PETER ROWLAND N
YAKIMA

Peter Hovland, formerly well
known in this valley, has gone to
Yakima and the Yakima Republic of
recent date contains the following
communication on commercial or
charding from Mr. Hovland:
Please give me space for the fol-
lowing: What shall I do with my
peach trees? Shall l but them over
to prunes, plums or other varieties
of the stone fruit family? Shall l
grub them cut and plant other varie-
ties, or shall ! let them go and not
touch them at all? These are the
Questions every fruit grower is think
ing about at present, and within a
few days it is time for budding, so
the questions have to be taken under
consideration at once.
Il will tell you, Mr. Fruit Grower,
my opinion.
eff you have an old peach orchard
-12 years or older-grub it out and
plant apple trees The trees are too
old to be budded.
''If you have young trees, the ques-
ton will then be what varieties of
the stone fruit family are or can be
made the best money maker? You
have to figure this out yourself, and
If you find out that prunes or plums
pay better than peaches, bud your
trees over; if you find out that cher
ries pay better than peaches, bud
them over; if you find that apples
beat them all, grub your peach trees
out and plant apple trees; but re-
member everything must be taken
into nsijeration-time, work, as
well as the cost of the trees, as the
cost of budding.
ITO prevent frost winter killing the
buds. it is good thing to first late
in the fall prune the peach trees
and then spray them with thick lime
water and give them a whitewash SO
as to cover them entirely. BY doing
SO, the trees will be kept back in the
spring, too. so the blossoms will not
come out as early as on uncovered
trees and the risk of frost injuring
the blossoms will be less; but the
crop will be ready for market as
early as on uncovered trees, and
great success at cost OF 10 cents
on an average to the tree"

On May % the Great Northern
railroad will start the first through
passenger service from Chicago to
Seattle without change, using eight
handsomely equipped trains for the
service. The new plan has been
adopted in view of the heavy travel
expected to the A.-Y.-P. exposition
and the exposition officials have ex-
pressed great pleasure at the action
of the railroad company. The North
ern Pacific will follow suit with
through train to Chicago.
The Great Northern has provided
new equipment for the Oriental Linn
tied when it puts on the new service
and the trains will be the finest In
the west, electric lighted through
out and modern in every way. The
running time from Chicago to Seat
tie will be hours and with the
change at ST. Paul eliminated, travel
to the northwest will be much more
comfortable and attractive than ever
before. The new improvement puts
the Hill lines fully on q par with the
southern systems which operate such
handsome trains to California. Wash
ington can now boast as fine and as
fast a service as her southern rival.
