V When .President Witbycombe, of the Oregon agricultural college at Corvallts, was at tbe Redmond fair ;hbt fall he stated that one of the heading iudustrios of. this region in the future will be tbe dairy busi ness. Thai is the opinion held by iaany here. Therefore it will be well for the farmers of the upper Deschutes valley to gradually turn jthcir attention to the needs of the dairying business and lay their plans accordingly. . Speaking of the wealth that comes to h& farmers of Washing ton from" dairy products, August Wolfe savs in an article ou the "In land Empire of the Northwest": ' "Dairyini:, which netted the farmer f the state of Washington $9,500,000 rear ngo, 1 yet in n truancy. 1 n, 1 - " li 1 ' L - "I m" lakps, to support those poot wretches, and yd , donations have been very slow ill cuuitig.

Should not Ucud do its share ami more to relieve this suffering? What is yoUr Ameri can citizenship worth to you? The Bulletin has made it a point to make numerous inquiries regard init the condition of fall sown grain. Every report so far ob tained states that fall ovn crops never looked better and that they are in excellent condition. In fact, there is promise of a bumper yield from this grain. Many of the farm ers hereabout firmly believe that all grain, the nature of which permits it, should be sowed in the fall, thus securing the benefit of the fall and winter moisture. Each year s experience seems to prove them correct in their theory. Problems. That Confront The Irrigator Irrigation in Fruit Growing from l'trmtrii' Ilulttlln Niv lit, ImuoI bj- til V 8.

They will always be needed. We also need good dairy breeds. It will take time to introduce large numbers of these cattle into this region, and the work should be Started at once by tbote who have the means to undertake it.

And it isn't too Judging from the actions of the development league at Laidlaw, people there arc determined to lead in to that burs by the nose both the Corvaltis & Eastern and Ore gon Trunk Line railroads. They have simply got to build into Laid law whether they want to or not. Well, that is the kind or spirit that wins. If people do not know that Laidlaw is on the map it won't be the fault of the development league.

In the warmer pnrt of the nrid region, where there is proper char acter and .sufficient depth of soil to constitute the great "subsoil reser voir previously described in these columns, it is possible to insure the deciduous tree all the moisture it needs for months by free winter irrigation which fills this reservoir just as a heavy winter rainfall could do it. 1 here has been abund ant evidence ever since the becin mug of irrigation by Americans in California that such irrigation, fob lowed by good summer cultivation, will be effective if the soil is reten tive enough. Recent experiments in Arizona has 'approved ibf that region the teachings of experience in California. While the ileculti ous tree is dormant large amounts of water cun be safely applied ou all, except, perhaps, heavy clay oils, nnd water may be used at a temperature which would certainly be too cold to use while the tree is in active growth. For winter irri gation Irec application at intervals sufficiently lung to allow deep penetration of the moisture is necessary. Sl'MMKR IRRIGATION. When the unc ol water shall be gin during the growing season de pends, ol course, upon the charac ter aud depth of the soil and the needs of the particular growth The same considerations already urged to dctcriniue whether irriga tion is needed at all have a bearing upon this question,' because carti uess of application is merely a de cree of that need. Under some conditions, such as exceptional drought in tbe arid region, it may be necessary to irrigate to maintain the spring growth, aud thereafter at intervals of about a month dur ing the whole summer. Usually, however, there is uataral moisture enough to start growth, even in the driest regions, and irrigation is first called for to give proper size and quality to the early ripening varieties, and from that on at inter vals for the maintenance oi growth, the perfection' of later varieties, etc. This is in a region in which lull irrigation is required. Partial irrigation is now largely employed as .1 supplement to rain fall iu other region where the need of irrigation for deciduous fruit trees was formerly scouted. Itanes in method according to 1 Iocji moisture lie! Irr.atiu.t Utore fi tut ripening is given iu a single application of alrfnit 3 ocre-iilehet per acre after the early ripening fruit have reached good sue and jiutt before 1 they begin the final swell which j determines size. This reaches the 'circulation of the tree iu time to (materially aid iu the attainment of satisfactory sire. In some cases ' this not only does this but enables 'the tree to hold its foliage and I growth the balance of the season. Irrigation after fruit picking is ' practiced where the moisture from . rainfall is enough to properly mature the earlier fruits, but the effort fio far exhausts available moisture that the tree would after- i wards fail of growth enough to fill jout fruit buds for the following 1 year One irrigation at that time, j accompanied by a summer pruning , of excessive wood growth, has a I tendency to develop fruit spurs, 1 maintain verdure and leaf action, , and bring the tree to the close 'of ) the season in good condition for the next year s bearing. This nppll cation is also about 3 acre-inches of water per acre. The above are used singly when cither one or the the other seems to be all that the tree requires. Where the need Is apparently greater the two are given. This docs not seem to be u deep Indulgence lu Irriga tion, aud it' is not, but it' is gtcat from the fnct that it holds' the secret of profit iu the orchard; first, iu making fine, marketable frtlitl second, in laying the foundation for the same result the following year. VAM, IRklUA'riON. Fall irrigation for deciduous trees is found advisable where the ralu resources of the region are very scant, so that there may be too great drying of the tissues of the tree duritn; the long, hot autumn. 'and where prolonged activity of the tree docs not encounter killing frosts. Iu some snch places' the too early dormancy df the "tree Is followed by undesirable full1 bloom, which can be prevented by prolong ing fall growth until n later dor mancy. Iu regions of greater cold, and especially iu the interior val leys of the northerly portions of the arm region, late irrigation must usually be carefully guarded against, because it is very necessary that the tree should become dor mant early and fully harden its new wood. For the same reason, summer cultivation must stop soon er toward the North, .so that it de gree of dryness iu the soil shall warn the tree to complete Its work for the season and ptcpirc for frosts. On the other hand, at some interior Northern points it is necessary to use late fall irrigation to guard the trees against injury by evaporation in dry winter at moiphcrc. It has been demonstrat ed that trees adequately supplied with moisture arc less liable to winterkilling. Those lessons of experience arc akin to others pre viously cited -that adequate Irri gatiou is of iucMimablc value aud that excessive irrigation is danger ous. Quite different is the practice with autumn and winter fruiting trees which arc by tlicir nature re stricted to the semitropical regions. Fruits of the citrus family are the most conspicuous instances. They take almost a year to accomplish what the deciduous trees do in a few months. The high summer heat which ripens Northern fruits brings growth aud developmetiV to the citrus fruit, but the wonderful chttmiatry of the ripening process is rcitr.iiiieJ. It i reserved fur the cooler months of winter. A the tree has no long dormant season, but a number of short uw nt in tervals, its moisture supply must be continuous aud the irrigator must be ever ready to .supplement the rains with irrigation as may be necessary all through the autumn months iiliilj on occasion, even In to the winter if tlte rains fail. S'ilc, quality, aud all the characteristics of a perfect fruit, in winter fruits as well as iu slimmer fruits, arc nil conditioned Upon adequate mois ture, and the longer the -.rowing season ol tlic Irutt, the more water needed, as a rillc. Even the olive which stand.? at the head for drought rcsi?tatice, will shrink aud shrivel its ripfcning fruit until its moisture needs arc met. Tlic amount of writer required nnd the time of its application depend, then, upon the nature of the growth, as well as tinon the nature of the soil which supports it. 1 To be . outinued. ) Bccauso wo are soiling tho samo and bettor quality at a closer morsin is a very good reason why you will imd our storo tho I host placo to buy anything in tho lino of 1 Groceries, Drygoods, Fumish 1 Xngs, Shdes, Hardware, Sash and Doors, Paints and Oils The PINE TREE STORE n. a.
