Fruit Growers Advice.

More narrowing and less water on
the land is advocated by Professor
Cyrus L. Smith, a practical fruit
grower and veteran institute lecturer
of eastern Washington, to produce the
best results in upland orchards. He
also favors thinning the fruit to Sc
cure uniformity in size and to prevent
overproduction, thus assuring crops
yearly. BY keeping the ground free
from weeds and narrowing once a week
during the growing season, thus max
ing a mulch of the dry surface earth,
the natural moisture can be conserved
sufficiently to grow fruit that will
command the best markets.

At the earliest opportunity members

that Congress will be forced to reason

prove Indifferent. it will be difficult to
get any action, such IS the strength of
