BARK ON APPLE TREES.
Scraping the Rough Shaggy Bark off the
Old Trees, Destroys Injurious
Insects.

AS to the advisability of scrap
ing rough, or shaggy, bark from
apple trees, a Blair county citizen
wrote to Prof. Fl. A. Surface,
State biologist of Pennsylvania,
Harrisburg, for information. The
reply of the Professor was as fol-
lows:
"This depends upon the condl-
tions. In general, would advise
such treatment, especially where
1t is rough, scaly bark of old
trees; but if it be bark that has
been roughened by the injurious
action of oil sprays, or by burn
ing with fire or by some other
injury, | can assure you that I
am satisfied 1t would be wrong to
scrape off such bark, because it
Is to the tender bark beneath just
what a scab on an animal is to a
sore which 1t Is protecting. There
fore, If the bark beneath be ten
der, so that 1t would be injured by
beng scraped, it is not best to do
1t. In the case of an ordinary
healthy tree it Is certainly best,
but at injured places, such as
above mentioned, it Is advisable
to scrape gently, If at all. On an
old tree you cannot apply enough
pressure with a short-handled
hoe or bark-scraper to do any
injury, and you will remove many
insect pests, such as codling
moth, woolly aphls and certain hi
bernating creatures, and expose
scale insects and other pests to
the action of the weather and of
the insecticides which you will
doubtless apply before the leaves
appear"

OVERPLANTING NOT
OYERPRODUCTION,
But to Succeed as a
Fruit Grower, a Man
Must be in Love with
the Business.

Owing to the public statemen,
of Prof. II. A. Surface, State 70
ologist, at Harrisburg, that he
feared an overplanting of fruit
trees In Pennsylvania at the pres
ent time, some persons have con.
strued his remark to mean that
this would result In overproduc-
tion and profitless orcharding.
The zoologlst explains the differ
ence by saying that while over.
planting Is easily possible, owing
to the planting of many trees
dominated by mercenary motives
only, and which will surely be
neglected, overproduction will
not be possible for the reason
that every tree that is of the right
variety, and is given proper care,
will produce fruit that can be
marketed for a better price than
ever before.
Modern facilities, in the form
OF refrigerator cars tor transpor.
tatlon, and cold storage rooms for
the storage of perishable fruit,
made 1t possible for the orchard
lst to produce fruit IN great
quantities and hold the same un.
til the products can gradually
reach the consumer. Under such
circumstances the fruit can be
sold for good prices and no one
who will make real study of or
chardlng, and produce first class
fruit in abundance, need fear that
he will have any difficulty to dis
pose of his crop.
The man who has more trees
than he can give his attention to,
or, in orher words, who over
plants; who will not study the
subject Of horticulture, and con-
sequently does not become per.
sonally interested In 1t, is the one
who will produce fruit of inferior
quality, and consequently be un-
able to get rid of it promptly or
at an advantageous price. Such
a person will declare that he Is
suffering from overproduction,
when, as matter of fact, his real
difficulties are overplanting and
lack of care.
There has recently developed
common belief that it Is possible
tor any one, especially a profes.
slonal of a business man, to start
an orchard, plant, spray his trees
occasionally, and in the course of
time obtain good crops from them
at highly profitable prices. This
Is a mistake. The only success
full orchardlsts will be those who
study their individual trees as
the dalryman studies his indlvld.
ual cattle.
He will attempt to furnish each
with the balanced ration of fer
tllizer, according to Its own needs
and possibilities, and will prune,
spray and cultivate each accord
ing to the general needs of the
orchard and the specific needs Of
that particular tree. Those who
determine TO raise first class
fruits, and will study. master,
and enjoy the subject, and live
among the trees, rather than ex-
pect their employees only TO do
this, need not be discouraged
with the outlook for the pros
poets of the New Fruit Culture

DISASTROUS FIRE At RUPERT
Ferry Lumber Company Sustains Loss
of $4,000 $1,000 Insurance.

The first serious fire in the history
of Rupert occurred yesterday after
noon at about 1880, when practically
the entire stock of lumber and ma
chinery of the Ferry Lumber Company
was wiped out in less time than it
takes to tell it. The fire was discov-
cred In the buggy shed by Foreman
Kelly, who at once gave the alarm and
went at it with the hand chemical He
succeeded in putting out about half of
the blaze when the chemical gave out
and the yard was soon mass of
flames. The cause of the fire is not
known and no one can figure it out.
A large crowd was soon on hand and
in an effort to do something complete
ly Quilted the office building before it
was found that it could be saved They
also emptied the lumber sheds on the
west side of the yard and this proved
to be a good thing, as the wind was
blowing from that direction and aided
in keeping the fire away from the
buildings, these with the office being
saved in more or less damaged con-
dition. A small amount of lumber
and machinery was saved, but the
main stock was destroyed. This is
estimated by the owners, Messrs. l. R.
Adams and Fred Nelson, at about $780,
900, besides the buildings. They car
ried only $4,000 insurance, as they fig
ured their risk was at a minimum, be-
ing practically isolated from other
buildings.
Fortunately for The balance of the
town the wind was in the west and the
only buildings in any great danger
from sparks was the Consolidated
Wagon & Machine Company, and as
this is covered with iron there was
little likelihood of it's burning. 1t was
closely watched, however, by Messrs.
Vincent and DeMary and little fires
which started in the weeds along the
railroad track were quickly extingu-
ished.
This is the third fire Of series of
three within twenty-four hours, the
other two which were at the harness
shop and printing office consisting of
trouble with gasoline lamps and doing
no damage more than to scare the
owners, but let us hope it is the last
that will fall to the lot of our pros
porous little city-Pioneer Record.

