County Experiment Farms

Two plans for county experiment
farms are before the Nebraska legis-
lature. One of these provides for
independent county experiment
farms of not less than 10 acres or
more than 40 acres upon which a
scientific agriculturist may be hired
as manager. State aid to the extent
OF $500 is granted each county es-
tabllshing such experimental farms.
Ihe scientific argiculturist is given
full charge of the county farm and
its management without any pro-
vision from the state experiment
station or correlation in any other
county station.
The other bill is in the nature Of
agricultural extension work and
would require each county to supply

The Maine fisheries

The Trade Register notes that
the preservation Of the Maine fish
cries is a matter which is receiving
some attention. 1t is fact that in
recent years the herring, which was
a source of wealth to Maine, have
deserted their former habitat and
gone elsewhere. The opinion is
that the fish have been run to death
while in spawn and frightened away
by too persistent and over Jealous
seining. Some years ago Professor
Agassiz wrote that by taking the
spawning fish there would be a
repetition in Maine Of the history
Of the herring in Holland, where
they totally disappeared for this
reason. He believed that fish had
method of communicating with
each other, even from generation
to generation. and this would ac-
count for the fish Of certain species
which were eagerly pursued forsak-
ing those habitats for many years.

Steamer {. |. Dwyer
Sinks in Seattle

The gasoline freight steamer E.
L. Dwyer owned, by Capt. C. R.
Mace, of Seattle, and John X. Nc
Kenzie, of this place, sunk while
tied up at the City dock, Seattle,
at about twelve o'clock last Sunday
night. She had just finished taking
on a miscellaneous cargo, about
forty tons, and was nearly ready to
leave on her run to Everett, when
the. swell from one of the big ocean
steamers that had just come in
knocked her against the dock with
such force that it opened up une of
the seams in her hull causing her
to leak so badly that it was impossi-
for her pumps to keep the water
out and she went to the bottom.
The boat has been raised by King
& Wing, of Seattle, and taken to
West Seattle for repairs. Nearly
all Of the cargo has been recovered
and is not considered very badly
damaged. The damage to the boat
lis fully covered by insurance and
the cargo was partially insured.
The amount Of insurance on the
cargo is not known here and no es-
innate of the loss on this, if any. can
be made at this time by Mr.. Nc
Kenzie. The Islander hopes that
the loss not will be heavy and that
the boats owners will not suffer
seriously by reason Of the unfortun-
ate mishap. In raising the boat the
house was pulled off but the wreck
ing company will have to stand this
loss. s,.,ssS@

For a National Highway

The proposal to construct ma
tional automobile highway across
the continent, of which there has
been discussion in many papers dur
ing the past few months, has been
recently embodied in a bill and laid
before Congress. This highway is
to go "along or near the thirty-fifth
parallel of north latitude" a right
Of way one mile wide being secured
at private sale or by condemnation
proceedings. The highway proper
is to be 1,43O fee wide, this width
beng divided as follows, as outlined
in the New York Evening Post:
1.-TWO macadam surfaced roads,
each wherever practical parallel;
two macadam surfaced roads, each
twenty feet wide each road to have
two steel tracks for electric cars,
two tracks to be twenty feet wide,
each road to have steel-plate track
for fast automobiles; two macadam
roads, each twenty feet wide, each
road to have two cement ways for
automobiles going twenty-five miles
or less an hour: two macadam roads
each twenty feet wide, each road
to have eight cement paths for BIZ
cycles, motor cycles. tricycles, and
other cycles; one cement way. ten
feet wide for use Of roller skates;
two zones, each thirty feet wide
for water, sewer and oil pipes cleo.

