Summer Pruning Does Not
Prevent Winter Injury

Fruit buds on the peach tree are
usually injured or killed during the
winter if exposed to temperatures Of
16 to 20 degrees below zero. However,
pruning does not seem to be helpful
in avoiding this injury nor has any
process OF summer pruning enabled the
tree to build up resistance against low
winter temperatures.
When such injury is known to have
occurred, it is often advisable to delay
winter pruning until spring and then
do only a very light pruning, advises
O. M. Morris professor of horticulture
at Washington State college. If the
crop is entirely killed it may be gooc
time to head back tall trees very Sc
verely.
Wounds on peach trees should bt
protected from woodworking fungi BY
being covered with some kind OF pain
or wax. Common grating wax may
be used melted and applied with
brush. Lead paints or coal tar paints
may be used with good results, bu
care must be exercised not to spreat
these paints over any more than TIT
actual cut surface exposed IN TN
pruning wound.

Now Is Time Of Year
To Plant Windbreaks

A planting of trees for a Windbreak
or shelterbelt is of real value to the
farms of eastern Washington, says G.
Svendby, assistant in the department
of forestry and range management at
Washington State college.
AS the prevailing winds in eastern
Washington are from the south and
west, the trees should be planted on
these sides of the area or building to
be protected.
For best results, the shelter belt
should be IS to 100 feet from the near
est building. The trees should be
planted in rows 10 feet apart ano
spaced feet apart in a row. A single
row of trees will give protection, but
four or five rows of trees will form
more satisfactory windbreak
The best varieties of trees recon-
mended for shelter belts are the Car
agana, Russian Olive, Black Locust
Yellow Pine, Douglas Fir, and NorWa.
Spruce.
It is advisable to have a row of SOM
bushy trees on the windward side
the shelter belt. This diverts the al
currents upward and at the same tim
prepents the wind from blowing unde
the other trees which usually los
their lower limbs after few years
The Caragana is such a tree, havln
bushy, shrub-like appearance.
Though windbreaks can be set GU
at different times of the year, tn
spring season is usually preferred. Tn
trees should be pruned only enoug
to develop strong main trunk, an
cultivation is essential during the frs
few years of growth.

Income Tax Hits
Earning of $500

Prospective taxpayers who must file
returns with the state tax commission
under the new state income tax law
have been divided into three classes,
according to Alfred Harsch, counselor
for the state income tax division.
There has been considerable confu-
sion over the question of who must
file returns under the new law, Harsch
said
The three classes of citizens who
must file returns on or before March
Is are:
All persons who receive income tax
blanks from the tax commission, re-
CARELESS of the amount of income re-
ceived by them during 1882.
Any persons who had net income
during 1882 of $500 or more If single
and $175O or more if married
Any person who had a gross IN
come, regardless of his net income, o.
$4,000 or more.
Those in the latter two classlt1ca'
lions, if they fail to receive blanks
from the commission, must procure
blanks themselves and file their re-
turns.

February Cold Spell
Damages Soft Fruit

The unusually low temperatures in
February took heavy toll of the 1893
peach crop, according to growers who
have tested out the buds. The damage
apparently was general over the state
and all varieties of soft fruit were at
fected, although not to the extent that
peaches suffered.
Some growers report that they have
been unable to find live peach buc
while others say they have found
few but all agree that the crop ha!
been hard hit.
Cherries and cots seem to have
come through the cold weather mucf
better, and while the tonnage has un
doubtedly been cut some, the indica
tions now are that there will be
fair crop, barring of course, damag
by spring frosts.

Lambs Thrive On
Succulent Feeds

The addition of succulent feed TO
a ration of hay and grain increased
the rapidity and the cheapness OF the
gains made by lambs in feeding ex-
pertinent conducted at the Irrigation
branch station, at Prosser. Squash,
carrots and rutabagas were used in a
recent experiment.
One lot of lambs received Yakima
blue squash at the rate OF pounds per
head each day along with ] pound OF
grain and 1-3 pounds OF hay me
lambs ate the squash and made gains
of 26 pounds during the 81 days OF the
experiment. states Howard Hackedorn,
head Of the Washington State college
division of animal husbandry.
The squash was chopped to break
the rine so the lambs would eat IT.
Difficulty was experienced in trying to
store this type of succulent food. Or
binary storage pits did not prove sat
| isfactory.
Another group of lambs was fed the
same grain and hay ration but received
2 pounds of carrots. This lot made
practically the same gains as the lambs
fed squash and those fed the POUNDS
| of potatoes. The feed required PEI
hundred pounds of gain was about I'M
same. Carrots proved to be salts
factory feed when fed at the same
rate of pounds per head each day, II
addition to hay and grain.
| A third group of lambs was fe'
rutabagas in ration Of 2 pounds 0
rutabagas, / 1-3 pounds of alfalfa ha
and pound of grain. This group al
not gain more than the lambs receiv
ing the carrots, squash or Gull potatoes
says Mr.. Hackedorn.
According to this years feedln
trials, the addition of succulent fee
to ration of hay and grain increase
, the rapidity and the cheapness OF tn
gains.

