10 Important Point.
St Petersburg, July 10. a. M
With the Japanese flag hoisted for the
first time on Russian soil after Is
months of war. the Importance Of the
landing ON the island of Sakhalin is
admitted generally, both in newspaper
comment and in government circles.
Complete occupation of the island is
regarded as a foregone conclusion.
The Novoe Vremya voices the gen
eral sentiment In holding that the con-
troll of Sakhalin puts powerful lever
in the possession of Japanese dfplo-
macy, which finally has something
tangible in it's hands to throw upon the
scales with the sword in the coming
conference.
Effect on Peace.
There is a divergence of opinion with
regard to the effect 1t will have upon
the negotiations at Washington. some
Of the irreconcilables declaring that it
makes peace at the present juncture
more impossible than before, as Japan
will be able to demand the cession of
the island and a heavy indemnity as
well, making the terms too costly. but
the more prevalent view is that Japan
has now in her hands enough trumps
to take the game.
Small Indemnity Hope Gone.
The attack on the island certainly
dissipates one of the hopes of the peace
advocates, who have been suggesting
that its voluntary cession might be an
offset, with Port Arthur and the Chi
nese railroad, against the payment of
large part or all of a monetary in
demnity.
No further report of the landing OPP
eTations has been received.

Fruit Growers at ZilIah.

For the benefit of the many east
ern enuuirers who may be dubious
of the statements regarding the won
derful productiveness of the soil In
Washington and what an energetic
man with small capital might do In
very short time we will cite the case
of J. B. Zimmerman, fruit grower
near Zillah, Yakima county. Mr.. Ram
norman has been in that county four
years this spring, and he has done
very we'll. He came there with moth
ing other than intelligence, energy
and a determination to succeed, and
today he is we'll on the highway to
success. The first year he rented
twenty acres, seven of which were
orchrd, near Zilah, and that fall he
sold the fruit on the trees for $28OO,
the buyer to do all the handling. AT
the end of the second year Mr.. Ram
norman bought thirty acres, paying
$4,000. Last year fourteen acres in
orchard bore fruit for the first time
and the crop was total OF 300 boxes
of apples. For these he received
S1.1O for the Jonathans and like
price for the Winesaps and sixty cents
for the Ben Davis. There were l9l
trees of Winesaps in their second
year and on these trees he netted
in cash $500.

Studying in Orchard Pests.

Work in the Yakima valley this
summer regarding the codling moth
and other fruit pests will be divided
into two parts. The first will be a
duplication of the work of last year
regarding the life history and habits
of the cooling moth. This is repeated
in order to determine the effect of
different seasons upon the time of ap-
pearance of the various stages of the
insect as well as to discover new facts.
The second part Of the work will be
along the line of spraying experiments
in which the sprayings will be timed
according to facts obtained from the
life history observations of last and
this year, with the object of decreas-
ing the number of sprayings and in
creasing the efficiency of EACH A
number of different insecticides will
also be tested. W. l.. Wright of North

A New System of Irrigation.

There comes to our Office report
of system of irrigation that many
a farmer properly located can utilize
at very little expense. A Mr.. Rogers
owns a large tract of land not far from
Freewater, Oregon, and this land is
steep enough to cause the water from
trench in the ground to run out
into bitches, within 100 feet from the
bottom of the trench. Mr.. Rogers
has begun the excavation of long
trench extending gradually from the
surface downward, at such pitch
that the water will run out to the sur
face of the ground, after the trench
has been made 100 feet long and Ii
feet deep at the deepest place.
At this time a constant flow of
water to the surface has been secured,
and by penetrating farther into the
gravel bottom, Mr.. Rogers hopes to
tap a sufficient quantity of the under
flow in the land to irrigate a large
tract, independent of any stream or
ditch system. AS the gravel soil is
filled with water IN that entire sec
ton, it is thought that all the farm
ers owning land with sufficient in
cline, can install this system of irri-
cation with profit.
