their final harvest.
The cherry harvest here will follow
on the heels of the Upper Valley
strawberries. The cherry tonnage is
very short this year, due to lack of
pollenization, and it is not anticipated
that more than four carloads Of packed
black varieties will be shipped to east
ern markets. The Royal Ann cherries
have been sold to Portland Gamers at
a price declared entirely satisfactory.
The labor shortage here has not been
so acute since the days of the war, and
orchardists are finding IL difficult TO

SAN JOSE SCALE INCREASING
Lime Sulphur and ScaIecide Must Be
Applied II Orchard Trees
Are to Be Saved.

During the last two or three years
a good many people In the North with
home orchards have believed that the
San Jose scale was becoming extinct.
AS a matter of fact the sleet which
persisted so long on the trees the WIN
ter of four years ago suffocated the
scale lust as does the lime-sulphur
spray when applied. After that WIN
ter, many old trees revived and nave
grown well since then. Now the scale
is catching up again and, unless we
have another such sleet. lime-sulphur
and scalecide will have to be put on
IL the trees are to be saved. A still
day is an ideal time to spray with
lime-sulphur because it is easier to
reach all parts Of the tree when there
is no wind.

The very finest quality peas at the

Alaska and Maud S., smooth-seeded
peas, still remain the earliest of all,
of good quality if taken very young,
but not equal to the wrinkled vari-

not be planted or cropped so early.
1t Is possible with the variety of
peas now on the market to plan a
good succession planting. starting with
Alaska, Surprise, Little Marvel, Grad

However it is better to depend up

ten days apart, as the season may be
such as to bring the cropping of diff

The planting of peas in double rows,
six inches apart, these double rows to
be three feet apart, is about right for
the more dwarf varieties, but if the
more vigorous growing dwarfs are to
be planted they will need at least four
feet between the rows unless they are

found to contain stock beet seed, the
senders will be notified before plant
ing time.
Similar tests made in the green
houses during the past year made pos
sible the location of mixtures con-
tanning stock beets of red, or orange
colored varieties. 1t has been found
that white-fleshed varieties of stock
beets cannot be determined through
termination tests alone but must be
grown to considerable size before
their distinguishing characteristics are
discernible. That the heavy losses ex-
perienced during the past two years
due to this cause constitute strong
argument for the development Of an
American-grown supply of sugar-beet
seed, sufficient for the needs Of our
beet industry, is the belief Of the
officials working on the problem.

DESTROY LAST YEARS PESTS
Excellent Plan to Remove All Stalks
and Burn Them-Ashes Make
Good Fertilizer.

In getting ready to make garden this
spring, 1t is an excellent plan to see
that all the stalks of last years vege-
tables which may have been left stand
ing are removed and burned.
In the first place the ashes will make
good fertilizer as the stems of nearly
all vegetables contain excellent ferti-
lizing material In their ash, and an
even more important consideration is
that by removing and destroying them
the insect pests are likely to be
checked.
Many insect pests find refuge under
boards, among the dried leaves or
stalks over winter. Often the spores
of fungus diseases which create havoc
are only waiting in these old stems to
get into action with balmy weather.
BY burning the refuse a great quantity
of them will be destroyed.

Ex-Judge Landis' Advice to Elderly
Man Who Had Protested Against
Lengthy Prison Term.

In trying cases Judge Lands had a
style all his own. OF all men he hated
liar most and some of his best
shafts of wit were directed at men
he caught lying on the stand. One
OF his best examples of ready wit
occurred about twelve years ago, when
he was sentencing group of defend
ants for Oleomargarine "moonshining."
One defendant was man past six
ty years of age.
"Your sentence" said the judge
pointing his finger at the old man,
will be five years."
"Why-why, can't serve that. I'll
be dead before l can get through n
sentence like that" declared the old
man.
The judge leaned back for a sec
ond, then a twinkle appeared in his
eye. "Well," lie said, leaning forward
confidentially, "well, perhaps you can't,
but do the best you can, anyway"

PREPARING POTATO SEED BED
Select Best Piece of Land and Put It
in Good Shape-clover Sod
Is Excellent.

1t pays to have the potato ground
In good shape. Select the best piece
of ground you have. You are putting
more money into the seed than for
any other farm crop and probably
more into the cultivation too, and SO
YOU should have the best land. Glover
sod makes the best potato ground. Old
blue grass sod is all right If plowed
deep enough and worked up In good
shane. Timothy sod is not good. Avoid
fresh manure 1t produces scab.

they be placed in ground occupied the
previous season by beans for best re-
suits. A gardener should study his
garden plan each year with an eye to
moving the peas and beans across the
garden, so that they will not occupy
the same space in succeeding years.
OF course, heavy fertilizing partly
makes up for the exhausting of the
soil, but it cannot wholly do so. These
two vegetables take more out of the
soil than the others and 1t is more
necessary to see that they rotate.
