There is quite a revival of peach

Will it pay to raise peaches? Yes
and no. Much depends on the loca-
ton. The trouble will be that many
will rush into the business WltnouC
studying this question OF location ana
the result will be failure or, at pest,
partial failure in many cases. IL ala
not believe that l have an ideal loca-
ton | would not have planted these
4.4OO peach trees. What is an ldeal
location? One of two things make an
ideal location. One is elevation anu
the other is a current of air during the
night. Of course, it goes without say
ing that the location must be IN the
neach belt. But what constitutes the
neach belt? Comparatively mild win
ters and a good deal of warm sunshine
in the summer. If these conditions
do not obtain then the condluons that
make an ideal location will not make
peach growing a success. Inc warm
valleys of eastern Washington, Ore
con and Idaho are in the peach belt.
So are certain parts of southern ore
con west of the Cascade range. Wash

Cascades, neither has the lower villa

individual who goes into the business
as a money making venture will fall.
No fiat country is a good location
for peach growing unless there is
current of air by night. The reason or
this is that late frOsts will Kill the
peaches so frequently. that the bus
mess will be improbable. 1t is hard
to make some people believe this. A
man came to me few months ago for
advice alout setting out peach orch
ard. He described his location and
told him frankly that l would not
plant a peach orchard there. l told
him that his trees would grow well
enough. but that he would suffer from

the leaves are full grown at the time
of spraying, but if any one is led to
follow this rule in spraying for the
cooling moth he will find out his mis-
take when he gathers his apples. Don't
spray less than five times whether you
use lead arsenate or any other arsenl-
cal compound.

Perhaps it might be we'll just here
to refer to the scare about the tent
caterpiller that we hear of every year
on Puget Sound. Some man had
spell the other day and recommended
through the papers that people turn
en- masse and cut the Inns having the
tents" and burn them Now there is
but little use for all this foolishness.
Caterpillers of all kinds are biting In
sects and attack the leaves and some
times eat them up entirely. Spray the
infected trees with some arsenical
poison and they will soon get dose
that will make them "curl up their
toes" and "climb the golden stairs"
Nothing better can be used than lead
arsenate; whether in the form of Dis
parene or Swift's will probably make
but little difference. Use six or eight
pounds of the lead arsenate to the one
hundred gallons. There is no danger
of burning the foliage. A weaker So
luton may do but better give them
good dose at once. If this is thorough
ly done there will not be many next

from having fit of the jim-jams.
