DliNTAL COMPANY ORCHARD PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED Many problems of vital Interest to orchardlbts were discussed at the ap ple growers' convention held last week in connection with the National Apple Show at Spokane, which was attended by several local horticultur ists. Prof. It. Edward Trumble, of Wen atchee, discussed spraying for cod ling moth. He said that his remarks were chiefly based on experience in the Wenatchee valley. After several years' persistent spraying the Wen atchee growers ,he said, had practi cally banished the codling moth from the valley, there not being more than one per cent of wormy apples. Every year had been an Improvement. Two years ago 80 per cent were wormy. This year no one had claimed a re ward of one dollar for each wormy ap ple. Pointers on Spraying In spraying, he declared, care must be taken to fill the calix cups. In some seasons the first spraying can be done at the same time. In other seasons different varieties blossom at different periods and should be sepa rately treated, and two or three spray ings will be necessary. Discussing the various forms of arsenic spray Professor Trumble was on the whole In favor of arsenic lead spray as opposed to arsentte, thougn the latter was good In certain cases. For one thing arsenite did not stick to the apples so well as arsenic lead. Arsenite was, however, useful in deal ing with other large worms, cut woims and the larger caterpillars. How much spraying should be done was Impossible to say as localitie varied so largely. If 80 per cent was killed on a ten-acre tract 1,500,000 might result from the first brood of worms. Even one worm might multi ply so greatly as to seriously injure an orchard. In some valleys there were no worms and their increase de pended largely on climatic conditions. Asked as to whether the law did not forbid spraying trees while in flower on account of injury done to bees and other beneficent insects, Professor Trumble said that although there was such a law in many states there was no such law in Washing ton. In the Wenatchee valley they kept the bees confined during the flowering period. Aavites Two-Year-Oldi Professor Trumble, speaking from the experience of supervising hun dreds of thousands of trees, advocated the planting of two-year-old trees. C. J. Lewis, a large grower of Ore gon, was In entire disagreement, say ing his experience was that two-year-old trees grown In nurseries were de formed, and that much better results were to be obtained from one-year "whips." He was proud of his orch ards raised from one-year trees, and would be ashamed to show' his orch ards raised from two-year trees, he said. Professor Crane of the Hamilton Fruit Association of Montana ,and Charles A. Cole, horticulturist, of Lew lBton, Idaho, spoke on the harvest ing of apples. Professor Cole warn ed growers not to let their pickers overfil their baskets, as some would in that case fall and get bruised. He also said that the drawback to canvas-bottomed baskets was that the pickers might put them on the ground where the apples would get grubby or get bruised. Prof. C. I. Lewis of the department of horticulture at the Oregon Agricul tural College, followed Mr. Morris with a short address on "Preparation and Planting." "Don't overcrowd," he said. "While an overcrowded orchard might yield a greater number of apples at the start, the quality of the fruit would be so Impaired as to render its sale at anything like a profitable figure Impossible. From experience I have found that the 'five-tree system' of planting is best. In this system a tree Is planted In the center formed by four trees In the regular rectangular system." Too Many Varieties F. A. Huntley of the state horticul tural commission at Tacoma gave a Bhort talk on the subject, "Choice of Varieties." "There are too many varieties of apples being raised in the state of Washington," he said. "We have over 50 varieties of commercial winter ap ples, and we should not have over 10 varieties. This condition is caused by new growers planting the variety of apple which1 grew best for them In other parts of the contry, without taking into consideration the fact that the growing conditions are totally different." HOOD RIVER P. 0. DOES BIGBUSINESS In citing the postoflice vacancies which Senators Chamberlain and Lane will fill, a Washington correspondent gives figures which show that only six other postoffices in the state pay their postmasters larger salaries than Hood River, the salaries being based upon the amount of business passing through the office. Portland pays $6000, Medford 12800, Salem $3200, Eugene $2900, Baker and Astoria $2700 and Hood River $2600. Albany, although a much larger ity, pays the same as Hood River. So also does Pendleton. Ashland pays $2500 and Corvallis, Grants Pass, Ore gon City, LaGrande and Roseburg pay $2500. The Dalles pays $2600, the same as Hood River. As Postmaster Lucas was appointed for a four-year term, his tenure of of fice does not expire until 1915. GOOD PROGRAM FOR HORTICULTURISTS President A. P.
