A letter asking for information on
the following questions was recently
received at this station.
Question-We have number OF
five-year-old apple, pear and plum
trees which have made very thrifty
growth, but bear no fruit. We have
been advised to drive rusty nails in
to the trunks and roots. Would you
consider this good practice?
Answer-Driving rusty nails into
the trunks of fruit trees, hanging
horseshoes among the branches and
other like practices are very poor ones
for the intelligent fruit grower to use.
The practice will sometimes have the
desired effect, but it drains the vital
ity of the tree and is not natural
forcing. 1t has the same effect as
girdling the tree by removing strip
of bark around the trunk. The down.
ward movement of sap or plant food
to the root is cut off and the excess
of plant food in the top is forced into
the branches and twigs, forming fruit
buds. Fruit is produced, but the roots
are starved. A much better practice
is summer pruning This has ten
dency to form fruit buds without in
turing the tree. A summer cover
crop also has the same tendency by
drying the SOIL but our orchards us''-
ally need all the moisture available
during the summer and this practice
is usually not available.
Question-At that time of the year
should they be pruned?
Answer-With young trees such as
yours, ! should prune during the sum-
mer, usually in July or August. Watch
for the terminal buds on the new
growth and prune when they have
formed.
Question-Our soil is heavy clay
loan, very productive. We have
planned to put out largely of Phenom-
email berries. Do you consider these
a good berry for market and are they
as profitable and hardy as the Logan
berry?
Answer believe the Phenomenal
an excellent berry, but whether 1t
would be as profitable for you to
grow as the Logan berry could only
be determined by trial. Many grow
ers prefer the Logan berry to the Phe-
nomenal, while others like the latter
type DeSt mere are HanS iAioiS ~
gans in cultivation than Phenomenais
which makes them little more popu-
lar. Our Phenomenal have a ten
deney to form double or split fruits
more often than our Logans.
Question-Would you advise goose
berries or currants on such soil. II
SO. what varieties are considered best
for market?
Answer-With proper handling OF
the soil. / believe gooseberries and
currants could be grown at a good
profit. Two varieties of gooseberries
which do well in Western Washins-

on hand about 60 car loads. ac-
cording to reports. A total of $4,000
cases of blackberries, or 3,422,0 ,00a
pounds, were taken care of by the
cannery. Last year the total was
only 1,750,000 pounds. Prices have
been as good as those prevailing
last year, Notwithstanding the in
crease in the output.
All canning for this year has
been finished and the time at the
cannery from now on will be devoted
to marketing.
Just remember. That what Puy-
allup has done in the berry grow

COUNTY LOSES ITS FEE. SUIT

Judge E. A Quicker. Humboldt
district Judge, presiding over the
Churchill county district court,
rendered an opinion last Wednes
day in the case of Churchill county
VS. Ex-Sheriff Lee N. Wightman, in
an action in which the county was
seeking to recover the sum Of
$900.39 fees held out by the ex-
sheriff for business and sheep
license collections made while he
was in Office. The total amount of
busiess licenses collected upon
which Mr. Wightman claimed six
per cent commission was $13,-
O4O.45 and sheep licenses to the
amount of $500 were also collected,
the statutes providing a 20 per
cent commission on the latter form
of collections
Judge Oucker's opinion favored
the ex-sheriff and was quite
lengthy. He held that under
present laws operative, the sheriff
receives $4,000 annually as sheriff
and that he is also empowered to
appoint deputy at salary of
$720 per annum. That these sums
are payment only for the duties of
sheriff and do not apply to pay
ment for license collections.
Decisions have already been
rendered by the states supreme
court in similar court instances
where other counties were con-
cerned and in every instance the
supreme court has held against the
counties suing and in favor of the
sheriff holding out the commission.

