! 1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which viii start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and

you will wake up feeling great. No

however, that no small part of the in
crease in yield was due to the practice
indicated. Finally, the Importance of
bees as agents of cross-pollenation
cannot be over-emphasized. In the
case just mentioned, a number of
swarms of bees were obtained and dis
tributed thru the orchard along with
the Seeding branches at blooming
season. 1t makes little difference how
thoro the provision for cross-pollena-
tion thru the mixed planting Of inter-
fertile varieties; cross-pollenation will
not be effected unless insects are pres

tree. Fortunately many fruit grow
ers realize the Importance Of pollen
carrying insects and keep bees. Many
however, do not. There is little ques-
ton but that. many cherry orchards
now having light sprinkling of trees
that are good pollenizers would be
rendered much more productive if the
owners would give proper recognition
to the known fact regarding the i'm
portapce of bees in the orchard.

as the center Of the whole district.
Now Mr.. Pratt is making big ef-
fort to give the farmers just what
they want in the matter of roads and
the farmers should do their utmost To
cooperate with him, and everyone is
urged to attend and hear what Mr.
Pratt has to say and to help organize
the territory on a sound working
basis.
The plan as outlined would mean
that each district would have a man
on the job to keep in touch with
comparatively few miles of road, and
when work was needed he would sum-
mon out his crew and the farmers
would do the work. 1t would eliminate
the expensive and wasteful method
of a travelling supervisor who at best
could never keep in close touch with
all the roads in his district. II isn't

stitute, and we hope for substantial
turnout to show Mr.. Pratt that we like

NOW IS TIME TO
MIX CHERRY TREES
Growers Should See to 1t That
-POllenizers are Placed
& in their Orchards

From time to time District Horti-
cultural Inspector Luke Powell has
sought to impress upon the cherry
growers the necessity of cross-pollen-
alton. The sterility or light produc-
ton of many orchards in the county
he attributes to lack of pollenation.
The Oregon Agricultural college has
made an exhaustive study of this SUBJ
ject and a few practical suggestions
are made in the following bulletin:
When the facts of self-sterility and
inter-fertility of sweet cherry varie-
ties are once understood and are ap-
preciated, the wisdom of not only mix
ed paintings but of making certain
particular mixed planting is apparent.
Whoever sets out an orchard of Bing,
Lambert or Napoleon should plant
with them one or more of the several
varieties that are known to be efficient
pollenizers for them. One tree of. the
pollen producer to every six or eight
of the main variety is sufficient to pro-
vide thoro pollination.
Those who have young orchards of
single variety not yet in bearing, or
mixed orchards of two or more of the
varieties that have been shown to be
inter-sterile, should graft over one
tree out of every six or eight to some
other variety that would otherwise
be planted for the same purpose. This
of course should also be done in older
orchards that are of bearing age, but
that are not bearing satisfactory crops
thru failure of the fruit to set.
1t need hardly be pointed out that
fruit growers having orchards con-
sisting mainly of Bing, Lambert, or
Napoleon, but who have few scatter
ing trees of Black Republican, Black
Tartarian or some other good pollen
izer, or even scattering Seeding trees
in the orchard, should carefully pre-
serve them. They are probably among
the most valuable trees in the orchard.
There is still another temporary
measure that may and should be re-
sorted to in the case of orchards that
are of bearing age, but are not pro-
vided with inter-fertile varieties that
will effect efficient cross-pollenation.
At blossoming time large branches
may be cut from seeding trees and
placed upright in buckets of water
here and there thruout the orchard,
so that the agents of cross-pollena-
ton, bees and other insects, may carry
their pollen to the flowers of the or
'chard trees. The efficiency of this pro-
cedure may be illustrated by the re-
suits obtained from it in one particu-
lar instance this year. The plan was
recommended to a grower at The
Dalles, Oregon, who last year (1912)
had very poor set of fruit, harvest
ing only Is tons of cherries. This year
1915 tons were harvested from the
same trees, tho weather conditions at
the blooming time were no more IA
vorable. This TRIPPING of the crop
was not entirely due, of course, to the
better cross-pollenation secured this
year. The trees were older and would
naturally have produced a few more
tons of fruit. 1t is reasonably certain
