TREES PLANTED BY
CONTRACT
HOW THE TREES WE'RE PLANTED
FROM WHICH THE PRIZE AP-
PAID 3 CENTS PER TREE.

But few growers minimize the i'm
portance of careful planting though
the experiment stations in the diff
ferent states have found that trees
planted without carefully placing the
roots have done as we'll as those
where more care was taken. D. B.
Fuller this morning, in talking of
this matter cited the fact that the
prize apples that are being exhibited
this year by the Wenatchee CONNER
cial club were grown from trees that
were planted as lily as any that were
put in the ground in this valley. E.
V. Martin owned the land eight or
nine years ago of which the ]. Nessle
five-acre tract is part. Mr.. Martin
contracted for the planting of the
place to couple of young men who
have since departed from this valley.
They were to get cents for each tree
planted. The two of them averaged
about 900 trees per day, cOnse-
quently it is evident that little care
was taken in the planting. The sys-
TEN adopted was that one of the boys
took a long handled shovel and go
ing along ran it into the ground the
depth of the shovel and then the dirt
would be pressed back. The other
man wrapped the roots around the
trunk of the tree and pressed it into
the opening in the ground as far as
he could. The dirt would then be
pressed back and that was all there
was to the planting. This was how
the Joe Nessle orchard was planted
from which the prize Winesap apples
were grown this year. Several grow
ers heard Mr.. Fuller tell this story
this morning, and while they all
considered that trees make the best
growth with careful planting, yet it
