' CUT DISEASED TREES BACK.
It is the opinion of the fruit in
spector of Yamhill county, that ac
cording to his interpretation of the
instructions of the state board of hor
ticulture all old moss grown apple or
chards affected with anthracnose, or
dead'spot, whether they have scale on
them or not, must be cut back to the
trunks, anyway. In his judgement it
is usually better to cut them down
to where the head should start, say
24 to 30 inch from the ground, unless
they branch close to the height.
if all persons having such orchards
will do this without being personally
notified, it will save mnch unnecessary
expense and perhaps some orchards,
as the time is getting short when they
are apt to eprout when cut off. i

Writing from Marin county, Cat, a

tanc from the coast be stated that In
hla locality the. soil does not em to

Daring ths long wet Reason from No
rember to May water stands on the
bottom lands mrjch of the time, and
the alfalfa la killed out; otherwise It
mlKht do well.
But the oat hay seems well sdapted
for the purpoas of provender, and It
provra an exeeedlnjtly good crop. It It
cut with an ordinary mowing machine
when In the soft donna stage and Is
cured the same as bay. To an east
erner It looks like straw, and the man
who, upon being aaked to help himself
to hay for hla home, replied later that
he couldn't find any hay, but fed the
animal some straw, might eaally have
been pardoned for the mistake.
Some Idea of the money value of the
crop may be gained when a mnn can
