HORTICULTURE

The washington State Horticultural
Association held its second annual
meeting at North Yakima January
9-12. 1906. The attendance was large
and the interest in the matters treat
ed in the papers and addresses was
very good. 1t is not the purpose OF
the writer to take up the program
and give an outline of papers and ad-
dresses. The minutes of the meeting,
including the papers and addresses,
will be published and each member OF
the Association will receive a copy OF
the report. The sum of $1.00 constl-
tutes any one member and hesl-
tate not to say that the fruit grower
that wants to keep up with the pro-
cession in fruit growing can not do
a better thing than to send his dollar
to Secretary L. G.. Monroe, OF Spokane,
and get the report. The report can
not be issued for some time yet, but
send on the membership fee and the
report will come in due time. No one
will ever regret the spending OF that
dollar.
The officers for the present year are
w. H. Paulhamus, Sumner, president;
]. F. Littooy, Everett, first v1ce-presl-
dent: w. S. Phillips, Wenatchee, Sec
ond vice-president; w. N. Irish, North
Yakima treasurer; l.. G. Monroe, Spo-
kane. secretary. These are all good
men and practical fruit growers, eX-
cept l.. G.. Monroe, and he makes such
a very competent secretary that ne Is
likely to fill the position as long as
he may care to do so. The next meet'
inc of the Association will be held IN
Everett sometime in January, 1917.
Western Washington is certainly lot
tunate. for the Northwest Fruit GROW
ers Association is to meet in Seattle
next January. This Association takes
in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana and British Columbia. Come on,
brethren, and we will give you the
hand of fellowship
One of the things in which the fruit
growers of the state are vitality inter
ested is the combating of the codllng
moth This subject received large
share of the attention of the fruit
growers assembled at North Yakima.
A whole day was devoted to this one
subject. This is just as it should be,
for the cooling moth does more dam
age to the fruit growers in the united
States than all other insect pests com
bined. While we know much about
combating this pest there is much TO
be learned The State College at Pull
man has helped us in this matter. Two
most excellent young men who are de-
voted to the study of such matters
have been sent into the Yakima valley
for two years to study and experiment
in fighting this insect. Any one VINO
knows much about matter or this
kind understands that the first requ'
site in fighting any pest is to under
stand it, To do this it must be STUD
led not only in the laboratory but IN
the place where it does it's mischief.
To do such work as this Eldred Jen-
ne was sent into the Yakima valley IN
1903 to take observations on the lie
history of the codling moth. His re-
port has been published, and am free
to say that I know of nothing equal
to it in thoroughness and reliability
In 1904 the experiments could not be
carried on, but Mr.. Jenne was sent

intrenchments prepared. These extended from a
little church to a wooded field. The lines OF my
corps, including the reserves, thus occupied a po
toward Charlottesville.
Dcwdall's clearing touched upon that great
wilderness which became famous in the sub
sequent operations of General Grant In this
singular woods were stunted trees, such scraggy
oaks bushy frs, cedars, and jumpers all entangled
with a thick almost impenetrable underground,
and crisscrossed with abundance of wild vines.
Indeed, the forest appeared impossible on all the
south and southwest fronts so that with extreme
difficulty srInishers worked their way through,
in the most favorable spots. The officers
of the Eleventh Corps were never satisfied with the
position, and naturally so, because we had flank
in air, which at least four miles from Gen
eral Hooker's nearest cavalry picket.
General Carl Schurz, after the battle, criticized
this location follows: Our right ought to have
been drawn back toward the Rapidan to rest
that river, which near the mouth of the Hunting
Creek, the corps abandoning SO much of the plank
road as to enable it to establish solid line" My
answer to this was: We were ordered to Dowdalls
Tavern and not to Elys ford, four miles to rear,
and instructed to fix right at a mill on Hunting
Creek" We did not find the mill but the exact
point not doubted. We know, however, that
the position which General Schurz after the action,
SO ably recommended, the very position into
which Hooker's army forced, and by which he
was cramped that, in his judgment, he could not
subsequently take the offensive.

our front. We at once sent forward brigade,
which soon encountered some Confederate cavalry
and artillery, which proved to be a moving
reconnaissance passing along entire front with
a view of determining for Lee as precisely as pos
sble, the exact location of the Eleventh Corps.
He had, however, obtained better information
from the civilians in vicinity who had been freed
from restraint by the forward movement of the day
before. We had forgotten to take them with us.
When returned to the old position, we found a

The Lineup of Forces

HOOKER'S aggregate in the battle-lnes, as have
said, was in the neighborhood of ninety thousand
men. His right corps, the Eleventh, had exactly
twelve thousand. Lee had in his lines confronting
about forty thousand electives He always had
cannon with his infantry and with his cooperating
cavalry.
| remember well that my brother and myself,
when quite young, several times found our way to
shelving rock from which could watch the wind
and transforms which would spring up from the
mountains of New Hampshire and sweep across
the hills and valleys and rivers toward u.s. ever in

As the storm came nearer, the woods bent forward,
fercely shaking their thick branches; thellightning
zigzagged in flashes, and the deep-bassed thunder
echoed more loudly, till there scarcely inter

Hooker's Lost Chance

Our forces numbered ninety
thousand men; the enemy S
about forty thousand. Lee had
an advantage in cavalry; for our
main body of cavalry under
Stoneman was away. raiding
upon Lees communications.
Could General Hooker have
had a clear-cut map and de-
scription, such as we have to-
day, he could have assailed Cen
eral Lees position with every
prospect of success; but he did
not have them.
Our dispositions were as fol-
lows: General Hooker was at
Charlottesville; Slocum and
Hancock in his front; French
was on the left; my corps the
Eleventh, was on the right;
Sickles, connecting my force with
Slocum's. The three divisions of
the Eleventh were commanded
by Won Steinwehr. Schurz, and
Devens.
Ny position during the battle
was near Dowdall's Taver 1t
was central spot, quite ele-
waited. From this position the
assailed could en6lade either
roadway. and could meet an at
tack from the south. west, or
north by a slight change of front.

lection for the batteries was
constructed, and a line of cross

ackson S enterprise, which was
not clear to us, began about sun
rise of the second of May His three
divisions, under Rodes, Colston,
and A. P. Hill, soon reached the
Catherine Furnace road. From
the Furnace the column turned
and continued toward the south,
in order to mask Jackson's in
tentions. He appeared to be
aiming for the Orange court
house. As soon as his advance
was well covered by the trees,
his men swept round the different
forest routes toward the plank
road On they went at least a
mile farther, till the Orange Pike
was uncovered and passed. While
Jackson was thus working his
command forward, and massing
his divisions opposite the Elev-
enth Corps several miles away
from Dowdall's Tavern, our men
were taking their observations
of these mysterious operations.
The Catherine Furnace was about
two and one-half miles from
Sickles' and Steinwehr S positions,
and they had an open view of
Jackson's moving brigades. With
the exceptions f this exposure, the
Confederate movements werewolf
covered by the thick forests and
by Fitzhugh Lees active cavalry.
Not long after sunrise we heard
some loud cheering. 1t was a

TT that conference which was to result in a re-

General Lee has recorded the result of this interview
1t was therefore resolved to endeavor turn Hook
er right flank and gain his rear leaving the force
front to hold him in check and conceal the move
ment. The execution of this plan was intrusted to
Jackson with his three divisions