lIlle Importance Of Cooperation
In the Marketing of Fruit

Mr.. F. Walden, editor of the horti-
cultural department of "The Ranch .
as well as one of the most successful
frultgrowers Of the state, is strong
advocate of the organization of
frultgrowers' unions in every fruit
growing district. His ideas upon
the important question of marketing
the fruit crop seem to be almost
identical with those of Mr.. Van SAINT,
OF Olga, as given in the Islander
two weeks ago, and whose appeal
to the growers Of this county to or
ganize ought to be needed. In a
recent issue of the Ranch Mr.. Wal
din says: tThe disposing of the
apple crop in the Northwest is a
large problem and demands careful
study. Abuses are likely to creep
IN and serious losses are liable to be
sustained by the growers. There
are many methods in vogue as to how
the grower may dispose of his crop.
One is to sell to the buyer f. o. b.
at the shipping point. When the
grower is ready to ship his fruit and
no buyer is at hand then some other
method must be brought into play,
for the fruit cannot be piled up and
kept in the packinghouse indefinitely.
Another method is to consign to
commission men in the large centers
of trade but this will not always
work. M
The commission man does not
want fruit out of season. Fail
apples must be sold in the fall but
winter apples at that time are out
of season and must wait for the
winter. The commission man does
not want his house filled up with
apples that must be held in some
cases for months before their season
arrives.
Another method somewhat in
vogue is for some. man to make his
appearance in community and say
that he represents a house in Chicago
New York or some other eastern
city and that he will make a pay
ment on apples and send them to
be sold on commission. The grower
is promised that the apples will ne1
above the amount advanced. This
method is vicious for it opens the
way for scamps of every type tt
work their schemes. Such way
might be all right, but the grower
has no means of knowing until il
may be too late.
After giving the story Of rank
swindle perpetrated on the last
mentioned plan, Mr.. Walden says
"Just here is where / want te
make what / consider a valuable

Death Of Harry Brookshaw

Henry George Brookshaw. well
known to nearly all the old timers
on San Juan islands. died last
evening of intestinal toxaemia at
the Maple house, where he was
brought last Monday for closer med
ical attention than could be given
him at his home on the west side Of
the island. He had been too i'll to
work for about three weeks. Mr..
Brookshaw was born in Hereford
shire, England, May 8, 1870. He
came to this country and to this
state and county twenty-five years
ago. On of July 2, 1898 he was
married to Miss Salina Wills,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Wills.
Her father died a few weeks ago.
The funeral will be held Saturday
afternoon and will be in charge OF
Mt. Dallas Lodge of Odd Fellows.
Of which order Mr.. Brookshaw was

Robert Aud Will
Breed Ayrshires
W;llownooor Farms,

WlllOWmOOr Farms,
Redmond, Wash. Feb. 28, l9ll
Editor Islander:
A progressive dairyman o.
your county, Mr.. Robert AUD Q,
East Sound, after giving the sup]ec,
of the choice of breeds great deal
of thought and study, concluded
that the Ayrshire cattle are tne
most desirable dairy breed for ms
island farm. Mr.. Auld reached MS
decision through a study of the IN
divinduals in the Willowmoor hero'
of the records of the herd and the
records of the breed.
The Ayrshires are the youngest OF
the dairy breeds. but are rapidly
forging to the front. They, | pc
leive, will rank with the Holsteins
as the two breeds especially adapted
to western Washington, which sec
ton has the greatest dairy future
before it Of any in the United States.
The AyrsIlires are not as well known
as the other breeds on the coast.
However, before the close Of another
year, they will be much better
known.
An Ayrshire COW, owned on the
coast, will soon close her years work
with larger record of both milk
and butter than any cow of any
breed, living or dead. owned on the
coast. An Ayrshire cow won the
dairy test at the Western Washing
ton Fair this fall. The same COW.
one of our herd, was awarded, at
the State Fair at North Yakima, the
championship as the most perfect
dairy COW of any breed ON exhibition
at the fair. One of the two judges,
a man from a central western dairy
state, pronounced her the most per-
feet specimen of the dairy cow he
had ever seen. The Ayrshires also
returned the greatest net profit at
the model dairy barn at the A. Y.P.
and nearly double that of any other
breed.
Mr.. Auld has ordered us to send
him one Of our young bulls, a pure
bred, recorded Ayrshire. He will
be pleased to have any of his friends
and neighbors at his home near East
Sound inspect this young sire,
which is fair representative of our
herd.
Very truly yours,
A. Stone, Manager,

