FANCY FRUIT.

One of the papers coming to my
office | greatly prize is The Fruit
Journal of New York. This paper
not only gives reports of the markets
in New York but in all the large cities
as we'll. In scanning these market
reports, one thing is always noticeable
and that is that fancy apples are
always in demand and sells at the top
of the market SO tar as price is con-
cerned. This fact ought to teach US
a very valuable lesson, VIZ, that we
should bend our energies to raise all
the fancy apples we possibly can.
We must learn what steps we must
take in order to have all the apples
of this grade we can. Fancy apples
do not necessarily have to be the
biggest ones. Many big apples can
never be put into that ssclass. THE

DISEASED SEED POTATOES.

With the rapid increase in the pro-
duction of potatoes in the State of
Washington many of the diseases
which growers formerly believed
would not affect potatoes in this state
are making their appearance. The
Department of plant pathology of the
Experiment Station at Pullman is
making a thorough study OF these
diseases as they appear and presents
the following note of caution with
reference to two which are now be-
coming very prevalent.
Dry Rot-Care should be taken
that seed potatoes are entirely free
from dry rot. The fungus which
causes this blackening and rotting of
the potatoes is too we'll protected
within the tissues to be killed by any
treatment which does not also kill
the potatoes. Diseased potatoes
should not be fed to stock or dumped
on the land unless they have been
thoroughly cooked to kill the fungus.
1t is necessary to put infected land
in other crops for several years. Last
summer and fall the Station received
a large number of letters from growers
who had lost large fields of potatoes
because the land had become infected
the previous year. Potatoes to be
used for seed should be examined by
cutting slice of the stem end of a
number. If black ring shows in

spring | open all the closets, drawers
and boxes in a room; unfold any
WOODEN articles which may have been
folded. Then l place a small tin pie
plate on a brick in the middle of the
floor and put on it a sulphur candle
which can be bought for five cents at
the druggists. After closing tight
the windows and stopping the key
hole | light the sulphur and leave the
room. By the end of "a hours you

have also used in somewhat the same
way carbon bisulphide. Then in the
spring when l put away the wooden
clothes each suit goes into la moth
proof calico bag and hangs in the
garrett or store-room; and each wooden
article is folded in an old sheet or
bit of old muslin. In this way l am
very rarely troubled with moth eaten
garments and am free from the awful
odor of moth balls which do no good
anyway. Kerosene or gasoline put
along the crack of the floor at the
mopboard with a machine oil can will

color will probably be the one factor
that will outweigh all others. Can
we do anything to increase the color
of our applesP We certainly can.
The more sunshine an apple gets,
other things being equal, the higher
will be it's color. Then we must open
the heads of our trees by such pruning
as will let in the sunlight. When we
pack our apples, we must sort out
the pale ones and pack them in a
class to themselves. We have often
done this. Another thing to maintain
this grade is avoid mixing different
sizes. Uniformity in size greatly
helps the looks of apples. Then the
fruit should be packed evenly and
tightly in the box and a bulge given
to both the top and bottom. All
fancy apples now are wrapped. In
fact on our ranch we wrap all our
apples that are sold in boxes and that
means all but the culls. Everything
about the box should be neat and
clean. Deliver me from dirty box
or dirty apples. Then let the name
and post Office of the grower be
sta mped on the box with a rubber
stamp. Also stamp the grade and
the number of apples in the box, and
the name of the variety. There will
always be some apples that can not
be classed as fancy or extra fancy but
such apples should never be sent to
the Eastern markets. 1t these lower
grade apples are mixed in with the
higher grades, the whole lot will
bring less money than the fancy ones
will bring by themselves. Don't try
to fool any body by putting low grade
apple with the best for you can not
do it, or at best but once than the
buyers will shun your brand next
year. Keep your credit good with
the buyers for best results.

any of those examined it is quite
likely to be infected with dry rot.
If dry rot is suspected it is better to
get new seed. Samples of suspected
seed may be sent to the Experiment
Station at Pullman for examination,
no charge being made for such an
examination.
Scab--Even when seed potatoes ap-
pear perfectly free from disease it is
best to soak the cut seed for two
hours in a solution of formaldehyde

gallons of water) before planting.
This will kill scab and any fungus
spores on the surface. Do not plant
in soil which grew scabby potatoes
the preceding year. Clean seed on
clean soil is the rule for potato grow

Pruning and thinning will be the
chief factors in the work. But we
may do all we can to even up our
crops and still we will to some extent
have heavy crops and light ones.
Any thing that this engineer, or any
