FINAL MEETING OF TEACHERS

The final meeting fthe year OF
the Ada County Teachers association
was held yesterday afternoon in the
state house, says the Boise Capital
News. The teachers voted unani-
mousIy to change the date of the
county declamatory contest at Merid-
ian to April 80 and agreed toe har-
ter a car to leave Boise in the even
ing to carry all contestants free OF
charge.
An interesting feature of the meet
ing was milk testing demonstration
which was conducted by Lucien
Lemon, principal of the Eagle school.
Mr.. Lemon brought his Babock test
er to the meeting and made several
tests, explaining each thoroughly so
the teachers might become familiar
with that branch of farm education
so necessary.
The attendance at the session num-
bered 81. AS each teacher took lun-
cheou a picnic dinner was enjoyed. II
was voted to be such a success that II
was agreed to have the opening ses-
sion next year on the same plan.
An interesting program was rem
dered and much discussion followed
the topics which dealt largely with
school work.
Miss Ivy Wilson, superintendent OF
Ada county, is highly pleased with
the association meetingst his year
and feels that the teachers have &C
ouired great good from them. The
exchange of ideas and a liberal dis
cussion of methods and accomplish
ments In school work, she believes
has had a broadening effect which
has already made itself felt in schoo
work.

BIG CROP SAYS McBIRNEY

The biggest fruit crop in the his
tory OF the Boise and Payette val
leys," is the prediction of w. S. Nc
Birney, the prune king of southern
Idaho. who has been making gem
eral motoring trip throughout this
section, not only inspecting his own
large tracts but also noting general
conditions. He says the outlook for
big crop was never better and
with warm weather thus far and but
little snow on the nearby hills he
ioes not anticipate killing frost lat
er. With conditions favorable, he
says, the crop this year will be a
record breaker and judging from
present indications he looks for good
prices.

THE BLOOMING PERIOD
lE. f. Stephens. }


It is interesting during the bloom
ing period TO note the time of bloom
ing for apple and other fruits. /
had wondered If early cultivation of
young orchards to conserve the win
ter moisture would bring orchards in
to bearing earlier. Cultivation In
wet, snowy winter.
In 1914 we started cultivation
March 10. In 1916, following a very
dry winter, we started cultivation
March 4, and have cultivated 1856
acres of orchard four times.
Bloom comes later on five-year-
old apple trees under cultivation than
in twelve to fifteen-year orchards
over the fence. Apparently the culti-
waited orchard warns up faster and
earlier than the orchard standing In
grass or weeds.
Apricot sthis season bloomed DUR
ing the late days of March. At EN-
NETT, 80 miles away, a sheltered
peach district, commercial peach or
chards were in full bloom the first
week in April. About Nampa this
18th day of April, peach trees are
coming into full bloom.
The Johnathan apple, just COM
mencing to show a little lboom in
fiye-year-old orchards, will be in full
bloom about the 23rd to 25th. The
Winesap four to five days behind.
Rome Beauty not likely to be in full
bloom for ten to twelve days. Pear
trees at this moment are in full
bloom.
March has been warmer than usual
with very little wind, making an
ideal time for lime sulphur spray,
April has been favorable. The low
est temperature any one night reg
istered by weather service minimum
thermometer was 33.
The ground Is dry and warm, and
with favorable indications for set
tied weather, leads to the expecta-
ton that a full crop of fruits of all
varieties will set. Even the sweet
cherries now in full bloom promise
a full crop.
Orchards in clover or dense weeds
bloom a little later than cultivated
orchards of the same age. Cultivat-
edorchards, aged four to six years
bloom later than old orchards moi
cultivated.
B. F. Hurst, near Boise demon
strated in 1914, that 200 inches o.
water used on 20 acres of orchard
during cold waves, two to ten de
grees below freezing, saved the ap
pie crop through three periods o.
cold. That copious water flooding
during cold waves is superior t.
smudge and heaters which have
been tested for three years by Mr.
Hurst.
/. N. Yost of Meridian has tested
to his satisfaction copious waterinf
before and during bloom as prevent
tive of frost damage. This enabled
him to grow Is packed boxes o
Rome Beauty apples on one tree no
yet eight years Id in 1914, part o
a crop on 900 trees.
A copious supply of water In th'
soil at time of frost periods assist
in free circulation of sap. II frostet
bloom is thawed from within by sal
circulation before the warmth 0
morning sun Inaws from without tn
bud or bloom Is saved.
In commercial orchard district
water should be in all our ditche
as early as the first of April. Tn
orchardist should water freely a
early as possible and maintain irri
CATION through blooming period. II
should be careful, however, not t
over water and mire his spray OUTFIT
