the trees.
Now we believe that TO max,
the fruit business a granc
success, we should plant our
trees moderately close together
and cultivate often. If necessary,
irrigate in dry weather. We
should plant the late blooming
and hardy varieties, and, for
further protection, keep prepar-
ed smudge-pots in case of late
frosts. From close observations
] find that the greatest trouble
IS not in getting people to plant
trees. but IL is in getting them to
properly care for the trees they
are destroyed byimproper cultiva-
ton and the rabbits. There are
several ways trees can be
protected from the rabbits; one
~ by fencing the trees with
rabbit-proof wire fence, but
what | consider the very best
way Of handling the rabbit ques-
ton, is to take cheap. knotty
apples, quarter them and insert
in each quarter Of the apple an
amount Of arsenic mot strych-
nlne) equal 10 about one TO two
grains Of calomel. The arsenic
is not costly and this is a sure
death for Mr.. Rabbit. BY CO.
operating together in this way
and by this method, the farmers
OF the plains could almost exter.
inmate the rabbit, thus saving
annually hundreds Of costly
fruit trees.
Still another way TO protect
the trees from rabbits is to paint
he body Of the tree with a wash
as follows: Boil tobacco
70 a strong ooze. To each gal
on of ooze add one-fourth pound
If pulverized sulphur, two table
spoonful of crude carbolic, and

S0UTH.PLAlNS HORTICULTURE
Proprietor Of PIainyew Nursery
Writes Along This
Line


of Plainview, who has had years
of experience in the nursery
business in this country and
knows whereof he speaks.
The Plains was once looked
upon as a desert or a body of
waste land that could not be
utilized for the comfort of man
on account Of its being short on
trees and supposedly lacking
water But we think this was
Gods purpose to reserve the
best Of His creation for settle
ment until the last, and bless the
intelligent enterprising man
that has the ambition to prepare
the rest for himself.
There may have been times
when the weary traveller has
persisted Of thirst on the Plains,
when he could have dug to it even
with pick and shovel in time to
satisfy his thirst. And it is told
that there was once a party of
people across this section who
were suffering for water. They
were driving a pair of Spanish
mules, and having camped on
Runningwater draw, near Plain
view. discovered that one of
their thirsty mules was paving
in one Of the low places, and
they noticed the sand seemed
very wet. Going back to the
wagon and getting a shovel, they
soon dug down to plenty of water
which quenched the thirst of
both themselves and the mules .
and they all went on their way .
rejoicing.
And since that time we have .
learned that the Plains is one of
best watered districts of our
United States. We might think
that the Plains was not adapted
to the growth Of trees, by il be-
ing destitute of tree growth in
its original state. But this can
be easily accounted for when we
considered that il was once a
vast tract of land all covered
with good grass which would
burn off once or twice year and ,
destroy all tree growth in its in
cipiency. But the light Of the
present discovers that the Plains !
Is naturally well adapted to al. ,
most all semi-tropical trees, and /
also especially we'll adapted to :

trees. And | don't think that d
there is any place on earth where 4

age than on the Plains. u

but what he says. applies generally to
all of Southern Alberta. He says:
Il have seen six crops, four Of them
were first class. one of them a very
good crop, and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last fif
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as l have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches of
moisture, so that l am thoroughly con-
vinced that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
of moisture, and with the natural in
crease of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one OF
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world We have good soil, good
water. and a good climate, and alto
gether just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"

former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can

TO purchase the ready-made CONNER
cial preparations. A barrel or two for
mixing the materials and a one-horse
buggy or wagon, to carry the spray
barrel. can be found on every farm,
land generally there is spare horse
to draw the outfit. A halliday, or at
most day, two to four times a year,
will suffice to spray an orchard of
tFrom 25 TO so trees, according to size.
Spraying must be made a regular
practice. The neglected trees have
probably sheltered insects and dis
eases for some years that must be
.subdued by thorough and regular
spraying. Good judgment must be
used in all the operations. Do not
carry any one operation to excess or
10 the neglect of others. The trees
are being stimulated along several
lines as pruning, cultivating, fertiliz'
ing and spraying. and each must be
an accompaniment to the others.
Success depends upon many things
but the first thing is the man. To
undertake this work in a half-hearted
way will discourage success.

such fruit cannot be expected to ma

Fruit and foliage are kept free from
these troubles by very thin film Of
spraying mixture, the spore. which is
the seed Of the disease, being unable
to grow through this substance;
hence, the great Importance Of having
the material upon the foliage and
fruit before the disease starts.
Insects are destroyed by eating
parts of plants upon which has been
sprayed little poison, or by having
their bodies struck by some penetrat-
ing substance, such as oil.
The standard material to insure
protection against fungous troubles is
called Bordeaux mixture; the name
Bordeaux" was taken from the place
in France where the mixture origi.
mated.
There are but three things used in
its preparation, water, lime and cop
per sulphate. The water acts as a
carrier, the lime neutralizes tho
caustic action of the copper sulphate
and also makes the mixture stick to
whatever it is sprayed upon, and the
copper sulphate is the chemical that
prevents the growth of the spore Of
the disease.
The equipment necessary for spray
ing orchards should depend upon the
amount Of work to be done, and here
with are briefly described the most
common types.
A barrel outfit consists OF a good
strong pump and agitator adjusted in
barrel holding so gallons can be car
ried about in any kind of wagon.
One man can drive and pump, while
the other attends to the spraying.

That spraying must be done to grow

praying must be done to save the

by those who make it a business to

gallons which is set upon a wagon
bed, and on the tank is fitted a pump,
usually Of greater power than a bar
rel pump. Generally tower is built
upon the tank from which the tops of
good-sized trees can be sprayed. One
man can drive and pump, and one or
two can spray. Some device to keep
the mixture agitated should be pro-
vided. This is frequently driven by
the sprocket gear attached to one Of
the wagon wheels. The man who
pumps can give the mixture frequent
agitation with paddle or large wood
en- hoe.
A tank holding about 200 gallons

about $25.
