HORTICULTURAL SHORT
COURSE
Asotin County Fruit Grower Who
Attended Gives His Views
of Benefits Obtained

The following letter written by c..
S. McCready, a fruit grower of Aso-
tin county, to the Charleston Repub-
lie, gives an idea of how profitable
those who attended the recent short
course in horticulture deemed the
school and what benefits they derived
from it. Nothing said or written is a
better testimonial OF the great bene-
fits Washington State College, with
its various branches of horticulture,
agriculture live stock, etc. are to
the people of the state, than the bare
facts as they are learned by those
who attend and are in a position to
know. Mr.. McCready's letter follows:
Editor Republic-D Dear Sir; While
at Pullman / have taken the short
course in horticulture, which | en-
Joyed very much A great many sub
Jects We're handled and were a bene-
fit to me as we'll as to the rest of
the class. BY the way, the class num-
bered 125 short course students, and
(sorry TO say | was the only one
from Asotin county. This made one
feel small among so many. British
Columbia had some 80 students. Last
year but three attended, so you see
the good advertising the school re
ceived. Spokane, Wenatchee, Ellens-
burg, Kennewick, Cashmere aud Ia
coma were in attendance.
The man from Tacoma gave his
experience and showed what a bene-
fit the advice from the Professors
Thornber, Melander and Beatty had
been to him. He with another man
had purchased an orchard and
thought fruit would grow anywhere
without much work. But they chang
ed their minds after the first crop
The proceeds from the first crop
gave them net returns of some SIPS.
They had some ten acres of mixed
fruit.
This discouraged them and they
were about to give up. The old gen
tleman, however. thought he would
try again, and as he heard Of Prof
-Ib9frucrs iisetI1e on How 20 Treat
an Orchard" he began a CORE
spondence with the different profess
sors.
He had not used any spray for the
first crop. but on the second crop al
the right time he had pruned and
sprayed and handled the orchard un.
der the college advice. and after mar

you see different methods bring bet
ter results.
The old gentleman was here to get
more of the lectures and went back
home with better encouragement. say
ing he would make it more this year.
So this is my advice to all of my
old friends in Charleston. Don't fail
to attend the next short term in hor-
uculture, for the time and expense
is nothing compared to what you will
get. / thought | was handling my
grapes in the best manner, but since
being here | find | know nothing
about their culture The same with
the apple and cherry.
Prof, Melander gave a fine lecture
on Bacteria of the Fly" He don't
like them a little They cause more
typhoid fever than any other thing.
Everybody ought to hear this lecture.
Invite him down there and have him
bring this lecture All his lectures are
fine, He is not afraid to tell the or
chardist if he is using a wrong meth
Cd to change and get right.
Look out for Bud moth now just
before they blossom.
