Edited by f. Walden

following is Prof. Melander's answer
which l gladly lay before our readers:
81 was extremely glad to receive
your letter explaining the fruit con-
demned from Orcas Island. l would
like very much to get final facts in
the case and to find out how widely
distributed this Japanese borer is. II
you have bulletin No. 10 of the
Division of Entomology, United States
Department of Agriculture, you will
find discussion given of the Japanese
species. There is a very interesting
saw fly larva that burrows into apples
in the Puget Sound district. This
seems to be very common in Whatcom
County 1t is extremely interesting
because the larvae of saw flies gen.
orally feed on a leaf diet. Another
apple pest has been reported from
Eastern Washington this year which
the farmers call the railroad worm.
| have been unable to procure speci-
mems and cannot tell just what it is.
1t may be that the apple maggot of the
East has become introduced out here
also. In case of these insects a spray
of arsenic of lead ought to check their
ravages, if you could only know at
what time the larvae are entering the
fruit.
"a. L. MELANDER."
have learned nothing more about
this new pest, but intend to keep
sharp lookout for it and will report
to Prof. Melander and also to the
readers of The Ranch all we can learn
about this insect. I wish that the fruit
growers of Orcas Island would watch
for the appearance of this pest and re-
port the matter to me. If Prof. Me-
lander visits the Sound the coming
summer I will try to have him visit
that island. The fruit growers there
will find him a valuable advisor on
insect pests.
| have a pretty long and interest
ing letter from F. A. Wanamaker, or
Greer. Idaho. He says, Don't put all
this letter in print unless you want to,
but | would like to have the questions
answered, and l would like to have
you for neighbor and my boss. l
read your articles first when [ re-
ceive The Ranch" So / will not print
all the letter but take the questions
up as they appear and give the an
swers to each as they are quoted and
then proceed to another and so on.
"What causes the curl leaf on peach
trees, and what is the remedy?" The
trouble Is caused by fungus growth
and the remedy is to spray with the
Bordeaux mixture. Spray the trees
before the leaves open and then again
with q milder solution of the same
after the fruit is set.
What causes the cumming on the
limbs. and what is the remedy?' | do
not know the cause nor the cure, and
| do not know any one else who knows.
Some things have to be endured. But
this cumming will not do much harm

F. N. White, of Anacortes, Wash,
asks the following question: Whlcn
would be the best fertilizer to buy 10Y
strawberries and other small fruits,
complete fertilizer of per cent nitro
gen, 9 per cent potash, per cent
phosphoric acid at $500 per 100 lbs,
or double super-phosphate at $3.50
per 100 pounds, and muriate of potash
at $3.50 per 224-pound sack?" This
question was submitted to the chem
list of the Chas. H. Lilly Company, OF
Seattle who is an expert in such mat
tiers, and the following is his reply:
at is impossible to give comparative
values between the complete fertilizer
he mentions and the super-phosphate
and muriate of potash, as the complete
fertilizer contains nitrogen potash and
phosphoric acid and the other fertlllzer
does not contain any nitrogen which Is
very essential for strawberries IN this
section.
''He can figure out the value OF MS
complete fertilizer very easily. me
nitrogen at 20 cents per pound Would
be 80 cents, the pounds of potash at
6 cents per pound would be "a cents,
8 pounds of phosphoric acid at 3 Genus
would be GA cents, or $1.98 for the loo
pounds The muriate OF potash con-
tains about so per cent OF potash,
which being worth 6 cents per pound
would make the 224-pound sack worth
about $3.50, which is the market price
instead of $3.50 as he has 1t in his let
ter. The double super-phosphate we
are unable to give an Intelligent an
swer to without knowing the percent
age of phosphate. To be equal IN
value to the other fertilizers it would
have to contain 40 per cent OF avail
able phosphoric acid to be worth $3.50
per 100 pounds. AS to how much should
be put on an acre, would recommend
using from 600 to 1000 pounds Of the
complete fertilizer or the same equlva-
lent of any other fertilizer; for In
stance, on the potash, a 1000 pounds
of the complete fertilizer would mean
80 pounds Of actual potash and 1t
would require $50 pounds of potash to
place on the land and 80 pounds OF
the actual potash. Yours truly,

