Orchard Heaters Again.

John Moorhead, Granger, WASH,
under date of June 7th, writes as fol-
lows:
sIn your article in the June LIST
number, under the heading, docs
Orchard Heating Pay?" you conclude
that it does not. | think you believe
it, but you have not gone far enough
in your investigation. If you will
look into the matter further you will
find that nearly all the people that
are heating are only equipped to raise
six or eight degrees of temperature,
while this spring in most places where
they were heating, they had from
eight to sixteen degrees to raise.
Now | want to figure with you on
my own experience. have six acre
orchard of five year old Elberta peach
trees, in which had about 800
heaters, and [ was able to raise the
temperature six to eight degrees. Up
to the night of April 18th [ had not
lost any of those peaches, notwith-
standing the fact that we had several

to the 18th about 1000 gallons of oil,
and on the night of the 18th l lost all
my peaches. which. on conservative
estimate, would have been 5000 boxes,
and | believe this year they would
have brought 80 cents per box, or for
easy figuring, will say 30 cents or
$4,000 net. Now firmly believe that
if [ had doubled the amount of heaters
[ could have kept the temperature
above the danger point and would
not have had to use the last half of the
heaters but one night which would
have cost me $125 for extra heaters,
and say $50. 90 for extra oil. So for
$3.50, | could have saved $1,000 worth of
peaches and believe it would have

CEN ENT PIPE LINE
SUCCESSFUL.

We have recently put in a cement
pipe line that is worthy of mention.
Our young peach orchard is on broken
ground. One hollow very nearly
bisects this forty acres. The east half
runs up to the big canal, but in order
to get water out of the other half, we
have been obliged to bring it through
two other ranches by a circuitous
route. This entailed a big loss of
water from evaporation and seepage,
not to mention other sources of loss.
We thought of putting up a wooden
fume to carry this water across the
hollow, but wooden fumes often blow

TOP GRATING.

I had visit the other day from
Rev. a. f. Bourns, who is a retired
Methodist minister, and lives here in
Seattle. He is seventy five years old.
He and his son, F. S. Bourns, a
prominent physician in Seattle, own
a forty acre fruit ranch in the Yakima
valley, not far from Grandview. They
had some top grating done the past
spring on some bearing apple trees.
But the gratis are not growing very
we'll. 1t is not necessary TO repeat
here what | said to father Bourns,
but promise our readers that it moth
ing binders more than l know of now,
I will prepare an article covering all
the necessary points in the work of
top grating and publish it in The
Ranch in time for saving the scions
next winter and the doing of the work
of top grating next spring. With
few very important things attended
to this kind of work can be very sue
cessfully done. We have made a sue
cess of top grating some $500 apple
trees on our fruit ranch. Every fruit
grower can learn how to do this work
and he ought to learn.
The question is often asked if the
limb is not liable to break at the
point of union in top grafting. This
is a natural inference but it is a
mistaken one. AS strange as it may
appear, the limb is actually stronger
at the point of union than anywhere
else. At first the new graft may be
broken off at the point of union and
frequently this happens as the result
of strong wind But after the wound
is completely healed over, the limb
will break anywhere else easier than
at this point. Why? Our plant ply
siologists tell us that the returning
sap carries what they style "bast'
from the leaves to the growing points,
but where there is a wound the cells
of this bast lengthens out and here
we find the longest tibers. Any one
who has carefully watched the healing
of these wounds made in grating
knows that the limb is larger at the
point of union than either above or
below the wound. Nature makes up
for the loss of strength by making the
limb larger and stronger than any
where else. We have in ou1 orchard
at least TO- 600 joints made in graft
ing and l do not now call to mind
that we have had one break at this
point after the healing is completed.

paid me. Now don't you?

"The fact is, orchard heating is only
in the experimental stage. When we
make up our minds to equip ourselves
to handle any old kind of Greece"
| believe we can do it, and l believe
it will pay one year with another as
we'll as it pays to spray or thin our
fruit. Ii we are going TO give up on
account of the cost. we would better
dig out our peaches, cherries and
apricots in the largest part of the
Yakima valley, because if we can't
raise peaches only when every orchard
in the Northwest has crop, we can't
get anything for them. l hope to be
able to 'show you" as | am not done
yet, but am going at it to knock "Jack
Frost down and out. Watch me-
| l like to see a man who has the
courage of his convictions. | have
no disposition to try to present only
one side OF this question about the
| ly willing to be convinced that | am
mistaken about my estimate of the
use of heaters in the orchard. [ do
not doubt but there have been cases
where they have paid. If friend
Moorhead had doubled the mum Der of
his heaters and it had worked out
just as he figures it, it would have
paid him this year, but whether in
the long run he can make it pay him
is matter of doubt with me. He
says that up to the 18th of April he
had not lost any of his peaches.
Neither had we and we had no heaters,
but that night the frost got our
peaches, so we are better off this year
than he is. j. M. Irwin, whom |
quoted in our issue of June 1st, gives
an account of man who had 100
heaters to the acre, which is three
fourths as many as Mr.. Moorbead
would have had with the number of
his heaters doubled, and yet at sun
rise the thermometer dropped eight
degrees in a half hour "and the work
was done.'' Frost has many freaks
and we never know just what may
| happen.
Let me do a little figuring for
friend Moorhead: Suppose he doubled
his heaters and saves his peaches and
suppose his neighbors do the same
and this success is known wherever
peaches are grown and is carried out,
then what becomes of his $4,000 profit
on six acres? by his own showing
nothing can be made. Suppose he
doubles his equipment and next year
we have the same condition we had
last year, then we can not make a
cent. Go ahead, brother Moorhead,
and do the best you can and we will
| give you credit for what ever of sue
cess you may reach. But do not for
get, in the meantime, that figuring
on the future and realizing on that
future when it comes to be the present,
some times stand wide apart. The
old saving is. ''There's many a slip
between the cup and the lip" The
lrishman improved on this old saying
when he said, eyes. but there's mony
a slip after the cup goes to the lip. !"
Ii you succeed in the long run, I'll
take off my hat and say "Bravo..

MarveIs of Motion.

Many trades, sedentary in appear

Of motion. The carpenter who drives

RECALL ADOPTED IN SENATE

Madison.-After a heated discus

attacked after they had assailed the
judiciary of the state, the senate, by

Judiciary providing for constitutions

The resolution as originally intro

fact that the social democrats favored

by their political opponents regarding
what would happen should this pro-
vision be included, that undoubtedly

Open-Alr Schools Increasing.

Since January 1, 1907, siXty-five open
cir schools for children afflicted with
or prediSpOsed to tuberculosis have
been established in twenty-eight cities,
according to an announcement made
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The first open air school in the United
States was established on January /,
1907, by the board of education Of
Providence, r. l., at the instance Of
Dr. Ellen A. Stone. The next school
was established in May of the same
year at Pittsburg, and the third at
Boston in July, 1908. According to
the reports received by the national
association, the result of the open air
cIass-work has been to restore most
of the children to normal health and
efficiency One of these open air
schools or classes should be estab-
lished for each $4,000 population, es-
pecialIy in cities.
