Orchard for Willamette Valley.

Chas. II. Coleman, Dundee, Ore
gon. writes January % as follows:
81 wish to ask you through The
Ranch what you think of the prospects
for commercial apples in the Will
annette valley; what you consider the
best varieties as you answered Rev.
Grim how and when you would prune
apple trees after leaving the four
branches of the first years growth {;
and finally, whether painting trunk
and main limbs of tree with Aven-
arius Carbolineum is a full protec
ton against rabbits, squirrels and
gophers. as we'll as against tree dis
eases, as claimed by the manu-
facurerS?'
TO answer all these questions fully
would take all the space allotted to
me in one issue of The Ranch. Some
of these questions have been answer
ed in part, in recent issues of this
paper, but | am we'll aware that we
must often answer the same questions
over and over again and again. L
do not object to this, and hope never
to get out OF patience, or turn any
one rudely away that seeks for infor
nation. However, | will Try to be as
brief as possible. The Willamette
valley was the first part of the Pacific
Coast that became noted as "the land
of the big red APPLE The story of
Henderson Luelling, who in 1847 haul
ed his nursery in an OK wagon from
Salem, Iowa, to the willamette valley,
near Portland, Oregon, is one Of the
most romantic on the pages Of history.
This was the beginning of commercial
orcharding on the Pacific Coast. This
early beginning put the willamette
valley in the front rank in producing
apples. Some of the first apples rails
ed there were sold to the gold miners

GIFTED BY F. WALDEN.

of California for $40 per pound. In
later years the reputation of the apples
raised in that valley suf cred a decline
which in part at least was owing to
neglect of these early orch ards. l
see no reason for doubling that this
reputation may be restored if the
right varieties are used and proper
care is taken in keeping trees properly
pruned and in keeping up the fertil-
ity of the soil. The Willamette valley
is a long stretch Of country, and
apples that will do we'll and color up
properly in the higher and drier
country to the south may not be the
best to plant near Portland. SO no
answer can be given that will be
equally applicable to all sections OF
that great valley. My advice would
be for friend Coleman to talk with
the successful apple growers nearest
to his locality.
When it comes to pruning apple
trees, would say that there are two
seasons for that work-one in the
winter or early spring before the
leaves put out and the other in June.
Summer pruning is not resorted to
only when we wish to stimulate the
formation of fruit buds. This is very
rarely needed on the Pacific Coast
for the tendency is to run too much
to bearing. Any time during the
winter and early spring can be utiliz-
ed in pruning. When you have the
head of your tree formed with three
to five limbs, do not head these limbs
back unless it is to thlcken up the
top, which is very rarely needed. Ii
you cut off the ends of the limbs you
will multiply them four fold or more
and that will require much thinning
out in order to let in the sunlight.
If your top is too open then head back
till you gain the proper thickness
and then stop that kind of pruning.
Direct all your attention to keeping
your head open and your top properly
balanced. No absolute rules can be
laid down for pruning. Remember
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-03-01

