Eight years ago we began setting
apple and peach trees, with the in.
tention of becoming commercial fruit
growers. We set IL acres of apple
trees in the fall and the peach trees
in the spring for fillers. using the
square method of setting. As our
orchard land was cut by deep ra-
vines we were careful to keep the hill
sides set in grass to avoid washing,
but on the level we used clean cult
vation in summer with rye for COW
er crop. which was turned under in
the spring. For the trees set on the
hillside we used the hoe, says a
writer in an exchange. After five
years of cultivation the trees had made
vigorous growth, so we sowed the
level land In clover which we NOW
and leave on the ground.
We find our apple trees doing as
well on the hillsldes as on the hill
tops, but the peach trees are hardly
so good, as they need more thorough
cultivation than II is possible to give
them with the hoe.
We pruned as soon as the trees
were set. repeating the task each
spring, and after five years all trees
that had made good growth were
pruned again in June to check wood
growth and promote fruit buds.
At two more recent settings OF
II acres each. We have used the hex
agonal method OF setting and find It
much better than the square, as we
can get more trees on an acre and
give each tree more useful space.
There are several arguments as to
which is the best time for setting.
Our conclusion is 10 order our trees
sent in the fall and heel them in
until spring then set as soon as the
soil viii do the work. They are too
apt TO be winter killed II set in the
fall.
Some orchRrdists spray every year
but as we have never been molested
with any kind of scale insects we do
not. The green lice are our enemy on
the apple and for this We find that
spraying with lime-sulphur solution
Just before the buds begin to swell In
the spring is moro satisfactory than
spraying with kerosene emulsion In
Tho summer. When spraying with lime
sulphur for leaf curl on the peach
we add arsenate of lead for curculio.
Just before the calyx cup OF the apple
closes we spray with arsenate OF lead.
In tho spring Of 1912 we were unable

| to spray all of our peach trees and we
were certainly convinced Of the good
of spraying because the unsprayed
trees had much less fruit which was
of an inferior quality.
Each year in September we so to
every peach tree and take out the
borers. We often see where someone
Is wanting to know what is the best
method of keeping rabbits from gnaw-
ing the trees; our method is to use a
shovel and throw q mound OF dirt up
around the base Of the tree about
foot high. AS il is the habit of the
rabbit to sit up while gnawing he will
find IL inconyenient to do so on the
side of the steep mound and will go
elsewhere. The mound also braces
the tree against winter winds. When
making the mound we take up the
dirt so as to leave n little trench
around the foot of the mound In
this we put wood ashes or manure for
fertilizer. The mounds are torn down
as soon as possible in the spring thus
giving the trees "A cultivation that
would otherwise be impossible be-
cause the mound would be dry so
much earlier.
OF our different varieties OF apples,
Stayman, Grimes Golden. Jonathan,
Baldwin, Greetings, etc, we are par
tial TO the Stayman for growing a
harder tree and the good size, eN-
celleut flavor and kceping quality of
its fruit. The Carman is our favorite
early peach. 1t ripens when the
southern peaches are scarce. while
for late peach the Elberta leads.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.

There is little doubt that the stand of President Wilson regarding the Inn migration bih has been well chosen. not only for the reason that the opera ton of an act of such nature will un- douhtedly result in an unjust discrim nation against the citizens of some countries while faVoring those of others but also because of the fact that the educationa test. which is said to he the principal feature of the re- gently vetoed bill is al doubtful me thod of demonstrating the inherent possibilities of good citizenship pos "ssed hy the foreign subject seeking admittance To our shores. It is safe To say that of the thousands of immi- grants who have been admitted in the past and who have developed into a substantial citizenary which is in every way d credit to the country. there are many who would have been unable to ereditably pass test along the lines proposed.
 According to the best information obtainable at this time the tests, while

not severe, are of m order. and given under such conditions. ms would tax the mental capacity of many of our own citizens who have enjoyed advan- tages along educational lines which are utterly beyond the reach of the average immigrant in his home en- Vironment
 That the fundamental idea involved is good is beyond dispute The know ledge possessed by the individual is, of course in a general sense, d basis from which his possible value as citizen may be partially appraised, yet it Is an equally good assumption, that the individual whose illiteracy is large ly the result of inhibitive conditions and lack of educational advantages as is the case with large majority of the immigrants who seek entrance to this country, may prove an equally good citizen, and that is mainly what the hill in intended to secure.
 Good citizens are wanted, but it is a hazardous method at best that un- dertakes to determine the possible value of a prospective citizen by his ability 10 read and cipher
 As af1ording an opportunity for raising the mental average of our adopted citizens the bill would un- doubtedly have been most effective and also would probably have resulted in q better class of foreign born citizens, vet withal there is no sainsaying the fact that the main result would have been d most unfair discrimination and this is probably the principal reason for the Presidents veto.
