BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR FRUIT

Up to the present time the fruit
prospects for the coming summer are
very bright. No damage to peaches
in Washington or Oregon has been re-
ported. What the next month may
bring forth we do not know. Before
these lines are in print, more or less
damage will be done to peaches by
frost at blooming time. But cannot
damage from spring frosts be prevent

by growing legumes and we can in
this way get all the nitrogen we need
from the air without any cost. need
not dwell on this matter for l have

This lady says that people tell her
that apples should not be thirty feet
apart. My rule is not less than twen-
ty-five feet apart nor more than th1r-
ty. l would not worry about trees
that far apart and would not plant
filters. Raise potatoes and other veg
etables that do we'll there between
the rows and let the trees alone.
Whoever told this lady that the Bald

Washington is mistaken Come to

BETTER SPRAYING NECESSARY
c. P. Jensen, Tukwila, WASH,
writes under date of April 9th, as fol-
lows: "Would you kindly answer
through The Ranch the following?
have six young Flemish Beauty pear
trees which are strong and vigorous
in growth and full of fruit but the
fruit is full of brown spots which, as
the fruit develops, causes the fruit
to crack and form deep creases in the
pears. 1t seems that the lower ones
are affected more than the upper
ones. l spray with the lime sulphur
wash every spring and keep my trees
in fine shape otherwise. L also have
trouble with my King apple. They
get big and we'll colored, but most of
them are full of little spongy, brown
spots that go through the peeling
little ways into the apple. Is that
caused by insects or is it a disease:
There were lots of little white insects
on the trees last year which seem to
suck the leaves and fly about when
somebody comes near. 1t would give
me great pleasure to hear from some
experienced person about these things
and il there are any remedies for
them, they surely will be applied"
The brown spots on the pears must
be the work of fungi and the same is.
true Of the "spongy brown spots" on
the King apple. While in both cases
the spots are brown, it by no means
follows that it is the same fungus in
both cases. However. to successfully
fight the various fungi we do not have
to be able to classify them under their
proper beads. Fungi are vegetable

SEEDS. Inc SEED bearing pldnIS are
called phanerogams which means
Towering plants. The fungi are called
cryptogams which means without
flowers for they have neither stamens
nor pistils. In place OF seeds these
kinds of plants multiply by giving off
spores which having found Judgement
in the proper place develop into new
plants. If these spores can be killed
we can destroy the formation of new
plants as completely as if we were to
prevent the formation of seeds in the
Towering plants. Here then is where
we must direct our efforts to get rid
of such diseases. Once these spores
have found Judgement and the new
plant is started, there is practically
no cure, but it will run its course and
die at the end of the year. Ii we
we're to kill off all the calves till the
COWS all die we would have no more
cattle from that source. Anything
that will kill these spol es we call
fungicide. 1t is recognized that
nothing is equal to the sulphate OF cop
ger. commonly called blue vitriol, for
the killing of these spores. There
are other fungicides, sulpur is one OF
these, hence the lime-sulphnr has
been highly recommended for this
purpose but | am confident that while
valuable as fungicide, it is not equal
to the Bordeaux mixture. This mix
ture is made by using bluestone, lime
and water. There are different
strengths of this mixture ranging
from one pound of bluestone, one
pound of lime to fifty gallons of wat
er up to six pounds of both bluestone
and lime to fifty gallons OF water.
Sometimes we use what is called
double strength Bordeaux and in that
case we would use twelve pounds of
bluestone, the same number of pounds
of lime and fifty gallons of water.
This is so large a subject that | can
not take space to treat it fully. In
the bulletins and year books issued by
the Department of Agriculture,
Washington, d. G.. there are full and
complete directions given for prepar
ing this mixture. These can be had
for the asking. l presume that our
own experiment station, Pullman,
Washington, can supply in some bull
letin just what is needed in the gre
paration of this famous fungicide.
The preparation must be made with
great care or the fungicidal value of
the compound will be impaired or
may be entirely destroyed.
In the use of the Bordeaux mixture
it is generally best to make at least
one application while the trees are
dormant when full strength should
be used and then 1T may be necessary
to make other applications when the
foliage is on but in most cases, a
weaker solution should be used. To
all who are near enough to go to Puy-
allup, l would recommend seeing
Prof. Lawrence there who has charge
of that station. He is an expert on
fungi and the methods of controlling
them.

insects are that are referred to by

Down Rapidly

The ice house. which was located on
Fifth avenue northeast, belonging to
8. T1ebby, was totally destroyed by
fire last Friday morning about three
O'Clock. The structure was all ablaze
when the alarm was turned in, and
was practically consumed before the
department arrived. The origin of the
fire is not known, but Mr.. Trebby
thinks that possibly someone entering
the place during the day or evening,
threw a lighted match in the sawdust.
which smoldered along for a few
hours, or it may have been the work
of an incendlary.
There was no ice In this house, but
work was to commence at once, as the
houses on First avenue northeast and
Kldder were filled. The burning of
the Ice house will necessitate the
packing of a great deal of ice out of
doors, which will be boarded on the
sides, but not rooted. This ice will
be used first and there will be no great
loss in this respect.
Mr.. TrebDy puts his loss at $4,000.
The insurance carried beng $1,000.

Thomas y. Oren, Of Wells, MINI.
has recently been convicted OF arson
in the first degree. at Blue Earth.
The evidence was secured by the fire
marshal's Office, and the case was
posecuted by County Attorney Bulls,
assisted by Assistant Attorney General
Hilton.
The attention of this department has
been called to certain attempted ad.
justments of fire losses IN this state, on
q basis not justified by law, nor by the
terms of the standard fire policy. 1t
will probably be necessary to publish
the details of these cases for the in
formation and protection of the lnsur-
ing public.
The fire losses in Minnesota for
December were $34O, 600, as compared
with $112,OOO, for the same month in
1908. The losses in the United States
amounted to ST., 335, 600 as compared
with SIP, 9O9, 600 IN December, 1908.
Though the losses of that month were
nearly SIS, 600, 900 heavier than in the
previous year, yet the total losses
occurring in the United States during
1909 were nearly $40, 900, 600 less than
in 1903. The years total was made
w VI o. 1ol80 uuuOOA VI A4Oo GkA16 AAS'
from $50, 600 and upward and only
one loss was reported as amounting to
100000.
Fire losses paid by insurance COM

approximate total of 81. 600, 600, an
average of over 1873, 600 each month.

loss, there is the loss of life resulting
from fires, and the greater part of this
waste OF life and property is due to
carelessness Among the most prolific
causes of fires are: Carelessness in the

furnaces defective electrical wiring.
These causes are always preventable
by the exercise OF reasonable
amount of care and supervision.
