will grow Iuxuriantly. Given good
soil which is very abundant, the next
thing to be considered is what is over
head. Sunshine and heat are in
dispensible factors in growing high
grade apples. Where clouds hang
continuously over country apples
will not color we'll. No one will dis
pute this if he knows anything about
the matter. A man the other day
said to me, IL live on one of the
islands of Puget Sound where we
rarely have any fogs and as result
our apples color very we'll" He
asked me what | thought about the
matter as he had presented it. l told
him that the absence of fogs would be
a decided factor in the coloring OF
apples. There are ten elements OF
fertility necessary to the growing OF
trees as we'll as all kinds Of vegeta
bles. Seven of these must be in the
soil or must be put there; one, car
bon, is constantly abundant in the air
every where and is never lacking and
two are in water wherever found. Ii
one or more elements are lacking in
whole or in part in the soil, we can
supply the deficiency, it the water is
deficient we may supply that but
what is overhead in the sunshine and
heat we can not supply. We must find