FA7HERLY ADVICE

This afte. noon in the district
court room Judge Langan dis
pensed some fatherly advice that
is sincerely hoped will sink home
and prevent young woman from
becoming the wife of a convict.
1t appear that a convict now
confined in the pentientiary named
C. A. McCarty, opened up a
correspondence school with matri-
mony in view. A young woman in
the east answered his letters and
came to this city. This happened
some months ago. She has been
awaiting the release of the prison
er in order to marry him The
mother of the Young woman is
with her. The two this morning
asked the judge for letter to the
Board of Pardons in relation to a
release of this man that the girl
might marry him. AS Judge
Langan sentenced him to % months
for forgery and studied his case,
he knew what he was talking
about.
He advised this aged lady to
take her daughter as far away
from Mccarthy as possible, and
ais advised the young woman to
avoid the marriage as she would
death.
His :cture, while it did not
seem to sink in as deep as il
should was most timely and we'll
meant The girl and woman are
waiting here for the release of this
man who has a bad record all
round. The lunacy commission
should take up this case and set
the two misguided women on the
right trail. Carson Appeal.

THE MAYORS
UNSElFISANESS
- - y

In a recent issue incident to the
the following statement: I'm justice
to the Mayor II should be stated that
he demurred in the matter stating
that he did not think the appointment
would stick and did not favor It,"
In consequence of this statement the
Mayor makes a statement, the very
embodiment OF unselfishness, while
the other commissioners follow with
statement of more belligeTent, or
defiant attitude. Both statements
were published in our last issue. The
Mayor says Il do not think this
statement should have been made as
there was no cause, ETC." evidently
desiring, notwithstanding any opin-
ions he might have had, or expressed,
in caucus or in general conversation,
to share his part of the responsible
ity with his fellow commissioners.
Now we desire to say that there
was no intention on our part to cause
any jar in the Board of Commission
ers. Our information came from a
source so close, and so favorable 10
the Mayor and the Commissioners
that even he, or they, would not have
doubted II. The Mayor says After tae
appointments were agreed upon in
caucus we agreed that they should
be sustained by unanimous vote 90
that | raised no objection in regards
to the Justice of the Peace office AT
THAT TIME, but in conversation
with several parties since ! have stat
ed that | believe that If the case OF
the appointing of a Justice was taken
into court that the COURT WOULD
DECIDE THAT WE DID NOT HAVE
THE POWER TO APPOINT" Again
he says, whatever differences there
may have been in the caucus that "a
far as my personal feelings are con
cerned they are forgotten" Certain
ly, here is practically no difference
between our statement and that OF
the Mayor II was simply the Sub

stance" and not the form" that We
we're getting at. Whatever differen-
ces may have existed was Mt the time
the matter was threshed over, OF
course, and at the meeting when the
slate was ratified there was no &C.
casion for differences. We simply
tried to present the case. as It came
TO US. and in so doing, some OF the
commissioners apparently feel hurt.
lnasmuch as the Mayor desires to
waive all differences we feel to &C.
cept his statement In good faith and
commend him for his unselfishness,
As to the other statement; we are
surprised at the territory it covers.
For instance 1t says MIR. Hayball has
not at any time expressed the opinion
quoted" &C. We nave not previously
been informed nor did we realize
that we had men in existence that
have such complete power, control
and knowledge of the opinions Of MFR.
fiayball. Again "as far as We are
concerned there will be no apologies
offered and NO RETREAT MADE
FROM THE POSITION TAKEN"
Gee, Whiliker! No apologies. No re-
treats. No use for courts with these
Fellows A law unto themselves.
as to the controversy we trust 1t
will be short lived. The matter
seems to hinge on the power of the
Commission to create the office. AS
to the two gentlemen in the case
both are competent so far as We
know. Personally Mr.. Brangham is
of our own political household, and
from selfish point of view we
should lean his way, yet under the
circumstances we feel that inasmuch
as Mr.. Marshall is the choice of the
commissioners, who have the respon-
sibility of the execution of the law,
that it would be. right for them to
have their choice. therefore we trust
it will develop that they have the
right to create the office for it is
service that We, want, and the best
service can be rendered only
when the responsible parties have
their way, and are satisfied with the
men with whom they must work.
Further we are not ayssseNto saying
that so far Mr.. Marshall has given
evidence Of being good justice, and
II his appointment is legal all well
and good. but 1t certainly should he
determined without delay in order
that the interests Of, the people will
not be in jeopardy. We understand
that all Mr.. Brangham asks is that
the law be carried out in the interests
of the people, and he certainly is TO
be commended for the stand he is
taking. th ~ ~
