The Orchard on the Grain Farm
You Don't Care For It, Cut It Down-if Your Wife Will
Let You. It Needs Care However.

there's only one thing to do; and that
is take care of it.
If it has been growing up in weeds,
Iplow it up, sow it to clover, and thus
fertilize it. Scrape the rough bark off
the trees, whitewash them, prune them,
and if you can, head them out low, SO
that the fruit can be gathered easily.
Learn how to spray, and then spray
every tree. We are not telling you how
to spray. If you are interested, you
win send to your experiment station
and get spraying calendar. If you are
not interested, you would not do it if
we should tell you how.
Orchard Business Apart.
We don advise farmers to go into
commercial orcharding. That's a sep
arate business by itself. No farm, how.
ever, is really farm unless it has an
orchard. What you want is fruit enough
for your family, and in good years some
to give away to the people in the neigh
borhood, and perhaps in town, who dc
not have an orchard. Don't do any
halfway job. Either make the orchard
a delight, an ornament to the farm, q
joy to your wife, and a double joy tt
your children, or else dig it up. Any
thing is better than rundown, neg
lected orchard.
1t will cost you something to spray,
but if the farmers in any neighbor
hood determine that they are going t(
have orchards, as they should for the
sake of the farmers, the wives and the
children, and the farms themselves, it i.
easy to arrange for some man to spray
all the orchards in the neighborhood, tt
keep the trees pruned, and give direc
tions as to how to take care of them
The orchard in the corn belt takes tn,
place of the vine and fig tree in ancient
Isreal; and the man who does not have
one is not living up to his privileges
as an American farmer.

Feeding Field Peas
Proves Success
HENRY ROSENBERG, who is farm

III ENRY ROSENBERG, who is farm
H ing 1700-acre wheat ranch a
few miles out of Pendleton, Ore
gon, has for the last three years had
four acres planted to Canadian field
peas.
He considers them very fine for hog
feed, because on account of the small
amount of work and trouble they place
him to compared to the amount of value
he figures they are to him.
Beginning about the first of June he
turns his hogs in on them and from
that time on he bothers no further III
regard to them.
They clean the patch up entirely, eat
ing everything, peas, pods, vines and
as much of the root as they can root
out.
last year he ran from 80 to so pigs
on his patch and will probably put in
as many or more this year than he
did last. He says there is no danger
of volunteer peas if one wishes to dis
continue raising them at any time, for
the pigs clean them up by fall so clean
that it is impossible to find single
pea upon the ground.

rHE ORCHARD ON the grain farm is
usually an object worthy of pity

THE OkCHAhD ON the gram 1arm Is

and compassion-a poor thing. 1t
was planted because the farmer thought
1t would not be home without an orch
ard. The trees were not carefully Sc
lected in the first place. Too many
of them were summer and fall apples.
The farmer took pride in it while it
was growing and looked promising; but
even before it began to bear he neglect
ed it.
He allowed the borers to get in their
work, and percentage of the trees
died. He allowed the rabbits to bark
the trees in the winter. He allowed the
hogs to run in it and rub against the
trees He failed to prune. He did not
spray because he had not the time. He
allowed it to grow up in weeds, pos
sibly in blue grass. Then, after it had
borne for three or four years, and he
was dissatisfied with the fruit he be-
gan to wonder why he ever planted an
orchard. He began to figure that If he
had never planted it, but had grown
corn on the land, he would be much
further ahead now without expense. The
net result is that the average orchard
on the farm is unproduetive, does not
pay, and the farmer wishes he had
never planted it; that even 80 bushels
of corn per acre would have been worth
two or three times as much as all the
fruit he ever got off that orchard. The
orchard then becomes a preferred breed
ing place for orchard pests
Cut It Down.
What should be done with an orch
ard of this kind? If your wife will let
you, you had probably better cut down
the trees, grub out the stumps, and
plant corn. We suspect she won t allow
you to do it. 1t would not seem like
home without an orchard. In that case

Tree Wash,

To the Editor.-Please give formula
for making whitewash for peach trees.
s. L. r.
Dissolve as much common washing
soda as you can in six gallons of water;
then dissolve one gallon of ordinary
soap to the above; slake some lime to a
rather thick paste and add enough of
this to make thick whitewash. Scrape
off the loose bark, if any, also remove
the soil from the base of trunk, digging
out the borers if you see signs of them
then apply the wash freely from the
larger limbs to the ground, then replace
the soil about the tree.

