Fishing Industry Shows
Activity At Richardson

J. John Troxell, formerly a resi-
dent of Port Stanley, Lopez island,
expects to engage in the fishing
business on quite an extensive scale
this coming season and has already
started to make preparations for
caring for the equipment for his
traps. He has leased the old Ocean
ic Fish Co.'S dock at Richardson and
will soon begin redriving it and as
soon as this work is completed will
erect buildings theron to be used
for storing supplies and as quarters
for his trap crews. He has also
leased a piece of ground from VIM.
Graham for a web yard and will
start building his web drying racks
at once. 1t is reported that he is
to drive three traps, all to be locat-
ed in the immediate vicinity of Rich
ardson. This, together with the
other fishing interests centered near
there, promises to make Richardson
one of the lively spots of the county
this coming summer.

West Sound to Have

The Islander has been reliably in

De the home Of new cooperative
store, financially backed by members
OF the West Sound Grange. 1t is
reported that $1,000 has already
been subscribed and that the store
now owned and managed by G. w.
Rasch is to be taken over by the new
concern. It is also stated that Capt.
John H. Boyce, the new county COM
missioner for that district, has re-
signed his position as manager for
the Orcas Lime Co. to accept the
position of manager of the new
store. Mr.. Boyce is one of the most
popular men in the county and has
had much experience in business
affairs and the securing Of his SER
vices as manager of the new con-
cern reflects most excellent judg-
ment on the part of the promoters
OF the enterprise.

Recent Cold Snap Helped Orchards

Fruit growers are making plepar-
alton for the annual pruning and
spraying season, which, is not far off .
Taking the country as whole the
past season did not do its share in
exterminating the pests, and it is
agreed that more stringent measures
will be taken this year. Indications
are that the spray will not be used
so sparingly.
The recent cold snap came to fruit
men somewhat as a blessing, for in
many places the warm weather that
preceded it was beginning to swell
buds, and many growers in the
warmer sections were becoming
worried. The cold wave drove the
sap back to the roots and there is no
longer any fear on that score.
Organization talk is in the air.
Fruitgrowers realize that the selling
plans must be perfected to the best
point. With a great acreage Of trees
coming into bearing this year, the
crop threatens to be double that of
last if conditions are the same. The
selling proposition thus becomes
doubly important, and steps to Or
ganize and to consolidate organiza-
tions into fewer and more easily
welded bodies are everywhere being
taken.

Desires to Locate
on San Juan Island

The Islander acknowledges the
receipt of a letter from j. Albert
Harrison, Of SIS South street, Oma-
ha, Nebraska, in which he expresses
desire to locate on farm on San
Juan island Mr.. Harrison says in
part: Il am desirous Of locating
on Syn Juan island if conditions are
such as have been represented to me.
Will you please hand my name and
address to some reliable real estate
firm who can furnish me with list
and description Of farms for sale on
the island and full information rela-
tive to kinds of crops produced,
market conditions, facilities etc.
The Islander knows of no section
of the country where dairying. fruit
raising or diversified farming can be
carried on more proftably than it
can here and there should be no
hesitancy on the part of any one
familiar with conditions, to invite
settlers. BY reason of the prosper
ity of the farmers of this county, its
ideal location and climate conditions,
but few places are offered for sale,
but there are always some in any
community who are desirous for
some special reason of disposing of
their holdings and any such might
find it to their advantage to commu-
nicate with Mr.. Harrison. There is
no good reason why any practical,
industrious farmer should not do
well here and the fact that most of
them have is evidenced by the finan-
cial statement of the San Juan Coun-
ty Bank, recently published in the Is
lander, showing the individual de-
posits in ADMINISTRATION to be in ex-
cess of $257, 100000

Fruit Growers Try to
Form Selling Agency

Fruit growers of the Pacific North
west held two days-session IN Fort
land the past week in the attempt t.
form central selling agency Tor the
output of their orchards. The con
yention did not accomplish all that
had been hoped for it but the found
alton was laid for such an organlza-
tion and adjournment taken to meet
at Walla Walla on February z0.
~Between now and that time 1t IS de-
sired to organize all fruit districts
not having an association and each
of these bodies will send one dele
gate to the Walla Walla convention.
when a central selling agency will
be formed.
The orchard districts of Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho were well re-
presented at the Portland meeting,
but the delegates came as Individual
growers and not as authorized repre-
sentatives of the various associations.
A wide discussion was aroused over
grades of fruit and plans of organ
lzation but the committee named to
formulate the method of procedure
reported that the meeting did not
have authority to proceed as it did
not have the official sanction of the
various fruit growers associations.
However, considerable progress was
made, as all agreed as to the value
of central selling agency and it is
expected final organization will be
accomplished at the Walla Walla
meeting.

Short Course in fruit Growing

Short courses in fruit culture are
being given this winter by the de-
partment of horticulture at the State
College at Pullman and the second
or Especial course" will commence
February 13 and continue for two
weeks, dealing exclusively with COM
mercial fruit growing in the Pacific
northwest. The course will consist
of lectures, discussions and practical
field demonstrations and is especially
intended for the business or profess
sional man contemplating entering
the field of horticulture as well as
men who have already had some ex-
perience and desire more. and others
who are in the business and desire
to keep advised upon the latest pro-
gress and methods in the fruit
growing industries.
The work in commercial fruit cul-
ture will be handled by Professor
w. S. Thornber, head of the depart
ment of horticulture of the college.
Assistant Professor w. M. Morris
will give the work in small fruit and
nursery work. w. G.. Brierly will

Much of the hay intended for city
markets is cut when too ripe.
If you have colts to break, do not
try to teach them too much at once.
It is mistake to keep the manger

winter time continually stuffed with
hay.

Gumption on the farm

10 not try the patience of the
good wife by giving her green wood
to burn.
Many man wears himself out
trying to keep up with his good in
tentions.
You are better than you seem;
better than you believe yourself to
be. So don't give way TO dis
couragement.
There are more people dying for
the lack of kind word, a pat on
the back and little encouragement,
than there are from disease.
Hot water on the grindstone will
spoil it after a little so that it will
have no grit. Use warm water, not
hot, for taking the frost out of your
stone.
What a lot of strength there is
wasted chopping with dull axes!
Spend few minutes at the grind
stone and see how nicely the world
will go after that:
Some folks make themselves so
lame kicking about things, that they
tire themselves all out and never
make anything out of life. 1t
doesn't pay.
The boys and girls get enough
hard knocks out in the world with
out your being stern and harsh with
them. Let your home be to them a
shelter and a refuge from the storms
of the world.
"Who pays the taxes?" ask Wal
lace's Farmer. So far as we have
been able to discover pretty nearly
everybody pays. The tax collector
is as relentless as death, and few are
able to side-step him.
1t helps the wagon maker to let
the mud freeze to the wheels when
you come in from a trip. You don't
need to do it, though. By taking a
little pains you can get most of the
mud off while it is soft, and so save
the wagon many yeals longer.
Do not track mud into the house.
Provide a scraper and mat outside
the door, and do not forget to use
them before going into the house.
Scrubbing floors and sweeping car
pets are not easy tasks, and the
thoughtful man will not add to his
wife's burdens.
If you are thinking of moving,
better look around first to see if the
time, energy and money you would
spend seeking a new location would
not, if wisely spent about the old
place. result in an increase Of profit
and comfort that would justify you
in staying with the old home. Bet
ter do this than be sorry.
To keep plows from rusting: To
