IDAHO FRUIT
WILL Be FAMOUS
Timely Suggestions on Spraying, Pack
ing and Shipping Of Fruit to
Eastern Markets.
BEST FRUIT GROWING SECTIONS
Give Careful Attention to Pruning and
Spraying in the Spring.

John u. MCPHERSON, state hor'i-
cultural inspector, has the follow
ing to say concerning horticulture
conditions in Idaho.
"The great problem before our or
chardists today is markets, and
now the growers have reached the
point where they must establish a.
standard pack and grade. This
does not mean that certain sections
will establish such grades and
packs, but every fruit growing sec
ton must establish standard
grade and pack. The time is now
here, when Idaho as a fruit growing
state. should standardize the out
nut of her fruit. Too much fruit
is pow being shipped to the eastern
markets that is not OF good size
and color, and some is especially
poor in pack, and we must, as a
fruit growing state, establish a
standard and work to that end
While it is true that the states east
of the Rocky Mountains cannot,
and never will. produce first grade
of fruit equal to the fruit raised in
the western states, at the same
time their first grade is equal to
our second. This means that we
must raise more, and better first
grade fruit, in order that we make
profits on fruits produced in Idaho
This is the condition that we now
have to deal with, with 12O,OOC
acres of.orchard in Idaho, and thou
sands of acres being planted each
year. The fruit growers must al
once come together and standard
ize the output of fruit. However this
is not the only condition that WI
should try to better, for better
spraying should be done, the or
ehards should be more thoroughly
and carefully pruned, and prope
thinning practiced at the RICH
time.
I'VE have. in our state, some o
the best fruit growing sections il
the Northwest. Our fruit grower
must strive at all times to give tn
orchards the best OF care, and Il
raise we'll developed, high colore'
fruit which is free from insect pest
and this oan only be done b
thorough and practical care of tn
orchards at the proper time.
The varieties to be be plante'
in any section should be well con
sidered before planting is done
Too many vArieries are now raise
that have no commercial value
that is, they are not good shippers
and do not sell we'll on easter
markets. Such fruit is more of
drawback to the horticultural in
dustry of the state than benefit.
"There are important factors ths
go to make up successful fru
growing: the selection of vel
drained deep. rich soilI the plan
ing Of good, well-developed nurser
stock, which is free from disease
careful and proper pruning durir
the early growth of the treeI Il
care of the orchard during its ear
growth and development, whiC
will govern to a great extent ju
what the orchard will be when
comes into bearing.
"By the use of the most impro
ed methods in orcharding, aud {
establishment of standard gra
and pack, Idaho, in few yea
will be second to none in the qui
ity and quantity produced"

SOME FORMULAS
FOR SPRAYING
Ho A. T, !. Jones Gives Some Timely
SugsNhons for Proper Care
of Orchards.
FRUIT PESTS EASILY DESTROYED
Il the Solution Mentioned Herewith is
Carefully Applied

nc AOllOWAhe b~fN
before the Kootenai Valley Horti
cultural Association, by Rep. l. J.
Jones. 1t contains many valuable
and timely suggestions
OYSTER SHELL BARK scALE
Perhaps the most prevalent pest
affecting the apple and pear tree in
the Kootenai Valley is the oyster
shell bark scale. 1t is minute
parasite scale, and as its name indi-
Gates, is the shape of an oyster
she'll 1t is not, however, SO diff
cult to combat as the San, Jose
scale, but requires the same kind
of treatment. The scale covers
minute eggs which hatch out from
the first to the tenth of June, at
which time the young insects, in
visible to the naked eye, crawl ont
toward the new growth and insert
their bills in the bark and proceed
to feed and grow upon the juice or
sap of the tree. They are then
white in color and may be seen
with the aid of a good magniiying
glass, but not to the naked eve.
They grow rapidly and form an
other scale. covering eggs as befofe'
increase very fast if not checked
and will soon completely cover the
bark and fruit, and eventually kill
the tree.
If a~newly planted orchard is
sprayed once each year, during the
dormant season, with the lime and
sulphur spray, of winter strength,
| do not think the oyster shell
scale would ever get start upon
it. But if an orchard has become
infected to any great extent, it will
require careful and, persistent
spraying for about four years to
completely eradicate them. NY
orchard was badly infected before
l knew what the scale was, and
have practically cleaned them up
by spraying before the buds open
in the late winter or early spring,
with the lime and sulphur at win
ter strength, for four successive
years, But experiments have pro-
ven that one or two sprayinRs about
; the tenth of June, with lime and
, sulphur at summer strength, OF
even with whale oil soap and
chips, will hasten the operation oil
killing them off. The ready mixed
commercial lime and sulphur solu.
: tons are all about 100 specific
gravity and should be diluted as
follows:
: FOR WINTER SPRAYING
} Use one gallon of the solution tc
10 gallons of water, adding after il
: is diluted, enc pound of Stacked
) lime for each gallon of the coneen
trated solution used. Stake th'
lime we'll and make the lime milk
then strain into barrel or tsnl
i that you use for holding the diluted
spray.
This can be applied without in
jury to trees at any time befor
the leaf or bloom buds begin T.
open.

