Ine association complain in common with several other similar as sociation that the railroad compel lumber shippers, not only to supply stake on flat or gondola cars, but also to pay freight on the stake. Testimo ny shows that each stake contain 13 1 feet of lumber, which at eight to the car on 100,000 an at $20 per thousand for lumber of the kind used means extra tax for (take per annum in the Paciflo Northwest of 212,000. The railtoad' answer is that the stakes are not part of the normal equipment, hence the loads should not furnish them.

A fruit grower residing near Fern lale, Whatcom county, Washington, 'ecently informed the Washington 3at Fxperimenl station staff that hia orchard wa badly run down, and that he desired information which would enable him to work syatcmati lly and peraiatently until he had the orchard n good shape. Ccnaid.r.ble attention waa given to this inquiry, i'lofussor A. L. Melander, entuoiolo jiat, taking care ol the problems of in ect pesU. and Profesi-or W. 8. Thorn ber, horticHltutiit, advjalng relative to the tieatment of tha tices. Profes or Melander'a reply follows: "To get rid of the tuoas and liohens n your trees, waah tie tree trunks with lye in solution, on pound to ten gallon of water. To kill the red pi Jer, apply the ulphur lime wah when the leave are of! the tree. Thi will kill the winter rga. If the mite appear in tbe summer, use kerosene emulsion, and in thi caae it will be better to add one ounce of aulphur to each gallon of spray. For the cod. log moth, spray with arienat of lead, or Paria green while tbe blosaomaare fall ing. Give a aecond apraying ten to .nj ., la. v., wciuiiig iu Ui weather, and spray again four week fter the first worm appear under tb band. Give the fourth scraving four weeks laUr. Get after the following pest with the sulphur-lime waah: Oyster shell lark louae; peach worm or twi), borer; green or black aphia; blis ter mite: leaf curl: tx-ach mildew. Find out exactly what each pest is that you discover, and treat accordingly. In preparing the kerosene emul sion, uae two gallons of kerosene ; whale oil soap (or one quart of soft soap), on half pound; water, one gal lon. Dissolve th soap in water, but boiling, and add the sua boiling hot to tbe kerosene, away from the fire. The mixture is then to be agitated violent- , peferably by pumping it back on itself with a ioica pump. After four or five minute the mixture suddenly becomes creamy in consistence. If well made, tbe cream will stand for a long time without free oil rising to the sur face. Unlet) otherwise stated, use on gallon of tbe emulsion to twelve gal lons of water, in spraying. "In preparing the arsenate of lead pray, use one pound of arsenate of lead to forty gallon of water. It is unne- oessary to use this stronger, and it is more reliable than Paris green. It ia especially useful where there ia much rain, for it sticks well and does not scorch the leaves." Taking up the problems in horticul ture, Professor Thornber stated: "Tbe removal of all insects and dis eases is of great importance, but do not forget that careful tillage of the land, then the removal of part cf the tepa oi the treea, and a careful thinning out ol tbe fruit is of just aa much import ance. II the orchard haa been in eod lor years, and the tree are not growlne, tbe only proper thing to do will tie to plow np tbe ground thoroughly ana put the soil in first class tillable condtiioo. To do this, I adviae you to give the land a thorough plowing in the fall, leaving it more or leu rough to weath er during tbe winter. In the spring, a soon a the ground ha dried out sufficiently, woik the soil careully with either a disk, or a spring tooth, any tool, in fact, that will cultivate the ground thoroughly. Let the cultiva tion be continued throughout tbe next two or three years, till the soil is in an active, virile condition. "The pruning of your trees will be another important phase. If the trees are large, they will need more or lees topping, but do this gradually. To not remove the entire top at ouce, or you will produce crop ol . water sprouts, and will retard the fruit scions from one to five years. So thin out the limbs, topping back but portions of them, and plan on doing summera well as winter pruning. If any Urge limbs are to be removed, tbe cut surfaces should be painted over with some lead paint of almost any color. Do n) use wax nor coal tar. The grafting wax will peel off during wet seasons, and tbe coal tar will injure the cambium, or young growth, especially in fruit trees. .. "Determine what vatrieues oi iruiv you have, and their merit. Top-graft the undesirable varietle In the spring, and carefully eliminate all varieties that are not first class. Western Wash ington Is well adapted to the lowing ol Iruit, and none but the best should be grown there.

