Fruit Growers Beware of the
Fake Nursery Man.

Editor of the Ranch: Will you
please give me a little space in your
valuable paper for the purpose of
warning all those persons or parties
who contemplate the purchase of fruit
trees at this time? l wish to warn
them against buying fruit trees from
any nursery company doing business
on the contract plan without first
making sure by careful Investigation
that they are financially responsible.
Let me give my own experience as an
example.
The company which l had expert
ence with had it's Office in Denver,
Col. and had been doing business in
Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Mon
tana for year or more. They gave
references from a Denver and also
from one of our own Spokane banks,
but upon investigation the Spokane
bank said that they knew nothing of
the party. The contract read that
they agreed to set out 70 apple trees
per acre, care for, prune and replace
all trees dying within a period of
three years for S35 per acre, or so
cents per tree.
One OF their agents came to me in
March, 1910, and said that be under
stood that l wanted some trees.
told him that | was not financially
able at that time to purchase them
and he replied that he was the general
agent for the company and that if l
wanted trees he could give me a
splendid contract on some pear trees,
so L ordered 464 pear and 225 apple
trees, the pear trees not to be paid for
until they bore fruit enough to pay
for themselves.
They took my note for the amount
at 6 per cent and started to make de-
liveries last spring. The president of
the company came here to oversee the
delivery and as the general agent had
written me contract on the back of
my note l showed it to him and asked
him for one of his regular contracts
with the special agreement in it.
He refused to give it to me and l
told him that unless he did so would
refuse to accept the trees. He then
made me proposition that take up
my note for 5000 cash and they would
give me regular contract in which

Prof. w. l.. Carlyle, of the Idaho
Agricultural college says they raised
eight and one-tenth tons of alfalfa
per acre at the GoodIng farm this
year on land that was sage brush 10
months ago. The only "hy in the

selling at 81 a ton. There is milk

LUMBER OPERATORS ARE
COMMENCING FALL WORK

Copper country lumber operators

Camps are being established by sever
al OF the local operators and soon a
large force of men will be at work
The Morrison estate of Laurium last
week opened camp at Keweenaw
Bay, the same being in charge of An
drew L. Ciddings and other camps will
be started in the near future.
During recent years large portion
of the work I'm the woods is done dur
ing the late summer and fall months
instead of during the winter season
according to the general belief. Most
of the trees are felled during this sea-
son of the year and the winters work
consists largely of hauling and bank
ing the logs. The winter season Is
fully as long rs i'm former years but
it is possible to accomplish more work
in a year, and to keep the men en-
ployed more months, by doing some of
the work in this season.
Indications point to a very good sea-
son for the lumber operators. The
price of sawed lumber and of all kinds
of timber is higher now than for "A
number of years and woodsmen will
probably be plentiful this season.
While 1t is yet too early TO ascertain
how extensive the operations will be
this year il may safely be predicted
that the harvest will equal If not excel
that of other years. A large portion
of the cut will be hardwood and mine
