FOR FIVE NORMAL SCHOOLS. WONDERFUL RETURNS FOR fore the award was made I would not have taken $5 a box for the apples. My orchard should yield 14.000 boxes of pears, 14,(XX) boxes of peaches and 16,000 boxes of apples in 1909. I had no prac tical knowledge of scientific fruit growing until a few years ago. At that time the land was worth $100 ail acre. That was in 1900, when the first trees were set out. I have refused an offer of $2,000 an acre, or $100,000 for the tract. 1 would not take $250,000 for the orchard today.” Mr. Gilbert, winner of the second prize in the carload compe tition, said be entered a straight pxhibit of Winesaps, running four to a tier or 112 in a box, for the purpose of showing visiting East erners what a carload looked like. He had more than a car of 4%- tier, but chose the largest and best. Of his orchard at North Yakima he said: "The orchard is set out where 10 years ago sage brush was grow ing. At that time I cleared 20 acres and set out a portion of it to apple trees, growing garden truck between the rows. In the third year I finished setting out trees and put in apricot, peach and pears as fillers. This year, how ever, I cut out all the peach trees. The orchard consists principally of Winesaps, because this is one of the liest commercial apples, but there are also Arkansas Black, Spitzenberg, Missouri Pippin, Jon athan and Ben Davis. In the last six years the peaches have yielded $1,000 an acre. The entire or chard this year yielded 8(H) boxes of pears, .4,500 boxes of peaches, 300 boxes of apricots, 7,000 boxes of apples and some cherries. The exhibit at the show represented one-fifth of the crop grown on acres of eight and ten-year-old apple trees."
