that were neglected in regard to prop
er irrigation and cultivation have no
fruit and many of the trees are dead.
8. Peaches, 10 per cent; cherries,
so per cent; apples, Is per cent of

grapes and berries of all varieties are
an average.
g. Perhaps there are more people
engaged in fruit raising than in any
other branch of farming in the coun-
ty, while grain, cattle and sheep-rais-
ing are important industries.
10. The most of our growers are
either new beginners or men who are
holding the orchards for future specu-
lation. The true fruit grower, both
the old and the new, who is making
a business, or at least trying to make
a success of fruit growing will never
need any horticultural inspector or
law to compel him to try and keep his
orchard free from insects and diseases,
but what they do need and should by
Ill means have, is a man who has had
years of practical experience in their
immediate district in all branches Of
the industry-one who is willing to
have lots of patience and try with

have tried in all of my work to get
my man interested in this work, have
tried with good solid argument to con-
vince him that it was his only saliva
tion, and l would say that when you
get him to see that it is dollars and
cents in his pocket to take up this
fight he will willingly fall in line and
will not do his work to escape the
punishment of the law, but will work
for the best possible results.
6. Owing to the local freeze which
we experienced in February 1905, the
vitality of our trees was lowered to
the extent that they were made easy
prey for the various insect pests and
disease which, under circumstances of
this kind, will be more destructive
than when the tree is vigorous and
healthy.
7. Insects of all kinds spread like
wildfire in this section last season,
and it would be pretty hard to estl
mate the damage done, but would like
to make the statement that the red
spider did more damage to the cher
ry orchards of the Vineland district
last summer than all other insects
and diseases combined. In many or
chards this pest was so numerous that

fought with the same determined eff
forts; the enemy that commands the
most attention from our growers of
apples and pears is the codling moth,
hut however hard it may seem to some,
there are apple growers who have ia
ken the trouble to make a study of
this pest and they are fighting 1t
with success
5. would simply say that the grow
ers are doing all that is possible III
this fight against the pest and I will
say that so thorough was the winter
spraying done that there is not one
tree in any of the infested districts
of the county but what was sprayed
with the sulphur lime wash OF
course there were some whom we had
to force in line but | left these until
the very last and then lost no time in
dealing with them, but not one did I
let go until his orchard was sprayed
to my satisfaction. | did not under
any circumstance serve notice on any
man until I saw I had it to do.

there was not bit of foliage to be
seen on the trees. This damage was
done during the month of August
These trees, while they set to fruit
buds, had it not been for the hard
freeze of this last winter, would per-
haps have come out all right, but be-
ing low in vitality, there are many
trees that are entirely dead from the
combined effects of the red spider and
freeze, and for the benefit of the grow
ers who have not yet experienced the
work of the spider, l would like to
say that in our efforts to control them
and at least try to save our trees we
found nothing better, as far as the
trees were concerned, than to keep
the water running on them continu-
ously And where the growers did no3
at any time let their trees become

have made success. But with the
speculatOr it is a little different, for
these people in most cases know moth
ing about the needs and demands of
an orchard and many Of them will re-
fuse to spend a dollar until he is COM
PEELED to do so. With these you
should have both inspector and law.
That the present law is not just as
we should have it, none of us will
deny. l would offer as a suggestion
that it should be more for the fruit
grower and his protection than it is
at the present. Try and give the
true fruit grower all the help that is
possible and in regard to those who
are not trying to make a success and
are letting their orchards become in

for our state.

Asotin Co., Geo. w. Ferguson, Tnspr.
1. The approximate acreage to fruit
trees of all kinds in Asotin county
would perhaps reach $3.50 acres.
Peaches of all varieties, cherries,
(mostly the Bing), apples, pears,
plums, prunes, grapes and berries OF
all kinds do well here, but the peach
and cherry at the present are our
principal crop. A division would per-
haps be in this way: Peaches, 1000
acres; cherries, 100; apples, $50; 9TH
er varieties about equally divided
among 100 acres.
2. There are perhaps over 600 grow
ers engaged in the various lines of
fruit culture in this county, having
from one acre to perhaps SO acres.
The average, however, would be about
five acres.
3. The present season will not see
a very heavy increase in the acreage,
but as various irrigation projects will
soon be completed it would be safe
to say that the fruit industry will dou-
BILE itself within the next two years.
4. San Jose scale, red spider and
codling moth To the peach grower

was the pest that would do the most
damage; to the cherry grower the red

Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent up
on his parents for a livelihood un-
till he reaches the age of twenty
one years costs them four thous-
and dollars. On this basis of cal
culation a brood, for instance, OF
six boys would represent an outlay
of twenty-four thousand dollars by
the time they get away from the
home roost The question arises
does it pay to raise boys and are
there no other crops that would
prove more proftable3 If boy
turns out to be cigarette fend
with a breath like a turkey buzzard
and a laugh that would make the
untutored donkey feel perfectly at
home in his society and with an
untrammeled and unconquerable
desire to avoid work, it is safe to
say that his parents might have in
vested their four thousand dollars
at much better advantage. But
if the boy grows up to manhood
with the lesson well learned that
wealth and success grow only on
bushes watered by the sweat of
ones brow, the parents need not
begrudge whatever they have spent
on him, for he will be source of
increasing pride and joy to their
hearts, and when they grow old
and their hands tremble and their
legs wabble and their step is slow
and faltering they have two strong
arms to lean upon and help them
over all the rough places that lie
in their twilight path.

Not every boy can be rich man
or great man, but every boy can
bea gentleman. A boy with gentle
manly manners, who is trusty and
honest does his very best every day,
will gain the attention and conf
dence of men and will be given
paying and responsible positions
as soon as he is old enough to fill
them. Boys like to have fun and
a good time. 1t is right they should.
They never will be boys but once,
but to have fun is not altogether
what they are made for. Boys are
of value chiefly to make men, good
for something in the world. Char
acter, like a house, must have the
right kind of foundation. The
foundation stones Of good char
acter are reverence for God, respect
and obedience to parents, Difference
