BRIDGE.GRAFTING SAVES
GIRDLED TREES

Fruit trees which have been girdled
by mice may be saved by bridge graft
ing during the month Of April, sug-
gests e. G. Wood, extension horticul-
tural specialist Of the State College.
Trees which have had the bark burst
open and loosened on one side by the
winter weather, may also be saved
by removing the bark and bridging
over the scar.
Bridge-grafting is simple and may
be done successfully by anyone after
a little practice. First the earth around
the tree is removed with the shovel to
a depth Of few inches below the
lower margin of the girdled area
Then both the upper and lower mar
ings are smoothed off by cutting away
the bark back to where it Is alive and
healthy.
Scions consisting of the previous
years terminal growths, or water
sprouts that are well matured. are
used to bridge across the girdled area
The scions may be cut and used i'm
mediately up until the buds on them
are well swollen If grating is to be
done later than that time the scions
must be kept dormant by storing them
in moist sand or sawdust where It is
cool enough to prevent them from
starting.
The scions are prepared by cutting
them a little longer than the girdled
area to be bridged and then cutting
both ends with long straight sloping
cut using a thin sharp blade with a
straight edge. Care must be taken to
have the sloping faces of the two ends
parallel so when placed in position
the sloping surfaces will be flat
against the wood of the tree beneath
the margins of the bark. To accom-
,plish this the scion is left little Ion
ger than the space to be bridged SC
that it will arch out at the center a
distance of half an inch from the trunk
of the tree. To allow the sloping ends
Of the scion to be inserted under the
margins of the bark, vertical incision
is made extending back about three
quarters Of an inch from the edge OF
the bark. This allows the bark to raise
IS the scion is showed under meath
Both ends of the scion are secured by
a half inch wire brad. Then the ends
are covered with grating wax to ex.
clude the air until the scions have
united to the trunk
Usually the lower end of the scior
is prepared, inserted and secured with
the brad and then the upper end

PuYALLuP BERRY
KING IN VALLEY
Ray SulkOsky May Locate Here and
Engage In Culture Of Vine and
Cane Fruits.

Ray Sulkosky of the Puyallup val.
ley, one Of the expert strawberry ant
cane fruit growers Of that famous val.
ley, is visiting his friend and neighbol
n. j. Emory, of the Okanogan Valley
Growers Cooperative Association. Mr.
Sulkosky made the trip to the Orc.
vile district in response to a request
of Mr.. Emory to give the valley the
once over and to get his opinion or
the matter of growing both raspber-
ries and Strawberries here in the val.
ley as commercial crop.
1t is expected that some arrange
ment will be made TO get Mr.. Sulkosky
interested in the Oroville district and
have him put out and take care oil
several acres of both of these varie-
ties of fruits and give some assist
ance to others not acquainted with
the strawberry business.
Mr.. Sulkosky would If he undertakes
to do this work, figure on at least
twelve acres. His plan would be to
have three three-acre tracts devoted
to Strawberries, three acres in bear
ing, another three acre tract Of young
plants coming on and three acres OF
alfalfa to be plowed under to reset
the first patch when cropping the sec
ond setting. This would give him new
alfalfa ground every third year to re-
plant to strawberries.
These expert strawberry growers
of the Puyallup valley never reset
strawberry plants on the same land
without giving the ground four year
rest and building up the soil.
If this work is undertaken along
these lines, and probably 1t will be,
Mr.. Sulkosky would be in position
to bring large number OF his friends
who are expert berry growers here
in the next year or two.
The early market here appeals to
him and it is fortunate that this same
gentleman and his acquaintances for
merly lived in the strawberry and to-
mato district near Baltimore, Md,
and for years before coming to the
coast grew these crops and operated
tomato canning plants for several
years.
Mr.. Sulkosky and friends are OF
Polish extraction, hard workers and
great people to get the maximum
amount Of farm produce off Of the
land, and they would be the greatest
factor in putting this district on the
map both as berry growing section
and tomato canning center.

Initial Steps in Forming
W.-O. V. |. District Recalled

perhaps take out a second ditch for
themselves.
The result was that two separate
temporary organizations were formed
and put in action. Then came the per-
iod of getting these two bodies work
ing smoothly under one head. Look
ing back upon it now, it is rather
strange to view the trials of this del
icate operation in reconciling the
pride and jealousy on both sides OF
the river and make all believe they
would secure their share of water at
IN absolutely equal expense.
With enough land pledged for pre-
liminary expenses, steps were taken to
put surveyors in the field and push
the legal organization rapidly. The
tirst district lines were run by Wilbur
Hoskyn and J. w. Gilmore. Harry
10wling did the office drafting. Here
again, was a most worthy citizen qui-
city at work behind the scenes who
never received any credit for the work
done and absolutely not penny in
cash. This man was Engineer George
J. Gardiner. AS secretary of both of
he first organizations. it fell to my lot
% supervise this early work and being
very ignorant Of engineering and irri-
CATION practices, Mr.. Gardiner be-
came my father confessor on all such
matters and it was really his guiding
hand, thru me as simple agent, that
the early steps of formation were
properly and economically taken.
1t has been great pleasure to me
TO have seen the wonderful transfor-
nation Of your valley under water, to
note the success of the early calcula-
tons as to both land and supernatural
ance Of water, and the careful and eff
ficient way in which your project has
been differed and managed. You
were fortunate in having secured COM
petent men for your permanent or
ganization and your land owners have
shown rare good sense in retaining
them in office. From a nine years
residence in an older neighboring ir-
rigation project there is no hesitancy
on my part in stating that you can
safely bank on your local watering
system and be justly proud of It in
every respect.

ONE WHO TOOK ACTIVE PART IN
PRELIMINARY ORGANIZATION
THAT PUT OVER THE PROJECT
TELLS OF EARLY EFFORTS.
(By Frank A. DeVos.)

While 1t was concerted effort on the
part OF number OF old time Orovilie
live wires that really started the pres
ent West Okanogan Irrigation District
the actual credit for uncovering the
method for doing this must be given
to l.. +. Pourtales.
lnnumerable gatherings had been
held. various plans Of financing pro-
posed and discarded and the last
straw that seemed to break for all
time the chance of placing water upon
the valley was the turning down of the
representative of a group OF Chicago
capitalists who wished to put the pro-
ject in on basis of deed to half the
land. the owner securing water for the
remaining half.
All OF these early meetings, and con-
ferences with engineers, had proved
the feasibility Of the project and the
unlimited quantity Of water at hand
These facts so impressed themselves
upon Mr.. Pourtales that he began
searching for new ways. Weeks of
search finally took him to the law Ii
brary of Chas. f. Sigrist. Some one
had dropped the hint, or l believe he
told me he saw by some paper that
there was what is known as a state
irrigation district in remote part of
Washington. 1t took but a short
search to locate an old irrigation dis
trict law This was not all that il
should be but it gave hope of start
in lawful, businesslike manner.
A meeting of the west side land
owners was held in the old Sigrist
hall. the matter talked over, thought
feasible and the decision made to
make try to sign up enough acres
to place water on the lands along the
west side of the river IT, memory
serves me correctly, the east side land
owners became interested and called
their first meeting before the west
siders had their second gathering and
asked to be taken in on the deal or

today's session were setbaclts in wheat
prices more than of an ordinary profit

here showed more strength than the
July and was particularly affected by
