The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-08-01
TIED BY F. WALDEN.

Ludden's letter is worthy of COM
mendation. Far too many people
start into the fruit raising business in
utter ignorance and then try to get
right afterwards. This may be los
ing business. Ii one tries to raise
the kinds of fruit not adapted to his
locality his mistake will be expensive.
He will make enough mistakes with
out this one. When | went into the
raising of apples in Washington was
largely guided by my experience in
raising this fruit in Iowa. l would
not plant either the Winesap or Jona
than extensively. This was serious
mistake, and cost me thousands of
dollars. l am willing to give our
readers the benefit of my costly ex-
perience without any cost at all.
These two apples have proven to be
among the best money makers in the
section where my orchards are located
and now am planting them extensive
ly and have top-grafted good many
of my less profitable varieties to these
money making varieties. After some
years of experimenting, l had a new
orchard OF fifteen acres started on my
lower ranch. | have two rows of
Winesap, two rows of Jonathan and
two rows of Rome Beauty and then
repeated this operation till the fifteen
acres were planted. That was six
years ago the past spring. Nothing
has occurred since then to cause me
to regret my choice. On the 9th Of

in his automobile down to see this
lower ranch. This ranch has forty
acres in hay and fifteen acres in ap
pies. | was delighted with this six
year old orchard. There are few
over 1000 trees equally divided between
these three varieties. l never saw a
finer sight. My estimate is that we
will have about 1000 boxes of apples
on these trees. My renter is keeping
things in fine shape. Had l planted
my sixty acres in apples on my old
ranch to these varieties fifteen years
ago would today be better Oft by
S25, 600 and perhaps a good deal more.
1t pays to start right.
[ will not undertake to advise any
one. l will express my opinions on
such matters as friend Ludden asks
about and he can do with it what he
thinks best. Small fruits do we'll in
all parts of western Washington and
make the careful man good deal OF
money. The Loganberry and the
Phenomenal berry are not Identical,
but are very much alike. They are
both cross between the blackberry
and the raspberry. The Loganberry
was an accidental cross in DR.. Logan's
garden, while the Phenomenal was
made by Luther Burbank. The Phe-
nominal is somewhat larger than the
Logan and it is claimed by some to be
somewhat more productive. No one
can tell positively what the future has
in store for us and whether the rails
ing of these berries will be overdone,
do not pretend to say, but they pay
now and are likely to do SO for many
years. When it comes to the best apple
to be raised in western Washington,
I question if any variety will pay as
we'll as the Gravenstein. This apple
does better in western Washington
than east of the mountains but if any
one thinks it can not be raised In
eastern Washington, just let him go to
my ranch near Zillah. and he will
change his mind. The Northern Spy
does we'll in western Washington but
the grower will get very tired waiting
for this variety to come into bearing.
With us in the Yakima valley the Spy
gets ripe too early and must be sold
in the fall and consequently is not
very profitable. Winter apples pay
better as a rule than either summer
or fall apples. I have not seen the
Wealthy grown west of the Cascade
range. 1t does exceedingly we'll with
us but not as a winter apple. 1t will
keep much longer if raised on Puget
Sound. The King is one of the best
apples grown in western Washington.
1 would never leave the King out OF
nv orchard il located in this section.
The Hubardston, commonly called
the Hubbardston Nonsuch, does we'll
west of the Cascades. 1t is fine APP
pie and il properly handled sells we'll.
Friend Ludden can raise all kinds of
plums including prunes which is
variety of the plum. Pears will do
we'll with him and make the grower
good money.
MY understanding is that tomatoes
do we'll on the black soils in western
Washington. They will be later in
ripeniug than il raised east of the

BEST APPLES FOR WEST SIDE

q. e. Ludden, Arietta, Wash, I'M
der date of June 18th asks the follow
ing question: l am very much in
terested in your answers to CORES
pondents in The Ranch. So come to
you for advice. | am located at Ar
letta on Hale's passage west of Ia
coma l am starting 10 to make a
farm. About next fall or spring will
be ready to put out fruit; will have
about five acres ready. What would
you advise me to put out? L have
been talking with neighbors about
apples. One says set largely OF the
Wealthy, another says, the King,
still another, the Gravenstein, says
they cannot raise the Gravenstein east
of the mountains. Is this fact? |
suppose winter apples pay the best.
Would like to have you answer through
The Ranch any time between now and

lis there money in tomatoes? All
kinds of small fruits do we'll here. The
Logan berry is recommended as a
money maker. Is there any differ
ence between the Loganb cry and the

ed Paradise Valley railroad, arrived
from Salt Lake City Thursday evening,
in the interest Of his new line. When
seen at the Lafayette today by rep
resentative of the Silver State and ask
ed as to what progress he was making
in his new venture, Mr.. Jacobs replied:
"Seventy per cent of the necessary
bonds for the building of the new road
have been taken care of, and the re-
naming 30 per cent, amounting to
$150,000, has been apportioned to this
county, and my visit at this time is
for the purpose of selling these sesuri-
ties. The bonds have been issued in
denominations of $500 and $1,000, run
for 20 years, bear six per cent inter
est, payable in semi annual install
ments, and are being sold at 90 cents
on the dollar. Purchasers will thus be
given return of nearly seven per cent
on their investment, which, consider
ing the nature of the securities. should
make them gilt t-edged. Z"
In answer to question as to how
the bonds were selling, Mr.. Jacobs re-
Piled:
tIn an entirely satisfactory manner
Present indications are that the money
will be raised in time to begin the con-
struction of the new road about the
middle of May. If this proves to be
the case, the line should be completed
