, took up other
departments of work in which the farmers
are interested. The two professors from
Pullman and Smith of Minnesota are all
very competent men and did most excellent
work in these Institutes Prof. Booth lee
tured on the planting of orchards and prun-
ing while to me was assigned 'Orchardlng
for Profit and the 'Codling Moth" Prof
Booth is very competent man and gave us
some splendid lectures. In talking on prun-
ing he showed the nature Of tree growth and
made it very plain why certain kinds OF
pruning should be done and why certain
kinds should not be done. To me his lee
lures were both instructive and entertaining.
He is a most genial companion for such
work as that in which we were engaged. DR..
Nelson, who is at the head Of the veterinary
department of Pullman College, is an author
ity on the diseases of stock. His lectures
we're very valuable to the farmers who at
tended these Institutes. G. L. Smith is thor
oughly informed on soil cultivation, balanced
rations in feeding stock and all kindred sub
jects He delivered fine lecture on ''Home
Making. LII. NolSOu gave dill ILLUSTRATED
lecture on the progress that has been made
in Washington since the days when the pi-
oneers entered this country to the present
time, ending with many fine stereopticon
views of Pullman College. The fruit growers
were naturally very much interested in the
subjects of fruit growing for profit and in
sect pests These pests have not yet done
much harm in that part of the state, but the
wide-awake Orchardists realize that this will
not always be the case. To be forewarned
is to be forearmed It is to be hoped that
what was said will, therefore, be of benefit
to those people,
The Wenatchee valley is already famous
as fruit growing region. This is, to some
extent, true of the country around Lake Che
Ian. Along the Columbia river from
Wenatchee to Chelan Falls, distance of
something like forty miles, there are many
small orchards, and they look well, and the
fruit is fine This whole region is destined
to be great fruit growing country and es-
pecially for what is known as fancy fruit.
That is the kind that brings the largest re-
turns It will pay the people of Wenatchee
and all along the Columbia river to turn their
attention to the growing of the higher grades
of apples. The cheaper grades, such as Ben
Davis and Missouri Pippin, may well be
turned over to less favored sections. 1t is
said that peaches do well anywhere in that
region and do not often kill with the spring
frosts. If this is so, then peach growing will
pay large returns The apples that were
shown were as fine as I ever saw. IF there
was any difference, the apples shown at Che
Ian were somewhat in the lead for high color

James Toms, of Sunnyside, Wash, writes
under date Of October 16 to know about the
necessity of cultivating orchards where the
soil is loose. He says that Sunnysde land
drifts badly when cleaned and cultivated.
Doubtless less cultivation is needed in such
soils than in those where the soil is more
compact. Our experience in the same val
ley, but some twenty miles further up, is
that when we put water on the land and
cultivated it thoroughly, it ceases to drift
In most cases cultivation and water cause
our loose soils to become very much irmer.
Only by experimenting in each locality can
such matters be settled properly. Ii the
soil will not drift, I would follow each irrl-
cation with cultivation. I would not stir
the soil deeply, but thoroughly pulverize the
surface | know no instrument equal to the
Acme harrow for that purpose. The disc
harrow, followed by the Acme, puts orchard
soils in the finest condition imaginable.
A. A. Wright, of Mission, Wash, writes
the editor of these notes as follows:

swarm of crows will descend and destroy the sea-
sons product 1t is also represented that in an
orchard of any extent the vigilance of one person
is useless and to safeguard such premises sew
eral persons would have to be employed so that
the profits of the orchardist in any event is at the
vanishing point. The damage wrought by the
crows consists not only in the amount of fruit
consumed, but in that they des roy by peck1ng
and breaking down the limbs Of the trees on which
they settle by hundreds at time. This state of
affairs is justly considered by those fruit growers
who are the chief sufferers by these pests to be in
tolerable and they have asked that the govern
ment come to their assistance by devsing some
plan for the abatement of the evil. Poisoning has
been tried, as has shooting but although many
are destroyed by these means their numbers do
not seem to be sensiby diminished and they are
wary that soon as they discover that death
awaits them in any particular spot they avoid it
for the time being, only to return in greater
numbers as soon as vigilance is relaxed. bounty

lated above, it would not seem that such course

I am, therefore, directed by the honorable, the

THE ILLS OF LIFE.

One can scarce pick up book now
a-days, but that on some page can be
found illustrations of bugs, proto
plasms, germs, microbes, baccili, etc
which reminds us forcibly of the ques-
ton propounded by the late Bill Nye:
"Whither are we drifting, and if so tc
what extent?" The ills of life sum up
something like this:
Drink water and get typhoid.
Drink milk and get tuberculosis.
Drink whiskey and get the iimiams.
Drink soup and get Bright's disease.
Eat meat and encourage apoplexy. Eat
oysters and acquire taxema. Eat veg
etables and weaken the system. Eat
desert and take to paresis. Smoke ci-
garettes and die early. Smoke cigars
and get catarrh. Drink coffee and OBJ
tain nervous prostration. Drink wine
and get the gout. In order to be en-
tirely healthy one must eat nothing,
drink nothing, smoke nothing, and
even before breathing one. should see
hat The air Is properly sterilized.

THE PENALTY OF SUCCESS.

The man who accomplishes things
in this world necessarily makes ene-
mics. All mediocrity rises against
him. His achievements are minimiz
ed, and his failures magnified-but his
plans are stolen and his methods adop.
ted without credit. Where it is not
possible to do this, vituperation, ridi
cule and malice are employed to de-
tract attention from the plain evidence
of lack of ability on the part of those
who mouth their spleen. Criticism is
easier than accomplishment, but a
sheer is a poor substitute for deeds
done. The primitive man who first
demonstrated the feasibility of making
skin clothing for himself probably had
to encounter the derision of his denser
minded tribe just as his later brethren
had to undergo like experience when
they began to make civilization posi-

breath for renewed effort, while they

acts while they hesitate; he works
while they wait. That is why there il
always one man in a community who
is conspicuous by contrast, and why
also, there IS always one interest, one

fallen far short of the mark. He would
not have escaped criticism even then
for failure is fertile field of malicious

that it does not make much differenc,
what we do in this world, as long as i
is honest. We cannot escape the critic
but we at least confuse him by maxim:

The Democrats of Ohio, Nebraska,
Colorado, having reaAirmed the Kan
sas City platform, are held up as exam
pies for the National Democracy to
follow. In 1900, Ohio gave Mckinley
a plurality of 69,O36, Nebraska gave
him plurality of 1922, while Colora-
do gave Bryan plurality of %, 661. It
would seem that the position of the
Democrats in these states offers little
encouragement when the time comes
to count the votes, and it takes votes
to elect national ticket. Colorado,
with silver out of declaration, is lust
