Orchard FertiIizing.

With all the boasted fertility of
our orchard land II must be ap-
parent to every thinking man
that old trees on thin land are
bound to suffer in course of time.
We believe in the renewal of fer
tility and have never found any
thing better than corral manure
and this is a good time to apply
it as a top dressing. We know a
man who at the present time is
hauling $4,000 pounds Of stable
litter weekly a distance of from
three and half to four miles. He
applied 400 pounds of corral lit
ter to each tree. II the litter is
very coarse. it is placed under the
branches along the rows out OF
the way OF cultivation one way.
If the manure is fine and can be
worked in the ground with disk
then it is scattered over the entire
area. Such fertilization applied
to bearing orchards is worth 81 a
load the first year and its bene-
fetal effects are apparent for a
number of years.-Field and

The Apple Crop.

The fellows who like to grow
big crops OF apples by simply
figuring on paper are calculating
that the apple crop of the present
season amounts to twenty-five
million barrels, which is only one
third of a big yield. We have
previously pointed out that while
frosts, drouths, excessive rains or
pests wrought havoc in many dis
tricts in the middle western, east
ern and several southern states,
the entire crop is fully as large as
in 1907 and il is better distributed.
Prices are also about the same
as last year but buyers are more
cautious for they have not for

gotten how their fingers were
burned last season. The west
came out OF the fracas as we'll as
the best OF them. California
heads the list with a normal yield
while Colorado. Oregon and
Idaho have yields ranging from
sixty. FIVE to eighty-hve per cent.
in the order named. Utah also
has a good yield with larger acre
age than in previous years. Grow
ers in Washington report yield
OF eighty-hve per cent. with a
larger acreage than ever before in
its history. For reasons that
have not been satisfactorily ex
planned the apple industry has
been decreasing rapidly in the
districts east of the mountains
since 1895 and If it were not for
the great activity OF our growers
and the opening OF thousands OF
acres of orchard lands in this
western country the people OF the
United States would be obliged
to import the king OF fruit

There should be an immediate
division of the voting precincts in

There is no reason in the world
for keeping precincts in such
shape as to compel judges to
count votes for "a hours on a

by such a plan and the law is
clearly disobeyed as it is the clear
intent of The election law that
