HOLLY ORCHARD NEAR
KIRKLAND Is ONE OF
STATES INDUSTRIES

Blasting life into holly berries Is q
far cry to Christmas wreaths, but this
very thing takes place at the great
holly orchard near Kirkland, Wash
ington, owned by Edward P. TremDer
Of Seattle. Few people in the Pacific
Northwest realize that such an indus
try as a holly orchard exists Holly
trees usually are associated with a
few individual specimens in nurseries
or formal gardens. But at Kirkland
the only orchard in the United States
consisting entirely of holly trees Is
maintained.
In that orchard more than 1000
holly trees are growing. But although
Western Washington soil and climate
are almost ideal for the growing Of
holly trees, Mr.. Tremper found in 1921
that some Of his trees were not max.
ing the growth they should. Some Of
the trees had begun to show scraggy
tops and others had stopped growing.
Beside these sickly specimens were
strong, sturdy trees.
To discover II possible the reason
for this condition and to provide a
remedy, Mr.. Tremper called in an ex-
plosive expert--a man who had made
a speciality Of ree-doctorlng-Geor
e. Whitman, who for the last "a years
has been in the employ Of the e. l. du
Pont de Nemours & Co. as an expert
in the use of explosives for all pur-
poses
Mr. Whitman looked over the holly
orchard and prescribed blasting to re-
vive the dying trees. His method was
to send down two-inch driving bar
to a depth of three and half feet,
four feet distant from the trunk OF
the tree to be treated. What Is known
as 20 per cent blasting powder was
used in these holes.
Two charges, one on each side OF
the tree, were used. Very little change
was noted in the trees appearance
the first year, Mr.. Tremper said, but
during the second year and since an
all round healthier appearance has
been marked. Today Mr.. Tremper
says the sickly trees cannot be told
from those that have been sturdy at
all times. He explains that the blast.
ing loosened the under soil 80 that
the roots Of the trees coud get down
into the moisture and obtain nourish
ment
The trees were literally blasted into
health, said Mr.. Tremper, and today
are strong, healthy hollies, making re
markable growth.

Wallie's thoughts were bitter as he
remembered the many injuries he had
suffered at Canby's hands. 1t was a
subject upon which he dared not trust
himself to talk-it stirred him too
much, although he had long ago de-
cided that since he was powerless to
retaliate there was nothing to do but
take his medicine. AS he made no re-

frightened the cinch:

give you any price you asked, to quit. "
"I'd ask plenty" Wallie replied,
grimly, but it's no use to talk"
"Why don't you marry some rich
widow and get us stalker"
"Aw-w!" Resentment and disgust
were in Pinkey's voice. I'D steal

That Washington bootleggers

vealed in Police Court today
when John j. Sheahan, seventy,
a resident at the home, told
Judge Mcmahon that. he was
guilty of intoxication as charged
and that although it was not
habitual, he had seen bootleg
gers make sales at the home
on pension day.
He said that the stuff sold
now could not compare with
that of other days and that it
was a crime to have to pay
the outrageous prices. He add
ed that although whiskey is not

gers make great inroads on the
