perience.
have fad for gooseberries, and
have studied the worm problem on
them, which is of course just the same
as currant worms. The worm is of
course the larvae of one of the saw
fly family. The mother fly deposits
her eggs in small colonies, almost, if
not quite always, on the under side
of the small leaves attached to the
body, or lower limbs near the body.
This is, judge, for two purposes
These leaves are somewhat thicker
and flrmer, and the whole tree is di.
rectly accessible from the base of
their stems.
When the worm is first Matched, he
is very small but begins operations
at once. He don't even crawl to the
edge of the leaf, but gnaws hole for
himself, just where he is.
If not disturbed, the little colony
will eat out the web of the leaf. This
gives them size and strength to emf
CRATE to the other leaves, which they
attack on the edge.
The remedy: These leaves are al
ways full size grown before the fruit
berries start to form. L apply poison
ed Bordeaux mixture, ian ounce of
Paris green to fifteen gallons of Dor
deaux) sprayed on the upper side of
the leaves pretty thoroughly, just as
the berries begin to form. If it gets
we'll dried before it rains it will stay
all the season. The newly Matched
worm never fails to gnaw through and
get bite, and never lives to go any
farther. Thus one spraying does the
business, and does not endanger the
wholesomeness of the fruit.
| grow my own gooseberry trees
from cuttings of fruit bearing bran
ches, never from sprouts, and L get
great crops. I also take special care
to keep the bushes growing thriftily
all the later part of the summer.
This is essential with all bush fruits. :"

FIR TREES IN AN ORCHARD.

j. w. Hamilton, st. Paul, Mimi,
trees at White Salmon, Wash, where
he has an orchard. Some of his in
quiries have been answered privately,
but one of hts inquiries has not. He
says:
81 have in this section of my or
chard, or 10 fir trees, | am told by
a very enthusiastic orchardist in the
valley that fir roots extend as far
horizontally from the tree as its
height, and that he believes these FIR
trees are detrimental to the orchard,
urging that cut them down. l would
like to know from The Ranch readers
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-08-01

IL Dir trees are detrimental to fruit
trees"
If the roots on fir trees extend hori-
zontally as far as the trees are high,
this is an exception to the general
rule. The rule usually laid down by
horticuItrists is that the roots extend
as far literally as the limbs of the
trees extend. | know in many cases
this rule is verified. There may be
exceptions but am in serious doubt
il even the roots OF 6r trees extend
horizontally distance equal to the
height of the trees. / have seen fir
trees 300 feet high. This is very rare
but 200 feet high is not uncommon.
1t would be very strange if the roots
of such trees extended over an area
of ground from 400 to 600 feet in
diameter. But regardless OF the truth
of this view of the matter, would
say that I would not allow very large
trees of any kind to grow in my or
chard nor very near the outside of it.
Much shade is very Objectionable,
but the chief objection is not the
shade but the fact that the feeding
roots of the big trees will get the
lions share of the nutriment available
in the SOIL l would most certainly
recommend the cutting down of these
fir trees. Whether fir trees are any
more detrimental to fruit trees than
other variety of trees l do not know.
Ii any of our readers. can throw any
additional light on this matter we
shall be glad to hear from them.

SHORT APPLE CROP.


The "bears" in the apple trade
are trying to work an old fraud on
the public relative to the prospective
apple crop. Reports are sent to the
great dailies, which they gladly pub
lish, to the effect that ''all signs
point to all enormous apple CROP"
This is false statement. | receive
exchanges from all points of the
United States and could copy pages
showing that the apple crop will not
be normal much less enormous. l
have the Fruit Trade Journal of New
York of July 9Th and l will quote
just a few headings. On page is
the statement that the secretary of
the New York Fruit Growers Associa-
ton estimates the percentages for the
entire state are: "Fall apples SO per
cent and winter apples 81 per cent"
of normal crop. On page IL we
read. "Virginia Apple crop. Fruit
has dropped heavily. Horticultural
Society's Secretary estimates coming
yield at 80 to 30 per cent" On page
Is we read: ''The State of Missouri
estimate on fruit is 81 per cent of
normal"
Page IA we read about Canada s
apple crop: winter apples general
ly will not be more than medium, and
taking into consideration the pos
sibilities of adverse conditions, light
crop may be expected" On this
same page referring to British
Columbia, the statement is made:
"But the aggregate of apples to be
shipped will not be equal to that OF
last season." On the same page is a
report from Kansas that the yield for
this year will be one-half of last year,
crop, il the drought does not continue
too long,"
In the Fruit Grower for July are to
be found reports on the apple crop
from most Of the States in the union.
might quote pages from these reports
and the man who can see even a nor
NAL crop from these reports can see
more than I can. I will make a few
quotations to show the general trend:
Virginia: "Apples 80 to 35 per cent
of full crop, or about one-third 70
last years. CROP" Nebraska: cap
pies set very light. Oklahoma:
"Have few apples.'' Alto. Mich
igan: "The late crop Of apples is
very poor Bentonville, Arkansas :
"Apples 0 per cent of full crop"
Now l could make many such quota
tions like these. How can anyone
truthfully that the apple crop will
be enormously large? The fact is it
will not be normal. 1t will not be a
failure but it will be short and any
one reporting the contrary is either
ignorant or is practicing to deceive. !"
The buyers will change their tune
when they have bought the crop.

