LETTER IL OOD RIVER, Ore.. May I, 1U-- T Y 1 Pear Jim: Olacier View Or J I chard, as our place Is called, consists or tweniy-iive cr, eight acres full bearing, four acres 1-year-old trees, three acres meadow, the balance uncleared, and cost. Including all equipment, $16,009. It I located on the main road leading to and about eight mllea from Cloud Cap Inn, the famous summer resort on Mt. Hood, be tween which and Hood River a daily auto service Is maintained throughout the sum mer months. The entire valley la from six to ten miles wide and twenty-five miles long, the eastern and wetern limits being bounded by rather high foothills, which gradually draw together as they near Mt Hood, where they meet. We are In the very shadow of these eastern hills and separated from them by the river, which here rushes madly along on Its precipi tous flight to the Columbia river. Ths altitude Is t.00 feet. This letter Is to be merely a plain state ment of facts and conditions as I found them In orchard work, otherwise 1 would dilate upon the beauties of nature as seen here. Ai.d yet no words can give you any adequate Idea of the wondrous glories of this mountain country. Not once, nor twice, but scores of times one of us has called to the other to see. It might be a sunrise, or a sunset, or some cloud effect about Mt Hood's head. In the sold, gray dawn old Hood looms up cold, stern and silent. Presently, from over the eastern hills, a single shaft of light shoots across the sky and rests upon the very topmost peak, kissing It Into a pink of delicate hue. Quickly the colors Changs and deepen Into richer crimsons and reds, as crag after crag is lighted up. Lower, even lower, down the mountain side steals the light until with one rush the sun swings over the eastern hills and the entire mountain la bathed In the full glories of another day. To watch this awakening Into life again, to see the colors on the mountain side change, blending Into deeper tin is. gives one an exaltation of feeling Impossible to describe. And the clouds! How they drlt and eddy ' about now hiding the entire mountain, now settling down until through them the mountain, with Us everlasting snows, shoves Its head loftily out of the gloom Into heaven's pure tight And then again. the clouds form a cap or hood of downy whiteness and lightness, leaving only the base of the mountain and the foothills dis closed to view. Perhaps It Is a sunset, with the western sky all aflame with fiery col ors, or the mountain standing silent like a -mighty sentinel under the odd light of the moon. Night after night have I gone to sleep, my eyes resting on dear old Hood, which we have all come to love so much, my senses lulled Into forgetfulness by the never-ceasing roar of the river. Ah, If one could only live on nature's beauties, ever changing as they are, ever new, what a feast one would have here. So much for our location. The climate Is moderate plenty of sun shine, but no excessive heat such as you have in the east The nights are delight fully ooot owing to our close proximity to Mount Hood and no doubt to the fact that the river carries the cold waters from the glaciers through ths valley. There la plenty of rainfall, of course, bat not ao much as tn Portland Or1 ' other points nearer the coast In fact a phrase often. used in de scribing this region Is: "Where the rain and sunshine meet." . Too much rainfall and too much heat develop the apple too rapidly,' preventing It from taking on those excellent keeping qualities and the de licious flavor characteristic of the Hood River apple. In the lower valley, the wind blows all the time and windbreaks are a necessity In many caoes, as the slant of the trees clearly shows, but here we are free from this. Another advantage over soms other fruit districts Is that we fto not need to use orchard heaters, at least the necessity has not been apparent thus far. Of course, there are certain looatlons where there Is no air drainage and those frost pockets should be shunned by. the prospective buyer. . , . The soil Is of four or five distinct kinds, but that best adapted for apples is known as red shot a soli having a tinge of red to It and composed of little shot-like par ticles. This soli, as well as the volcanic ash. Is rich In alt the elements necessary for the production of .apples and has ths advantage of being easily drained and oul ttvated. Frequent cultivation throughout the growing period conserves the mois ture by hermetically sealing ths little hoi In the ground through which evaporation takes plaoe. Of course, there la clay here and good orchards are growing on such soil, but It needs more experience In hand ling It to keep the lumps of earth well pulverised. There are three forks to the rtver and water Is drawn from all three streams for Irrigation purposes. Ths different ditches are owned and controlled by the orchard Ists directly Interested and water Is sold at so much per miner's Inch for the season. mis price varying somewhat owing to eon anions, cost of maintenance, eta Last year It was necessary to buy fifteen Inches at W per Inch to irrigate my orchard. The water was turned on early in July and allowed to run two weeks or more during the growing season. Some ore bardlets do not Irrigate at all, some only a trifle, there being a wide difference of opinion on this subject, but. In any case, no irrigating Is done after August 15. when the apples begin to take on color. , Young orchards Warnings for Prevention of Fires By Edward Morris, City Fire Warden- I I loss of lift. In case of a con- a I fl t Inn II. . ..I ., ' ft ..IU1I, 1 A. 4-.lM.I--j Vll fire warden, offers the fol lowing suggestions. He de clares that If they are followed, few people will be Injured. In case of a fire, never hesitate to call the fire department. Rut use judgment, as unnecessary responses entail expense to the city which should be avoided If possible. In sending in an alarm, give the nearest cross streets, or preferably the house and street number. And be there to direct the firemen when they arrive. If you are in a building where fire breaks out, crawl on ths floor. The cleanest air la the lowest In the room. Cover the head with a wet cloth and don't get excited. Familiarise yourself with location of windows, doors and natural escapes. Learn the location of exits to roofs sf adjoining buildings; also location of stairways In case you have to resort to them. Should you hear ths dreaded cry of "fire," keep the doore of your room shut. Open your windows from the top and stand at the windows to get benefit of outside air. Io not Jump unless the flames are scorching you. l-o not Jump then If firemen are about the building. Never go to the roof exoept as a last resort. Have your chimneys cleaned once or twice a year.' It w)ll avoid burning out of chimney and danger of fire. Avoid throwing ashes In wooden re ceptacles or alongside of sheds, fenoes or house. Don't allow wasts paper, boxes or rubbish to accumulate in alley-ways, sheds or cellars. Never fill gasolene cans or tanks at night or by lamp light Keep gasolene eana outdoors. If you detect the odor of gasolene, never strike a match to find the leak Open doors and windows to let the gas escape. Never handle a live electric light wire or attempt to cut It. The same applies to live telephone wlrea. Take no chances of handling a wirs tp.'see If It is "live." All electric light cords, attached to gas fixtures hanging from ceilings, should be removed. Don't go away from home, a red-hot stovs In the house some one to watch It. Close the door of each apartment In the house before retiring at night especially the lower rooms. Flames have less chance to spread then where the house is open from top to bottom. leaving without do not need mater and this Is one objection to raising strawberries between young trees. The berries need plenty of water and this excesstvs molsure has a tendency to bring the roots of the trees too nesr tha surface, to their permenent Injury- One has but to see two orchards, side by side. one with and the other without strawber ries, to realise the Injury It Is possible to Inflict upon young trees by growing straw berries between them. There are those who will scoff st this statement especially ths railroad advertising manager and ths real estate agent, but various Inquiries among the growers lead me to believe In, and stand by, this statement It Is said that a Hood river orchardlst knows each tree la his orchard and cares for It more seslously than many a New York mother does her children. Be that as it may. he certainly exhibits the greatest care in pruning, spraying and cultivating his trees and In handling his crop. The fruit magastnes are full of articles on pruning and It should not be necessary to say anything on this feature of orchard work, but I am presuming that you want full Information on alt points. Pruning Is done to give symmetry of form to ths tree, to take out all Interfering branches that prevent free air circulation and keep the sunlight from the center of the tree, to strengthen the branches that they may grow In such a way as to properly bear their burden, of fruit and to enable the fruit to take on sise and color. There are two distinct methods of pruning, and whichever one Is adopted, It Is put into practice the day the tree is planted. Some one has said that the first five years of a child's life determines Its entire future, and this is equally true of a tree, because during this period the foundation is laid and the framework built The one method Is to develop a center stalk, from which branches shoot out at intervals, but the better plan and that largely followed in this valley Is to throw the center of the tree ' open, vase-shaped. In Better Fruit for December, 1810, appears a most thorough snd excellent article on pruning from the pen of A. I. Mason, one of the most successful orchardlsts tn this valley. He advocates the open center method and shows how a tree should bs pruned each year of Its growth to attain this snd and the advantages of this method of pruning. By heading the tree In quite low, keeping tha oenter open and limiting the main branches to Ave tn number, preferably three or four, as widely distributed as possible on the trunk of the tree, so that no forks are formed. It gives the tree a goblet shape. The work of spraying, thinning and picking la greatly facilitated thereby, the air circulates freely and the sunlight strikes every portion of the tree, giving ths fruit a better chance to grow and color. The ons drawback to the open oenter ties In the fact that the outer branches need supports to carry the load of fruit, and Mr. Mason rhows how clev erly 'and successfully this Is accomplished by the use of wires stretched from the branches to a ring In the center of the tree. Pruning Is done twice each year, in the winter or early spring when the tree Is dormant and again in July. The former pruning of old trees removes all cross or inward growing limbs, all limbs that may Interfere with ths air circulation and all broken branches, while- ths summer prun ing takes off the water sprouts. Spraying Is another Important feature