ORCHARD CULTURE, Editor Willamctto Farmer! la tho Farmer, of September lOtli, I made proposition that we, a farmers, discus og ricultural topic through tho Willamette Farmer, and that we discuss tho question of orchard culture. So far a our observation goes, the most productive and healthy orchard were tended with all the caro of it garden. A itrong and vigorous growth of wood i not always pro ductive of corresponding fruitfulncai, but often leema, for tho time, to hinder it. Cut turo promote tho growth of wood, and for thisj-eason there i little division of sentiment a to the propriety of cultivating tha ground whilo the tree aro young, but many recom mend sec-ding to grau after this. They say tho root of a bearing tree should never bo disturbed, and any cultivation now Is an in jury. Tho root of an applo treo aro of two kinds, each having its own special work. All tho largo root havo a thick succulent bark and a hard woody structure. Theso aro the main support of lifo and tho reservoirs in which tho sap is stored for the use of tho tree and aro also tho arteries for convoying it to and from tho trunk and leaves. They gener ally penetrate tho earth rather deeply and hold the treo in position. Tho other classes of roots are thread-like filaments that spring from these main root and make a perfect net work in the soil abore them. Theao rootlet aro to the large tree what the leave are to tho branches. They ore of annual .growth and never increase in eizo as they grow, but fre quently decrease, tho tip being heavier and stiller. They contain no woody structure and cannot long stand exposure to the atmosphere 'Their destruction checks growth in about tho proportion that the removal of leaves does. A small amount of growth can and does take place from the main root by absorption with out these rootlet, but the main growth is af fected by thein. They are not powerful enough to force, their way through a hard. closdaoiljh.no the necessity of keeping JJie ion mouow, nicy are mainiy near in sur face, tho largo root lying deeper, below tho reach of sun and drouth. Nature intended all her vegetable productions to be ful from the surface of the soil. Manure buried deeply does little or no good. Hence tho benefit of culture on tho surface, which greatly over balances any injury to the root. The plow must not run deep enough to tear up main roots; a snisll one may be broken off but it loss is nothing more than the pruning of a limb. The mass of rootlet cut oil' and turned over in tho early Spring are mainly the dead feeder.of last year. To thoroughly plow and loosen up the surface In the early Spring is to give oil tho roots and rootlet a full oppor tunity to perform all .their functions, and if a liberal amount of fertilizers aro worked in at tho samo time the result is greatly increased. Subsequent surface cultivation may possibly Injure a few roots, while it benefit tho grow th of many, Iu orchard long neglected the largo root do como nearer the lurfaco than Is desirable, but where frequently stirred thero is no trouble with them. Here, then, is one good and sufficient reason for tho culturo of orchards; that tlte ground may lie kept sufficiently loosened for the rootlets to grow readily through it and to bring fresh supplies o! nutriment within their reach. A mellow soil Is what wo should aim at to promote the longevity of our fruit tree. Loiuink. I 4 J J The Tune to Cut Clover. Kditor Willamette Farmer i In your last issue Mr. John Minto asked when was the proper time to cut the first crop of clover to reap tho greatest amount of soed. I think that I lave answered the ques tion In a previous issue, but as we fail to read or our minds fail sometime to take In all that is said, I w ill tell it again and again if neces sary. The labor I perform I done for the good of others a well as for myself, Clover should lie cut a soon as the first blossoms ap pear; by so doiug the roots of the clover have more vitality, will send out stronger shoots and will hare longer to mature, and the after math can be cut and threshed before our Sep tember rains, though a little rain on it after cut will make it thresh easily, Loiuink. I J 1 -1-1 M Tbe Aphis, or Tree lice. Mr. Henry Miller called on us Tuesday and aaid that he hod noticed a number of lady bugs on his place near Portland, and after" watching them found they destroyed the aphis, in some instances cleaning the bushes and tree entirely of this peat Tbe exhaust He article published a few week since from the N V. Tribune recommended tha import ing ol these lice destroying bugs. But since we have plenty of them here there will be no u importing them. This is probably a good o:nen for our next year's crop.

IW1P 1 I fV MA WtaMWffBaB THE BACK QUESTION TO BE SETTLED. The following from the Sacramento Record Union I intcresting'to nil fanners on tho Pacific coasti "It has been a big question for California wheat farmers how to get rid of the exponso of sending their grain to market In sacks. This expenco ha been a burdensomo ono when tho farmer were obliged to pay a fair price for sacks, but when dealers, seeing a short supply, clubbed together .and put up a job on tho farmers, or in tho moro polito lan guage of the craft, mado a corner on sacks and compelled the payment of a heavy ad vance, simply because they could, tho burden lias becomo almost unliearable. Tho fanners havo been talking about trying to bring about a chargo in this respect for years, but each harvest has been found them still in tho samo helpless conditiou, and obliged to pay round prices for sacks to put their wheat in. Often crops have been sold when the cost of sacks ha absorbed tho last dollar of profits in the pro duction of the crop. When tho grange was started in California, one of the greatest in ducements held out to wheat growers wa that of making a grand combination of those who would have 'to buy sacks and order them direct from the manufacturers in Scotland, or what wa supposed would be still better, it was said by associated effort and capital the growing of juto and tho manufacture of sacks and pay whatever the greed of monopolists may dtrnand. Hut now the day is near at hand when tho sack question is to bo settled, and inadirectionondbyan agency least expect ed. I The Southern Pacific rnllrosd Is to be the means California capital the power that is to relieve tho farmers of this burdensomo tax on their enterprise and industry. When tho Southern Pacifio is completed through to tha Gulf of Mexico tho routs of thi wheat crop ol utiitornia to Europe will bo changes!. In stead of going around the Horn Itwillgo over land over the Southern Pacifio to Ualvcston, and not in sacks, but in bulk. When there It wlHJi.Jitlstcd Into elevators from the cara, and'from the elevators It wiirle carried by machinery into the ships and delivered from these ship into the warehouses at Liverpool. The coat of handling will then be avoided, and the grower will get tho benefit of it. In from two to five years from this dato the great wheat crop of this coast will go in this way to !U destination, and then wo may expect to seo a new era In the development of this country. Iu order to get some Idea of this sack tare wo will state that tho wheat crop alone in this Stato this year will bo not less than 33,000,000 bushels or lO.AOO.OOO sack. At ten cent apiece theao sacks will cost the farmers the sum of O.fl-TO, 0C0. Addthii to the profits of the wheat prod ucerscco'i year nnd we will sosn to g'n te seo p Yiterlty wbsr we now see constant struggle to jmy Interest an 1 expenses. Iiesldei this, other ,u ntlo i of alii o it equal importance to the fanners of this State are about to bo nettled by the comple tion of the Southern l'acillo railroad. San Francisco has always bocn the most expensive port In the world from which to shin tho nro- duce of the country. Tho w heat of tho eutire State will pass right by San Francisco iu the cars of this rca 1 without paying to that citv a cent of toll. The cars will take the grain direct from the local warehouse ami land it in the elevators on the Gulf of Mexico, and from the local warehouse it will only 1 reshippod once before it reaches the warehouses in Liver pool, and tho entire work of thw rcshipment will bo done by machinery at a small expence.