Follow ing are th rwaulle ot the analysis: Th sum pie sent in by J. J., ol RidgafUld, Clark county, ia lacking in available potah and lime. Th most beneficial lieatmeut lor this condition of affair ia from 600 to 1,000 pound per cr ol slaked lime, and LOCK to 2,000 pounds per acre of sulphate of potash, both applied braduaat in the apring after the gtound haa been well ploe.d The applications ahould be bar row! in well. There is no question but that the soil in the region of Kidge fleld needs this srrt ol treatment Th tamp.e sent In by F. W., taken from the White river valley between Seattle and Tacoma contains a surpris ingly large amount ol lime lor a West Side soil. However it is very low In potah, and not well supplied with phoaphorio acid. Potash fertiliser would theiefore b likely to give the beet result of any single fertilizer In gredient. I have advised Mr. W. to tiy about 100 pounds per acre ol sul pliate of potaah, and about 2(H) pounds per acre of bone meal, applied to the oil early in the spring and well work ed ia before the crop ia planted. Tbe sample sent in by YV. 11. W., of L'ttle Falls, Lewis county, is well sup plied with nitrogen, phosphoric acid and humni, and fairly well with pot aah; but ia very low in 11m. I have advlted that 800 pound per acr of slaked lime be applied after the ground i plowed. It should be well harrowed in.

The supply ot potash is alro very low. have no doubt that tbe heaviest ap plication ol slacked liaie which Mr. 8. can make will give very beneficial re sult on this type of soli, although some of the Pacific county larmers have tried using lime on the upland soil without very benefiical result. For this soil we have recommended about 100 pounds per acre ol sulphate ol potaah. A. A., ol Ronburg, Wahkiakum county, haa tent ua a aample ol aoil which we find to be low in lime and potash. The other Ingredients are present In fairly good supply. It is probable that the dicfliulty which has been experienced with this soil is due chiefly to a lack ol lime, and perhaps potash also. We have advised tbe uae ol from 600 to 1,000 pound per acre ol flaked lime and the use on a email scale, ol about 100 pounds per acre ot sulphate ct potash. A sample oi Kiteap connty subsoil baa been sent in by G. 8. N., ol Seat tle, which we find to be very gravely deficient in potaah. It probably would not produce crops of any kind, without tertilizers of potaah. The other Ingre dients are present in fairly good supply, and so fur aa we can tell by chemical analysis, need not be reinforced with fertilizers."

Washington Experiment Station Croat- Blueatem and Turkey Red. Tbe Washington State Experiment station now believe it ha succeeded in combining Blueatem and Turkey Ked wheat into a hybrid variety which can be grown with superior results in tbe heat-raising districts of the Pacific Northwest. Thi experiment was be gun in IWU3, ana me purpose in view wa to grow a winter wneai, wnicn would lack the beard of the Turkey Ked. and still posses it attractive qualities as a winter wheat. Bluestem being valuable for flonr making pur poses, but not well adapted to tall sow inir. was crossed with the Turkey Bed. The result ol a cross produce, what is known as a "hybrid," the term simply meaning a union between two flowers or plants not of the same variety. In all work of this nature, no definite re sult are obtainable until the second generation, or, during the second year's growth after the croe ha been made. Since the first croe was niaue, in ivvo. each year the atation uti na seieciea tbe plant that possessed the character- istics of tbe aeirea nyonu. iuirw-j perfect plants were obtained from the CMS Ot lU, BUI uuw ovciiwo- thousand of them are growing. The hybrid is peculiar in it inter mixing ef the qualities of Blueetem and Turkey Bed. The straw grown favor Bluetem, but th ieai nrninoi much like that of the Turkey Ked. For this reason Prof. Uiwrence, in cna.gn of tbe experiment, is not shaolutely sure that the new wheat will in every way be adapted to all wheat raising districts of Eastern Washington. In nearly all instance the kernel lavora the Tuikey Ked, although in a lew in stances th grain Is white ilke Blue-stem. T Caw Cut off the tough ends of the asyara-gns- wanh and put the top.