TOO MUCH IRRIGATION.

[ met an old friend in Tacoma this
week who wanted my advice about
frequent watering of orchards by
irrigation. He said that his son who
has an orchard in the Yakima valley
set the past spring, wants information
on this point. This son is afraid to
be away from his orchard even for a
few days for fear his trees will suffer
for lack of water. | think he said
that his son irrigates his newly set
trees daily. know that he impressed
me with the idea that his son was
irrigating his trees too much.
Water is an indispensable thing in the
growth of trees of any kind, but in
this case, as in many others, you can
have ''too much of good thing"
There are plants that are designated
aquatic" that is, they grow in
water. Kelp and various kinds of
sea weeds belong to this class. But
most kinds of trees and vegetables
will die if continually, standing in
water. Contrary to a very common
conception, a plant in order to grow
we'll must have air in the soil as we'll
as water. Percival in his great work
entitled agricultural Botany" says
on page 1876 that the conditions neces-
sary to the healthy growth of plant
are: l. A certain degree of warmth
of the surrounding soil; 2. Access of
fresh air; 3. A suitable supply of
water" Again on the same page
Percival says: ''In consequence of
the presence of considerable amount
OF water which requires much heat to
warm it, the temperature of imperfect
ly drained soils is usually lower than
that at which the roots of ordinary
farm and garden plants do their best
work Moreover, such soils do not
allow of the free circulation Of fresh
air within them. Over watered plants
commonly exhibit injuries of this
character"
From these quotations we learn that
too much water makes the soil too
cool, excludes the fresh air and works
injury to the growing plants. Many
people irrigate too much. Give your
soil good. wettingE and then keep
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-08-01

the water Oft and pulverize the sur
face by cultivation and you get the
best results. A good irrigating once a
month is enough for the healthful
growth of your trees.

One of the most attractive calendars
coming to this Office was received last
week from Hearts Delight Farm at
Chazy, New York. The farm is owned
by W. FL. Minor and from the calendar
it would seem that there is no branch
Of agriculture that Mr.. Minor is not
interested in. The fine dairy herd of
Holstein COWS seems to head the list,
but Shorthorns. Percheron and
Belgian horses, Lincoln sheep, York
shire and Chester white swine occupy
large place in the affairs of the farm
list. Twenty thousand bushel of corn
and an equal amount of small grains,
together with large number of poul-
try of all description are raised for
the fancy market or big cities tribu-
tary to East York State. The calendar
is put up in many colors, and as stated
is the neatest thing of this kind COM

SALARY BILL.
Pay Of Clerk of Supreme Court De-
fined in Senate Measure.

A bill introduced Wednesday by
Senator Franklin fixes the salary OF
the clerk of the supreme court and
criminal court of appeals at $4,000 a
year 1t allows him an assistant at
$4,000, journal clerk at $1,000, fling
clerk at $1,000 and two stenographers
at $1,000 and 5000 respectively. 1t
also fixes the schedule of fees to be
charged.
The introduction of the bill follow
ed the receipt by the senate of a re-
port from w. II. L. Campbell, present
clerk of the supreme court, in re-
sponse to two different resolutions
adopted by the senate, which did not
seem to be altogether satisfactory to
that body. Campbell stated that on
account of the confusion incident to
moving his office from Guthrie, he
was unable to make a statement OF
the receipts and expenditures of his
office. This was declared by some
members of the senate to be an insult
to the senate, and it was strongly
suggested that Campbell was trying
to cover up the amount of fees he
had received and was trying to pre-
vent the senate from finding 1t out.

over without action-Oklahoma
