Vienna, Mo., “I used to be
sick most of tl:3 time and
suffered with backache and
headache. My Mother, who
had been greatly helped by
the use of Cardui, got me
two bottles, and I have
been well ever since.”
A report from Seattle, Wash., says:
Probably never before in the North
west has there been as great activity
among apple buyers as at present.
Representatives of many big eastern
houses have been on the coast looking
over the situation and if not placing
orders themselves they are at least
trying to find out what their competi
tors are doing in Washington and
Oregon.
The largest sale thus far reported
is that of the Hood river crop in Ore
gon, which comprises about 90 per
cent of the total output in that fam
ous fruit growing valley, and the pack
of the Wenatchee Fruit Growers’ As
sociation in Washington.
The sale of the Hood river crop to
Steinhardt & Kelly, of New York, re
duces the field of operations materi
ally and interest now centers in this
state. The Hood river deal involved
about 125 cars of apples of all varie
ties. One hundred cars will be high
grade ' stock, principally Spitzenbergs
and Yellow Newtons: The deal for
the hundred cars of high grade fruit
was made on a commission basis; that
is the association will receive $2.25
per x box f. o! b. Hood river, and then,
in addition, reserves for itself what
ever greater amount less charges and
commission is realized when the ap
ples are .sold in New York or else
where. The deal on the rest of the
apples aggregating 25 cars was made
on the same basis, although the init
ial price was not nearly so large, be
ing approximately $1.75.
The bids of the Wenatchee Produce
Co. and the Gibson Fruit Co., of Chi
cago, for the apples of the Wenatchee
Fruit Growers’ Association pool were
accepted. The following prices, per
must be suitable,
be right, and the preparation of the
soil must be the very best, and, last
but not least, the proper kind of fer
tilizer must be used.
In choosing a location, one should
try to have an eastern or southeastern
exposure so as to get the benefit of
the morning sun, and an eastern ex
posure is always the first to warm up
in the spring. There is often a dif
ference of two weeks in time of ripen
ing of small fruits on an eastern or
southeastern exposure and on’ a west
ern one.
The soil shoulcTbe of a sandy loam
with a clay subsoil, not very deep.
The preparation should be thorough.
Deep plowing and pulverization of the
soil afterwards must be attended to
if the crop is to be a success, and
a week or two before plants or cut
tings are set out, about one thousand
pounds per acre of fertilizer applied
broadcast and worked’ into the soil.
The fertilizer must analyze high in
the elements that' are necessary to
give us a good fruit crop. The near
est we can come to it in a general way
is to have not less than 4 per cent ni
trogen', 6 per cent phosphoric acid and
at least 10 .per cent potash. The
source of the potash must be sulphate

The fall of the year is the best time
to set out small fruits of any kind.
Blackberries are -an exceptionally
profitable crop and grow wild all
throughout the Southern States, and
by taking young canes of these wild
bushes and setting them out in rows
four feet apart and two feet in the
row, any time in October or Novem
ber, a good crop can be had next
spring; but it pays to send to a good
nursery and get improved stock which
will give larger berries than the wild 1
kind, although not of as good flavor.

eties: Spitzenbergs, $2.50; Winesaps,
$2.25; Black Bens, $1.75; Jonathans,
$1.75, . and Missouri Pippins, $1.50.
These were the tenders made by the
Gibson Fruit Co. The Wenatchee
Produce Co. bought the Delicious at
$3; Arkansas Blacks at $2.10; Stay-
men Winesaps at $1.65; Ben Davis at
$1.40, and all other choice grades at
$1.10.
The board of directors at first con
sidered the price offered for the
Winesaps too low at $2.25, but it was
finally decided to let the fruit go at
that figure rather than hold and call
for other bids.
There were about 75 cars in the
pool, or about 66,000 boxes.

pruned very severely every winter to
bear well. We can use the native for
this purpose, but it pays to get im
proved stock if we are going into the
business on an extensive scale.
The huckleberry is another excel
lent small fruit and should be more in
evidence on the market than it is. It
should also be planted in the fall
months and shallow cultivation given
it during the next season.
Fall is the best time with us to
plant strawberries. They should be
planted before a rain, if possible.
Furrows should be run out three feet
apart and four inches deep and plants
dropped every fifteen inches or so in
the furrow and covered with a hoe,
and in a day or two come back and
level up this furrow so as to make
land level.
It often happens that these small
fruits overbear and the vines or
plants show symptoms of unthrifti
ness. In that case, a ton dressing of
sulphate of potash broadcast among
the vines or plants and worked in
with a rake will work wonders. At
least one hundred pounds per acre will
be required for this purpose.
The length of the bearing season
can be extended by top dressing with
sulphate of potash about midway in
the season providing" the vines are
otherwise in a thrifty condition, be
cause potash is the fruit maker and
enough of it will insure us a better
crop than we would have without it.

1. Painting with white lead and

BORERS IN MAPLE TREES.
I write for information about an in
sect that has just attacked some Nor
way maples belonging to me by boring
holes in the trunks and large limbs,
the holes being clean cut about the
size, in circumference, of a darning
or steel crochet needle. I have been
unable to see the insect that is causing
the mischief. My attention was first
called to the matter by the drooping
ence of white spots on the trunks and
limbs where the boring occurred.
W. D. S.
Answered by H. A. Surface:
Replying to your letter, I cannot say
with certainty what the pest is that is
infesting your Norway maple tree with
out seeing it. However, it is evidently
a borer, and perhaps a bark borer or
engraver beetle.\ If it be this, it shows
that the tree is declining, and this
borer practically attacks only declin
ing or injured trees. I would advise
digging about the trees, mulching
them, or pruning off dead and dying
branches, and watering well with
water containing a teaspoonful of ni
trate of soda to each gallon of water.
If the borers be large enough that
you can find their holes and insert the
tip of a small machine oil can into
them, you can easily kill the pests by
injecting a little carbon bisulfide into
each hole, and then stopping this with
clay or mud. For this particular tree,
I would recommend pruning, watering,
cultivating and trying every means
possible to stimulate it to vigorous
growth, in order that you can make
it outgrow the effects of the pests you
mention. If you will send me some
for examination I < shall be glad to re
ply promptly concerning the same.
