Sollenberger, and built house and
other buildings, such as a we'll and
proceeded to farm the 80 acres. He

Country Store Increases Business
John Oborn, proprietor of The Peo-
Piles store at Snake river bridge,
when asked as to his business for the
year tated that 1t had increaed about
20 per cent over last year and is very
satisfactory. He said he felt that the
public had given him very generous
patronage and he felt encouraged in
his venture at giving them good
goods on small profits. Mr.. Oborn
Approves Of building up home in
dustries, and requested that his name
be entered in the list of home boost
ers on page two of this issue.
Orchardist Succeeding
E. M. Snider, who ha the large
orchard just north of the bridge, is
harvesting a big apple crop. He is
selling them at about 65 cents a
bushel and he takes from eight to
ten boxes from each tree. There are
65 trees per acre, and 1t gives him
about 1926 per acre. Last year he
stored lot of apples hoping to sell
them during the winter, and he had
to feed them to the hogs. They are
not very valuable for that but they
help some. He does some pruning
and cultivating and spraying each
year, about SIS worth per acre he,
thinks, but has not kept close ac-
count of this. He keeps the orchard
in good condition all the time. He
sprayed only once this year, using
strong solution after the June rains
were over, and he has fewer worms
than ever before. He thinks the
rainy weather interfered with the ac-
tivities of the moths. He took out
a lot of trees last winter, because
there were too many of the summer
apples and 1t was not practical to
market them, they spoil so quickly.
l.. Jensen lives half mile north
of the o. F. Smiths residence, and
has nine acres of beets which he esti-
mates at 12 to IA tons per acre. One
acre of potatoes not very good, and

wheat at so bushels, eight or nine
acres of alfalfa that was not very
good, due to rusting in the spring,
has three acres OF young trees not
bearing, yand some old trees that he
did not keep cultivated the past two
years. He says they show the effect
