Origin of "Yacht.n

The word yacht" like many other nautical words in the English Ian. guage, is of Dutch origin. This is natural, since the English learned the art of seamanship from those old mas. ters of the sea, the Dutch. Other Dutch words are skipper" smack, "sloop," reef" boom" 'taffrail.' , From the Netherlands come also the words smuggling" and hay" as in @snip ahoy.' When one reads how Lord Nelson was taken down to the "orlop' deck to die at the battle ol Trafalgar one has yet another term taken from the Dutch.

would be to go slowly till you know
more about it. Will it do equally
well in all localities? Will it keep
we'll? Being so delicate in texture, can
it be handled proftably? Will it speck
like the Baldwin does in some locali-
ties? That it specks badly in some
localities is beyond doubt. Try it in
your locality before you plant it eX-
tensively. 1t may save you much dis
appointment and financial loss to do
so. And what | say about this apple
| would say of any untried apple or
other fruit. Some years ago in Iowa
| raised strawberries to considerable
extent | had a neighbor who was an
enthusiastic strawberry grower. His
weakness was in pitching into any
new thing that made it's appearance.
One day my team drove to the station
with a wagon load of strawberries to
ship to the Minneapolis market. While
my teamster was unloading our ber-
ries this man came to the station with
two boxes on WheelbarrOW. 1t is
safe to say that this mans two boxes
cost him more than our wagon load
except in the item of picking. While
our wagon load returned us about $75
this mans wheelbarrow load returned
him about S.. His wife laughed at
him and told him he could make more
money by sticking to the tried sorts,
1t goes without saying this matter of
sticking to the old ways may go too
far. The man who is reported to have
carried a pumpkin in one end OF his
sack and a stone in the other because
his father did is the one extreme and
the man who took two boxes OF berries
to market when he might have taken
a wagon load is the other Strike the

discussed in the body of this work and
need not be considered here. Some
varieties of fruit can be grown over
much more extended area than others,
but this difference will be pointed out
as the work proceeds. Among the de-
ciduous fruits the apple is more wide
ly grown than any other. 1t is for
tunate that this is the case for no fruit
of this kind is so generally in demand
With the present methods of keeping
apples in cold storage no fruit dealer
need be without this best of all fruits
for a single day.
The location for a successful COM
mercial orchard must contain good
soil By this is not meant soil OF
extra fertility, for ordinary soil that
will grow good corn or raise a good
crop of hay will be sufficiently fertile.
The usual elements of fertility in the
soil are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash. These elements are generally
found in all ordinarily good soils.
Sometimes one or more OF these ele-
ments is found in such a form as not
to be available for plant growth, but
can be made so by the addition or
something else. When we add lime
or gypsum to our soils it is not so
much for the fertility in the lime or
gypsum as it is to make some OF the
fertility already in the soil available.
1t is not the intention OF the writer 10
go into so complex a question as this,
but he would suggest to the man who
wants to be thoroughly up to date IN
such matters to take course In SOIL
chemistry in one of our agricultural
colleges where these things are
taught. And right here is good place
to say that the fruit grower who eX
poets to keep up with the procession
must be student and thoroughly
master all these problems.
If man already owns his land the
question of location is very much
narrowed, but even then it has its
value. If the reader has not yet Sc
lected his land then this question is
very important one. Flat, level
stretches should be avoided. Trees
may grow there just as we'll as any
where else but the question OF spring
frosts is a vital one and often counts
for or against fruit grower to the
extent of hundreds and even thou.
sands of dollars One summer one OF
the writer's neighbors, whose peach
orchard is not more than an eighth
of mile away, had more than twice
as many peaches on seventy trees as
the writer had on fourteen hundred.
This neighbors few trees are on hlgh'
err ground than the writer's. Two
thousand dollars was the amount lost
by not having our peach orchard thlr-
ty feet higher. The vexing thing
about this matter is that the writer
had land as high as his neighbor put
at the time of planting his first peach
orchard there thought he was hlgh
enough. Experiences sometimes teach-
es costly lessons.
Now, this question of frost drainage
is a very important one to the person
who is about to enter the business
of fruit growing commercially. A per-

pack fours The writer received a box
of this variety from his own orchard
that packed threeS and one of them
measured fifteen inches in circum
ference. | was somewhat surprised to
see stuck up in the Utah building a
card that read: Utah, the Birthplace
of Irrigation" Surely our neighbors
know better than that unless they
mean that irrigation was born again
in their fair mountain state. 1t is a
matter of history that the Catholic
missionaries in Southern California
practiced irrigation before the Mexi
can war which antedates any settle
ment in Utah. RawlinsOn, in his
great work entitled "The Seven Great
Monarchies of the Ancient World"
states that the Chaldeans practiced IT..
rigation previous to the days of Abra-
ham and had one irrigation canal
three hundred miles long. The Nor
mons who first settled Utah practiced
irrigation and led the way in show
ing what it could do in the arid reg
ions of the intermOuntain states. Give
them all credit for this. But to revive
an old custom that existed five thou
sand years ago and has been prac-
ticed more or less ever since could
hardly be called a birth. A birth
place is where anything begins but
irrigation did not begin in Utah. A
birth of a thing and it's restoration are
by no means identical acts.
Recently the writer received a peach
from the Oregon Nursery Co., of Salem,
Oregon, with the statement that it is
"a sample of a yellow-feshed Seeding
peach of the Crawford type, that ap-
pears to have exceptional merit" The
writer's opinion is asked regarding
this peach. The accompanying state.
ment further say: "The fruit was
borne on a tree three years old from
the seed and, so far. it seems to be
immune from the effects of the curl
leaf. Another seeding growing up be-
side it was entirely defOliated this
spring from the effects of the curl
leaf, and the party who owns the trees
dug it up and destroyed it. Should
the tree continue to withstand this
trouble, together with the good quail
ties of the fruit, we think it worthy of
cultivation, and have sent out few
samples to get the opinion of others"
With reference to this peach | would
say that H. E. Van Deman, Chas. H.
Ross, of Puyallup, Wash, and L ate
the peach and all pronounced it good.
We could not have told it from the
Early Crawford. The peach was not
large but doubtless under different
surroundings would be much larger. If
it proves to be immune from curl leaf,
it is most certainly worthy OF cultlva-
ton where that trouble abOunds. The
peach should receive trial.
