PEDIGREED TREES

Because of the growing impor-
lance Of horticulture, the American
Fruit Register Association has been
organized in Seattle. H. NJ. Lichty,
of Sunnyside is the originator and
first secretary of the organization.
The other officers are S. J. Harrison
of Seattle, president, and M. Koran
of Wenatchee, vice president. Prof.
J. A. Balmer, formerly state horti-
culturist of Washington, will head
the scoring committee. The pnr-
pose of this movement is to prOpo-
gate and promote the planting Of
pedigreed apple trees. The work Of
labelling the most profitable trees
and the selection ofscions therefrom
is now in progress. This organiza-
ton will seek to improve tree stand
ards just like stock registering So
cieties have brought up the various
breeds OF cattle and horses.

WORLDS BIGGEST EGG PLANT

ships about 159, 900 dozen eggs a
year from his home. Mr.. Wilbur
builds his houses Sx1O feet in size
and houses so hens i'm o house of
this size He has 100 OF these
houses and they are set $50 feet
apart in rows over sloping fields.
The food is hauled to each house in
a wagon; twice a day this wagon
makes the rounds-morning and
evening. In the morning it is a
mash made of cooked vegetables
and different kinds of meats; in
the evening, or rather late afternoon
only in this case, it is whole corn
the year around. The eggs are
gathered when the afternoon feed
is given, Different fields are given
over to these houses. As the grounds
need cleansing they are moved to
renewed grounds.

In Orchard and Field
qFappenings of Moment to the Man Behind the Plow
$500, 900 FOR
237-ACRE ORCHARD

A few weeks ago a Seattle man
paid $500, 900 for an orchard of 237
acres in Rogue River Valley, Oregon
something more than ST 200 an
acre, considered by all experienced
orchardists very reasonable figure.
When money talks" thus loudly
it may be expected to be heard way
back East" to the establishment of
the natives.
The orchard referred to is known
as the Bear Creek orchard, and
comprises one of the finest tracts in
the valley Many worlds records
for high prices paid for fruit have
been shattered by it. For the past
two years it has been managed by
c. f. Whistler, a prominent or
chardist. The tract was owned by
Messrs. Whistler, dwell Clark and
Myers, the last two being residents
of Colorado. The tract is all planted
to fruit, and, considering the price
paid, it is said that the purchaser,
who is Samuel Rosenberg, prom
inent Seattle business man, has Sc
cured one of the finest tracts in the
valley at a reasonable price. The
greater portion of the orchard is
planted to pears Of different varieties
but 60 acres are planted to Spitzen
berg apples.
These $1,000 deals in single or
chard tracts in the Northwest are
not uncommon nowadays. A few
days before the Rogue River trans
action was announced, Willard O.
Lownsdale, the pioneer orchardist
of Oregon and said to have been the
founder Of the great apple-growing
industry in the Northwest, sold his
300, 900 acre orchard in the Villa
mette Valley to accompany of Michi-
gan capitalists. The purchase price
was 81 900 per acre or 100000.
The Lownsdale tract produced 49,
600 boxes of fruit last year.

