Coast States, | have never seen any
finer apples anywhere. | have often
said in the Ranch that | have a firm
conviction that the Spitzenberg can
be more successfully grown in some
localities than in others. AS fine
Spitz as | ever remember seeing were
exhibited at the town of Chelan, which
beautifully nestles among the hills at
the east end of Lake Chelan. There
seems to be something in the valleys
and pockets among the mountains
along the Columbia River that pecu-
liarly fits such places for growing this
favorite apple. Where Mr.. Wright has
his orchard must certainly be one of
these spots. While we raise very fine
Spitzenbergs on my farm in the Yaki-
ma Valley, l have seen none of those
raised by us equal in high color to
those sent me by Mr.. Wright. l have
no doubt but we will see many sur
prises in the fruit line as the country
develops, but l very much doubt II
we ever see these apples surpassed.
These Spitz are almost black. We
have an apple show at our house now.
There are a number of inquiries on
hand that must go over to the next
issue. One of the burdens that fall on
me as horticultural editor of The
Ranch is the answering of so many
letters making inquiry about fruit
growing in Washington, the price of
land and many questions incidentally
growing out Of these matters. But the
inquiries pertaining to fruit growing
and from our patrons are not bur-
den-I gladly receive them.

IRRIGATION BOOMING.

Speaking of the results to be seen
in the state of Washington, Senator
Ankeny, who is chairman of the Sen
ate committee on irrigation, said:
"The state of Washington during the
past year has enjoyed unprecedented
prosperity, and the increase in popu-
lation and per capita wealth has been
extraordinary. On the eastern slope
of the Cascades, in the arid or rain
less division of the state, irrigation
has wrought such marvels that even
we who dwell there dare not tell the
whole truth about the miracle which
canal-borne water has produced.
'The federal government is spend
ing several million dollars in this sec
ton on two projects, the Okanogan in
the far northwest and the Yakima in
that fertile region called Yakima Val
ley. These great works have given a
decided impetus to private enterprise
all over Eastern Washington, and large
areas are being reclaimed by private
works. These enterprises have been
particularly numerous around Spo-
kane, on the Columbia and in the
southeastern part of the state.
1.-THE homeseekers who are coming
into the state are of the finest types
They come mainly from the horticul-
tural districts of the East All have
money, are experienced farmers, and
all find a welcome awaiting them. The
opportunities of Eastern Washington
are practically unlimited. 1t is yet a
virgin field for many industries. It's
attractive climate, fertile soil, the d.
versified crops and enormous yield
must continue to draw thousands Of
the best people of the country to our
borders. Today the citizens of East
ern Washington are the most progress
sive, thoroughly American and the
most prosperous people on earth.
Something of the prosperity of the
farmers is shown in report just re-
ceived from one irrigation district, the
Sunnyside, in Yakima Valley.
"This canal, operated by the re-
clamation service, supplied 100000
acres last year. A careful census of

MUCH WATER STORED IN HILLS.

Reports from the divide are to the
effect that there is plenty of snow for
the water which will be needed by the
fields and trees this summer. And the
supply is continuing to increase. Well
to the north of Roslyn, incoming min
ers who have made trip on their skies,
report a depth, of 10 feet of snow.
There is 10 feet at Galena and almost
seven feet at the head of Lake Gle
Elum, and this is all packed so firm
as to be really of the consistency of
ice On the south slope there is de-
clared to be regular ice formation,
which will yield only to the warming
rays of summer and not vanish before
the assaults of any passing chinook.
The early winter SHOWS, it is said, were
followed by rains which hardened the
earth's covering to such a consistency
as to make it slow in giving up it's
stored waters and thus of the greatest
benefit to the ranchers.-Yakima Dem

Chief Engineer Davis, of the recla-
nation service, has completed an in
spection of the Tieton Canal work and
expresses his conviction that it will
prove entirely satisfactory. He does
not believe that the canal will be
completed in time for the irrigation
season of 1909, and states that econ
omy and efficiency must be the first
consideration. BY proceeding with the
work as it has been done up to this
time the cost of the project can be
kept within the original estimate, and
the burden to be placed upon the Tie
ton farmers will thus be lightened as
far as possible"

farm crops shows that the return was
more. than $2,000,000 or $50 an acre.
Some of the individual returns from
orchards ran as high as $4,000 an acre.
Washington gives the first prac-
teal demonstration of the wisdom of
national irrigation, as these farmers
under the government canal have
cheerfully contributed their pro rata
charge for maintenance and operation,
and many of them are prepared to pay
the full cost of construction as soon
as the government demands it"
when the great works now under
construction are completed they will
have added to the state 100000 acres
of irrigated land divided into 1880
farms of 40 acres each, supporting g.
500 people in comfort and plenty.
There will be corresponding in
crease in population in the towns, so
that government irrigation will add
not less than 1875, 900 to the population
of the state That is one of the rea-
sons why Washington has given such
hearty support to national irrigation"