Many of US have the sense of a personal
loss in parting from valued friend.
Many of our citizens will have as their
last recollection of Mr.. Appleman his
appearance at Moose Hall the evening
before the election of last Novem-
ber. Arising to answer attacks that
had been made on his legislative career,
he brought to his hearers a greater
sense of the strength and ability of the
man who was addressing them, and
won an ovation unparalleled in the his
tory of the community. No one who
heard him that evening could have
questioned the honesty and sincerity of
all his public acts.
Mr.. Appleman was a member of the
Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias
and Loyal Order of Moose.

Business Building Sold

A deal was closed in Spokane last
Saturday, whereby c. F. Craig becomes
the owner of the Vawter, building, To-
Gated nearly opposite The MINER build
ing. Mr.. Craig turned in piece of
timber land located west of Yocum and
other property. The building is mod
ern one of concrete construction, and
was erected by Geo. A. Vawter, to &C.
commodate the business of the Farmers
Cooperative store, which failed
some time ago. Mr.. Vawter traded it
to Mr.. Janosky, of Spokane.
The building will be improved by the
new owner, and should soon be tenanted,
as it is nicely located for nearly any
line of business. At present the second
floor is used as lodge rooms by most of
the local lodges.

Good Roads Association

The Inland Empire Good Roads Asso-
citation was organized in Spokane this
week by representatives from most of
the 20 counties of Eastern Washington.
The association is to work along the
lines of policy established by the Wash
ington State Good Roads Association at
it's recent convention. According to
this plan, it is left to the mountain
counties to decide whether the money
provided for their district shall be ex-
pended toward connection with the
west side of the mountains or for utility
highways.
At the meeting it was determined to
recommend the legislature to distribute
the 100000 apportioned to Eastern
Washington to be used on various roads,
but the Newport district has been neg
lected. Fred L. Wolf was selected as
representative from Pend Oreille county
and will make an effort to secure a
portion of the funds for work in this
district. The proposed highway from
Spokane to Glacier Park through this
place should be one of the roads to re-
ceive benefits.
A meeting of the trustees will be
held early in 1913 at Spokane, when the
details of the plan will be worked out.

leaves to mourn his death his aged
father and mother, residing at Viroqua,
Wis.,. two brothers and six sisters.
In political life Mr.. Appleman has
been prominent since his arrival in this
section, as Republican of the Progress
sive type. In the general election of
1910 he was elected to represent Stew
ems county in the state legislature, and
last fall he was elected again, this time
to represent the new county OF PEND
Oreille, to whose birth he gave so much
of his time and labor.
AS legislator Mr.. Appleman early
in the session earned the high regard OF
his associates. He was ever faithful IN
his attendance on all sessions and the
important committee work to which ne
was assigned. To all matters that came
before the legislature he gave as care
full and conscientious attention as the
time would permit. His principal work
during the session was in connection
with the measure introduced by him for
the division of Stevens county and the
creation of Pend Oreille. To this task
he bent every energy, and, although
there were many difficulties to sur
mount, he was able to bring about its
passage, it being the only county dlvls-
ion bill that passed of five that were
introduced. His name is thus connec-
ted with the history of our county in
way that will not be forgotten.
An incident in connection with the
passage of the division bill illustrates
the character of the man. When he
was reminded on the floor of the house,
during consideration of the measure,
that it would legislate him out of office,
he replied: 81 don't care if | never
hold office again. Our people are en-
titled to this new county and must
have it.
AS citizen of Newport, Mr.. Apple
man has always been identified with
every movement that was directed
toward the development and upbuilding
the town and country. AS president of
the Commercial Club he devoted much
time to the work, and was at all times
ready to respond to the call for volun-
teers to work for the good of the COM
munitv.
Always honorable in political and
business life, aggressive in working for
what he thought was right, above re-
proach as citizen in public and pri-
vate life, Newport mourns, and the
usual joy of the holiday season has been
saddened by his demise. The flag flying