Consider
theQuality

A good tree at a fair price is
cheaper than a tree of questionable
worth as a gift. The cost of tree
is not measured by the few cents
you first pay for it; the time spent
in bringing it into bearing and the
interest on your land are much
larger factors.
The trees we grow are superior
in every respect. Our Nursery is
in the heart of the Yakima Reserva-
ton, isolated from old orchards or
forests, hence free from pest or
contamination. This with the eX-
ceedingly fertile virgin soil and
fine climate enables us to put on
the market trees not only clean and
healthy, but possessing splendid
root system that brings them into
early bearing, the prime essential
for the commercial orchardist.
If first-class quality, prompt serv-
ice, courteous treatment and a care
full, systematic handling of your or
ders are worth considering, we
want your business.

The Original Water Wagon.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The prohibition
camel has been entered in the national
race against the republican elephant
and the democratic donkey. In q
number of states the law requires that
each party have official emblem
printed on the ballot, that no voter
may mistake his ticket.
Alonzo E. Wilson, state chairman
of the prohibition party, announced
today that the prohibitionists have
decided to adopt the camel as their
mascot, replacing the emblem of the
fountain and prohibition column.
Among the reasons adv anced by
Mr.. Wilson for the selection are that
the camel is the original "water
wagon" that it can discern fresh
supply of water further than any other
quadruped; that 1t can travel faster
than the elephant or donkey, and that
it is under no necessity of getting q
hump on itself, being already sup
piled with the article.

Bankers Oppose Deposit Guaranty.

DENVER, Sept. 28.-The most impor.
tant resolution in the savings bank
section of the American Bankers as.
socistion occurred at the afternoon
session, when the questions Of postal
savings banks and guaranty OF bank
deposits were taken up. While 1t
was evident that the sentiment was
practically unanimous against postal
savings and overwhelmingly against
the guaranty idea, q respectable
minority tried to prevent action on
the latter, contending that it was
matter for the convention OF all the
members of the association to decide
upon and not for q single section.
John Schuette of Wisconsin was the
only speaker in. favor of the guara anty
of bank deposits. He favored the
guaranty of banks deposits in
order to avert the establishment of
the postal savings banks, and de.
clared that the bankers of the country
would have to face one or the other Of
these issues.

NINETEEN DEAD IN WRECK.
FrightfuI Accident On Northern Pa.

BILLINGS, Sept. 25.-In the worst
wreck in the history of the Northern
Pacific railroad, 10 persons were
killed, eleven severely injured, sew.
eral fatally, and about 30 more or
less injured in q collision between
passenger train No. 16, known as the
eastbound Burlington flyer, and q
westbound freight train at $40 o'clock
this morning at q siding known as
Youngs Point, and about 30 miles
west of Billings. The swiftly travel.
ing passenger train crashed into the
freight just entering on the siding,
during binding snowstorm, the en-
gineer of the passenger falling to see
the signal of the aag brakeman Of the
freight train in time to avert q crash.
The freight train, which was an ex.
ceptionally heavy one, left Park City
with but six minutes time to make the
siding. 1t pulled partly on to the
siding when the passenger was heard
coming, and seeing that be could not
get the heavy freight train clear of
the main line, the engineer sent the
dagman ahead and backed out upon
the main line. The hagman got per.
haps twice the length of the passenger
train up the track, but owing TO the
heavy fog and falling snow the signal
was not seen. He threw a fusee
through the cab window as the train
went by him, but even this signal was
not noticed.
The passenger train, which was run.
ming 80 miles an hour, crashed into
the freight, wrecking both LOGON otives
and telescoping the smoker and bag
gage car. The smoker was reduced
to kindling wood, and only three per.
sons riding therein are known tU have
got out of the wreck alive.
When the relief train reached the
wreck the scene was one Of most
heartrending nature. Many voluu-
teers were engaged in taking the
bleeding forms from underneath the
wrecked cars. The groans OF the in
jured and dying were most pitiable.
Many we're pinned beneath the wreck
age, and many of those killed had
been literally crushed to death.
