A New Problem
For Fruit-Growers

The 'iat headed apple e-tree borer"
is coming into prominence as a pest
which promises to make an abund-
ance OF trouble for every orchardist
10 Washington, particularly. on the
western side of the state. The State
College Experiment Station staff re-
Gently investigated large orchard,
ind found that three-fourths of the
apple-trees were damaged by the
oorer. In searching for this pest
the method used by the College ex-
perts is to loosen or cut through the
outer bark OF the tree, and if present,
the grubs will be found under the
bark. At this time of the year they
are about three-fourths of an inch
long, with large, fiat heads. If
the apple-trees are newly transplant
ed ones, it will Invariably be found
that the borer, if at work, has killed
a great many of them. The fiat
beaded grub is especially dangerous,
for SO stealthiiy does he work that
often he will destroy a tree before
his presence is even suspected.
In fighting this nuisance, the meth
cd used by the college staff is to
scrape the trunks of the trees, and
dig the grub out with a knife; then
wash the trunk with solution of lye,
Or similar preparation. The fiat
headed borer is a newcomer in Wash
i1gton, but has made remarkable
progress toward increasing his kind.
The Experiment Station staff be-
lieves that he is one of the coming
problems which apple-growers of the
state will have to combat, and this
time of year is the best in which to
get at him.

The Fruit Industry
of Washington

San Juan county doesn t make much
OF a showing in the report of the state
horticultural commissioner, owing, no
doubt, to the difficulty he must have
experienced in securing data concern
Ing the fruit industry here, there be-
ing no county fruit Inspector and un-
TIL quite recently no organization Of
fruit growers. The probability is that
the figures given for nearly all of the
counties are underestimated. The
state as a whole is credited with hav-
ing a722, 1O5 apple trees in 1906, of
which this county is credited with
only 10000. Unless a great many
trees have been destroyed in recent
years there must be upwards of 4O,-
600 within a radius of three miles Of
East Sound. A little less than one
million plum and prune trees are re-
ported in the state, of which over one
half are in Clarke county. This coun-
tp is credited with only 800, although
a few years ago there were a number
OF orchards that each, had more than
that number Of prune trees alone.
Prunes have not been profitable in
this county, however, and most of the
trees have been tax en- out.
The commissioners reports that the
fruit industry Of the. st tie is develop
ing at very rapid rate and that
nearly 16, ,00O,new acres of fruis trees
have been set out since the spring of
10O6

An Historical
Misstatement

w. G.. Crafts, of Deer Harbor, who
was an officer in the Union army dur
ing the civil war, calls the editors
attention to q misstatement in the
general news columns last week in an
item referring to the commander OF
the Monitor at the time of1the battle
with the Merrimac in Hampton Roads.
The item referred to Capt. Vim. n.
Patterson, who died recently in Port
lard at the age of.82, as having built
the celebrated ironclad and as having
been in command at the time OF the
Merrimac's defeat, whereas, as stu
dents Of history, even in cur common
schools, are well aware, Lieut.. John
T. Worden was the commander.
The editor can do no more than dis
claim personal responsibility for the
error, as the ISLANDERS state and
general news columns are compiled
and printed in Seattle. The publish
or hopes that the papers increasing
patronage may make i possible to
discard the patent service before
very long and give its readers Aan
home print.

The day has passed when anybody
will do for farmer. Land and labor
are higher, and insects and blight
more abundant. The clever man
makes use of brains and machinery
and still clears a profit, but the
stupid or hide bound farmer is no
longer in place. Think and hustle, or
starve, is the new rule, and severe
as it may seem to those in the rear of
the procession, the final result must
be to make agriculture the most en-
terprising and scientific of all ordi-
nary occupations.
