State Economic ZoologIst Surface
is now forming new plan for con
Quoting part of the demonstration
work of the division of zoology in
Pennsylvania. Heretofore the work
has been confined principally to show
ing farmers how the San Jose scale
and other pests can be controlled,
although other valuable points have
been given too.
DIR. Surface now proposes to have
"model orchards as he terms them
distributed over the state. In these
the field demonstrators shall work
throughout the year for the purpose
of showing fruit growers Just how an
orchard should be kept.
The state does not intend TO buy
the orchard. The owners simply
allow the division of zoology to run
them, getting their reward in the in.
crease value of the orchard itself
The state will furnish the expert
men to do the work in the orchards,
and will also furnish the chemicals
for insecticides, Every thing else
mist be furnished by the owner OF
the orchard.
1t is the hope DR.. Surface to estab-
lish about 20 of these model orch
ards about the state an average O
one to every three counties. Many
applications are already in from
owners, who offer their orchards for
the work, and DR.. Surface will soon
make his selection. The first work
in these model orchards will be start
ed early in March when trees which
need pruning will receive attention
Spraying will come later.

a bear chase inside the city limits
in which dozens of citizens armed
with revolvers and guns took part,
caused great excitement at Altoona
on New Years day. The bear wan
dered into the city, and women and
children fled in terror. In few
minutes armed men and boys had
driven bruin to an alley and opened
fire. One lad was wounded in the
foot. The bear fled toward the
mountain, but was cornered in an
orchard and killed.

THE CHlLDREN'S HOLIDAY.
In China New Years Is the Little
Ones Great Festival.

Except at the Chinese New Year,
which comes in February, it is very
hard to catch glimpse Of children in
China. Little beggars will ruin beside
you for miles to earn / cash, a
copper coin with square hole in the
middle of it, worth the twentieth Of
cent, but children who have parents
to care for them seem to be kept in
doors all the time or only allowed to
play in walled yards and gardens. We
used to say to each other: "Why, where
are the children? Haven't they got
any?" But at New Years we found
out that they had. This Is the great
holiday of all the year in China, when
everybody hangs out flags and colored
lanterns and sets off firecrackers. eve
borrowed our custom of firecrackers
for the Fourth of July from China's
New Year's.) All the people put on
their best clothes and the children the
best of all, jackets and trousers of
bright blue or green or yellow or pur-
pie, the boys and the girls so much
alike that you can only tell them apart
by their hair. The boys of course is
braided in a pigtail, and the girls is
done up on her head with silver pins
or, if she's a very grand little girl, with
gold or jade. Thus decked out, the
children go walking with their proud
papas and mammals and often go to
the theater which is rare treat for
them.
Perhaps Chinese children have romp-
ing plays together, but they always
look as if they were born grown up

Chelan County, Washington, Its
Climate, Conditions and
Salubrity.

Many particular localities there are,
and some of them without any or little
basic foundation in fact, which boldly
claim that they and they alone can lay
claim to the superlatively equable eli
matte conditions which entitle theirs to
the palm Cor fig leaves) as the site Of
the original Garden of Eden.
Leavenworth will not go quite so far
as that. The Echo has a reputation
to sustain. 1t has got the habit Of
truthfulness so strongly ingrained that
it hurts, yet it will not go so far as to
exclaim with Solomon that All men
are liars except ourselves.
But, seriously, where in all the state
of Washington, or in all the Pacific
northwest, will you find climatic con-
ditions SO ideally perfect and so en-
tirely conducive to the prolongation OIL
life and the production OF perfect fruit,
etc. ? Nowhere.
The Wenatchee valley has the rep
utation the world over as being pre-
eminently and incomparably the prem
Ter fruit-raising section of the north
west-and Leavenworth, as the head
of the Wenatchee valley, is logically
and physically at the head of the head
fruit-producing district in all this north
western country.
And perfect genealogical results re-
quire perfect climatic conditions, and
here we have them.
Owing to the situation of Leaven-
worth, nesting in its cup-shaped set
ting of the Cascade mountains, which
serve perfectly as a wind-break and
protection to the town, Leavenworth is
particularly free from the extremes o.
heat and cold. Very rarely at any
time during the winter does the mer-
curry in Fahrenheit's hide under the
zero-mark in that instrument to escape

Snow we have, and plenty of it

some genius would but devise some
means of using it as fuel--but the
ground hereabout is never known to
freeze. That fact, of itself, to ever
the least enlightened in the working:
of Natures chemistry, must prove con
clusively the truth of Leavenworth'
claim to its supremacy over any othel
part of the Wenatchee valley in the
matter of Embarrassing.
AS to Leavenworth' salubrity, thi:

diction, lesser percentage of deaths

A NEW YEAR INJUSTICE.
The Rarkeeper Complains of the Good
Resolution Habit.

