BOOKS FOR IRRIGATION FARMERS

Under date of June ID, Orlo E..
Messer, Wenatchee, Wash, asks: "Do
you know of book published on ir-
rigation, fruit raising. etc?' The
best book l know of on irrigation is
one styled Irrigation Farming" by
Lucus M. Wilcox. Is published by
the Orange Judd Company, New York.

entitled Horticulture by Irrigation. y

loaned to some one who forgets to re-
turn borrowed books or it has been
lost in some other way. Wilcox's book
will prove to be valuable source OF
information to any one who Is begin
ming this kind of farming. Much has
to be learned by practice. This is
true of almost anything. We may
know how thing is done but not
know how to do it. [ know how a
plasterer puts mortar on over head
but can not do it never having tried

result was that L put most of the

FALL OR SPRING PLANTING OF
ORCHARDS
| have been asked to give my
opinion as to the relative merits of
fall planting and spring planting
orchards. Much will depend ON local
ity in answering this question. In
mild climates where the ground does
not freeze any great depth, l would
always recon mend fall planting.
Other things being equal, the sooner
a tree is transplanted after the leaves
have fallen, the better. John A.
Valdez, author of American Pomology,
says: For the milder ATTITUDES with
their splendid fall weather, compare
tive leisure, and the soil nearly always
in good condition, everything invites
US to plant in autumn and with those
south of latitude 40 degrees, the
planting will oft times come in mid
winter Other authors could be
quoted to the same effect.
Perhaps what has caused the pre-
vailing custom of planting only in the
spring is the fact that cold china ties
where the ground freezes deep during

THEY'RE
GROWING
FINE
X>MSM

Those countless apple, peach, pear,
cherry and other staple fruit trees
in our 1910 plant are making great
strides these days.
It's the biggest compact planting
of commercial fruit trees ever put
in the ground by one management
in the West.
Over six million of the staple
commercial trees, of which 1885,
600 are apple gratis. We aimed at
five million apple, had all the seed
lings ready, and sufficient scions en-
gagged, and had the biggest and
most efficient grating crew ever
assembled in the West, at work all
winter, but before we could get the
last of the scions in, planting time
was on and we had to quit grating.
We lost enough time waiting for
scions to make total of six mil
lion gratis.
We're we'll pleased though.
Our statesmen are in the field TAX
ing orders right along. Our record
for the past year was phenomenal.
Our customers are pleased. We are
not infallible, but when anything is
delivered not according to contract
all we ask is an opportunity to
rectify the mistake.
That's why our business was go
per cent greater last year than the
year before and three times as big
as in 1906-07.
We want your business. If our
salesman fails to see you, drop us

the roots of my young trees freeze
after being dug. A young tree will
suffer far less if its roots are frozen
before being disturbed in the nursery
row than if frozen after they have
been cut in digging. Transplanting
tree or any other vegetable growth,
is war IN it's vitality. Some people
seem to think that because we can
transplant tree successfully once or
twice, the process can be carried on
indefinitely. But this can not be
done. Benjamin Franklin's quaint
saying that can eft removed family,
like an oft removed tree, thrives not
so we'll as those who settled be, ''still
holds good. Because it is better not
to transplant trees in the fail in very
cold climates, it does not by any
means follow that such a course is the
better in warmer countries. So my
advice would be, plant in the fall un-
less you have reason to believe that
the ground will freeze as deep as the
roots of the newly set tee extend.
But if it should be dangerous to set
in the fall on account OF deep freez-
ing, it does not follow that you should
wait till spring to secure your trees.
My advice would be to get your trees
in the fall and heel them in during
the winter if it is not advisable to
set them till spring. But some one
may ask, "Would it not hurt them as
much to freeze in the trenches as ii
frozen in the tield?" Certainly, but
they can be heeled in much deeper
than they should be set in the or
chard Trees should not be planted
much deeper in the orchard than they
stood in the nursery. Ii set very
much deeper in the orchard than they
stood in the nursery, their growth will
Ee slow.
If trees are heeled in during the
winter, it is best to dig trench about
two feet deep, thowing all the dirt
out on one side. Put the roots in the
trench and lean the tops against the
bank. Some recommend covering
not only the roots in the trench but
the tops as we'll. This is not always
done and not always .needful but if
they are so covered no harm will be
done. When the ground is thawed
out IN the spring and properly sc tiled
and dried, the sooner they are set in
the orchard the better. Here is where
the Importance OF getting our trees in
the fall will be manifest. If we wait
till spring we may be delayed in get
ting our trees and this will make a
late planting which should never be
practiced if it can be avoided.
Another question arises at this
point and that is, "Should we use one
year old trees or older ones?" A
yearling tree will be injured less by
being transplanted than an older one.
AS a rule | would say that l would
prefer yearling peach trees. wonld
prefer a yearling apple tree If it has
to be shipped long distance. If two

Ey nursery and set in the orchard or

idea is prevalent that we will get fruit
