prefer to plant closer, part of the trees to be
cut out later, but in most cases the planter
fails to cut the superhuous trees out at the
right time. [ have heard this plan advo-
Gated by many persons, but I would feel
perfectly safe i'll offering a reward for
photograph of a man who has had the nerve
to cut out apple trees as soon as they should
come out. Farmers just simply wont do it.
They try to get just one more crop, and tn
always leave the work until too late"
How far should trees be planted apart?
That depends on what kind of trees are to
be planted and the kind of soil in which the
planting is to be done. Pear, peach cherry,
prune and plum trees should be planted
closer than apple trees. Some kinds of apple
trees spread more than others and should
be planted further apart. To lay down an
iron-c1ad rule as to how far apple trees
should be apart in the orchard is about as
foolish as the old question, "How long
should mans legs be?" Some members
of congress are reported to have once dis
cussed this question, privately of course,
and not being able to agree submitted the
question to President Lincoln. Mr.. Lincoln
is reported to have gravelv answered:

Who presses for irrigation in the arid re-
gions? Not the inhabitants of those regions,
surely, for they are few and uninfuential.
Moreover, present occupants are inclined to
view with disfavor any movement in the di
dectlOn of settling the country and blowing
up the range. Large private interests thrive
upon the use of wide areas of public domain.
Cultivation of the land means reduction in
the open range, which is already overcrowd
ed with livestock. Therefore the strictly
local influences are many times opposed
rather than favorable to operations having
for their object the settlement and cultiva-
ton of the soil. They do not cry to Con-
gress for the "re1ief." The handspring of
reclamation agitation is in the trade centers
in the large cities of the Mississippi Valley
and the railroads that connect them with the
arid regions Those interests see what is to
be gained bv making the "desert" blossom
and bear fruit They see that the ordinary
agencies or methods of development will
not meet the case. They press for Congress
sona1 aid and rouse local interest And the
movement, once started, soon acquires mo-
mentum enough to carry it to success 1t is
at heart a campaign for extension of COM
merce. It's origin is in the commercial cen
tiers. Irrigation congresses are controlled
by delegations from cities ambitious for new
markets. And while they agitate they or
ganize. and without their work reclamation
of arid domain would be slow and expensive
business. The struggle for trade is not ig
noble and the world would be more fortu-
nate that it is if all development move
ments had at their root as worthy motive
as that which actuates the irrigation causes.

Just the time to read up on horticulture.
But what shall I read? Read the agricul-
tural papers, read the Year Book of the De-
partment of Agriculture, read the Bulletins
of the Experiment stations and those issued
by the Department of Agriculture. How
shall I secure this reading matter? Sub
scribe for the papers. They are not ex
pensive. We aim to make The Ranch "a
valuable means of obtaining information on
the subject of horticulture. The other pub

departments of fruit growing. They are all

One thing the inexperienced fruit grower
must be cautious about and that is the ped
d1ers who are selling "dopes' of one kind
and another to kill insects and make trees
healthy. There may be some of these
"dopes" that are good but none of them
have ever come nv way. One ingredient
seems to be in all of them. and that is Con-
centrated Lie. wonder if the fellows who
lie so much about the merits Of these COM

of these compounds claiming that it will
destroy all kinds of insects. show him the

is no panacea for the ills that beset trees
any more than there is for the ills of hui

better, then the fool killer has not done his
duty.

Horticultural Notes
BY F. Walden

Did you read that excellent paper by Pres
ident Bryan in the last issue of The Ranch?
If not, then hunt it up and read it, or you
will miss something good. Such views of
rural life will do much good Many young
people see nothing on the farm but hard
work and disagreeable surroundings. Make
home beautiful and the surroundings pleas
ant and not SO many of Our sons and daugh-
tiers will drift to the cities. If more of our
leading educators would do what the presi-
dent of Washington Agricultural College is
doing there would be an awakening to the
charming side of farm life and vastly more
of Our young people would return to the
country at the end of their school days, in
stead of drifting into the congested cities.
Give lis some more along that line, Bro.
Bryan
1t has been hoped that by means of gov
eminent aid nighttime ditch would be con-
structed in Yakima county, and in this way
large amount of the best fruit land in the
state would be brought into cultivation.
But it seems that this hope is not to be real
lied very soon, if at all, owing to the fact
that the Washington Irrigation Company
owns the land around the lakes where reser-
voirs have to be built 1t is claimed that
this company promises to build the reser-
voirs and do the work which the govern
ment was expected to do. This is delusive
hope. The Washington Irrigation Company
may build reservoirs and enlarge its pres
ent canal, but it will not build any high
line ditch. And this is the verv thing need
ed to bring into cultivation the best fruit
land in Yakima county. It is we'll known
NV ,1S who are enOaOed IN fr,1it orOwino in
this county, that the higher TIP we get, the
safer we are from damaging frosts at bloom
ing time The land therefore, that lies
above the present canal must be far better
for fruit growing than what lies below it.
This valuable tract of land will lie there
an unsightly waste unless the government
takes hold of this project and builds high
line ditch The people of Yakima county
should wake up on this matter, and leave
no stone unturned to secure government
aid. The Washington Irrigation Company
has done a great deal to reclaim a large
tract of dry land in Yakima county, some of
which is valuable for fruit, and some not
IF we wait for that company to reclaim the
valuable fruit land lying above its canal
we will miss the opportunity of making
Yakima county famous for its best orchards.
This COMPANY in securing control of the
lakes at the head of the Yakima river, has
probably done what any other company or
individual would have done under the cir
cumstances, but their act is a menace to
the development of fruit growing in Yakima
county, nevertheless. The writer of these
notes has no personal interest in this land
above the present canal, and is not seeking
to secure any, but he knows the situation
and would warn the people of Yakima coun-
