Brought Results.

The results Of the experiments OF
the State college at Pullman, in We
natchee valley, are now at hand, after
a years waiting, and they are very sue
cessful. Professors Melander and
Tumble have been conducting the ex-
periments, and they have been in the
orchards of men who operate fruit
farms In the Wenatchee valley.
In the orchard of Y. A. Lanham,
where there were 5000 boxes Of apples
that were wormy last year, this year
there were only six boxes found. On
examining the apples raised in the
Lanham orchard the two Pullman men
found only Is boxes of apples out OF
II 900 that had been even attacked by
worms.

GOLD IN RHoDEsIA
Interesting Data Given by the Unit

ed States Consul.
Consul John II. Snodgrass OF Pre-.
toria furnishes the following report on
the mining and industrial development
Of the British-African colony of Rho
desia
The expansion OF the gold industry
In Rhodesia to the annual production
or SlO,OOO,OO0 of the metal has been ac-
complished by the small investor and
individual effort rather than by means
OF capital. Small reefs have been dis
covered in this territory, and many are
confidently predicting that Rhodesla in
few years may perhaps excel the
Transvaal in the production OF the
precious metals, Small operators with
little capital by their own efforts have
OF late been extracting nearly one
third of the total amount of gold
found, and their earnings have been
spent mostly in the colony, as con-
sequence OF which there has been re-
vival of trade. While such crops as
tobacco, cotton and wool have been try
Ing to find their way into the distant
markets, local demands for grain,
fruits and fresh meats are being met
more and more by the Rhodesian agrl-
culturists themselves
"Rhodesa's output OF other minerals
than gold has increased and several
new Industries have come into life dur
ing the year. Pioneer settlers along
the Cape to Cairo railroad have proved
that what could be done in South
Africa could also be done farther
north, and some remarkable crops have
been grown. The Kafue river, the
! bridging of which was an engineering
feat second only to that accomplished
at the Victoria falls, afterward proved
to be useful waterway, for 1t extends
100 miles, and several steam and sail
Ing craft have already been put on it.

toria falls.
In the return Of a generally Rho
desian prosperity it is only natural
that the railways should play an In
portant part, though they have suf-
fered badly as other lines OF indus
try on account of the long drawn-out
depression that overcast all South
Africa. The report of the Rhodesian
railways for the year 1906 shows that
the gross earnings for the first eleven
months totaled S2,393,0 go which is
| equal to $2,GG1 800 per annum, rs
against $2,31G,500 in 1906; the net
revenue was $0S8,5O0, as compared
with $534,OO0 In 1905. This represents
an annual gain of 1873 per cent in net
income. An approximate estimate OF
the traffic during the year puts the
gross earnings at $2711,0 900 and the
net revenue at $1,0l4,5OO."
