At the J. A. Gaskill farm near

with different rates of application.
Super-phosphate has been up

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

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

few cows when the land needed for
one cow will produce 100 fruit trees
which would net at least 10 times

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.

year but the prospects are very
good at this time, however the buds
are swelling bo rapidly that a
