The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1912-10-10

Thorough spraying will do enough good
to pay for doing the work. In apply
ing the spray pressure of at least $50
pounds should be maintained and every
portion of the tree sprayed at close
range so that every crevice in the tree
is filled and every scale is coated with
the spray. A thorough application of
the same strength lime-sulphur must
be made the following spring just as
the buds begin to swell. The work
must be thorough so that every scale is
coated or the results will be poor.
Summer spraying as the young are
crawling is also advisable. An appli-
cation of black leaf 40 and whaleoil
soap will kill the creeping form. This
spraying is important since the creep
ing forms do not have as great oppor-
tunity to crawl upon the feet of birds,
insects, persons working in the or
chard, etc, which are the usual meth
ods of distribution.

14OO BUSHELS SPUDS
GROWN ON ONE ACRE

j. r. Steele, of the Middle Valley,
has produced record yield of potatoes
this year from an acre of ground on
his ranch, that will make some of the
growers of garden truck sit up and
take notice. Last May he planted an
acre of potatoes OF the Early Rose and
Garfield varieties on land that had
been in alfalfa for ten years. He irri-
gated them twice, and when he came
to dig them, found the hills had al
most run together. He used five
gallon oil can to pick them up in, and
found that many single hill filled the
can. Very few of the spuds are less
I than foot long, and some Of them
weigh four pounds each. He secured
picture of Hill that, when laid out,
measured five feet across. In fact, the
potatoes were so thick in the ground
that there was almost continuous dig
| ging from one hill to the other. The
yield was 700 sacks.
Mr.. Steele will pit them this winter,
II he can rent sufficient ground from
his neighbor, as he does not have room
enough on his own place. To verify
the story, G. II. Sproat and c. K. Bone
will go out this week and investigate
it.
Mr.. Steele is so well pleased with
the yield Of potatoes this year that he
viii plant about thirty acres next year.
II the yield is as heavy next year on
the entire field, it will be necessary
to build a railroad up Neal Creek to
haul them out.
In addition to growing record pota-
toes, Mr.. Steele has cabbage that
weigh as much as % pounds, and other
fine garden truck.
The Middle Valley has shown much
improvement the past year. Seven
new ranch houses have gone up or are
being built by the following: A ].
