write from Kansas about coming to
Washington where she can have plenty
of fruit. Kansas in many respects is
a good fruit country, still If one
wants to claim superiority in some
respects for Washington, Oregon and
idaho fruits, shall not complain. n
ten acre fruit farm located in any of
the warm, irrigated valleys on the
Pacific Coast, is a delightful place to
live. But l must give Mrs. McFar-
land word of advice: never think
of buying a place anywhere without
seeing it. Come out and look over
the country and make yourself &C
quainted with the conditions before
buying and be careful not to fall into
the hands of a certain class of land
boomers. Take only the advice OF
those who have no interest in the SELL
ing Of lands. know such advice may
hit some who do not deserve such
treatment. l know some men in the
real estate business who would scorn
to deceive anyone but it is well known
that some Of this class are in the
business "for revenue only" The
innocent must suffer for the sins of
the guilty. 'Old Dog Tray was
fine old fellow but he suffered because
he was found ia the company of lot
of worthless ours.

For every one part in the Farquhar, there
are about fuDo parts on other saw mills-two
parts to oil, to cause friction, to make trouble.
Our fifty-four years working experience have
shown us what is not needed, as well as what
is needed in making good saw mills.
So-the Farquhar has become the "trou-
ble-proof' saw mill-quet, safe, easy-run-
ming. No mill cuts more lumber per day
than the Farquhar; none is so saving of
fuel, lumber and work.
There has never been any question as to the

inquiry about his apple trees. He
has 200 apple trees that look we'll but
he saws he does not get hardly any
apples that are fit to sell. From what
he writes 1 Judge that his trees are
infected with woolly aphis and that
certain fungouS groWths attack his
apples. There are two stages of the
woody aphis, one the root form and
the other makes its appearance on
the body and limbs. Some of our en-
tomologists seem to think that there
are two insects, one working on the
roots and the other on the limbs. l
am confident this is mistake. 1t is
the same insect which spends the win
ter on the roots and the summer on
the limbs. Ii we seek to destroy it

mend tobacco dust or tobacco stems

by boiling the tobacco in water and
then pouring the liquid around on
the roots after removing the surface

it in the right way and enough OF 1T.
For fungus diseases we must use
the Bordeaux mixture as spray and
the time of spraying will depend on
the kind of fungi we have to deal
with. l have in private letter advis-
ed Mr.. McKinnon to visit Prof. Law
renee at Puyallup which Is but three
miles away, and consult him as to
the nature of the fungus attacking
his apples as we'll as to learn when to
spray, how to apply the remedy and
all the necessary steps to successfully
combat the diseases attacking his trees
and his fruit. | would consider it
fortunate thing for me ii Prof. Law
renee had charge of an experiment

OPENING OF YAKIMA RESERVA-
TON

Joseph Melvin, Arbuckle, Callfor
MIA, writes, March 5th: "Could you
give me any information in regard to
opening of the Yakima Indian Reser-
vation? | would like to get piece of
land if | possibly can. Ii you can
give me the terms and the time of
opening and any other information
IN regard to filing, l would be very
thankful to you"
This letter was addressed to me as
Horticultural Editor of The Ranch
and in care of the paper | would
gladly answer the inquiries if l could.
While [ live in Seattle, my fruit ranch
is within one mile OF the Yakima
Indian Reservation. Though l am
very often on the Reservation
and frequently spend some time in
Toppenish which is the largest town
on the Reservation, | can not answer
one of these questions. For years the
announcement has often been made
that in few months the Reservation
would be thrown open but some con-
tingencies have always arisen so that
the opening has been delayed again
and again, and for anything L know
definitely, is as far off now as ever.
There is a great deal of red tape in
the movements of the Government and
I presume in many cases that is un-
avoidable but it puts veil of uncer-
taInty over the whole thing. A great

last ten or twelve years asking ques-
lions very similar to these. l have

But as this letter was addressed to
me as Horticultural Editor of The
Ranch, thought it might reach the
inquiries of others. Although this
has nothing to do with horticulture, L
would not be such chump as not to
answer an honest inquirer if | could.

Cole Friday.
There was no tendency on the part
of the Chicago players to excuse their
two defeats. The men accepted them
and now without seeking to account
for the past are devising means of
turning defeat into victory by two
straight victories here
Reulbach declared he was ready for

their winning streak. Re6bach has
