NEWS NOTES OF THE WEEK OF
INTEREST TO DfETRiCHITES


b. W. COiner Of Tacoma. he calls
attention to the possibilities Of
the Dietrich tract for fruit, and
the necessity for cooperation and
of each settler setting at least a
small acreage this year if possible.
He says: The Dietrich tract, By
reason of its topography, Is the
most desirable large tract Of land
chat I know of anywhere for win
ter apples. II lies in slopes and
ridges Of just about the right grade
to provide both water and air
drainage and the settlers there
Will maze a great mistake if they
do not make a superhuman effort
at once to put out as large a tract
as possible of winter apples. If a
hundred Of them would put out
only five acres each they would
have tract of 500 acres that
would come into bearing at prac-
lically the same time, and would be
sufficiently large to attract buyers,
and hence get the advantage of
prices and save expense in selling.
Mr.. Coiner is a man OF wide ex-

and in a very good position to
judge. He is making a good amount
