PROFIT IN WASTE PLACES.

Many poor soils, now waste spots on
the farm, would become profitable II
planted with the right kind of forest
trees, and cared for in the right way.
Trees will often grow where grain and
grass will not. SWamps, stony ridges,
exhausted fields, and washed hillsides
need not be abandoned. There is
money in most of them if they are set
to work producing WoOdlotS and for
ests. But knowledge and judgment are
necessary, and bad guess may be
costly.
Many trees do we'll in their soils
cone-bearing trees in particular. The
farmer is fortunate whose land has no
poor spots. Few landowners are so
we'll off. Fertile acres are usually fair
ly profitable, but the gravel bars, rocky
knobs, marshy swamps and exhausted
and eroded slopes are not. Scarcely
one of them need remain unproductive.
They will grow timber-pine, locust,
poplar, Usage orange, oak, chestnut, or
some other kind. But the soil must
be studied, and the species selected to
suit it. Failure might follow the plant
ing of walnut on soil suited to white
pine or vice versa.
Oluul0S Ol various T6SlOuS anu trees
that suit them have been made by the
Forest Service at Washington. Re-
suits and conclusions have been pub
lished, and may be had for the asking.
The aim of these studies has been to
point out how the farms waste and
neglected corners may be turned into
woodlots where the farmer may grow
his own posts, poles, fences and saw
logs.
1t is decidedly worth while to keep
all of the farm at work. The owner
pays taxes on all his land, and is out
of pocket for whatever is not earning
him something. Further, by growing
a tree crop on land which is too poor
to pillow, the quality Of the land itself
is improved. Forests add humus to the
soil, lettering it's character; and it has
lately been discovered that the decay
ing leaf litter has also the power of
gathering from the air a certain
amount of nitrogen, the most import
ant of plant foods In this respect
the forest does for the soil what legum-
nous crops, like clover and alfalfa
do. Wood growing on worn out land
thus becomes doubly profitable. The
land is made useful and improved at
the same time.

TO snow remarkable expansion anu
prosperity. The nursery was started
only five years ago by w. d. Inglis,
and at that time the nursery had less
than 5000 commercial gratis; but in
this short space of time, by agrees
sive and enterprising business meth
DDS and by a scientific study of the
needs of the Northwestern fruit grow
ers, Mr.. Inglis has been able to build
his nursery to a point where it is
now one of the largest in the West.
The headquarters of the nursery
are three miles south of North Yakima
in the Mob Hill district. Here there
are numerous plants of all kinds OF
fruit trees, berries, ornamental shrub
berry, shade trees, etc. Another large
tract is devoted to this purpose near
WapatO.
I'VE have always been able to clean
up all of our commercial varieties
toch year." said Mr. Inglis, recently,
as he was showing representative
ever the nurseries. Each year we have
underestimated the growth of our
business, and the demand has been so
great that we have not only never
had any left-overs, but have been
cleaned up far in advance of the close
of the selling season. Our sales last
year were double those of the year
before and we expect the same, il not
a greater increase, this season. l
suppose the reason for the rapid
growth of our business has been the
fact that our stock is always true to
name and the buyers invariably get
what they ask for. We don't make
many claims beyond that, but that
seems to be sufficient, judging from
the growth of our business.
The plant this year is considerably
larger than last season, as the COM
pany desire to anticipate the great
growth in demand which they think
inevitable. They have planted over
million apple trees, consisting of over
70 varieties. They will also have an
abundance of every desired variety
Of peaches, pears, apricOts, plums,
cherries, nut trees, and fine stock
of roses, ornamental shrubbery, shade
trees, etc.
Mr.. Inglis is very much interested
in landing the 1909 National Nursery
mems Convention for Seattle, and had
intended to attend the meeting this
year and devote every effort to that
purpose. He finds at the last minute
that he will be unable to attend, but
will forward invitations to the associa-
ton which he has in his possession