Sample Of Peat Brought to City.

Great bodies of peat are believed to
underly certain portions of the Snake
river valley in the vicinity of Walters
ferry, according to information
brought here this morning by John
Daily of Silver City, who brought over
a large ore exhibit for the Inter-Moun-
tain fair from the Globe-Daly mines
on Florida mountain and on coming
out stopped at the ferry and obtained a
fine specimen of peat, discovered there
early last winter by Edgar Meek, who
has developed four-foot vein and
has used the mineral ever since for
fuel, having large amount for all
domestic purposes.
The deposit of peat was discovered
quite by accident by Mr.. Meek, who
had no knowledge of its existence in
that locality and the big vein was UNI
covered while he was drilling far
water near his place. When he first
uncovered the peculiarly formed min
eral, he was not sure of its nature
but made a thorough examination and
finding that it was peat dug out large
quantity which he dried and used for
fuel. Finding it's value for burning
better than sage-brush wood or coal,
/
| finding the vein increasing in size he
is now considering developing the
mine for it's commercial value, believ-
ing that in his section of the country
he can easily sell the produce at the
| mine for So per ton as wood is very
scarce and coal hard to obtain and
very expensive.
The ferry at which the rare MINERAL
was discovered, lies some 10 miles
northeast of Murphy and in section
where timer is scarce. The discovery
| of the mineral near his place has been
a. great boon to Mr. Meek as his sage
brush fuel supply was getting eX-
| hausted.
Peat is mineral which has been
found extensively in England and Ire
land, where it is commonly known as
turf There are number of large
neat beds in the northern part of this
country and In Newfoundland, but as
far as known none has been discov-
cred before this far south.
The mineral is a deposit formed in
hogs by the decay Of vegetable mat
ter, freuuestly consisting almost en-
tirely of sphagnum or bog moss. In
composition it differs from coal only
in the relative proportion of its con-
| stituents, peat containing 55 to 81 per
cent of carbon, while coal contains 50
to 81 per cent Peat is much lighter
than coal after being dried and burns
more readily, yet it holds fire for a
| long time.
Since the discovery of the mineral 1t
has been found that great deal OF
soil of similar character to that In
which the mineral was found exists In
sections along the Snake river ane II
is believed other bodies will be uncov-
ered.-Capital News.

Idaho Offers Complete Agricultural
Course for Boys from Grade Schools.

Moscow, Idaho, Aug. 80, 1910.-FWe
have just received and have ready for
distribution the catalogue of our new
School of Practical Agriculture" said
Dean w. L. Carlye of the Agricultural
Department of the Idaho University,
today
1.-THE same problem is everywhere"
continued Prof. Carlyle, .hoW to keep
the boys interested in and make them
contented and prosperous on the farm.
We are trying to solve that problem.
It will be the aim and purpose of our
Practical School to show the boys the
attractive side of farm life, to point
out the little crooks and turns by
which time, labor and money may be
saved, and to teach them better and
more practical farming.
EARLY in the course the boys will
work at the forge, learn to weld, tenn
per, etc.-things that may save many
dollar on the farm. In the Farm
Arithmetic they will compute rations
for animals, measure hay in stack and
barn and work out many other farm
problems. In Stock Judging the class
will work with the animals assem-
bled in the Judging. ring. Other work
in live stock will consist of course
in Feeds and Feeding, study of
breads of animals adapted to the
northwest, advanced stock judging and
lectures on the Principles of Animal
Breeding. Sufficient veterinary work
will be given to enable the farmer to
identify diseases, apply emergency
remedies and perform simple opera
lions. The dairy work will consist of
courses in butter making, milk test
ing, etc. The dairy equipment is one
of the finest in the west. Four differ
ent courses are offered in Fruit Grow
ing, and several courses of lectures in
Agronomy. The boys will learn farm
machinery from the pillow to the farm
automobile. The irrigation work will
consist of lectures upon the applica-
ton OF water to crops, measurement of
water, etc. Enough practice will be
given with the level to enable the stu
dent to run laterals and lay out farm
drains.
"We call it Practical Agricultural
School for the reason that students
are not only told how to do things, but
actually learn to do them by means of
practice work in the laboratory per-
iods.
students will be admitted from the
9Th grade and will be given course
extending over three years of six
months each. The first year will open
October II, 1910, and will close March
18, 1911. This is the first school of
Agriculture established in the north
west, and we hope to make it prom
inent feature of our work in agricul-
ture.
"The new catalogue explains In de-
tail the course of study and terms OF
admission and can be secured hv writ
ing to the Principal, School OF Practic-
al Agricultural, Moscow, Idaho"
