], /, CONROY
EXPLAINS HIS
POSITION
Would Take in Submerged
Land in Lake Michigan to
Three Mile Limit in Order
to Make Territory for New
County.

Attorney Joseph Conroy stated today
that he had not made his position re-
garding the division of Lake county
quite clear in his speech in Gary He
said the impression had gone out that
there is not room enough in Lake
county to enable it to be divided under
the law.
Conroy stated that there are enough
square miles of territory in Lake coun-
ty to make an additional county. The
law requires that when a county Is di-
vided the part which contains the old
county seat must have at least 400
square miles of territory.
In view of the fact that there are but
465 square miles of territory in Lake
county it would seem that there would
not be enough territory left. after
a new county which. according to law.
must have at least 200 square miles of
territory.
Conroy points out, however, that in
estimating the square miles of terri
tory in northern Lake county all of the
submerged land in Lake Michigan out
to the three-mile limit might be in
cluded, under liberal construction of
the law, so that the northern tier of
townships could compose a new county.
Cities Would Fight.
This would include North, Calumet
and Hobart townships. or course, the
question of the location of the court
house would be the bone of contention
Hammond could not claim 1t because
the county seat must be at least two

THE ENGLISH WALNUT ON
WEST SIDE.

While writing these notes, L have
received letter that reads as follows:
"Will you kindly give me some in
formation in regard to the English
walnut, either direct to my address
or through The Ranch. Is it a success
around Bellingham? And what
varieties do the best? Any informa-
ton you can give will be appreciated. >
on the questions here asked. l know
that this walnut does we'll about
Vancouver, Clark county, Washing
ton, and also in the willamette valley
above Portland, Oregon. The climate
about Bellingham, Anacortes and Port
Townsend is very similar to the
localities named. | see no reason
why equal success can not be attained
on Puget Sound. We have some
English walnut trees growing on our
farm in the Yakima valley, but they
do not do much good. Our trees are
seedlings, and l have reason to be-
lieve that the variety known as the
Franquette is harder than our seed
Iings and probably would stand our
winters much better. My advice
would be for the person making this
inquiry to write to some successful
walnut growers for information on
these points. If any of our readers
can give this information better than
| can, and | doubt not but some can,
shall be pleased to receive it for
publication.

THE YANKEE-PRINCE BERRY.

What is called by it's disseminators
the "Yankee- Prince raspberry straw
berry, seems to be having quite
run and is fooling quite a few people.
I have recently seen very compli
mentary notice of this so. called new
fruit in one of the fruit journals OF
the Pacific Coast. | am not surprised
at this, for | have received a circular
from Logan county, Illinois, in which
this new (?) berry is lauded almost
in the very words used in this western
fruit journal. That is one of the
tricks of the trade, that is, to get out
a very fine notice of some new fruit
and send it to the papers with a re-
quest TO publish the same. Some very
good papers vie with each other In
getting ahead in announcing some
new and promising fruit. In this
way the seedless apple was lauded as
a great achievement, some six or seven
years ago, and received a good deal OF
free advertisement. But there were
some of us that would not bite at the
tempting bait. What is the result?
Today no one can be found to advocate
the claims of this fake.

issue for April, copies this laudation

fruit paper and then adds this note
of warming: "This has suspiciously
familiar sound. We would not be
taking serious chances if we wager
that il was the old strawberry rasp
berry masquerading under new
guise. This northern japanese form
of Rubus rosaefolius bears beautiful,
large sized berries, absolutely worth
less from the eating standpoint, but
the plant is quite worthy Of place in
the garden as an ornamental. We
are fearful that it is the old humbug
making another round. "
"But," someone may say, "this
new berry originated in illinois, and
not in Japan Yes, so it is claimed,
but here is what is claimed by the
dissemination in the advertisement
which is now lying before me: 1.-The
origin of this berry is obscure, but il
is said to have originated in a small
town in this state. 1t appears that
the red raspberries and large variety
of straw berries grew close together,
and in some manner the bees carried
the pollen from one to the other, and
the new berry resulted from seed that
fell on the ground. -
Isn't that clear? Yes, as clear as
mud. AS a sample of guess work, it
could hardly be surpassed. Not a
statement of this supposed process
could be sworn to by an honest man
for it is all guess work. And yet on
such a fimsy basis the dissemination
wants us to believe it is cross be-
tween the red raspberry and the
strawberry While our scientific men
have been trying to make this cross
and have absolutely failed to secure a
plant that will bear any fruit. Should
it be said that this dissemination is
anxious to have this berry tested,
would say he certainly is, for l have
lying before me a letter from this
man in which he says that he will send
any one a sample plant for 81. 90!
And further says that he is swamped
by mail-that "orders are coming
from all sections!" This letter l may
say was not written to me, but for
warded to me from one of our sub
scribers.
If | were in this mans place. and
fully believed all that he claims about
this berry, l would not sell plant
now, but would raise millions-would
have the fruit sampled by our scien-
titic men and then upon their endorse
ment, could sell unlimited numbers
and could wear diamonds, if [ did
not have any more sense.
Some one may say: ''May be this
man is honest and thinks he has a
new berry whose origin is OBSCURE
and rests on no ascertained facts. -"
That may be. | am not judging any
mans motives. | am in no way de-
nounclng the papers that have given
help to this movement by publishing
such favorable reports about the
yankee Prince raspberry straw
berry," All wish to say is that

A good many who waited until

the great demand we were out
of many varieties. It's the same
old story every year. Always a

could have gotten what they

TREES HURT BY CULTIVATOR.

-
Prof. F. 3. Willard, assistant
superintendent of the Seattle public
schools, who is subscriber to The
Ranch, called me up by telephone
just the other day and stated a case,
and asked for advice. While l gave
him the best | could, there are SO
many others likely to need the same
advice, l will give it here. 1t seems
that some of his trees in his orchard
in the Yakima valley, set last spring,
were damaged by the cultivator last
year. The bark was in some cases so
rubbed off the bodies of the young
trees as to leave them in a bad fix.
He wanted to know if he would better
dig them out and set new ones this
spring. My answer was that if these
young trees we're we'll established in
the ground | would not dig them out,
but would cut them off below the
damaged part and then grow one
sprout L am not saying this without
experience. Ill my OWL OrCNdTuS l.
have cut off young trees just above the
ground the next spring after they
had been set in the orchard, and had
them grow and make fine trees with
out any noticeable set back. L have
had cases where the trees had been
set more than a year and cut back to
near the ground and soon made fine
trees. When we have young tree
established in it's new position in the
orchard, we have a valuable asset
regardless of what may happen to the
top; so | would never dig up such a
tree but proceed to grow a new top
when the old one is badly injured
Let me give an illustration of what
can be done in such cases. In burning
off some rubbish at the edge of nv
meadow in the spring of 1895 the
wind whipped the flames, into Red
