Sprouts and Runners.

If the orchard is to be plowed
spring is the best time. The more
that can be added to the soil and the
less removed, except as fruit, the
better.
Apple growing needs the same
scientific application to make the
business success as is required to
make.a success of the business of
stockbreeidng.
Spring is the best time to trans
plant hedge plants. The first prun-
ing can be done in September, when
the tops should be cut four feet from
the ground. This first pruning,
however, can just as we'll be deferr-
ed until March.
Take d man nice crate of chiocc
fruit, we'll selected and of good
kind, of even size clear to the bot
tom, and he will want some more
some day. A great many fof us
kill our own trade by putting off on
our patrons inferior fruit, short in
weight, and shorter in quality. II

Unless the soil is well aeratcd by
proper system of tillage, and un-
! less it contains an abundance of SOL
uble plant food in the aerated paI t,
the roots of plants growing upon il
will not branch freely, and hence
the plants themselves that grow up
on it cannot be we'll nourishcd.
Windoreaks for orchadrds are

a detriment to an orchard. 1t les

fruit from windstorms, but it may

we know of where enthusiasm can
be impaired so well as at these

Watch the Rabbits.

We have just been out in our or
chards and nursery and were sur
prised to find his morning that the
little cotton tail rabbit has COM
menced to get in his work. We
found scores of trees that he had bit
and some he had nearly ruined.
This is caused largely by the fact
that the late fall rains caused the
growth of weeds to be more than
normal in the orchard aud we know
the same conditions exist with our
neigbors. We do not know just
what to do, but we must stop this.
We think the first thing to do is to
clean away from saround the trees
and not wait until the last of Octo-
Der or November as we generally
do. IT they still persist there musr
be Some kind Of protection like
wooden veneering or paper wrapped
about the trees. We have notices

The Banana Apple.

A correspondent writes US in very
glowing terms of the banana apple
and wants to know if we can recon-
mend it for Idaho. We never had
very high opinion of that variety.
AS we understand it the apple ORR
ginated in Michigan. We do not
know how they happened to call it
the banana apple, whether from its
aroma, flavor or color. We are al
ways prejudiccd agains sny fruit
that is named with view to sell
ing on the market because of the
name. We have always considered
l. little misleading. However,
we have fruited what is known as
the banana apple and it was fair
apple, but never anything to recon-
mend 1T over such vari cites as
Grimes Golden, Jonathan or Gano.
If our correspondent finds it is a
better thing, plant it and tell your
ncightors about it and let them dc
likewise. But facts are what we
.vaut to get at when it comes to Sc
lecting varieties to plant, and the
best criterion to 60 by is to visit
your peighbors and see what is do
ing on their grounds.

Cutting Back Peach Trees.

Most all peach trees that have
been planted from one to two wears
need some heading back, but the
time to do it is not in the fall.
Spring is much the best as often
times the terminal buds are injured
by the winter and in this case as
soon as the buds swell in the spring
they can be cut back to good strong
buds or farther back if desired. We
like to do most of our heading back
with the peach trees during the
growing season in June and the next
cutting in April, just when growth
commences.

Does II Pay to Spray?

We have a letter from a Nebraska
s,,bscr,ber who merely asks the
question. does it pay to spray' Can
you give any figures or nave you
had any experience?
In reply we will say that we have
had a good deal of experience in
spraying different kinds OF fruits
and found it was one of the things
that paws 100 per cent on the dollar
for the time and money expended.
Here is what we get from an nli-
nois experiment station bulletin as
a test case. They tried spraying
their apples to protect them from
MUM Curcullo. AS result they
find il costs them IL cents a tree
for four applications of the solution,
and that the outlay increases the
weld of the crop so per cent; the
fruit was one fifth larger, the quail
itv was much improved and the
fruit brought two and onc-half tc
three times as much as unsprayed
fruit. The material in spl aging
cost 2 cents per tree outside the
work of applying. One can easily
figure on this basis that the spray
ing was a paying job and not only

ing moth and different fungi diseas-