merce, Mayor Miller, the A.-Y.-P. Ex-

valley in the last two years have
become very much interested in
a new development of apricot, which,
because it is distinctly development
of the Yakima Valley, has been named
the "Yakimene."
in many ways, the Yakimene is re-
markable fruit and one which recon-
mends itself to the grower on account
of the promise it gives in profit on the
early market The Yakimene is not a
seeding, but is very large apricot
of the very best quality. The fact
concerning it which makes it unusual
and espe cially attractive to the North
western grower is that it ripens with
the Alexander peach, thus being one OF
the earliest fruits to reach the market.
Unlike other early fruits, however, it
is of as fine or better quality than the
same kind of apricOts which ripen lat
er, thus making happy combination
of fine quality, excellent size and early
availability for marketing purposes.
At present the Yakimene is to be
found in several different orchards in
the Yakima Valley. but its growing up
to the present time has been limited.
Now that horticulturists are beginning
to appreciate its qualities and the
profit that the cultivation of 1t prom
Uses, it is likely to become much bet
ter known and to be taken up by
growers in the Yakima and many 9TH
er irrigated districts.
1t is not known exactly where the
Yakimene first originated. 1t is not
known, either just how it came to be
introduced into the Yakima Valley, as
no trace can be found of it's coming
or of the source from which the trees
were introduced. The same variety,
under a different name and of very
much inferior quality is known in the
East, and it is thought that this fruit,
crept into shipments of other varieties
of trees and was planted in the valley
unawares, as there is nothing about
the development of this apricot in
eastern orchards that would make it
attractive to the Northwestern grower.
AS it grows in the East, it is inferior
to other varieties, and has not been
found a profitable crop. 1t would seem
as though it took the peculiar effect
of the Yakima climate and soil, and
the effect of irrigation, to develop the
fruit to it's very best. In an eastern
climate the fruit is virtually worthless.
In the Eastern Washington climate, 1t
bears forth into large, luscious, mel
low apricot of nonpareil quality, OF
prolific bearing qualities, and OF early
production, making it truly the pre-

mier apricot" Owing to it's fine size
and quality, it was thought at first
by Yakima growers to be the Moor
park but subsequent investigation has
disproved this belief.
AS the cuts printed herewith show,
the "Yakimene" is an unusually large
fruit, of beautiful yellow color both
in skin and in flesh, with flavor
which has been declared the equal of
the Moorpark or the Tilton. The tree
itself is a very vigorous grower, with
broad heavy foliage and of hardy quail
tiles. Another great advantage OF the
Yakimene is that the tree bears the
second year after being set out, not
scantily, as with other fruit trees in
the first year of bearing, but abund-
antly. After the second year the tree
carries all the fruit it is capable OF
holding. This feature of quick growth
makes the Yakimene attractive to
those who are developing apple or
chards, as by planting these trees in
between the apple trees, quicker re-
suits are obtained even than with
peaches, and the orchard in two years
is made to yield an income.
The Yakimene bids fair to be a very
marketable fruit especially since the
advent to the valley of canneries.
These canneries have never been able
to obtain enough apricots for their
purposes and the demand is always
larger than the supply at good prices.
The fact that the Yakimene ripens
with the Alexander peach, consider
ably in advance of other apricots and
reaches the market when there is vir-
tually no other worthy fresh fruit OF
local production on the market assures
the grower of the benefit of early mar
ket prices and a good profit on his
Yakimene crop.
The Yakima Valley Nursery, stu
ated at North Yakima, is making a
speciality of Yakimenes and are we'll
supplied with these trees for the COM
ing nursery season. They are selling
the trees at dollar a piece, and as
the fruit has become very popular
with the growers in that section, they
desire all those who expect to make
purchases to get in their orders early
so that there will be no disappoint-
ments.
The story of the start and growth
or the Yakima Valley Nursery is re-
markable one, but extremely typical
of the altogether wonderful Yakima
Valley, where this concern has only
needed to keep little bit ahead OF
the rapid development which has been