nm DISCUSSING the business side OF
fruit distribution at the recent
meeting in Chicago of the Second
National Conference on Marketing and
Farm Credits, Charles W. Holman of
the University of Wisconsin and secre-
tary of the Conference, gave seven rea-
sons why marketing associations fail:
!. A wrong type of organization.
2. The failure to pay good salaries
and expect efficient service.
3. A half-hearted feeling among the
producers, which led them to follow
false gods Of antagonistic interests that
were combining for the purpose of dis
rupting the local organization.
4. Failure on the part of the local
associations to federate with each other
to obtain strong selling power and to
develop strong purchasing power.
s. Failure to provide for proper in
speetional and auditing services.
6. Failure to guarantee the product
and protect the guarantee by the credit
Of the organization.
7. The spread of tenancy through
some twenty-six states of the Union.
Get Down to Facts.
"Such causes are to be expected in
the present development of the farmer
rs business man, for we must re-
member that the evolution Of farm
business is at least a generation be-
hind the evolution Of other forms Of
business. There are many fundamen
tai causes for this condition, which
have been dwelt upon by other speak
ers and by many writers.
1T is customary to discuss the
farmers cooperative movement some
what in the same way that people
discuss the single tax or the cooper
stive commonwealth, as movement Of
beautiful idealism. Very few people
have as yet gotten down to the actua
dollars and cents point of view in dis
eussing this thing
Organization Is Thing.
"And after all we do not carr
whether it is the non-profit- making
corporation, or the joint stock com
pany, or the partnership agreement
or whatever form of organization tina
the farmers business may take, pro
vided that in the running of that busi
ness he gets the thing that is NOV

CHERRY GUMos1s, REMEDY.

to clean off the affected parts, re-
moving bark and the gum and any de-
eayed material, then disinfect with a
solution of part corrosive sublimate to

heal, but the original cause is perhaps
imperfect transformation of combium

BRITISH COLUMBIA PAPER
GIVES FAIR HIGH PRAISE

Highest praise for the Whatcom
County Fair conducted at Lynden
is contained in an editorial which
appeared October in The British
Columbian of New Westminster, b.
C. Under the heading, "A Real
Farmers Fair, j. w. Cunningham,
the editor writes as follows:
Lynden's four days fair closed on
Saturday, having to the credit OF
the Whatcom Exhibition Assocla-
ton of Washington state record
for attendance, greater exhibits ana
interesting entertainment features.
1t Is only three years since this
county fair was organized, yet it
has taken it's place as one of the
considerable fall exhibitions of that
fertile region whose waters flow
into Puget Sound or Gulf or
Georgia. The attendance on Fri
day was 5000 and on Saturday an
equal number crowded the grounds.
The exhibit of agricultural products
was most commendable and not the
least striking feature was the apple
exhibit. more extensive one than
was staged at the Vancouver Fair
this year and coming well up 20
what is yearly to be seen at the
New Westminster exhibition. OF
course the Lynden fair had no dis
trict exhibits to demonstrate the ag-
ricultural productiveness of The
Nooksack valley, but it had well
presented exhibits of grains, grasses
and vegetables. The display of
hot nj aI
all of one side of the upper section
of the main building. The display
of school childrens work in dones-
tic science, in manual training and
in art occupied one building and
was a revelation of what progress
our American cousins are making
In pre-vocatiOnal and home-making
education.
The success of the Lynden fair
Is all the more remarkable when ac-
count is taken of the fair grounds
equipment. These are not on an
elaborate scale, but are fairly suf-
ficient in accommodation and fin
ish for the work required of them.
Thus it Is demonstrated that expen-
sive buildings are not necessary for
the success of an agricultural fair.
What Is necessary is attention to
the features that interest the farm
ing community. These are the sure
supporters of real agricultural ex-
nibitiOn. How much a we'll graded
race track where trotting of farm
ers' favorites, running races with
lady jockeys, and athletic events of
various kinds can be run off, con-
tributed to the success of a county
fair it is not difficult to estimate.
The Lynden fair management are
sure it counts. AT any rate New
Westminster has something to learn
from the Lynden fair.

COMIC OPERA STAR COMING

Playgoers who bark back to the
days of comic opera at it's best, and
the younger generation who have
heard SO much about them but have
never seen them, will welcome, the

son. Arthur Cunningham, Arthur
Aldridge, Gladys Caldwell, Herbert
Waterous, John Willard, Herbert
Cripps, Jayne Herbert and Maude
Mordaunt.
The success which came to Will
lam A. Brady when he revived THE
MikadO' was so pronounced that he
determined the time was ripe for
other Gilbert and Sullivan revivals,
and to that end he added to the
repertoire the chief productions of
Gilbert and Sullivan.
In making these revivals, 1t has
been the aim of the producer to adj
here to all the stage traditions
which surrounded the management
of the Savoy Theater, London,
where these operas wer originally
produced. and to that end all the
business found in the original
prompt books, from which the pres
ent revivals We're rehearsed, has
been carried out.
Manager Mexican announces that
mail orders for his out-of-town pat
rons will open Monday, October 26
