ESTABLISHING AN ORCHARD
Some Valuable Suggestions For Times Readers From
An Expert In Oregon Horticulture,
By Claude I. Lewis, Professor of Hor
ticulture, Oregon Agricultural .
College.
lti FRANCISCO OK PORTLAND.
When tho present management
chargo of Tho Times it was un-
o impression from what It had
that Portland and tho Orcgon-
iho great dnlly of Oregon, were
io respects Jealous of Coos Bay
inimical to Its progress. From a
ior study of the conditions, this
prcsslou has boon entirely changed
it Is now tho llrm conviction of
'ho Times that tho Iloso City and
lio Oregonlnn, not only have every
icuntlvo to push development In this
illrectlon but that Portland's mer
chants uro all earnestly anxious to
!o to.
Tho truth Is that Coos Bay hns a
location which both San Francisco
and Portland must feel interested In
and 4lilch thoso cities and their
iiuiTlutaLs miiat look upon ns de-
liatnblo ground. Until tho unfortu
nnto deatruction of tho Golden Gnto
City by llie in ll)0G, that city was
in practical control of tho btislnebs
wf Coob Bay. SInco 190G tho biibl
jicss has gone, to a considerable ex
tent, to Portland and now San
Francisco and Portland houses arc
competing for tho business. Tho lo
cation of Coos Bay and tho fact that
she is cquii-distnnt from these two
.great cities, thus niaktug her a com
muting point, suggests that sho will
iboeonie before many years, an Inde
pendent Jobbing point and that, In
the mean time, sho will help to add
jnuteiin'ly to olthcr tho wealth and
jriiMiwiy of Portland or San Frnn-
elsco or both, In proportion to tho
interest displayed In her develop
ment. At present San Francisco
probably Is In tho lead for Coos Bay
UniHluosn and her commercial hoiiboa
siro well represented horo from time
Bo Umo. San Franclbco capital Is in-
'vostod horo nlbo to a greater oxtont
than is Portland capital. But tho
Jnlliionrr- of Portland activity Is bolng
miutu and more felt and thoro are

A new argument in favor of news
paper advertising comes from De3
Moines by way of Waverly, Iowa. Tho
editor of tho Waverly "Democrat," a
weekly paper with no special Interest
in the fortunes of Its dally neighbors,
reports an Illuminating conversation
with a Des Moines merchant, who
said, speaking of his advertisements:
"They bring customers to our store,
and they keep down our clerks' hire
fully one-half; for the ads make It
possible for one clerk to do the work
of two. They prlmo tho customer
with the Information that they other
wise would havo to get from the clerk
at the expense of his time. Having
read our announcement, In four cases
out of five, a customer comes Into our
storo knowing Just what ho wants
and Just what ho will have to pay,
and nil tho clerk has to do Is to pro-
duco tho goods, and get the money
for them. In a store that advertises
properly there are very few people
who come In 'Just to look around,'
and n3 n consequence business moves
early and briskly." Tho merchant
wont on to say that several years ago
when one of his partners thought
that advertising blll3 were too high,
tho firm dropped Its Saturday ad
Just to seo what would happen.
Thoro was the usual rush Monday,
and tho partner who wanted to cut
down advertising smiled triumph
antly. But ho laughs best who
laughs last. The man who tells the
story says that when night time
camo everybody In the storo was
worn out. Heads of department!)
said they must havo moro help. Yet
tho sales wero tho lightest of any
Monday for a year. An unusual
number of bujors did not know ex
actly what they wanted, and the
clerk's tlmo hnd been consumed In
helping, thorn make conclusions. On
all other Mondays tholr conclusions
had been mado In advance, by read
ing tho ads. No doubt merchants
In other towns could have similar
testimony. A forco In business that
Increases sales and keeps down ex
penses Is too Important to bo Ignored.

United Stntes has boon nearly as

tho heaviest oar since 1SSS. Tho
total number of miles of now trnck

4!21i miles wore In Louisiana, 3 11 in
Florida, 3S5 In South Dakota, 314 In
Texas and 311 In Washington. In
Canada during tho samo tlmo 723
miles woro built and 3t9 In Mexico.
Tho greater part of tho now track

The large proflls realized from our
orchards tho past few years have
given a great impetus to fruit grow
ing, and as a result many people are
setting out orchards. To a large
number of these persons fruit grow
ing is a new occupation and they are
seeking Information to aid them in
establishing their orchards.
As regards the time to set the
trees, from October to February ,r
March is generally preferable where
climate conditions are such as to al
low ono to carry on the work. Trees
set at this time become well estab
lished In early spring and are ready
to begin growth In April. In Irrigated
sections, or nt high elevations, where
there is danger of fall freezing, plant
Ing can be delayed until spring.
The kind of soil is a question of
importance; and in speaking of soils
wo consider both the physical and
the chemical. The physical is, per
haps, the moro Important in that Its
conditions are hard to change, while
often in the chemical we can supply
lacking plant foods. Often the grow
er expects the chemist to analyze a
small sample of his soil and tell htm
what It needs. The chemist can tell
If certain elements are deficient, but
he cannot tell whether those present
are in an available form, and the
grower Is thoreforo forced to try ex
periments. As far as the physical
character of tho soil are concerned,
apples In our climate prefer a clay
loam, not necessarily a heavy clay,
but a clay loam Is apt to retain mois
ture and food such ns apples need.
Pears will grow on similar soil to
apples or even heavier soil. Cherries
nr.J pru::c3 prefer the lighter loam,
such as many of the red hill lands,
especially whero tho soil Is deep.
Peaches do well on tho granitic,
sandy soils; while grapes prefer tho
sunny south east slopes, especially
thoso which are deep and contain
moro or less stopy sub-soil. The main
requirement of tho walnut seems to
bo a deop soil. Attention should bo
paid to the sub-soil. Thoso soils
about 45 degrees. This will keep the
trees In good condition until planted.
Never bury them in bundles for a
long 'period, as they will often heat
and decay. If they arrive somewhat
dried and shriveled, bury them In a
moist earth or submerge them In
water. The bark will often puff out
and nearly all the trees will live. The
distance to plant trees apart is a
matter of interest all over the state,
as there Is a tendency to plant them
too close. On our rich virgin soils,
with plenty of moisture, our orchards
can be planted closely, and probably
make tho best uso of the land for the
first ten or twelve years, when tbey
begin to crowd. '
It takes a good deal of nerve to
cut out half an orchard that has
been yielding a large profit, but If
this Is not done the whole orchard
will bo ruined; so, for a great many
people, it would be better to plant the
trees their permanent distance and
grow some garden crop in between if
necessary for the first few years.
There Is, however, ono system that
will allow you to cut out some trees.
Apples should be planted from 30 to
4 0 feet apart; the smaller varieties
of pears in the neighborhood of 20;
while some of the larger varieties of
pears will stand 30. Where the cher
ries attain a good size It will need
from 30 to 33 feet. Small varieties of
peaches, 12 to 15 feet, and the larger
15 to 20, and probably some varieties
will do better with even 23. Our old
er prune orchards are showing that
30 feet is none too far, while grapes
are often planted In, rows six feet
apart and eight to ten feet apart in
the row.
There aro several systems of set
ting out an orchard. Tho first Is the
rectangular or square method, in
which the trees aro set in squares.
The second system is the hexagonal.
it is set out on the basis of the circle,
the distance between the trees being
equal to the radius of tho circle. Thus
we havo six trees In a hexagon, with
one tree in the center. The advantage
of this method Is that the trees aro
all equally distant, but its disadvant
age i3 that if the trees aro set too
closoly they cannot easily be removed
to advantage; for, if you take out
