Perpetual Sunshine

The time of year is now at hand
when the continual sunshine in this
valley prevails. this intense light to-
gether with the peculiar reflections
from the ground causes uncomfort'
able and annoying eye troubles,
headaches, etc. In great majority
of cases an error of refraction is the
primary cause and the intense light
serves to aggravate the troubles. II
your eyes annoy you and give you
pain. call upon Chas. Gasho. OPTIC

STARTLING FIGURES SHOW
EXTENT OF LUMBER OUTPUT

During the year 1908 81, ,231 saw
mills in the United States manufac-
tured 33. .2S9. .369. 900 feet of lumber
according to a preliminary report
just issued by the bureau of the cen
sus. These mills also cut 1906
1873. 600 shingles and 2,9S6. .6S4 200
lath.
Lumber manufacturing. like every
other industry, felt the effects of the
business depression which began in
October. 1907. Consequently the
production in 1908 was below that
for the previous year. In 1907 the
cut of the 2S.S50 sawmiIls was 40
256. "a 900 feet, the highest pro-
duction ever recorded. Notwith-
standing. therefore. that in 1908 re-
ports were received from per cent
more mills than in 1907. the de-
crease in lumber cut reported by
them was slightly over II per cent.
Washington. as for several years
past. still ranks first among the
states in lumber production. its cut
in 1908 being 5.92S.000 feet, a
decrease of 22.S per cent over the cut
in 1907 Nearly all the lumber man
ufactured in Washington is Douglas
fir. the market for which was seri-
ously affected by the panic.
Louisiana ranks second, with q
1872. .421 900 feet, a decrease of 25O
million feet. or 81 per cent, over the
cut in 1907 Louisiana is first in
the production of both yellow pine
and cypress. Cypress is a particular
ly useful and valuable wood. and ap-
parently the manufacturers of it did
not suffer as severely from dull times
as did the manufacturers OF yellow
pine and Douglas fir
Mississippi was the third state in
lumber production in 1908. with a
total of 1000 feet. a de-
crease of II per cent from the cut in
1907. Arkansas ranked fourth, with
1856, ,991,000 feet, a decrease of
nearly z per cent over the previous
years output; and Wisconsin fifth.
with 1,613, 1000 feet, against q
003, ,279. 900 feet in 1907.
In Texas. where the lumber i'm
dustry is confined almost exclusively
to yellow pine, the falling off was
very heavy. The total cut OF the
state in 1908 was 1,524. 900 feet.
a decrease of 31.6 per cent over the
cut in 1907
Eight other states manufactured
more than l billion feet each of lum-
ber last year. In the order of their
Importance they were: Michigan. Or
egon. Minnesota, Pennsylvania. Vir-
ginia, Alabama. North Carolina and
West Virginia California and
Maine. other states which reported
more than l billion feet each in the
year of 1907. went just below that
figure in 1908. The totals for few
states were greater in 1908 than in
1907, but this was chiefly due to
the larger number of reports secured
in those states in 1905
Yellow pine, Douglas fir. white
pine. oak, hemlock and spruce, in
the order named, were the woods cut
into lumber in the largest quantity.
Yellow pine has ranked first since it
surpassed white pine in the latter
sos. and is still far in the lead.
More recently white pine has also
been superseded. by Douglas fir, so
that now it occupies third place

CuItivatinq the Orchard.

Cultivation of the orchard is main.
ly for conserving the soil moisture If
cultivation is begun early in the sea-
son and continued till midsummer
growth of wood will be stimulated and
fruit developed. Less moisture in
late summer and early fall is desired,
so that wood will properly develop
and harden to be able to stand the
cold of the following winter. Arrange
to cultivate the orchard early in the
summer and have the soil in good fix
for sowing to rye or other crops to-
ward the last of the summer The
cover crop will afford some good Win
ter pasture, will keep hilly land from
washing, and may be plowed under
the following season for green ma
nuring and the formation of humus.
