Bending over the humorist, the

Apple Growing II Pets

Coast contains an article on the
dwarfing system of fruit growing
which is interesting reading whether
it may be profitable to follow or
not. The Coast gives DR.. Thornton
credit for discovery which he must
have made by reading. Neverthe-
loss the doctor should be thanked
for showing how near we are to
France and England in the possibili-
ties of fruit culture. The article
is as follows:
Great as has been the progress
in intensive farming, almost daily
some experimenter announces a new
discovery which makes it possible
fol the man of small acreage to do
greater things. Luther Burbank
has led the present generation in
this work but he is not alone in his
researches. This time the surprise
comes from an unostentatious but
tireless worker in our own state. DR..
A. w. Thornton, of Ferndale.
It was announced several weeks
ago by Burbank, that within few
years apples would grow on bushes,
and that the apple tree as we know
it will be seen only in old orchards.
In other words. the garden seems
in a fair way to supplant the orchard,
so that large fruits that now cumber
the ground with wide spreading
trees will be grown in little more
space than is required for the cult
walton of tomatoes.
DR.. Thornton now has ready for
market two hundred varieties of
fruit and berries, all dwarfed, in
Guiding pears, apples, gooseberries,
small fruits, pea hes, pluins, cher
ries and in fact everything in the
fruit line.
DR.. Thornton finds that French
stock is most susceptible to dwarfng
and he uses this stock in preference
to the Doucin. At the same age
the dwarfs on French stock show
more fruits spurs than those on
the Doucin, with the exception Of
pears. Here the Doucin stock is
unrivaled.
Fruitgrowers of Vashon Island are
preparing to feed the world with
pears from dwarfs. More than a
hundred thousand dwarf pears, on
Doucin stock, will be planted on
Vashon Island this spring.
Advocates of the dwarfing system
maintain that the yield per acre is
doubled, trebled and quadrupled
through the use of dwarfs over the
yield of the same acreage in stan
dard trees. Sixty-four dwarfs can
be planted in the same ground
necessary to raise one standard tree,
and the dwarfs will begin to bear
the year after grating and are in
full bearing the second year. Yields
are tremendous. This system has
been in practice on the Island of
Jersey, in parts of France and in
England for decades. Here peaches,
pears, plums, cherries and nectarines
are raised at profit in pots. The
tress are dWarfed and trained so as
to have but few branches, all cover
ed with fruit spures and are never
allowed to grow more than three
feet in height"

An interesting story in connection
with the January sale of school lands
has just come to light. A Belling-
ham lady who is interested here, and
a Sunnyside man named Fleming
were both bidding upon tract Of
school land, which the Bellingham
lady had entered upon and improved.
The lady was somewhat wroth over
the competition IN the bidding, and
informed the man that she was
going to have that land if it took
all the money she had. The man
said she would have to go some if
she got it. The bids went up rapid
ly until the lady reached her limit
at $500 when Mr.. + Fleming got the
land at $4,000 It was appraised at
$40 an acre, and worth no more than
that, as it is worth 500 an acre to
clear it. Mr.. Fleming finds that
the land is unsuitable for his pur-
pose and he is unable to unload it at
the price he paid. The lady does
not want it now, and at the price.
and the joke seems to be on Mr..
Fleming. incidentally the state got
about 81, 200 more than was expect
ed for the land.

The Nav of the World.

Tho Way OF the world.
Aloft on bow the fair fruit hung.
caressed by the wind and kissed by the
sun,
And, standing below as it swung out OF
reach,
One longed for taste OF so luscious
peach.
One just as perfect was lying below.
Where the tickle wind tossed 1t hours ago.
Its tint as dainty, its form as round.
But nobody cared. for it lay on the ground.
It is ever the fruit that is just beyond
reach,
Be it fame or honor or love or peach,
Man longs for the most, why we never
will know,
Yet he scorns to pick where the fruit
grows low.

WASHINGTON. =. c., April 10.
Connie Mack. the willy manager of
the champion Athletics. has made an
offer for Walter Johnson, the star
pitcher OF the Washington club. who
has been sent home because he re-
fuses to sign the contract offered him
by MeAleer. While Connie will not
tell the terms OF the proposition he
has made, II is understood here that
he IL willing to give Ben Hauser. the
elongated first basernan. who appears
to be almost as good as Harry Davis
Pitcher Collamore and Outflelder Ho-
gan in exchange for the Washington
pitcher
As was to he expected, the news
that Walter johnson had been sent
home had no sooner been sent
throughout the country than some Of
the other club owners in the Ameri-
can League get busy and started hit
ting the wires for information re-
garding Il trade or sale Of johnson.
One was from Robert Lee Hedges,
the st. Louis owner Mr. Hedges in
formed President Noyes that he was
willing to come on here for con-
ference Tuesday. He thought he could
make a favorable trading proposition
or do business on a cash basis.
President Noyes' reply to Hedges
will leave no doubt In the st. Louis
magnates mind as TO what DISPOSE
ton the local club will make OF John
son. He was informed that there
was absolutely no chance to trade for
or buy johnson, and 1t was eouched
in emphatic words.
Walter johnson VIII remain the
property OF the Washington club so

We will neither trade nor sell him.
