Information For Fruit Growers.

BOHEMIAN, Oct. 3W.--Prof. Il. w.
Fisher, the experiment station hOrti.
%culturist, has begun some investiga.
tions that are likely to prove very
useful to the fruit raisers of the Bitter
Root valley and eventually to other
fruit raising sections of the state. He
has gathered fairly complete figures
from the Bitter Root, showing the to-
tai acreage 10 every orchard OF con.
sequence. together with the name of
each variety grown, the method of
cultivation used, and the yield per
acre OF each kind during the last four
years and the current year. The re-
suits indicate that while a good many
f%ruitgrowers are getting good money
returns for their work, others are
making little or nothing. A compari.
son of the figures show the reasons
for this in the selection of varieties.
Prot. Fisher will publish a bulletin on
the subject during the winter, but
meanwhile his studies make it clear
that In the Bitter Root those varieties
which are profitable are the Mcintosh
Red, the Alexander and the Wealthy:
and that the best method of cultiva.
ton as shown by general experience
is that known AS clean cultiv alton,
with a ploughing under the clover or
alfalfa every few years.
