Condition of the Wheat Crop.

The Washington wheat crop is be-
ing harvested now, and there can no
longer be a doubt but that this year
will eclipse every former year in the
total number of bushels to be gathered.
In every section conditions are highly
favorable, not only for big yield and
fine plump kernel, but also for the
handling of the grain, with the one
exception that in sections the harvest
help is not so numerous as the growers
would like to see it. The farmers are
reported as having plenty of money to
handle the crop, rendering them i'm
mune from the necessity of borrowing,
and at the same time the banks are
reported as being less crowded for
loans than at the other seasons of the
year, thus placing them in position to
render all the assistance that may be
necessary for the grower to take care
of his crop.
Conservative men place the approx
innate yield of wheat in the state at
between 100000 to 100000 bush
els, and they believe seventy cents is
good average per bushel in price
that will be received by the grower.
There have been sufficient showers to
fill the grain out nicely and a good
warm spell has settled over the grain
growing sections at just the right
time, the two circumstances combin-
ing to place at the disposal of the
farmer a well-developed kernel and
healthy stock. With money enough
to properly handle the crop, only a
small percentage of the growers will
contract their grain before it is har-
vested. Millers estimate that but Is
per cent of the growers will sell their
grain before they harvest it. The rest
will hold it until better prices are
available.

Forest Planting on the Plains.

If it were possible to impress upon
every new conner the Importance of
setting out a few trees as soon as he
has located a domestic on his claim
the regions that are today newly set
tied and without trees of any kind
would in few years be beautiful tree
dotted sections. The expense of pur-
chasing a few trees for the start would
be too small to be considered, know
ing what they will be in few years.
We of the plains are too negligent OF
the many advantages we might have
if we would but exercise little more
foresight and inject a little more en-
ergy into our initial operations.
There is real need for forest growth.
BY careful selection of the species and
with proper management on the part
of the settler enough forest can soon
be grown to exercise a marked effect
upon farm development and to supply
wood for most domestic purposes.
Planting of trees should be done for
these three chief purposes: Protec-
ton from the wind and heavy SHOWS,
wood supply and shade.
A windbreak consists of one or two
rows of trees planted primarily for the
pOOS VI ShOChiuS IhO AOA W Va SAAO
wind. The term "shelter-belt" is ap-
piled to larger groups of trees which
form forest conditions and serve pro-
tective purpose. Any species which is
adapted to the region may be used
for windbreaks. Where evergreens
will succeed, however, they are more
desirable, since they afford better Win
ter protection than deciduous trees.
A windbreak consisting of single
row should be composed of densely
growing species with branches close
to the ground.
The main use of windbreaks is to
shelter an orchard or residence site,
to prevent hot winds from scorching
field crops, and to conserve soil mois-
ture within the protected area. They
may also be planted in open pastures
for the protection of stock. Incident
ally, the windbreak may furnish USE
full material, but it must be placed
where it will afford the most protec-
ton, without much reference to the
character of the soil.
Wherever agriculture is practiced
in the plains region, the farmer will
find it profitable to devote few acres
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-08-01

of good land to trees. 1t is true that
some time must elapse before the
plantation will become productive, but,
by the choice of rapid growing species
and by close spacing, the Trimmings
which will be necessary in a few
years will provide material suitable
for fuel, stakes, and the like.
The choice of species for this pur-
pose is naturally very limited and will
depend somewhat on the location.
Trees that grow rapidly and at the
same time produce wood of good quail
ity are best If they also sprout from
the stumps, the forest may be made
permanent with little care

1t is hard to state definitely what
will be the volume of the apple crop
throughout the state of Washington
this year, but some growers believe
that it will be as large as last year.
Had there been no heavy frost last
spring at the time the buds were the
tenderest, the yield now would be
much greater than last year. Individ-
ual trees this year will not bear so
heavily as last, but this lack will be
made up by the larger acreage in bear
ing during the present season.

The Ranch desires to again empha-
size the point brought out in our last
issue by H. S. Emerson, the Western
avenue dealer, that Washington fruit
growers should, as good business and
advertising policy, advertise Washing
ton apples on their boxes. This is
done to good advantage in every other
section of the country. California has
made her fruits famous the world over
because on every box of oranges,
grapes or apples, it says in big letters
California Oranges" or California
Apples" etc. Oregon is accomplishing
the same end. Washington should get
into the game. Washington's fruits
are the best in the world. There is
no doubt about this. On the strength
of their quality alone, they are now
sold in every part of the world. Then,
let every fruit dealer in this state
paint on the fruit boxes in big letters
