The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-07-29

For the past two years we have
been conducting experiments along
the line of weed eradication by means
of spraying on a wholesale scale with
iron sulphate. We have found that
by applying twenty per cert. solution
of iron sulphate, which is approx
mately one hundred pounds of this
preparation, with fifty gallons of water,
that some of the more common weeds,
such as rag weed, dandelion, sheep
burr, beggar's ticks, cookie burr,
white daisy, French weed, ground ivy,
jimson weed, kinghead, May weed,
mustard, Canada thistle, pigweed, weed
radish, etc., may be killed by spray
ing. A great many other noxious
weeds may be killed if sprayed while
the plants are young, while there are
still others which this preparation does
not seem to kill or even harm. The
wholesale eradication of weeds is sub
iect which should interest every farmer.
We have been greatly troubled with
wild radish and we know this is the ex-
perience Of hundreds Of other farmers
living in the East and South. By a
very careful calculation we have figur-
ed that an acre OF oats, for example,
may be completely freed from wild rad
ish at a cost of about $1.S0. We do not
believe there ia any cheaper way OF
destroying this pest. Not only does
iron sulphate destroy wild radish, but
sheep sorrel and other weeds, which
often make their appearance In young
oats, are destroyed at the same time.
The oats are not injured by spraying;
in fact, this preparation seems to bene-
fit the crop. Such discriminating
powers as this preparation possesses
seem almost beyond conception. How
ever, as this is an established fact,
farmers should pay considerable atten-
ton to the matter of weed eradication,
by this inexpensive and beneficial
process.

EXCURSION TO MERRITT
Train will Leave Wenatchee Sunday Morn.
ing at 9 O'Clock

That restless individual, F. A. Rey-
nolds, has arranged for an excursion
train to start from Wenatchee next
Sunday morning, stopping at all inter
mediate points to pick up passengers
for Merritt, where he has recently
plated new townsite. A new depot
has been built about a half mile east of
where the old one stood, in the midst
of the place where the new town is
located, and lots and acreage have
been plated. In connection with the
dinner to be served at the Hotel Mer-
ritt, Mr.. Reynolds has arranged to have
berries and ice cream served free.
Strawberries and raspberries in the Ma
son creek valley are just now in their
prime. Read the advertisement on the
local page for arrival of excursion train.
This excursion will afford an excellent
opportunity for an outing and also to
see the new town site. The country
around Merritt has always been favor
ite camping place for people from Seat
tie and Wenatchee where hundreds
are often camped during the hot

"The Girl of the Hour" at Opera House


The play under the above name
which the Amateur Dramatic Club
presented to a good sized audience
last Friday night was a decided sue
cess, in financial as well as dramatic
sense. Under the coaching of Mr..
Graham, who recently brought out
"Charley'e Aunt for the benefit OF
the Maccabee lodge, the members oi
tbs Amateur Dramatic Club who took
part in The Girl of the Hour" put
up a most creditable entertainment.
Mr.. Davis, and his sister, Miss Leo,
have considerable dramatic ability,
while Harry Maston, Miss Tucker and
Mr.. Meeker proved very good support.
1t is understood that the club will
shortly poduce another play. So long
as they do as well as they did last Fri
day night there is no reason why they
should not receive the support and
patronage of the Leavenworth public.

HOIdover Senator Declares for People
Choice for U. S. Senator.
Senator W. H. Paulhamus, of Puya

Senator w. H. Paulhamus, of Puyal-
lup, says: Il know of no reason why
any holdover member Of the Legis-
lature should be requested to define
his position on whom he will support
for United Senator We were all
elected on the direct primary platform,
in which we pledged ourselves to sup
port the candidate receiving the high
est number OF votes at the polls. do
not desire to assume that single
member of the Legislature will violate
this implied understanding. Speaking
for myself, I certainly will vote for the
candidate receiving the highest num-
Der OF votes, and l don't expect to
look at his teeth, either. l will as
sumo that the people voting for the
candidates are just as intelligent as l
am myself. 1t is my judgement that
one of the very best provisions of the
direct primary law was the elimination
of the scandal enacted at Olympia
every two OF four years in selecting a
United States Senator, and 1 hope that
we shall never take a step backward
on this proposition

