ORCHARD LANDS OF LONG AGO.

The orchard lands of long ago!
0 drowsy winds, awake and blow
The snowy blossoms back to me.
And all the buds that used to be!
Blow back again the grassy ways
Of truant feet and life the haze
Of happy summer from the trees
That trail their tresses in the seas
OF grain that float and overflow
The orchard lands of long ago!
Blow back the melody that slips
In hazy laughter from the lips
That marvel much as any kiss
Is sweeter than the apple is.
Blow back the twitter Of the birds;
The lisp, the thrills, and the words
Of merriment that found the shine
Of summer time a glorious wine,
That drenched the leaves that loved
In orchard lands of long ago.
o memory! alight and sing
Where rosy-bellied pippins cling,
And golden sunsets CLINT and CLEAN
AS in that old Arabian dream
The fruits of that enchanted tree
The glad Aladdin robbed for me!
And drowsy winds awake and fan
My blood as when 1t overran
A heart, ripe as the apples grow,
In orchard lands of long ago!

should be supplied as a fertilizer un|
der natural field conditions" SINH
lar quotations could be given from
other authors but this is not deemed
necessary. Those persons who claim
that the high color of our fruits is
owing to the presence of iron in irri-
cation water, would do well to rub
open their eyes and see that they are
simply dreaming and are ignorant of
the facts in the case. No, it was not
something in our soil that made our
apples so fine in color. The cause
is not in the soil but above it. And
what is that? It is the constant sun
shine in our cloudless skies. The more
sunshine we can have the more color
we can have on our apples, provided
there is an ample supply of moisture
to the roots to serve the purpose Of
the Transportation of the food material
from the ground to the leaves where
in combination with the carbon COM
ing in from the air, they are elabor-
ated into the richest of plant food.
This elaboration does not take place
at night but only in the sunlight. If
apples are shut out from sunlight by
too heavy foliage they will lack color.
This is we'll known to all observing
fruit growers. Take an apple tree
we'll laden with fruit and supply it
with every element of fertility needed
and every condition favorable to it's
growth, but shut out the sunlight by
stretching tent over it and the fruit
will be pale and almost tasteless.
Here then is our secret as to the high
color of our apples. We can not send
our cloudless skies over to our good
brother in Tennessee.
1t may be remarked in this connec-
ton that Eastern fruit growers who
realize that the high colored, we'll
packed Western fruit is cutting Sc
riously into their markets, are taking
vigorous steps to improve their fruit.
This is commendable and in part will
be successful, but they are liable to
miss a very important factor in this
work of improvement unless they look
at the matter from the standpoint here
presented. If they will open out their
tree tops by rigid system of prun-
ing it will no doubt greatly help the
color of their apples. There is no
question but an improved pack will
help the sale of their fruit. If our
Iru1C is packed DeICer CndH CHelTS, IL
may not be owing to our greater hon
esty but to the necessity laid upon us.
We must pack our fruit in the very
best style or failure stares us in the
face After all these improvements
are made we will still have our cloud
less skies at the very time when sun
light is most needed and irrigation
to supply the moisture. The only
way for our good brethren in the East
to get these advantages is to come
west"