Resolution Habit
John, I'll have to lay you off for the
first two weeks of the new year. You,
Harry. will have to lay off week"
The speaker. lean man, stood in a
splendid and spacious beer saloon, a
place of polished mahogany, onyx col
umns, great mirrors and large paint
ings of beautiful women. Ropes and
wreaths of evergreen twined about the
pillars and the electroliers, and on the
massive bar stood a bowl of free
punch, for it was New Years day.
Yes, boys" said the lean man,
"you'll have to CO."
"What for, boss?' asked the young

ally with MS wooden bar cloth he pol
ished the bar till it shone again, and
anxiously he gazed in his employers
face.
"Why, John, you ought to know
what for"
The saloon keeper spoke impatiently.
A fat man entered from the street, ap-
preached the bar with reluctant steps,
then all of sudden turned hurriedly
and departed.
"Well, I'll be danged" said Bartender
John. That's the fourth fellow has
done that this mornin. What's it mean
anyway
you ought to know what 1t means,
john" repeated the saloon keeper.
"Its meaning is the cause of your sus-
pension"
"Yes John" the man resumed; "your
suspension is caused by the New
Years swear off of that fellow and
thousands like him. All over the broad
land, John, countless numbers of men
swear off drinking for a year on New
Years day. Half of them stick to
their swear off for a week, and the
other half, with just few exceptions,
stick to it for two weeks. Those
two weeks of January. John, are al
ways the two poorest weeks on the

penses; hence he retrenches; hence he
lays off prudent, Industrious young
chaps like you-chaps with a bit put

The celebration of New Years Is
carried on more extensively in Japan
than in any other country. The reason
for this can only be accounted for by
the fact that the custom has been

PROSPEROUS WASHINGTON
Ships Ten Thousand Cars of Fruit and
Gets Ten Million Dollars for 1t

Mr.. l0nneSOn, eQllOI OI INC NOltH-
western Horticulturist, has been max
ing a compilation of the fruit shipment
from the state of Washington for the
past year and its value, and finds that
approximately 10000 cars Of apples,
pears, cherries, plums and berries
were shipped out of Washington from
the opening of the season up to about
the middle of December. Roughly
speaking, these cars average about
$1,000 each, giving to the growers OF
the state total of $10,000,000. For
1906 approximately 5000 cars were
shipped, with an income of not more
than SIS, 100000, the prices for fruit
being lower this season than last.
OF the 10000 cars shipped SO far
this season, 5000 cars were apples and
1000 cars pears, plums, cherries and
berries. In the matter of districts,
Yakima valley leads in its shipments OF
apples and fruits generally, though the
Puyallup valley in western Washington,
is ahead in the production of small ber-
ries. Next after the Yakima district in
apple production comes the Wenatchee
valley; then the Walla Walla and Snake
River sections, followed in order by
Clarke county and the Lower Sound
region. Orcas Island is becoming
notable fruit producing center.
The 5000 cars of apples shipped
represents two-thirds Of the apples grown
in the state. MIR. Tonneson, in an in
terview said, Our shipments of fruit
are the largest by far in the history OF
the state, and bring Washington well
to the front as great fruit growing
country, and the hundreds of young
orchards that are now being put out in
every fruit growing locality promise
much bigger things.
The planting of orchards this sea-
son is heavier than ever before. Muir
serymen already report the heaviest or
ders booked for trees on record. A
Toppenish nurseryman told me month
ago that his sales were then 80 per
cent of his total sales for last season.
Oregon nurserymen tell me that they
have orders in some cases for all their
young fruit stock. These conditions
are something new in orchard planting
in the northwest.
Another new feature in our horti-
culture is the great planting of vine
yards in Washington, which is heavier
this year than ever before. Over about
Kennewick they are attempting an in
novation in the way Of introducing Eu-
ropean varieties of grapes, particularly
the tender varieties of the raisin class.
Washington is going to become
one of the great grape producing Sec
tons of the world, and it will be much
to our advantage. In California this
year they have made more money on
grapes than on any other variety Of
fruit. The principal shipper there is
the Flame Tokay grape. This is a
hardy variety that does well where the
conditions are such as are found on
the Columbia and the Snake rivers.
Vineyards begin to bear in about three
years, and within few years I look to
see large amount of money pouring
into our state annually from grape ex-
ports alone. The growing Of grapes
here will also stop our sending money
away for this fruit. The prospects
never looked brighter for orchardists
of the northwest than at present.
