SUMMER PRUNING FOR FRUIT
TREES

The following inquiry is the style
of letter that this department has been
receiving during the past few weeks:
please inform me, at your earliest
convenience, your method of summer
pruning as applied to fiye-year old
apple trees
This department has been carry
ing on a summer VS.. winter" prun-
ing experiment for number of years
and the records show that where sum
mer pruning was resorted to a mater.
lal increase in the yield per tree was
secured. The time of pruning dur
ing the summer, and the amount OF
wood removed has influenced great
ly the yield per tree. In our exper-
iments We have found that best re-
suits We're secured when the pruning
was done after the terminal buds
had formed Any fruitgrower can
easily determine when these buds
have set by examining the ends OF tn
twigs, Better results will be secur-
ed if one will wait until these buds
have hardened slightly. In many cases
localities in the southern part of the
state the fruit growers should com
mence summer pruning within the
next two weeks. The trees in the
northern part of the state will prob
ably not be ready before the latter
part of the month. The season has
great deal to do with the formtioan
of these buds.
AS stated before the amount of
wood removed will greatly influence
the yield per year. We have secured
better results by pruning moderately,
cutting back from one third to one
half of this years growth. DO not
cut away all this years growth. The
removal Of a portion of the current
year SFOWJu Is, W CeICdln eACeHC,
to the remaining portion
of the tree, for the surplus food will
be deposited in theremaining buds,
them to swell double thesize.
This aids them in forming flower or
gans. If summer pruning is done dur
ing early summer, the flow Of sap
would have tendency to force out
another terminal growth thus Destroy
ing the main object the fruit grower
is striving for-the formation of fruit,
Summer pruning, as rule, does not
affect the present years crop but
will have some bearing on succeed |
ing crops. c. G. VINCENT,

MOUNTAIN HOME
LAND EXT0LLED
Charles G. Sumner Will Gather
Data and Issue Descrip-
tive Literature

Considerable publicity Is to be Civ
en- to the Mountain Home country.
Charles G. Sumner is to have charge
of the work, and he left last night
for Mountain Home where he will
secure the necessary data for the
printing of booklets and descriptive
literature.
Mr.. Sumner has spent several
months this year in the country
around Mountain Home, and he tells
wonderful story of the salvage of
the Great Western wreck through the
efforts of James H. Brady.
There was a little trouble after
Mr.. Brady took hold of the Great
Western companys property" said
Mr.. Sumner, but it has all been ad-
justed, and now all is harmony be.
tween the company and the settlers.
Mr.. Brady yielded to the wishes OF
the settlers in every particular, and
they are assured of more than
abundant water supply.
There are now 1000 acres ia culti-
walton under the immediate canal
and the farmers are just ready to cut
their third crop of alfalfa. They will
get four cuttings this year, though
the last one will be little short.
Next year there will be about 50C(
acres of the project land under water
and the Mountain Home will then
take its proper place as one of the
state s most fertile regions.
Many of the land owners under
the project are not SO situated that
they can work their lands. They wish
to dispose of them, and it is to the
company's interest to get them into
the hands of settlers who will make
them productive. 1t is the purpose
of the company to help the settlers
put their land ON the market, and 1t
is to that end that the publicity wolf
will be done. Statesman.

ROUNDUP STADIUM

PendIeton People Claim Biggest Park
in Country For City Under
10000 Inhabitants

Pendleton, Ore, Aug, 16-No city
in the northwest with the exception
of Tacoma will be able to boast a
larger or more complete stadium than
Pendleton when carpenters complete
the building work just commenced at
Roundup Park and it is doubtful If
any city in the United States of her
size can vie with her in this respect.
An annex to each end of the big
grandstand is underway and an extra
row OF boxes is being installed so that
1t will have seating capacity of
5000 when completed. The bleachers
are being entirely rebuilt so that they
will be twenty instead of twelve rows
deep. Their capacity will be $4,000
thus giving the stadium total seating
Accommodations of 21, 900 pople.
In addition to these improvements.
660 feet of stock barns are under
way a large area of corral space is
being encloesd, low places on the
grounds are being filled, all irregu-
larities in the track corrected, build
ings and fences painted lawns sowed,
trees planted an irrigation system in
stalled, driveways laid out and many
other improvements made.

DAIRY INDUSTRY
PROSPERING

Lewiston Ida, Aug. 16--That the
kamiah valley is developing into a
dairy section is shown in the growth
of the cream shipments made from that
point in the last two years. The
shipments for the months of June and
July this year are 10, 200 and 10000
pounds respectively. The returns
from this source to 80 patrons have
reached close to $1,000 per month for
these two months, and if the increase
for next year keeps up Kamiah will
be one of the record producing
cream valleys of the country. There
has been a great increase in the ac
reage soWn to alfalfa and timothy
this year and the abundant crop reap
ed from this source has encouraged
the farmers who are now becoming
interested in stock to prepare for
the dairy business. The land in the
valley and that along the breaks
of the canyons is found to be we'll
adapted to the growing of grass and
there is a move on foot now to agi-
tate the sowing of considerable of the
waste land to grass for pasture.
The interest being taken in stock
is having it's results in that section,
as number of the farmers are pre-
pairing to improve their stock with
new purchases this fall.
