italian military plume, one of the
spoils of an European trip. This fall
she decided to trim a hat with it and
sent it to the milliner's. But when the
hat came home the plume was so
overpowering that it dwarfed both the
hat and the wearer and she decided
that it should be suppressed. This
she found was no trivial matter for
the stem of the plume was so large
that no ordinary scissors would make
any impression on it and she finally

SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTE.

Of the spring series of Farmers
Institutes one of the best attended
and most effective was that at Ana
cortes beginning June 1. Only that
at Monroe equalled this. Excellent
music and cross-fire of questions in
terspersed the exercises, giving spice
and interest to the meeting. Chalr-
man w. f. Robinson OF the committee
of arrangements presided.
Prof. Severance opened the proceed
ings with an interesting talk on soil
elements and soil fertility, including
a graphic description of the effects OF
cultivation upon moisture and fertili-
zation.
Prof. Melander delivered an address
on plant diseases, including discus
sion of the various forms Of mildew
and fungus diseases common to this
region that affect orchards and veg
etables. He stated that the black
spot which attacks the bark of fruit
trees is far the most dangerous OF all
the diseases or pests known here, yet
it readily yields to spraying with lime
anu sulphur, or with Bordeaux mixture
which is also an almost certain pre-
ventive of all other bark, leaf, flower
or fruit diseases.
Prof. Melander opened the afternoon
session with question box" after
which J. M. Harrison of SedrO-Wool
ley addressed the institute on the i'm
portance of the Alaska YukonPa
Exposition to the varied interests OF
Skagit County.
Prof. Severance talked very instruct
lively of soil cultivation, drainage and
farm management, covering many i'm
portant subjects along those lines and
drawing out many questions from In
terested growers.
Prof Melander devoted most Of his
time in the afternoon to discussion
of pests and how to get rid of them

and vegetable growers and was replete
with much-needed information about

Mr.. Fred Weise, Condor, Gillian
County, Oregon, under date of June l,
writes as follows: 81 have been read
ing your interesting articles in The
Ranch for the past three years, and
take the liberty to trouble you with
few inquiries. First. Can you tell
me what kind of apple the inclosed
sample is? Also if it is good market
apple? The tree is a very upright
grower and the apples grow in clus-
tiers of two or three close against the
limbs. The tree is a late bloomer
and the apples remain hard and firm
all winter. Also / would like to know
what to do for the aphis. They are
injecting my cherry trees very badly
the last years growth is almost COW
cred with them. 1 have more crab
apple trees in my orchard than want.
Would you advise top-grafting them
or pulling them out?"
The apple sent is the Yellow New
town Pippin-is a very valuable apple
and sells very high in the markets.
For the aphis on the cherry trees
spray with kerosene emulsion or whale
oil soap l would top-graft those crab
apple trees.
The crop prospects have not mate
rally changed since our last issue.
Throughout most of the Mississippi
valley the apple crop will be short.
This does not mean such a failure as
we had last year, but it means less
than a heavy crop. The crop is not
phenomenally heavy in the Pacific
Coast states. Peaches will be short in
most parts of Colorado, but pretty
good in the Northwest. Pears are a
good crop in these parts, where the
blight has not found an entrance. The
prospects now are that all tree fruits,
both pomaceous and drupaceous, will
bring fair price, but not such ex-
ceedingly high prices as prevailed last
year 1t will pay every grower to take
good care of his fruit, thin it properly
and then put it up in first-class shape.
Good fruit will bring in good money.
There is nothing in the reports to dis
courage the careful fruit grower. Some

divorce that a law be enacted to
provide hat no persons be allowed
to marry until they have given at
least twelve months notice to a
