Washington Commission Law.

The new commission law of
Washington requires the payment
OF license fee Of $40 to the state
treasurer on the pa of y person
or lrm engaging in thee mmissou
business, also the execution of a
bond to the amount of $4,000, Sc
cured by a reliable su,ity company
which is to be appoved by the CON-
missioner of horticulture, who will
then issue a license. When any
fruit or produce is rec ived which
cannot be sod at market value, the
merchants to repo t the condition
OF the goods at once to the shipper
aod 10 send a copy rf such report
to the cou' ty frui, Inspector. This
feature, while adding to the work
OF the commission merchants, is a
protection to the honest commits >ion
man. The Horticulturist has OBJ
served that complaints are pretty
evenly divided, on the point of
merit. between the commission mer.
chants aud the growers, each as a
class. Where the slack pack and
and inferior quality Of goods are
baused from ignorance rather than
from wilful dishonesty, the inspec-
tor will have an opportunity to put
the shipper on the right track. If
located anywhere within the state,
the shippers county inspector
should be informed and he could
instruct such shipper how to OBJ
serve proper methods.
The commission merchants are
required to make remittance ten
days after sale. This feature is
sure to drive out of business the
weak merchants whose paper is not
good at the banks, for in many
cases the retail merchants pay only
ouce month as their customers
are on monthly pay roll in factories
and shops. The honest commi.-
ion merchant of limited means, as
we'll as the monied, will be able to
meet this requi ement of the law.
The commissioner of horticulture
has power 10 revoke license whe:e
dishonesty is shown on the part of
the merchant. The intent of the
law seems to be to fix the respon-
sibility ard TO make the state and
county horticultural officers help
full Sc, wants 10 the conduct of O.,
honest commission business, also
to the growers, and with goo.'
judgement it can be made So The

Talk to 0rchardists
AFew Words From the County
Fruit Inspector.

ETul IhSPcAtOi'
Everyone shou d be his own in-

ond gives the folio wing good advice
to orchardists:
"In order to have good Or
chard you should plow the ground
not less than a foot d ep. level it
and irrigate it thoroly. Then
pant the trees in a hole large
enough to receive all the roots, but
first clip enough to make a fresh
cut on the ends. This should be
done With a sharp knife and a
slauting cut mace 10 allow the
slope to rest upcn the earth. The
tree should not extend more than
twenty to twenty-four inches out of
the ground The next thing is to
care for the orchard, aud this is one
Of the most important parts, as We
have numerous insects 10 contend
With. At tue presenttime it is nee
essary to spray for the Red Spider,
San Jose scale, and all kinds of
aphis, wh;eh most of the trees are
more or less infected with. One
essential is not to leave a twig or
branch that has been trimmed off
on the ground or in the feuce cor
ner without burning, for what is
the use Of taking the insect off the
tree only to 60 back again? Plant
for shade Some tree that will not be
an insect breeder, such as the Roy

chestnut. l know of one man that
has six cherry trees in front of his
place who has for the past two years
received IS per tree for the fruit.
The next we have to contend
with is the peach twig moth and
the pear blight, which are two of
the most dreaded diseases. They
take the top bud off the trees and
sting the bud and the disease works
down the limb and uuder the bark.
Very little is known of the pear
blight in the Yakima Valley, bu,
the pear raiser should be very sue
there is none in his orchard. This
disease starts in the top bud or in a
fruit spur which immediately dies,
and the limb also begins to turn
black and die. 1t is, however.
easily detected if the orchard is
watcht carefully. By wiring to
the Experiment Station at Pullman
WASH, you can secure the spray
calender for 1907, also Bulletin
No IS and II, which tell you all
about these diseases and how to
treat them in order to obtain the
best results.
This valley is destined to be one
olthe greatest fruit growing dis

necessary that everyone should be
