ABOUT HOME FOLKS

ABOUT HOME DOINGS
(By A. G. NEWToN.)

This week has always seemed to
me to be the critical time for the fruit
industry In the Grand Valley, as we
are generally in for a crop II the bios
SONS are safe after the Goth. 1t is
true that We have had frosts later
but they have been the exception
and not the rule As we draw near
or to the danger line more growers
are getting ready to light some OF
their heaters, and this is especially
true in those orchards where there
are left crop OF peaches. 1t is also
true that if it shall happen that only
a few degrees of change win hold the
temperatures above the danger line
and conditions are right the entire
crop in an orchard may be saved.
Much depends upon the condition OF
the atmosphere and IL we have an
other rain in the next ten days with
out frost before it there is little
danger in the opinion of old expert
enced growers

An old-timer in the valley said a
few days ago that one of the very
best moves the board of county COM
missioners could do would be to or
der the roads of this county TO be
cut to forty feet and allow the land
owners to move out ten feet on each
side. Forty feet is plenty wide and
If twenty feet OF the center were
rounded up and properly dragged
with as many miles each year as pos

This week there are many apple
and pear trees being set out in this
valley and few if any peach trees.
The value of a fruit tree depends to
a very great extent on the manner
in which 1t is set and the progress
1t makes the first year. Hence 1t is
very important that every care be
taken to do the work in the very best
possible manner. A few extra mo-
ments given in digging the home for
the root system and the placing Of
the roots will materially assist in
the early production of crop of
fruit. If tree is stunted il might
Just about as well be dug up and an
other sect in its place and it almost
impossible to get a good tree in an
orchard when that tree has to be
replanted as they are never given
enough water.

One of the new ideas of recent
years in the work of cement construc-
tion in connection with dams and si-

ment with steel. The siphons now be-
ing constructed at the high line are
reinforced with steel wire about a
half inch thick and in the siphon un-
der Asbury creek was placed two car
loads of this heavy wire or cable-a

Is being used to convey material on

dam and the Golfer dam gives a furth-
er idea of solidity. In order to fasten
this heavy cable 1t was necessary to
construct solid cement structures in
the side of the mountain on both
sides of the river and also dead
men" with which to further attach
holding wires. Superintendent Whit
ney scaled the mountain side and. ex-
cavted into the side of the hill, found
sand and mixed his cement where it
was used, needing only to hoist the
cement bags and pipe the water.

kept at home from much the same
reason-neglect of plain duty. 1t is
too often the case that men who are
elected to represent a district in a
law-malting body forget what they
are hired for the moment they get
to the state capital-not capitol.
They are in their seats just often
enough to let it be known that they
are in the vicinity but miss many i'm
portant roll calls and many oppor-
tunities of serving their constituents
both directly and indirectly.
The case has been known where a
member has an agreement with the
reading clerk to mark him present at
roll call when he is actually sleeping
off the tired feeling which comes
from n pleasure "exertlon" the night
before. Hobson was looking after his
own personal interests rather than
those of the voters and they evidently
understood the situation perfectly. 1t
ought to be lesson to all others and
also to many other districts which
will do well to watch the records
more carefully.
