on the order of voting provided for IN
the rules. AS the fight stands now
there seems a very good chance OF a
deadlock. If the deadlock comes,
there is little doubt of stampede to
Jack Dowsett. In the meaptime the
three other candidates are doing the
liveliest politics ever done here, and
much may be done between now and
the evening session.
Hustace, Lane and Lucas are all
for a fight to a finish, and they will
keep it up to the last. 1t is all
question of pledges, and no political
prophet can speak with any certain
ty. 1t is clear that there are lot OF
overlapping pledges of support and
each candidate knows by this time
that, no matter how many votes have
been pledged to him. he cannot tell
what will happen in the secret voting
booths.
Up to the hour when the convention
resumed business at one o'clock this
afternoon. the big fight for mayor was
as much in doubt as ever. The three
leading candidates all maintained
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-09-19

confident attitudes, and Dowsett de-
olared himself as not wanting to en-
ter the fight till they had their chance
to fight it out. 1t was almost every
where recognized that If a deadlock
ensued, Dowsett would sweep the
convention.
The convention was a big one, the
biggest held this year, and the num-
Der of spectators was large It was
called to order without any particu-
lar change having taken place in the
situation. Efforts were made by GER

G. w. Smith repned that the law was
still on trial to give the counties the
right to elect their commissioners who
might shut up all the saloons or not

greeted with applause. The motion to
strike out was lost by a very decisive
note and motion to adopt the plat

The nominations of the city and

George Markham in somewhat
rambling speech, placed the name OF

laughter and some cries of sit down.

EXCELLENT ADDRESS DELIVERED
TO FRUIT GROWERS BY

one of the addresses delivered at the
meeting Of the Washington State iHor-

much attention and commanded the
interest Of every fruit grower within
range of the speakers voice was that
of c. L. Smith. of Spokane, one OF the
best known fruit growers of the Pa
!cific northwest, whose subject was
"Orchard Care and Cultivation"
Mr.. Smith is net only successful
fruit grower, but stands in the front
rank of speakers on his chosen sub
ject. Having had years of experience
in the work, he is we'll qualified to
give advice to younger members of the
association regarding the care Of an
orchard to insure prompt and unquali-
fled success, and his weighty remarks
along that line at yesterday mornings
session received by members of the
association in manner that would in
dictate radical changes in the care of
many orchards in the state of Wash
ington. - ~tt
Following is the address of Mr..
Smith in full: f'.
Orchard Care and Cultivation.
Each succeeding year emphasizes the
value and importance of the fruit in
dustry in the Inland Empire. 1t has
been successfully demonstrated that we
have the soil and climate adapted for
the production of fruits Of superior
size, color, flavor and quality. Fruits
of such excellence that they find q
ready market at prices much above the
general average of the country at large
The results achieved by many growers
are such that those who are most ia
miliar with fruit growing in other Sec
lions Of the country regard the state
ment of bare facts as fairy tales: too
marvellous for belief
While it is true that many ar
chardists are securing results that are
so satisfactory and profitable. it is also
true that all are not equally success
fui. During the past year have found
men srubbing out orchards, 10, II ana
Is years old, because they failed to
find any profit in fruit growing. This

joining farm the orchard gave net re-
turns of $500 per acre.
Investigation and observation of the
conditions and comparison of results
indicate that among the farmers re-
sponsibie for this wide variation in re-
suits, care and cultivation are import
ant factors
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-01-31

While this paper is intended to deal
only with these factors and with con-
ditions as they are found in the ap-
! Die orchards on the unirrigated lands;
I hope no one will assume any inten-
ton to ignore other factors that enter
Into the problem or other conditions
that may require radical modifi-
cation of methods, both in care and
cultivation.
! Conservation Of Moisture.
Conservation of moisture is a mat
tier of vital Importance in any orchard
hon unirrigated land, anywhere in the
finland empire Broadly speaking-this
may best be done by having the ground
rough and loose from October to April.
and firm and fine from April to Octo-
Der. Very late fall blowing where prac-
ticable, is the first step toward secur-
ing this. Where the late blowing is not
practicable, going over the ground in
November with disc or spring tooth
harrow will roughen and loosen the
surface so the soil will readily absorb
the. rain and snow of winter
Plow early in the spring before the
weather becomes warm enough to cause
any material loss of moisture. PloW
deep The .areation of the soil, by in
creasing the amount of available plant
feed will more than offset any dam
age to the surface roots. Disc two 3r
three times to secure good sub surface
packing Clod crush or roll to break
up all Jumps and make the surface
into a fine dust Finish with a fine
tooth harrow. Never leave a rolled or
planked surface for any length of time
without narrowing; continue the har-
rowing throughout the season often
enough to maintain a fine dust mulch
on the surface all the time. Harrow af-
ter every rain as soon as the ground
is dry enough so that it will not stick
to the harrow teeth. If the soil
runs together, bakes. or for any reason
gets so hard that the spike-tooth or
Acme harrow, will not fine it, then put
on the disc and clod-crusher Continue
this until the last week in August. This
method of cultivation solves the weed
problem saves the moisture and is
check against the apple scab. b..
Where the soil runs together when
wet bakes hard when dry and breaks
up in hard Jumps when plowed it is
reasonable to assume that it is def
cient in humus or organic matter. This
is a condition quite commonly found
where the land was originally covered
with timber or where it had been
cropped for many years. Where barn
yard manure is available, it is the
best remedy for this condition. If the
