of tho most Interesting us well as
worth-while and practical. series of
experiment which have beeen con

At the J. A. Gaskill farm near
Imbler. nitrate of soda, ammonium
sulphate and super-phosphate have

on both spring and fall grain and
with different rates of application.
Super-phosphate has been up
piled ' ut tho Krank McKcnnou
furm in the same neighborhood,
Tho nitrates Imve been' put In
use on the Parsons farm near Elgin.
On both the Bernal Hug and the
Glenn Hug farms near the (,'ricket
Klat school test plots huve been ar
ranged using the nitrates, and this
substance will also be tried out ut
Grover Grimmett's in Mt. Glen.
Down urouud North Powder sev

were made, and this was also done
at H. O. Wheeler's near Union.
A series it fertiliser demonstra

A pruning demonstration wus

Dairy Industry
Threatens Cove
Yield Of Fruit
(By Sim. 4. It. Price)
"The dairy industry In Cove,
especially on small hfllsldo farms,
threatens to ruin Cove,') Is the
statement made by K. J. Stacklund,
well known fruit grower and ship
per of Cove, "Kanners neur Covo

ing to replant orchards to raise a
few cows when the land needed for
one cow will produce 100 fruit trees
which would net at least 10 times
the amount produced by one cow,
and with the assured tariff In.,

which will exclude most of the 19

other purts of Kurope, prices for
Hoy ul Anns on tho Pacific coast

next 16 or 20 years as It will take
that long for new norohards to pro
ducu enough fruit to make any ap
preciable difference In the muuii
tlty grown here,4 said Mr. Htack-land.
When asked ubout the prospects
for fruit at this time, he wild, "Tho around Cove.
fruit Is a little later than usual this
year but the prospects are very
good at this time, however the buds
are swelling bo rapidly that a
