The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-12-01

By j. L. Stahl, Horticulturist, West
ern Washington Experiment Station,
Puyallup.
A letter asking for information on
the following 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 into
trunks and roots. Would you con-
slider this good practice.
Answer: Driving rusty nails into
the trunks of fruit trees, hanging
horse shoes 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 vitality of the tree and is not a
natural forcing 1t has the same
effect as girdling the tree by remov-
ing strip of bark around the trunk.
The downward movement of sap or
plant food to the roots is cut off and
the excess of plant food in the top is
forced into the, branches and twigs,
forming fruit buds. Fruit is produc-
ed but the roots are starved. A much
better practice is summer pruning

moved.
Question: Do you consider it good
practice to lightly split the bark on
cherry trees? Does this stop gum
ming?
Answer: I do not consider this a
good praci ice but it sometimes has
the desired effect. Often it does not.
I would not severely cr1ticise man
for Sitting the bark of his cherry tree
as last resort for gummosis, for he
is excusable in combating that dis
ease. However, I would prefer to try
other methods such as cutting out
the gum, draining the soil, if neces-
sary, before using such severe
method.
Question: Are evergreen black
berries considered as profitable as
logans? Does the new thornless ever
green possess the characteristic firm
ness of the old variety?
Answer: I have been trying to get
a satisfactory answer to the first part
of your question myself. Some
growers seem to think that they can
get better profit with less work from
loganberries than from evergreens,
while others will dispute the state
ment. We have no reliable records
to prove this statement nor to dispute
it. am unable to give you the in
formation you ask about a thornless
evergreen.
Question: We are told that cherry
trees do better and are less liable to
disease if not cultivated after they

are four or five years old. Is this
fact?
Answer: I have never seen orchards
of cherry or any other fruit that have
suffered from excessive tillage in
Western Washington. We have cher
1ies forty years of age at the Expert
ment Station that receive intensive
summer tillage with winter cover
crops of vetch. These trees are giving
excellent results.
Question: Is it better to set out
trees and plants on heavy soil in the
spring?
Answer: If the soil is properly
prepared, the under drainage good
and plants can be secured in which
the wood is we'll ripened, fall plant
ing is as desirable as spring planting.
IT these conditions of soil and plant
cannot be secured, [ should prefer
spring planting for heavy soils.

Questions and Answers

This has tendency to form fruit
buds without injuring the tree. A
summer cover crop also has the same
tendency by drying the soil, but our
orchards usually need all the moisture
available during the summer and this
practice is usually not advisable.
Questions: At what time of the
year should they be pruned?
Answer: With young trees, such as
yours, l should prune during the
summer, 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 pheno-
menal berries. Do you consider
these a good berry for market and
are they as profitable and hardy as
the Ioganberry?
Answer: I believe the phenomenal
an excellent berry, but whether it
would be as profitable for you to
grow as the loganberry could only be
determined by trial. Many growers
prefer the loganberry to the pheno-
menal while others like the latter type
best. There are many more logan in
cultivation than phenomenals which
makes them a little more popular.
Our phenomenal have tendency to
form double or split fruit more often
than our logans.
Question:: Would you advise goose
berries or currants on such soil. 1t
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 we'll in Western Washington
are the Champion of Oregon and the
Josselyn In this locality the Victoria
is perhaps the most popular currant.
1t blooms late and escapes the late
| spring frosts. The Perfection, Fay's
Prolific and Wilder are also good
varieties and very popular with some
growers. Our records show that the
Red Cross has given US the best re-
suits. When it becomes more widely
distributed it should prove very pop
ular In Western Washington.
Question: l understand there is
compound to be worked in around
the roots of raspberries which hardens
the berries and makes them stand
shipping better. DO you know what
this is and where it can be procured?
Answer: You probably refer to
potash. 1t can be secured from
almost any large seed firm. Growers
who use it claim it has tendency to
improve the firmness OF the berries.
The soil must be in fine physical con-
dition, however, by the liberal use of
manures to get the best result from
any commercial fertilizer.
Question: We are told to prune
off all lateral branches of loganberries.
Would you consider this good prac-
tice? Would this apply to evergreen
blackberries also?

the power dam in Sears to make way
for one of the speeding Rock Island

silent who has been employed at the

below. The upper portion of his body
struck the rock and mud bank while
his lower limbs splashed into the wa

badly injured. His shoulder blade is
broken as are two ribs. 1t is possible
that his fall caused internal injuries.
The attending physician says the &C

.SAGEITEA WILL
DARKEN The HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color--Dandruff.
Quickly Removed.l

There is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use of
a simple ''Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made brew
of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
is done by skillful chemists better than
we could do it ourselves; and all we
have to do is to call for the ready-made
product, Wycth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
druff, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get a fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the gaick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.