DEATH OF REPRESENTATIVE
Hon. S. J. Appleman Fails to Recover From Surgical
Operation and Long Illness.
Funeral Services To Be Held Friday Afternoon at 13O

At St. Luke's Hospital, Spokane,
Tuesday morning occurred the death of
Hon. S. J. Appleman, of Newport,
representative-elect from Pend Oreille
county. Although it was quite gener-
ally known that Mr.. Appleman han been
in a critical condition for several days,
his passing came as great shock to
the community and his friends in all
parts of the state.
For several years past Mr.. Appleman
has not been in the best of health, be-
ing subject to frequent attacks of alb
dominal troubles. During the campaign
for reelection last fall he was again
attacked, but did not give up until
few days after election. Since that
time he has been confined to his home,
with the exception of but a few days.
On Dec. II consultation of physicians
was held, and it was deemed advisable
to take him to Spokane for an opera
ton, in the hope of prolonging his life.
The operation was performed on We'd
nesday, Dec. 18, and it seemed for a
time as if he would be restored to
health, but on Monday afternoon he
began to fail rapidly and the end came
early the next morning. The body was
brought to his home in this city We'd
nesday evening.
Funeral services have been arranged
to take place at the Congregational
church Friday afternoon at 80 clock.
The various fraternal orders of which
Mr.. Appleman was a member will at
tend the services. and the body will be
consigned to the grave in accordance
with the rites of the Odd Fellows.
S. J. Appleman was born at Viroqua,
Wis, Nov. 16, 1877, and was but little
over 35 years old. After receiving a
common school education he for several
years followed the profession of teach
ing. Abandoning that profession he

RURAL ROUTE ESTABLISHED
Country West and North of Town
Will Have Daily Mail.
10 Be Started on March 1st.

Rural Route No. will be established
out of Newport on March l. The terri
tory to be supplied is located west and
northwest of Newport, and the length
OF the route is 22.5 miles. 1t will sup
ply territory well populated and one
that is being rapidly settled up.
The work of securing this benefit is
due largely to Messrs. R. D. Anderson,
John Workman and Postmaster Johan-
sen. The first two named gentlemen
began agitating the question over
year ago, and last spring circulated Pc
titions throughout the district at con-
siderable inconvenience to themselves,
and, with the aid of the postmaster,
remained busy until the department al
lowed the establishment of the route.
This is the first rural route to be
established in Pend Oreille county, but
others are being agitated with pros
poets of success. One of these is to
serve the patrons residing east and
south of Newport as far as Tweedie.
Examination by the civil service COM
mission for the positions of carrier and
substitute will have to be held at an
early date. The examinations will
probably be held in Newport.
Parties residing on the route to be
supplied must have letter boxes estab-
lished, else the carrier will not deliver
his mail. There are many different
styles Of boxes manufactured, nearly
all of which have been approved by the
department. It will also be necessary
for his patron of the route, to insure
prompt delivery of his mail, to have his
mail properly addressed to his route
number. 3
The salary of the carrier who must
supply his own conveyance, is $1056 per
annum. There will doubtless be num-
Der of candidates for the position,
which is generally considered an easy
job in most localities.
The service will be daily except Sun
day, and the mail will leave Newport at
1890 a. m, after the arrival of the
through mails from the west and the
night mails from the east, thus insuring
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-12-26

the patron about the same service as q
resident of the town. The carrier is
expected to make his trip and return to
the Newport Office before o'clock p.
m. AS a general rule carriers are able
to shorten the schedule made by the
and arrive at their destina-
tion earlier. Should this be the case on
the new route, it would be possible for
the country mail to reach Newport in
time to be dispatched to Spokane and
western points on the same afternoon.

Ferry Out OF Commission

The ferry over the Pend Oreille has
been out Of commission during the
present week. The boat became water
logged from leaking at the bows at
ends. The trouble was caused by the
frequent striking Of the boat against
the dock, which Jared the calking
loose. 1t has been hauled up stream
and is being repaired, but it is probable
that it will not be in commission until
about the first of the year. Just at
this season the stoppage Of the ferry
means great disadvantage to many
many persons residing across the river.
There is large quantity Of supplies for
several of the camps awaiting delivery,
and some of this must be hauled to
Priest River to be taken across the river,
making an additional haul of about Is
miles.