Charley Roach and Ted Marble
have been fishing up the Icicle river
this week and returned Wednesday
evening, bringing with them a nice lot
of fish, and the skins Of two rattlers
they killed on the trip. The one
Charley Roach killed was 81 inches
long, part Of the rattlers being broken
in the vicious fight which his snake
ship put up. The one Mr.. Marble
killed was not quite so large, but still
large enough to make a fight for his
life that kept the boys busy. Mr..
Roach intends to have a belt made ol
his skin and keep it as a trophy.

ORCHARD SELLS FOR S51, 500
Cashmere Woman Makes Fortune in Three
Years from Orchard Property in
Upper Wenatchee Valley.

/
Sale price, 800.
Cash down, $4,000.
Location, eight miles below Leaven-
worth.
90 acres, all tillable.
Ample water right for entire acre
age.
Twelve acres full bearing.
Nine acres trees 5 years old.
Twenty-Five acres !, 2, years old.

$4,000.

Estimated yield 1910, is $4,000.
Glenwood orchard was sold last
Thursday by the owner, Mrs. Louise
Grove Patterson, to R. A. Moore and
Charles Simpson, of Oklahoma, for
$51, 500. She gave these parties an
option on the property month ago.
Mrs. Patteron bought the place
three years ago for S15,800, from
F. w. Stein, of Cashmere. She was
entirely unacquainted with the orchard
proposition and acted solely on her
own judgement. Her husband is an
extensive fur trader and was in Alaska
at the time. Il did not know a
Winesap from an orange when l bought
the place." said Mrs. Patterson, But
I have worked very hard and believe
that l am now a thoro orchardist.
The property was sold at sacrifice,
but I need a rest and will travel
abroad for year or so.'
Mrs. Patterson has been the sole
manager OF the orchard. Each year
she has shipped the whole crop to her
husband in Alaska, where he has sold
it at top notch prices. He has already
contracted for the sale Of 1900 boxes
up there this coming fall.
Mr.. Patterson will arrive in Seattle
in September and join his wife for a
tour of the world, which will require
Is months. First they will sail to
South America, stopping at nearly all
the coast points during the winter,
but spending the most time at Buenos
Ayres. In the spring they will jour
ney to France and thence over the
continent. At Bremen a visit will be
made with Mr.. Patterson's aged mo-
ther. In the fall they will sail thru
the Suez canal on the return towards
home. After sojourn in the Holy
Land, stops will be made at various
points in India, China, Japan, the
Philippines, Australia and the Hawai-
ian Islands.
1t is Mrs. Patterson's purpose to
make the upper Wenatchee valley her
permanent home. She intends to buy
ten or twenty acres more where she
will again settle down after the trip
around the globe.

A demonstration Of patent milking
machines in daily actual use will be
one Of the features of the dairy cattle
department in the big livestock show
to be one OF the chief features Of the
second annual Western Washington
fair to be held in Seattle the week Of
Sept. 10 to 25. These milking ma
chimes probably will be used in the
milking for the butter tests, and the
opportunity to see them in working
order should prove Of profit to the dairy
farmer who still uses old-time methods
in milking.

ferguson Announces Himself for Sheriff

Sheriff Ferguson was here the first oi
the week and left his announcement
for reelection which will be found un-
der the proper heading among the an
nouncements for Office. Mr.. Ferguson
has served Chelan county for nearly
two years and so far as this paper knows
his administration Of the affairs Of the
office have been perfectly satisfactory.
We have heard of no one else who as
pires to the Office, so far. Ed, as his
iamiliars call him, recently returned
from Reno, Nevada, where he wit
messed the big fistic encounter, having
had occasion to 60 to California on
other business, he side-stepped long
enough to see the mill. He was on an
excursion train and made considerable
of hit as the orator sheriff from Wash
ington. Ed will likely be formidable
candidate for some state or federal
office one OF these days. He is get
ting a statewide reputation that would
be Of service to him should he ever as
pire to something Of the kind.
