ABOUT DWARF TREES.

Some few months since | answered
some questions about dwarfs. 1t may
be remembered that expressed doubt
about dwarfs being the best form of
trees to use in our commercial
orchards. Where we want ornamental
trees or are very much cramped for
space on city lots, l would recon-
mend the use of dwarf trees but in
all other cases [ would use the stand
ard trees. I am much pleased to find
HI. e. VanDeman, in many respects
the leading horticulturist of the
United States, takes the same view
of dwarfs that do. He was recently
asked through the Rural New Yorker
how far apart dwarf apple trees should
be planted Here is his answer:
eff | should answer this question
from a practical standpoint, l would
say that dwarf apple trees of any kind
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-02-01

should be planted five miles apart.
They are really worthless as a matter
of profit. For the fancy grower who
wants to play with dwarf apple trees
in the back yard of a town lot. those
on Paradise stock should be set 10
feet apart and those on Doucin stock
Is feet apart. The Experiment
Station at Geneva, N. Y, has made
extensive trials with dwarf apple trees
and come to the conclusion that they
are not practical and that almost
every claim that has been made for
them is not borne out by facts as de-
veloped by the experiments on three
large plots
That is good advice. This depart
ment in The Ranch does not contine
its utterances on horticultural matters
to what its editor has to say on such
matters but gives the view of our
leading horticulturists. In this way
we have give in recent issues the
views of our leading specialists on
dwarfs, the use of filters, on winter
and summer pruning and many kin
dred topics.

FRUIT GROWING IN THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST.

Fruit growing in Washington and
Oregon has grown to be one of the
leading industries in these two states.
An interesting question is, how did
fruit growing begin in these two
states? An account of the first apples
ever grown in Oregon territory, which
at that time included what is now
the states of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, is to be found in the History
of the Pacific States of North
America by Hubert Howe Bancroft,
volume %, page AL and reads as fol-
lows:
''The first fruit tree grown on the
Columbia. sprang from the seed of
an apple eaten at dinner party in
London. The dinner had been given
to Captain Simpson of the Company's
coast service. One of the ladies
present, more in jest than in earnest,
took from the apples brought in with
the dessert, the seeds; and dropping
them into Simpsons pocket. told him
to plant them when he should reach
his Northwest wilderness. The cap
tain had forgotten the circumstance
until reminded of it while dining at
Fort Vancouver in 1927, by finding
in the pocket of his waistcoat which
he had worn last in London, the seeds
playfully put there by his lady friend.
Taking them out he gave them to
Bruce, the gardener, who carefully
planted them; and thence, within the
territory OF Oregon began the growth
of apple trees"
Thus began the growing of apples
in the Pacific Northwest. On pages
442-443 of the same history we are in
formed that in 1929, the brig Owyhee,
Captain Dominis, entered the Colum-
bia, and opened trade with the
natives. This ship came around cape
Horn and the history add: son his
voyage out Captain Dominis touched
at the island of Jaun Fernandes and
brought thence peach trees which
were planted in Oregon. Likewise
his vessel was the first that took a
salmon from the Columbia River to
Boston,"
This Captain Dominis was faith
full old tar and did much in opening
up this new country. He knew how
to sail vessel over new and untried
seas but he did not know much about
things on land. Bancroft illustrates
this by telling a funny story about
this valiant old captain. Iquote from
this history, page 443 as follows:
"When. cattle were wanted that