suggestion to these good people.
Get together and organize yourselves
into a fruit growers union. Don't
let some fellow whom you do not
know come in and do the organizing,
with him as the one to hold the bag.
Do this yourselves. Select good
man with a business capacity from
among your number as your business
agent to look after your interests.
If some one comes along saying he
represents a house in some city, as
Chicago, for illustration, and wants
to- handle your fruit, accept his offer
on condition that you send your own
agent to Chicago and bill your fruit
to him and let him turn it over to
the firm whose man has asked for
it, provided your agent finds the
firm reliable. If the agent Of this
reputed firm refuses to make that
kind Of an arrangement, then turn
him down with a thump. An honest
man who represents reliable house
would not object to such an arrang-
rment and a dishonest one is best to
get rid of as quickly as possible.
Send your own agent on to Chicago
or any other place where your fruit
will be in demand and he can soon
make an arrangement that will get
rid of your fruit without the loss
you have sustained. Have someone
you can depend upon to look after
YOUR business and never trust an
unknown man.
THE fruit growers must organize
and if the regular buyers will not
deal fairly with them, they must
eliminate the buyers and through
their representatives, sell their own
fruit. Too many middlemen are
"a menace to the fruit growers.
When the grower gets not more than
one third of each dollar paid by the
consumer there too much waste in
handling the crop. Middlemen are
necessity but when the business
is so arranged that they who 'buy
and sell and get gain" take two
thirds Of what the consumer pays
there. is something wrong. We
must shorten the road between the
grower and the consumer and there
is but one way to do that and that
is to cut out some of the men who
simply handle our products.
Without some such arrangement
there will be poverty at each end
and riches in the middle. The
growers will suffer and the men be-
tween will pile up fortunes. The
consumers cannot help themselves
but the growers can and they can
help the consumers.

Scientific Pruning Vital
s-i @
in Fruit Growing

BE- Scientific pruning is one Of the
most vital factors in fruit growing
in that it permits Of the free circu
lation Of light and air through the
branches of trees. thus making poss-
ible the production of uniform fruit
of color, size and lusciousness.
The training of the tree to pro-
duce the best quality of fruit is the
factor now dominant among friu
growers. Many who have not de-
voted time to study the methods of
the tree entertain the idea that more
fruit is produced by making the
tree healthier through this oper-
alton. This statement. obvious to a
careful student Of horticulture, is
erroneous. 1t is consistent to say
that tree grows as nature intend
ed it should, and it is an encroach-
ment to alter its growth in narrow
ing it into channel unproposed by
nature. as
The prime object of pruning is to
allow circulation of light and air
through the branches. 1t should
not be merely a custom. Just be-
cause one man who has had SUGGEST
in pruning and raising good fruit
prunes at a certain time should not
mean that another can do likewise.
Pruning is phase of fruit growing
in which reason and precision must
be exercised. The apple tree must
not be an object of butchering be-
cause it happens that it branches.
In the first pruning grower should
exercise the greatest care. The
head and the members Of shoots
with which to start the career Of the
tree are factors requiring study
and attention.
Sunlight should reach every twig.
The sap should flow to every leaf
proportionately. Ihisis what assists
in the larger production Of lus-
cious fruit with quality that will
find ready market.
+ With a tree that has many BRAN
ches close together it will be obser
we'd that the fruit may be large, but
is lacking in both essentials, color
and lusciousness. In this case the
superfuous limbs should be cut away
in such manner as to allow sum
light to pass down the tree and
spread impartially through it.
Careful study of local conditions
has disclosed the fact that every
grower must not do as his nefghbor
has done in recent years or what ne
intends to do; but he must under
stand that it is essential to devote
his attentions to the many peculiar
tiles existing in his own orchard.
Each variety of fruit as well as the
peculiarities of the variety can be
or should be pruned alike.