The Dead Too

IF NEW MEASURE IS EN-
ACTED INTO LAW
BY Jimmie X. Browne

One week remains of the twenty |
third session of the Legislature.
For SO days the SO House ana 40
Senate members representing every
section of the state, have been seeking
to work out some of the major prob
lens.
It was new Legislature-neW IN
politics; new in members; new IN par
liamentary procedure; new in law
making.
The session started with the avoWed
purpose of reducing the costs OF gov
eminent: of saving to the state the
highway system; of bringing forth leg
islation to benefit business and IN
dustry, banks and financial institu-
lions, and to create new feeling OF
optimism and confidence.
Government costs have been reduced
in slashings OF payrQlls of employees.
No effort has been put forth to force
down costs of the schools which Will
continue on the same generous plane
as during boom times.
Taxes are reduced only in one in
stance, the abolition of the county
road and bridge funds savings IN
the state of around 100000.
Taxes are being shifted.
The 4O-nill limitation has failed, IT
the actions of the Legislature are to
be the Judge The voters sought to
reduce costs Of government in all
things
The Legislators, instead OF applying
themselves to this problem, devoted
virtually all of their time to a Shift
ing of new ways and new things to
tax
Payroll builders and employers, ano
through them the men and women
employed in industry Ore hit hardest
and in some instances by those who
had been counted upon as friends.
Employers asked for the right to be
allowed to work out the solution OF
their problems In their own way. The
right to seek industrial insurance where
and how desired, was asked for. Spon'
sors of legislation to increase take
were too inconsistent In one breath
they cried out against the existing
economical COllQAGAOllo, P1Cc0ALi6 AVA oAA
right Ito work and not take doles.
In the next they walled protests agins
industry and payroll developers whel
they laid their problems before leg1s
lators and explained payrolls could mo
bear an additional burden.
In the wild scramble for things t
tax, even the dead have not been over
looked. The Senate demanded tina
places where those who have passe
away are buried be taxed, and so vote
on a bill Then the Senate asks ths
life insurance payments be taxed an
the survivors, or beneflciaries, pay tn
state tax upon the policies receive
This bill is still pending. 1t come
from the new director of inheritant
tax.
The Legislature has jumped to tt
rescue of the Seattle Light Plant, ar
the rest of the state, Snohomis
Skagit, Whatcom, Island, and possib
Kitsap counties will be called upon

"A
Of former-day living as cure tor the
depression is advocated by L. N. Fry
who says:
At the present cost of education 1t
seems there should be plenty OF people
(if cost has anything to do with the
value of education) who are smart
enough to solve the so-called depres-
sion. But instead of cure everybody
has a suggestion for relief yet the pa
tient does not improve.
There was time and there are
many people who can remember II,
when hogs sold for 21a cents per TO-,
alive; cattle the same, while eggs sold
for S cents per dozen, butter 10 cents
a pound and hardly any sale for cream
at all. Calico sold for cents yard,
muslin for 31@ cents, and SO on down
the line.
You could buy load of hickory OF
oak wood for ST delivered. The pro-
Queer would cut it one day and bring
it to town the next, thereby spending
two DAYS to earn the $1.00. Sorghum
molasses sold for Is cents per gallon
corn meal for half cent a pound and
YOU could get ton of timothy hay de-
livered in your barn for $500.
You did not hear so much about the
hard times and depression then as you
do now. Why? Because we are living
too fast now. Why not slow down a
little? You seldom heard of the fore
closure of a farm mortgage then and
the interest rate was higher than 1t
is now. This, of course, all took place
in the middle west where great many
of us came from.
There was no water cost there, which
is about the only difference in the
cost of producing crop here We did
) not raise alfalfa there but we did raise
timothy and only one crop per season
of that. Here we raise four crops OF
, alfalfa and in each crop there is more
feeding value than in the single CROP
of timothy. The average price for LAND
was $25 to $50 per acre
=. A very successful farmer back there
said one time, young man, If yol
y are going to buy farm on time bu!
. 80 acres for you can pay for 80 acre
sooner than you can 40 acres" and
+ proved out many times. Nearly every
So body was making little money in thos
n times and the larger the farm tn
more they made.
10 Here's a plan that will work GU

present prices received for produce:
We will take 20 acres for example
:" for that is the most common and tn
most practical to demonstrate.
10 acres seeded to alfalfa;
5 acres seeded to pasture;
&c S acres seeded to roots, truck ant
10 corn.
The 10 acres will produce at leas
tons per acre per year for year
u if properly handled Cut the corn Whe
ready and feed about 20 pounds dali
\ to each COW. Cut the corn as needle
KS and keep it green. This is to be fe
re along with the pasture. In the ia
E. when the pasture is going or failinl
then begin to feed your root crop wit
the alfalfa. In this program OF teeo
ing, 10 COWS will consume about
tons of hay per year. The pasture WI

not so much alfalfa is needed. Sa,