but that is all past now. At first we
filled our cisterns from the irrigation
ditch early in the spring and then
again late in the fall. The water in
the spring is from melted snow in the
mountains and ought to be pure and
must be when it starts on its down
ward course. But there are towns
and cities on the river and at least
some filth must get into the river.
1t is true that an effort has been made
to have septic tanks into which the
sewers of the cities must flow and be
purified. But all this was not salts
factory to the people generally. Now
we have wells bored down about 100
feet and cased up with iron pipes and
no surface water is allowed to 60 to
the bottom of these pipes. The water
will rise in these pipes SO 1T can be
pumped out. This water coming
from 100 feet below the surface is
absolutely pure. On our ranch we
have two of these piped wells. One
has windmill with which to pump
up the water and the other small
gasoline engine, Each of these wells
cost about $3.50 and windmill and
engine cost extra. Very many OF our
neighbors have similar piped wells
and windmills and engines in most
cases. This water is unlimited as to
supply both in summer and winter
and constitutes one of the best assets
we have.
| Newcomers can boil their drinking
water till they can get these deep
wells. In many cities it is not con-
sidered safe to drink any water that
has not been boiled. Prof. Piper,
who now lives in Washington, ID. c.,
told me once wher on a visit on my
ranch in the Yakima valley, that in
Washington he and his family never
drank of the water there till after it
had been boiled. We had to boil our
drinking water here in Seattle this
winter for a period of three weeks
after the breaking of one of the large
pipes. 1t was not very troublesome
| thing to boil some water once a day.
Pure drinking water is one of the
greatest blessings of life.

their increase might Overspread the
rich pastures which lay illimitable on
every side; for beginning Captain
Dominis was requested to bring some

real and substantial progress in farming now than ever before. You very truly say that the demonstrator should be re- garded as q benefaetor. The sooner this truth Is impressed upon the mind of every farmer in Alabama the better will become the possibilities for still greater develop- ment.
 II IS not at all necessary for farmer to be a trained scientist in order to put into practice the plans laid down by the demonstrators for the agricultural depart- ment and now being followed by actlvi- ties on the part of the great railroad sys- tems throughout the south and southeast. but it is an evident fact that too little attention is given to the education of the farmer. M
 The generation ago methods of farming were suitable at that time; the present Is essentially an age Of progress and the farmer who allows himself to follow a plan just because his father followed It. is not availing himself of the possibilities which are rightfully his, The increased productiyeness of the soil by crop rota- tion, the raising. of live stock for the manure as well as profit, the more intelli- gent use of all kinds of fertilizers as well as the curtailment explanations ara reforms which have come to stay, and believe that editorial approval of inten- sive farming by papers of the Age Herald's prominence will, be of vast bene- fit.

ELKS' PICNIC WAS
 A GRAND SUCCESS

Birmingham lodge No. 79. Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, held the most successful picnic and outing in its history yesterday afternoon and last night, when the members and their friends and acquaintances gathered at Germania park for a good old-fashione5 dance barbecue and fun froic.
 The attendance was larger than the committee had even dared hope for. every body was in the best of spirits and the day was thoroughly enjoyed. The out ing lasted until late last night when the picnickers returned to their homes, tired but happy. Dancing was the fea- ture of the programme last night. Harry Jones and his lady friend carried off the honors in the prize waltz, winning the coveted glass of deer's milk Harry was elated beyond description.
 The committee in charge of the af- fair was composed of J. B. McCarty. chairman; F. l.. Schillinger, Champ Year gin, c. w. Frickhofer, J. J. Collins, J. w. Perkins and Ed Sckhert Champ Year gin and MT. Collins were in charge of the barbecue,

No Action on Poindexter Resolution

Washington, June S.-Senator Poin- dexter's resolution abolishing the com merce court came up In the Senate to- day and was debated at length, but not acted upon.
 The discussion of the motion to dis charge the interstate commerce com mittee from further consideration of the measure foreshadowed a serious effort in the Senate to abolish the court when the legislative appropriation bill comes up. Senator Clapp. chairman of the interstate commerce committee. and Senators Nelson, Brown and Cummins spoke in support of the Poindexter mo- tion and Senator Bailey against 1t.
 MT. Poindexter contended that if the commerce court was to be continued Congress might as well abolish the commerce commission, and the supreme court decisions. he said, had discred- ited the commerce court. leaving no ground for 1t to stand upon" He charged that the railroads would have special Influence upon the court.
 Senator Bailey criticised the "bill of repeal' as "a sort of legislative recall" and says that if 1t was to be enacted into law 1t would render respectable and conservative the proposition of an ex-President to recall judges and their decisions"
