WALDEN ON COVER

HORTICULTURAL EDITOR OF THE

ENCE WITH ALFALFA AND
RECOMMENDS 1T IN ORCHARDS

Inasmuch as the orchard cover
crop is engaging the attention of up
to-date horticulturists, the following
from Rev. F. Walden, horticultural
editor of the Ranch, will be of in
terest:
The readers of the Ranch know
that l have been trying to impress
upon their minds the importance of
restoring the fertility of the soil in
their orchards by the growing of
legumes. Many of our readers are
much interested in this movement.
AS have frequently stated, much of
this work with us is in the expert
mental stage. The government.
through Prof. C. v. Piper, the agros-
tologist of the department of agricul-
ture, has been aiding us by furnish
ing seeds of various kinds of leg
umes. Some time since made a re-
port to Prof. Piper showing what we
had done. I am much pleased to

YAKIMA IS VERY
BITTER

A number of local citizens returned
this morning from Spokane where
they have been in attendance at the
National Apple show. Everyone is
unanimous in the verdict that We
natchee leads all other districts in
the exhibits. AS far as the box ex-
hibits are concerned. there is nothing
to it, Wenatchee is far in the lead.
1t seems to be the opinion, however,
that Hood River will get the car
load prize owing to the handicap.
The Oregon section has a fine car
load of Spitzenbergs on exhibit.
Spitzenbergs are valued at 100 per
cent, while Winesaps run from 20
to so per cent. a big handicap in
favor of the yellow apple. 1t is con-
coded, however, by everybody who
has seen the two exhibits that We
ratchee, as far as general perfection
is concerned, is far ahead of the
Yakima or Rood River apples. The
Yakima people at the apple show are
very bitter and It is said that If We
natchee should be fortunate enough
to win the carload prize this year
that the Yakima people would tear
the show to pieces.

publish the following very interest
ing letter from Prof Piper as it
throws much light on this very in
teresting question of the growing of
legumes in our orchards.
Mr.. F. Walden,
Seattle. Washington.
Dear Mr. Walden: l am just back
in the Office and find your letter of
August 25th, together with extracts
from the Ranch giving your results
thus far with the green manure
crops; for all of which / am greatly
obliged. had seen your article be-
fore, and was much interested in it.
do not know that we have any other
legumes that I can send you that are
likely to be as good as those already
sent, but when anything promising
turns up l shall be glad to send it to
you
Il am inclinde to think that your
conclusion that alfalfa is the best
green manure crop in your orchard
is likely to prove to be true. was
much struck with the way it was
growing throughout the orchard
when / last visited you. l was re-
Gently in Florida, and had the pleas
ure of examining two orange or
hcards side by side in one of which
the ground was kept clean-killed, n
the other the owner did nothing but
NOW the grass and weeds at frequent
intervals. allowing the mulch to lie
on the ground. Artificial fertilizer
was applied to both groves in ap-
prOximately the same amount. In
the grove treated by the mulch sys-

tenn the trees were at least so per
cent better than the adjoining trees
treated by clean culture. OF course.
am aware that there is yet much
to be learned regarding the value of
clean culture as compared with the
mulch system, but am inclined to be-
lleve that where there is plenty of
water available that the mulch sys-
tenn, especially where you can grow
legume, is in the end going to give
the best results. It would be an ex-
tremely interesting thing If it were
possible to try this out on your
place; having alfalfa in one orchard
and simply moving it for mulch, and
clean cultivating an adjoining
block. My guess would be that the
mulched portion would, under your
conditions be better than the cult
waited portion.
Il am sorry to have missed you
when was IN seattle, but the next
time / am out that way l will see
that this does not happen.
Yours very truly,
"A. v. PIPER,

Prof. Piper, as our readers know
IS the very highest authority on the
growing of legumes and the use of
mulch. He travels all over the United
States in studying these things. l

his approval. His suggestion that
We try this out on our place is a
good one and we shall heed it. l

Daily World: There cannot be i'm
agined a more ideal outdoor life
than the growing of fruit. 1t is
healthrul and brings a man in close
touch with nature, inspiring the best
that is in him. Take for instance the
fruit growers of this valley, most of
them have fine homes, modern
houses, electric lights, telephones and
within a few minutes ride of the
city of Wenatchee"
Will Build Electric Lines.
1t is but a question of very short
time when the valley will be a net
work of electric lines-just the same
as Yakima is being networked now
Competent engineers estimated two
years ago that an electric line be-
tween Wenatchee and Leavenworth
would be a paying venture. 1t is
only a question of few years when
this main line will be built, with
feeders all through the valley west
of the CITY,
From Yakima up the Natchez val
ley there was built some two years
ago an electric line IA miles long.
From the annual statements the first
of the week it was shown that the
net revenues of the past year for
this line was $350,000, and yet the
Matches valley could not begin to
furnish a tonnage equal to that of
the Wenatchee valley from this city
tc Leavenworth.
Building Modern City.
AS result of the wonderful ap-
pie growing qualities of the Wenat-
chez and Columbia river valleys a
modern city is being erected here.
Over a million dollars has been ex-
pended this year in public and pri-
vate enterprises. Indications for the
coming year are to the effect that
double this amount will be expended
next year.
No Danger of Glut to the Market.
The question has often been asked
by those not conversant with the ap-
pie situation as to whether or not
there was not danger of an over
production of this commodity. Sta
tistics made by the agricultural de-
partment show that for the past 25
years the apple production has grad
ually decreased while the people of
the United States have been educated
to the use of apples. Markets have
been expanded and as long as the
Wenatchee valley can raise the red
apple of the present standard there
are no fears but what the top prices
can always be secured for the We
natchee products.

here is very heavy. IL there are more
than twenty rods i'm n single line it
will be necessary TO brace line post
midway between the corners 10 stretch
from, as more than twenty rods can
not be frightened satisfactorily at one
stretch.
Wherever gate is TO be put i'm the
posts will have to be braced solidly.
a good way TO do this is TO put in
posts that will extend about twelve
feet above the ground and connect the
tops with a strong wire. This method
OF bracing cannot be used with cement
posts. as they will not stand much
lateral strain.
swinging gate is by far the mos.
convenient. provided it is properly put
In. 1t should be well enough braced
so that it will not sag and drag on the
ground. In places where the snow is
likely to drift a gate that can be adj

convenience. Fig. = shows n conven-
lent and easily constructed type OF
wooden gate. For road gates and at
other places where appearance counts
for anything an iron gate is preferable
1t looks better and is more durable,
but the cost is considerably greater.
