Jack Rabbits Eat Trees.

Jack rabbits in large numbers are
overrunning the Lewiston orchards
section, and protection to the young
fruit trees has been made necessary,
says a Lewiston item. The rabbits
are particularly fond of the bark of
the young trees, and their depredG-
tons have resulted in a number of
trees being killed. During the past
few days men have been engaged in
wrapping the trees with tarred paper
and steps have been taken to exter-
inmate the rabbits.
Carrots containing strychnine have
been scattered in the sections where
the rabbits range, and hunting parties
have found great sport in shooting
the rabbits by moonlight.

Astcr Show at La Grandc.

Arrangements are going on regu-
larly for the coming aster show in
this city, says the Observer. Those
who have the matter in hand report
that it is now high time to prune the
plants for best results. 1t is also de-
sired that wide publicity be given the
fact that this show is not for mem
bers Of the Neighborhood club alone,
but for all who own asters and take
pleasure IN cultivatng them. Special
care should be given the plants at this
time as the crucial month is now at
hand. The exact time of the show
has not been set though it is desired
to have it in connection with the
convention Of the Federated Women's
clubs which meets here in October.

APPLE GROWING IN COLORADO
Special For Next Week

Apple growing Is now one OF the
staple branches OF fruit growing in
Colorado, and the Colorado Jonathan
is nearly as well known rs the Rocky
Ford csntaloupe.
The following points in regard to
this industry in Colorado will be OF
interest to the many people who are
thinking Of investing in orchard
lands:
The highest development in apple
growing has been attained IN the
counties OF Fremont, Garfield, Mesa.
Delta and MontrOse. The largest
areas OF orchard land yet To be de
veloped are perhaps in the counties
OF Montrnse, LaPlata and Montczuma
The price OF orchard lands is vari.
able and depends upon the location
character OF the soil, and the water
supply. Choice, unimproved land
with good water, may still be had
for 300 an acre. Improved land in
favorable locations is usually higher.
Apple orchards in full bearing are
commonly considered to be worth
81 900 an acre; this price, however, is
often exceeded.
The average net returns from good
apple orchards, intclligently managed,
viii range from 5000 To s4OO an acre.
Fifteen hundred dollars net returns
have been received from a single
acre, and as large an orchard as forty
/ acres has brought the owner a net
income OF $4,000 In single season.
While the horticulture OF Colorado
Is In Its infancy, commercially dating
from 1880, enough has been done to
demonstrate that we will soon be In
the oremost rank, and there Is no
longer any question as to the stability
OF the business.
Is there danger Of overproduction? :?
We do not think so--not OF first.
class fruit. The distance from mar
kets makes it imperative that fancy
fruit be produced; the inferior grades
are usually marketed at a loss. But
the conditions Of soil. climate, and
altitude are such that drst-class fruit
is easy To grow, II intelligence is
used. One Of the big advantages we
have Is the fact that but few OF the
many orchard diseases have appeared.
Our fruit growers have never used
Bordeaux mixture, and most OF them
do not know what IL is. We believe
that this immunity will, for the must
part, be permanent.
Our markets are world wide. as our
fruit IL sent to all parts Of the United
States. from Boston to San Francisco,
To Mexico. and Is being exported 70
Europe.

realize a price OF from one 10 two
dollars bushel for apples IL Is
simply due to size, color, freedom
from blemishes, an attractive pack
age and honest packing. The DIS
tancc from markets has forced our
growers into combinations. Fruit
growers associations are In successful
operation In all important fruit dis
tricis. a competent manager is en-
plOyed who looks after the sale OF
fruit and OF the purchasing uf the
supplies which are used upon the
fruit farm. Thus the grower may be
relieved OF all OF the burdens OF mar
keting. The growing OF fruit is a
complex business and is all that the
average man should attend to.
The outlook for the future In apple
growing is bright and offers special
Inducements to the man OF small
means. This is true. for the reason
that from five to ten acres OF orchard,
well managed, will produce a sple nd i'd
income. Any one with capital enough
to buy the land, can plant the trees
and have paying orchard In from
six to ten years time.
