ing. perhaps, does not rank as the
leading industry of Idaho, as an indus
try II has attracted more people to
the state than any other enterprise.
The high prices obtained. for fruit
from 1907 to 1911, led to heavy plant
ings of prunes and apples in our ir-
rigated valleys and we have at this
time approximately $4,000 acres set to
commercial orchards; IS per cent Of
which is in light bearing. 20 per cent in
fun bearing and 20 per cent non
bearing.

ties in the amount OF acreage, there be-

At the beginning of the season 1915
indications were for record-break-
ing crop Of fruit The growers gen
orally were optimistic. they had
pruned and sprayed better than ever
before and practically every orchard
that was old enough was white with
blossoms, giving promise of an i'm
mense crop. Nature played us false,
however, and on the second week in
May sent down her wintry blasts and
the thermometer dropped to IL de-
grees in some localities, with the result
that practically the entire fruit crop of
sol thern Idaho was ruined. Northern
Idaho Jared better and especially was
this true of the Lewiston section
which has Just harvested the largest
crop ever produced there.
The past three years have not been
prosperous ones for the fruit grow
ers, especially those owning apple Or
chards. The low prices of 1914 and
1915, together with an almost tota.
failure in 1916, has discouraged many
growers and they are seriously debat-
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of pulling out a
great many Of their trees and engaS-
ing in the growing of other crops.
BOOM PRICES BAD.
one of the very worst things that
ever struck Idaho was the boom prices
in fruit lands a few years ago result
ing in many people buying land at
prices beyond reason and setting to
fruit. The prices did seem reasonable
when compared with returns received
| for fruit from 1907 to 1911 but we
| must remember that the tonnage OF
northwest fruit marketed at that time
was small and OF course found ready
sale at good prices. Conditions are diff
ferent now, the tonnage has increased
immensely and the export business has
been almost nothing for the vast year
or two on account of lack of shipping
facilities and many people are con-
demning the fruit business and seek
ing some other means of getting rich
quickly. Thousands of acres of farm
lands, suitable only for general farm
ing, have been planted to be sold
out in tracts with the result that a
lccted and will never come into prof

table bearing. II you own an orchard
in such q condition the best thing to
do is to quit trying to grow fruit and
grow something that you can make
pay. No doubt you have paid a fruit
land price Tor land best adapted to
growing grain or hay-but charge this
up to experience.
Fruit tree diseases and pests of va
rious kinds are now quite prevalent
in the northwest and growers are kept
busy from me beginning until the end
of the season lighting them. To as
sist the growers in this work, there
was established several years ago the
horticultural inspection department
with an appropriation sufficient to en-
ploy inspectors to examine orchards
and enforce the spraying and cutting
out OF all trees infected with con-
tagious or infectious diseases. 1t is al
so the duty of the inspectors to eX-
anime shipments of fruit and prohibit
the sale OF all diseased fruit. The in
spectors also act in an advisory ca
pacity when called upon, assisting the
growers in both pruning and spraying.
All trees, vines and shrubs imported
into the state are examined by the In
spectors to make sure that they are
free from insect pests injurious to
plant life. Had there been such a pro-
vision some 20 years ago the San Jose
scale. the most deadly insect known
to plant life, would perhaps not have
been brought into the state. 1t cost
the fruit growers annually thousands
of dollars combating this pest which
at best can only be controlled, and not
entirely eradicated. Thousands Of
acres of orchards are coming into
bearing in the next two years owned
mostly by growers with little or no ex-
pcrience in the control of insect pests
! This will make the work of the in
| spection department unusually heavy.
II is estimated that the prune and
apple crop will be at least one half
heavier the coming year than that of
any previous year, as the trees have
had a years rest and are in an unusu-
ally strong condition.
TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
| To be a successful grower it is nee
cssary for YOU to get down to hard
work and keep at it. Too many of
US do our orchard work by proxy,
| leaving the other fellow to do the
/ work and then expect results. If you
are not willing to go up against hard
work stay out of the game, and above
all do not maintain an orchard that
| is of no value to you and a menace
to your neighbors. Every time you
| fail to pray it lessons your chance
OF success, also that of your neighbor.

FORGED ON A CHECK.

basis of a suit involving two Brule
county banks, probably the first of
it's kind in the United States, which
has just been settled by the state su-
preme court.
The facts in the case were not dis
puted. George Kost, a Greek rail
road laborer. deposited $500 in the
First National bank of Pukwana
He could not write, SO was Identified
by the foreman of the gang. The
passbook was delivered to kost and
shortly after he deposited $40. In
September, 1913. two men appeared
at the Brule National bank at Cham
berlain. One of them carried Kost's
passbook, and claiming TO be the
Greek himself, signed an *" to a
check for 1870 and was given the
money.
A month later the real Kost ap-
peared at the Pukwana bank and re
auested his money When il was re-
fused because the account was drawn
he sued and vas given judgment for
1910. The Pukwana bank then ask
ed the Chamberlain institution to re
imburse il to the amount of the
check. This was refused. the latter

paid the check without question and
had therefore assumed the response

The supreme court decided in ia

that the Chamberlain bank, by cash
ing the check. induced the drawee to
relax his vigilance. and hat by in
dorsing 1t the payee warrants the
