tend to know thing unless l am
convinced that do. No man can
know everything and the man who
pretends to, will soon get himself
voted fool and perhaps liar, a
cheat and fraud.
Mr.. Preston raises another question
in his list letter when he asks ''Can
it be possible that the trees stop
growing too early and then when the
fall rains come the sap starts to flow
more freely, and the first heavy freeze
causes the trouble am having with
my trees?'
This might be the case, provided
the weather was quite warm and not
too late in the season. The dormant
sap in the winter time is not in the
same condition it is in during the
summer time. The food material is
in an insoluble condition during the
winter season and must be broken up
by ferments before the sap can flow.
This breaking up does not take place
late in the fall but only early in the
spring. A tree may be kept growing
too late in the season and thus be
caught in bad condition for freezing
weather, but once it really passes into
the dormant condition it will not start
till the insoluble food materials are
broken up by the ferments.

A WORD OF WARNING.

L. w. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railway, recently made
speech at Wenatchee in which some
things we're said that ought to be
needed by some people that are crazy
to buy few acres of ready made
orchard. quote President Hill as
follows: sit is easy to subdivide
acreage and sell it off in five acre
tracts as apple land. This is being
done all over the state, but it is not
so easy to raise perfect apples. These
outside districts send to WeDatchee to
get their samples. 1t takes five years
to find out their mistake There are
such companies Offering acreage along
the line of the Great Northern, and
it is a disgrace for such land can
never bear apples"
This is very timely warning. |
have known for years that there are
lands being exploited as valuable
apple lands that are absolutely unfit
for such business. | am confident
that in some cases the men doing this
exploiting do not mean to be dis
honest. 1t is we'll known that both
Washington and Oregon have the
reputation of producing the finest
apples in the world. What can be
more natural than for an inexperienc
ed person to think this high grade
fruit can be raised anywhere in these
states? But:the.man who is well &C

or early in the spring before the
leaves cut out. | would recommend
Mr.. Blanchard to send to our Expert
mental Station at Pullman, WASH, or
to the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, ID. e., and get the bul
letins applicable in such cases and
learn how to make and apply the
various remedies needed.
The curling of the leaves may be
caused by fungus or by some insect.
That must be determined before he
can intelligently proceed. Ii it is a
fungus, then use the Bordeaux or the
lime-sulphur spray. Ii is an insect,
it must be determined whether it is
biting insect or sucker. Ii the
former then. spray with arsenate OF
lead or Paris green; if the latter, then
use kerosene emulsion or some sticky
substance, like soap suds with which
to close up the breathing pores. |
would recommend Mr.. Blanchard to
spray with the Bordeaux mixture or
the lime-sulphur wash in the spring
before the leaves put out and then
the later with a milder solution.
Before 1 pass from this matter l
wish to make a suggestion that will
apply as we'll to many other cases as
the one in hand. Every county has a
fruit inspector and he should be a
man we'll posted in the matters we
are now considering. He may be the
inspector for two or three counties.
But that will not change his relation
ship to each cOunty-he is their in
spector all the same. He should be
fairly we'll informed in the insect
pests, in fungus and bacterial dis
eases and the best remedies to be
used in combating such things. Now
in his travels about over his district,
whether one county or more, it would
be of great value to the fruit growers
if he could gather them together in
each neighborhOOd and instruct them
in such matters. These meetings need
not be in the form of regular lectures
but should take the nature of con-
ferences. Each one should be en-
couraged to ask questions so their
respective wants could be met. For
instance, il could talk to Mr.. Blanch-
ard about the matters | am writing
about and he could ask questions as
we proceeded, how much light, and
how much better light, l could throw
on all these things. 1t is true that
we have an open parliament through
the columns of The Ranch, but may
have missed the very point on which
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-06-15

my inquirer needs the most light. 1t
is true that we have farmers insti
tutes in each county once year, or
are supposed to have such gatherings,
but how few comparatively in each
county attend such meetings. From
dozen to twenty such gatherings are
needed in each county. When l was
10 the institute work in Washington,
some years since, | often was follow
ed to my hotel by anxious fruit grow
ers who would keep me up, in some
cases, till had to beg to be allowed
to go to bed. The people are hungry
for such information as can be given
by practical fruit grower. No doubt
when Mr.. Blanchard reads what l
have written here, he will feel like
asking more questions. and by his
doing so could meet his difficulties
more to his satisfaction and benefit.
l am not writing this to drive away
honest inquirers. Come on with
your questions, friends, and will
answer the best can, but | could do
much better in face to face talk.

PROBABLY WINTER KILLED.

G. e. Preston, Harvey, WASH, sent
me some apple twigs that were dead
or partly dead. and asked me to de-
termine what caused the trouble and
what would be the remedy. I examin-
ed that wigs carefully with my glass
and could find no indications of in
jury from insects or from fungi or
bacteria. l sent the twigs to Prof.
A. L. Melander, the EntOmologist at
the State College, Pullman, and re-
quested his judgment. He replied as
follows:
81 have examined your twigs care
fully and see no signs of insect injury
and take it that they are what we call
winter killing
l wrote Mr.. Preston after | had ex-
amined his twigs that l was unable to
determine what was the matter and
said to him that would not pretend
to know a thing when did not. He
replied as follows:

thing that he does not, esteem very

BIG SCHOOLBOY
GAME SCHEDULED
I FOR TOMORROW
Newark Academy and Barringer
High School Mines to Play
at Academy Field.

IL OR the first time in several years
a baseball game will be played
between the representatives of
Newark Academy and B~arringer High
School, on Academy field. Orange and
First streets, tomorrow afternoon. It
VIII be a struggle between two of the
best schoolboy mines in the State, and as
both come from the same city this adds
more to the great interest on the out
come of the battle. The teams seem to
be evenly matched in both hitting and
fielding. But nevertheless, as is al
ways the case. each combination thinks
it will win.
Barringer has one of the poorest
teams that has represented the school
in several seasons. In the Interschol-
astic League they We're always striv-
ing for first place honors, but this year
there seemed to be some hitch in the
way of winning and the local High
School lads were contented to finish in
last place. Their outside games, how
ever. were well played, the Newarkers
winning the majority.
On the other hand the academy has
a fair team They have captured more
than the majority of games played this
season
Comparing the pitchers one would
nave to see nearly every game in which
the teams battled to decide. Lambert,
of the High streeters, has twirled some
grand contests, as has Smith, of the
High School. Both have two-hit and
three-hit games to their credit, and it
should certainly be a pitchers duel
from the start. Newark High seems to
have it on the Academy. in the catch
ing line. The Ridge street boys have
two of the best backstops in school
boy ranks, in Brown and Grimm. The
Academy man. Cooke. is a good back
stop, although his arm is a little weak.
Captain "Rup' Mills. of the Barringer
team. has the call on all the initial
sackers. The rest of the infield of
both aggregations seem to be about
evenly matched. Newark Academy is
the favorite in the outfield..
If the day is favorable it is expected
that a record crowd will witness the
game. Both of the teams rooters have
been working overtime rehearsing their
'rah-rah'' yells. and tomorrow should
be one of the greatest days in school
boy baseball this season. The game
will start at 3 o'clock. Two Eastern
League umpires will offieiate.

day, when Attorney-Gtnera Carmody