of orchard work, religiously attended to by the successful orchardlst' Last spring my trees were sprayed with a lime and sul phur mixture for scab and fungus, and again In ths summer for fungus growths, but It was and Is not necessary to spray for ths coddling moth, as the nights here In this upper valley are ao cold the worms cannot hatch out though the lower val ley people, still havs this pest to fight. The green aphis was sprayed for at dif ferent times as necessity demanded. Now you will be Inclined to doubt my word and will accuse me of gross exaggeration, such as Is found in various advertising matter sent out from these northwest states, yet It Is an absolute fact that out of nearly 1,000 boxea of apples marketed I found only half a dosen do you fully comprehend what that means only six real live worms In apples. There may have, been one box of apples, certainly no more, which showed stings, but; only six wormy apples do I recall having found during ths season. A small percentage of Delaware Reds were injured by fungus, but prompt spraying prevented ths spread of the disease and ths loss was small. Ws havs many other pests, such as 'the sap sucker, or what we used to call the woodpecker, which punctures ths bark of the tree, allowing the sap to oose out. He makes hole after hole and then goes back to suck ths sap. If not discovered in time bs will completely girdle ths tree with these holes and cause great Injury, if not death, to ths tree. Our little tt is kept ready, and It was a proud day for me when I brought in my first bird, for never before had I ahot a living thing. The gopher in the newer sections is a menace to young trees, and an effectual remedy Is to put poisoned raisins in their runways. One or two applications generally suffice. Cultivation begins early in the season and continuee well into the summer, but oeasas in early August, as later cultivation tends to continue the trees growth (I am peaking of young trees now.) Into late fall, giving them no chance to harden up for winter. When the young apples have formed and are about the slse of hickory nuts the work of thinning Is begun, the aim being to remove all apples that ars not likely to fully develop, or that may limb rub, or are too crowded, leaving only as much fruit as the tree will carry and bring to perfection. This is almost as laborious a task as that of picking. I well ' remember my first sight of the orchard . after the thinning had been finished last year. The ground was literally covered with apples and dismay and fear filled me as I thought of ths terrible loss. And yet when the orop waa harvested I found ao i many small and unmarketable apples I realised that the thinning had not been thoroughly dona And now for the harvest I The trees havs bsen pruned and sprayed.-the ground has been watered freely, the applea thinned, and soon will develop what the year a work la to bring. Ladders and picking stands ar mads ready, patent buckets of gal vanised Iron, lined with canvaa, ars given the pickers, who are Instructed how to handle the fruit. The applea ars pulled from the tree with a slight upward twist so that the atom may not be broken and fruit spurs knocked oft. and placed, not dropped. In the buckets, and from this time forward ths apples are handled as carefully as you would handls eggs. Great care Is exercised In picking and by means of lad ders and cross planka ths fruit is reached without a picker climbing Into the trees. The apples are then placed In boxes and hauled to ths apple hoee. there to be wiped and sorted and mads ready for pack ing. Ths practice is becoming quite gen. ersi to make twe or three pickings, rather than stripping ths tree of all Its fruit at one time, as. In this way. ths mors ma tured apples ars gathered first allowing the gveen ones to remain and develop further. , Such, In brief. Is ths work of ths Hood River orchard., work that enabled the valley to win the sweepstake prUe at the National Apple show at Spokane for the best carload of apples exhibited, also the first prizes for best ears of Spltseribiirg and Tellow Newtowns, in competition with the entire northwest. At Chicago, also, the weepetake prise came to the aame Hood River grower. Surely the art of growing apples hss reached well nigh perfection here. The problem of disposing of the apples, however. Is yet before us and has not been satisfactorily settled, as I will attempt to show In my next and last let ter dealing with the packing and marketing of the crop. This letter would not be complete without a reference to the class of people settling In this upper valley. Many New Yorkers are coming here from homes of affluence and refinement; young men with college education, who are taking up the work In an Intelligent, scientific way and It augurs well for the future of this country when such type of men take up farming In Its various branches as a life worn. A cleaner, brighter, manlier lot of young men can not be found anywhere than up here In the heart of the Cascades. Many amusing stories are told ebeut these New Yorkers and their first attempts at farming. One of them was getting ready to prune his tree and asked if he should do It with an axe. On another occasion he waa making his first attempt at milk ing. After a couple of hours hard work he came Into tha house disgusted saying: "It Is no use, the cow is gaining on me all the time." Another having an equally sad experience wanted to know: "How rauoh should one get at a sitting?" But 1. too, was as green as any New Yorker. 1 tried the cow, but ths milk would not corns.