BUYING ALFALFA SEED

Farmers should take more than
ordinary precautions in purchasing
alfalfa seed to ascertain what they
are getting Alfalfa seed is subject
to adulreration with cheaper seeds
closely resembling it. and the greater
danger lies in the fact that with the
adulterants some noxious weeds NAV
be introduced, which will cause
endless trouble and work in the
future. 1t is almost impossible for
the average individual to tell the
difference between alfalfa, trefoil,
and sweet and red clover seeds. AL
falfa is frequently adulterated with
these seeds by INSCRIPTIONS dealers,
who, owing to the great demand for
the seed, cannot resist the tempta-
ton. Good alfalfa seeds are of an
obscure greenish or reddish yellow
color, while the defective or i'm
mature seeds are usually brown and
generally shriveled The shape var
les, but the majority of the seeds
are kidney shaped.
Every farmer should know some
thing about the history of the seed
which be contemplates buying. 1t
is an excellent idea to test. the seed
for vitality and purity; oftentimes
seed is low in vitality and has as
high as ID to 25 per cent OF weed
seed. Such seed is usually offered
at 10 to Is per cent below market
quotations and is likely to be more
expensive than the higher priced,
pure seed.
1t is a simple matter to make
termination test. Count out so or
100 seeds of the kind to be tested
and place them in plate between
two pieces of moistened flannel
cloth. On slip of paper record
the variety, the number of seeds,
and the date. Place the slip on the
edge of the plate. Cover the whole
with another plate, which is in
verted. Keep the plate at room
temperature for several days. Ex-
anime the seeds daily, and if the
cloths become dry, sprinkle a little
water on them. At the end of
several days count the sprouted
seeds, and from them determine
what percentage of the whole mum.
Der Of seeds is good.

MODEL FLOUR MILL

What experts declare to be the
finest Touring mill in America will
begin operations in Seattleon March
1. It is the plant OF the Fisher
FIGURING Mills Company, which
has been erected on five acres OF
tideland AUDITING on Puget Sound,
where facilities for loading cars and
vessels are unequalled. This enter
prise means great deal to the
whole State of Washington; because
of the fact that it will turn out g.
900 barrels of -four day. A num-
Der of grain elevators are to be con-
structed in Eastern Washington, as
homegrown wheat will be ground.
While the domestic trade will not
be overlooked, this concern is going
after the Oriental business hard.
1t is today the only American flour
mill that has its own office in the
Far East. All other millers do bus
mess through brokers. The Fisher
FIGURING Mills Company represents
an investment of 100000. That
people have an abundance of faith
in the Northwest is evidenced by
the lumber and property interests
which already aggregate more than
two million dollars.

Five Big Soil Facts.

We live ina world of facts. Good
seed, like well bred animal, is very
essential. but that alone will not pro-
duce crop of corn You need to
have the surplus water not only off
from the land but out of the soil.
The moisture content is ideal when
all water is out that will run out of
the soil if there is any place for ii
to run. Corn is not made out OF
nothing. What is it made out of
and where does the material come
from? These are the first questions
anybody ought to ask about corn.
but these are absolutely the last
questions people will ask. The food
for plants is just as important as the
food for animals. Plants are made
Of food.
One bushel of oats requires one
pound of nitrogen to produce the
grain and straw; one bushel of corn,
l IL pounds of nitrogen; one bushel
of wheat, two pounds of nitrogen.
If you can't furnish the nitrogen you
can't make wheat. One ton of aver
age fresh manure contains 10
pounds of nitrogen; one ton of clover
hay 40 pounds of nitrogen. Two
thirds of the nitrogen is in the grain
and One-third in the stalks of corn or
the straw of small grain. The live
facts tell how much nitrogen you
sell in the grain and how much is re-
tanned. They also tell how much.

Communication

The Oregonian, in an issue of a
few days ago in commenting on the
disproportionate slice of the 10000
600 emergency appropriation for re-
cIamation purposes that fell to Ore
gon, claims that Senator Borah, by
his adroit management. hogged. the
big share of the $4,000. 600 for Ida
no; and then pathetically and mourn
fully propounds this question: Where
were the senators from Oregon when
Senator Borah was making his grand
play for the benefit of particular en-
terprises in Idaho?" And then in a
resigned and philosophic spirit but
with a tear in its voice it adds: mo
voice was lifted in the Senate in Ore
CONS behalf, though a diligent effort
and open protest, must have yielded
great results. Nothing was done. APP

have placed him in office. The con-
vention system is the greatest evil

so on ad nauseum.
Senator Borah was nominated at
convention, which. according TO
Jonathan Jr., is the greatest evil Of
representative government. What a

to have had an evil such as Borah in

Borah's nomination did not cost
him a red cent. His next nomination,
however, may cost him more than