! that just two things are aimed at,
one is proper shape, and the other is
to thin so as to let in sunlight and
air. When you stand before your
tree with your pruning implements in
your hand, ask yourself whether your
trees needs shaping OF thinning, and
if neither is needed, then put up
your tools and let the tree alone.
l do not know anything about what
friend Coleman calls Avenarius
Carbolineum. l may not make out
this name correctly, but that will make
no difference, for no compound can
be made that will do all that it is
claimed this will do. Nothing can
be found with which we can paint
the body and limbs of any tree so as
to prevent the attacks of gOphers.
This compound might prevent the
attacks of rabbits-many things will
do that. The best thing to ward off
the attacks of rabbits, is to smear
Cu0 JULIUS VI Jul IIoOo WILL oohAO
rancid grease or with blood. [ never
knew squirrels to attack fruit trees.
Gophers attack the roots of trees, and
nothing that can be applied to the
bodies above ground will affect the
roots so as to ward off gophers. There
is foolish notion abroad among some
people that you can inoculate tree
with some kind of poison so it will
spread all over the roots and branches
of the tree and prevent the attacks OF
insects or even rodents like gophers
or mice. But our best informed men
simply laugh at such childish notions.
One man, who was county Inspector,
published to the world that he had a
compound that you could plac in the
body of the tree by boring hole in
it and after placing the dope in TIE
hole and plugging it, the ''medicine'
would spread all over the tree and
kill all kinds of insects and fungous
and bacterial diseases. He succeeded
in getting himself laughed at. Don't
believe any thing of the kind, the
whole thing is a fake. Ii any one
makes this claim, lie may be honest
and sincere about his claims, but he
is to be pitied for his ignorance. A
man once told me that he could work
wonders in Kidding trees of diseases
by filing an auger hole in the body
with sulphur and plugging it up. L
told him to try and see what he had
in the hole at the end of the year.
What was the result? The hole still
contained the sulphur for the simple
reason that sulphur is not soluble in
cold water. When we want to dissolve
sulphur in water we must heat it to
the boiling point and keep it there
something like an hour. This we
often do in making the lime-sulphur
wash. There is no panacea for the
ills that trees are heir to, any more
than there is for the ills that flesh is
heir to.

THE BETHEL LITERARY.
A Large and Distinguished Audience
Greets the Superintendents-Both
Received Ovations.

There was large and distinguished
audience present last Tuesday even
ing to greet Assistant Superintendent
r. c. Bruce Every available seat in
the house was filled.
That the man of culture finds the
greatest satisfaction of his life in ac-
ton and service formed the besas of
Prof. Bruce's address. The speaker
took as his subject THE Temper of
the Cultivated Man"
After discussion OF the various
definitions of culture, he selected as
an example OF the cultivated ! man
President TAFT In this connection he
said:
But, verbal definition cannot por-
tray the vivid reality Happily, there
is before the nation a cultivated man
whose personality and career may ad-
mirabIy serve me for a concrete il
lustration; I mean the President of
the United States. In William How
ard Taft we see those qualities and
powers of mind and heart which dis
'tinguish the cultivated mana sincere
love Of the good, the true, the beautl-
full in nature and civilization; the de
vOtion to hard WORK as well as to the
delights of a reflective leisure, the jul
dicial habit of mind with its careful
scrutiny of the facts and its deter
mined caution and reasonableness IN

Judgment.
May I suggest an illustration
Booker I. Washington has won by
this sterling quality the confidence
of white men and black men. ricn

North and men of the South Wash
mgton toys with no fancies, he Crap
pies ever with reality Misled by no
alteration of public sentiment, he is
guided by his prompt intuitive insight
into the abiding tendencies of human
nature. He IS the greatest OppOTtun-
Ist OF our time-an Opportunist who
looks before and after an oppOrtun-
ist of the school of Abraham Lincoln.
In Booker Washington's judgment OF
what is now practicable under the &C
tual conditions of the race problem in
America and of the ways and means,
millions of thoughtful Americans have
implicit confidence. That confidence,
you may rest assured, was not won
bv a platform trick; it was won and
it is held by the actual proof day
after day and year after year, IN the
most delicate and difficult circum-
stances, that Washington's judgment
is dependable Such is the value OF
this sober quality to those who would
not merely attain leadership but main
tain their pre-eminence."

Conditions Found.

Nehemiah found upon his arrival in
Jerusalem that slavery and oppres-
sion had left the Jew in ignorance
and poverty.
Slavery had left the Jew faithless
and full of superstition.
Slavery had left the Jew disorgan-
lied and mistrustful of his brother
Slavery had corrupted the family
life of the Jew and had hindered de
velOpment
"He calls upon the elders and
princes of the Hebrews to come to-
gether and rebuild the walls Of Jeru-
salem as a means of protection and
defense
He discovered that the nations
round about looked upon the Jew
with contempt because Of his poverty
and defenseless condition.
THE same thing is true today with
the American Negro. The Negro has
almost become a universal reprOaCh,
to any community or any profession
which he may enter, in the eyes and
