new ORCHARD
IN 0KAN0GAN
Great Activity in New Planting
During the Coming
Year.

One thousand acres of new orchard
will be planted in the West Okanogan
Valley Irrigation district this spring,
according to figures compiled this
week by representatives of nursery
concerns that have been selling trees
in this district. Most of this area
will be planted to the standard com
number of acres will be planted to
nuts and soft fruits.
This new planting will practically
double the present orchard acreage in
the district, leaving the balance OF
the 5000 cultivated acreage, or 5000
acres, in alfalfa, corn and other crops.
The principal orchard development
heretofore has been around Oroville
and at Ellisforde, between Oroville
and Tonasket.
Many New Paintings.
Among those who will plant their
holdings to fruit around OrOville this
year are ID. F. Odds, ten acres; c. M.
Zediker, 20 acres; A. w. Johnston, 26
acres; Geo. Riste, 10 acres; DR.. e. M.
Bevis, 20 acres; Mrs. George Bartell,
5 acres; George Bartell, acres; Os-
car Peterson. 6 acres; Voyles, 5 acres,
and Frantz, acres.
This means that 1922 will see the
biggest farm development in the val
ley that has taken place since the irri-
cation system was completed. Expe.
rience here has demonstrated SO CON-
pletely that this is choice apple and
fruit producing section and also that
the growing forchards offer the best
guarantee of success under the irriga-
ton system that continued conversion
of the lands of the valley into orchard
can be counted as a certain develop
ment Several years must elapse be-
fore the trees planted this year begin
to yield returns on the investment in
volved, but each year will add to the
yield of orchards previously planted,
so that there is not going to be Pc
riod of waiting and stagnation. Be.
sides more of the land owners, who
are CROWN gforage crops exclusively
are planning to add hog raising, poul-
try and dairy cattle to their activities.

Farm News

Wire worms have been source of
great loss to the potato growers on
the reservation this year and they are
casting about for some means of con-
troll. says a Yakima report. \ method
whereby the worms are electrocuted
has been worked out, but this means
of killing them is under suspicion
since it is not known but what the
soil bacteria are killed at the same
time and possibly other undesirable
effects upon the soil might result
Another means which consists of
the use of a chemical drilled into the
ground which, it is claimed, kills the
worms but leaves the plants and soil
unaffected, is considered by Reuben
Benz of Toppenish as being safer
method to use. He is planning to ap-
ply the chemical on some potato
ground the coming season. He will
drill it into the ground very shallow
or half an inch or an inch deep. 1t
is claimed that this kills the worms
and the chemical used is not injurious
to plant growth.
