Winter Kill of Apple Trees During the past spring a great many reports have reached the Experiment Station of apple trees being winter killed. In most cases it was young trees, and in some cases the older trees suffered. An investigation of this trouble indicates that in nearly every case the trees were encouraged to grow until late in the summer, and the wood was not permitted to ripen well before freezing weather set in. In some few cases summer pruning had been done, and the trees had started to grow after the pruning work, and were in a condi tion of secondary growth when fall weather set in. Many of these trees suffered severely. The winter kill was not, in each case, due to extreme cold weather, but to the freezing of the wood before it reached maturity. In some cases the killing did not take place until February or March, but in nearly every case the trees that were least matured suffered most. The best method of avoiding this trouble is to check the growth of the trees a little after mid-surnmer, by withholding water in the irrigated dis tricts, or ceasing tillage, and in some cases planting a cover crop in the or chard. The soil should not be permitted to become so dry that the trees actually suffer for water, but it should be per mitted to dry sufficiently to check the check the growth of the trees. Wrap ing, or placing bandages about the trees will"sometimes be worth while, but it is seldom necessary if the growth is prop erly matured. In some localities the Rome Beauty has suffered severe loss. In some sec tions the Yellow Newtown and Spitzen berg have been very severely injured. The Ben Davis family has probably been less injured than any of the other var ieties. The mere fact, however, that the trees winter kill to some extent when they are not properly cared for in the fall is not necessarily evidence that the locality is not adapted to fruitgrow ing, as in most cases the trees will not suffer winter injury after they reach an age of five or six years. Roads and Schools Require Money The fact that there is spent on the roads of Washington more than one third, or 34 per cent, of all the money raised in the state by taxation is not generally known, but such is shown to be the fact by fifiures embodied in a statement which W. J. Roberts is pre paring for submission to Governor M. E. Hay, and as the schools of the state require 40 per cent of the taxes for their maintenance, more than three-fourths, or 75 per cent, of the taxes are spent on the roads and schools of the state. In 18 of the counties more than 30 per cent of all the taxes raised in those counties go for highways, while in Cow litz county in 1911 50 per cent was ex pended. In Jefferson county the per centage was less than in any other county, being only 20.5 per cent. In Pend Oreille county in 191140.5 per cent of the taxes were for roads, or $57,610 out of $142,858. The statement shows that of the taxes collected in the various for road pur poses, only a small percentage goes to the state, and as the state expends this money in the county from which it comes, practically every dollar collected for roads is spent in the county where it is collected. The greater part of the road money is paid into the county road and bridge and the county road district funds and expended by the county.

For sale by all dealers, A Couple of Live Wires By ANDREW f. WHITNEY Abraham PattersoD was a real estate and insurance man. and Johnny Thraeker was his chief clerk, book keeper and man of all work, besides taking care of the office, even to sweep ing out Soon after Johnny went with the real estate man the latter's daugh ter. aged seventeen, came into the office one morning to get some pin money and found Johnny there alone. This visit was the beginning of a lovp affair between ber and Johnny. Having found a visit to the office and upon him pleasant, Delia came quite often after that, always choosing a time when her father was out drum ming up or attending to business. Mr. Patterson was consequently ignorant of the growing attachment. Indeed he was unmindful of the fact that his daughter had outgrown her doll. As for Johnny. Patterson grudged him the $10 a week salary he paid him. One day Mr. Patterson, just as he had started in for the sale of a piece of real estate upon which the commission would amount to $1,000. fell ill and was confined to his bed. Down to the office came Delia with a note from him to Johnny stating that he must give up trying to bring about the trade and so inform the seller and a buyer.to whom be had hoped to sell the property. Johnny read the note and pondered. "What you thinking about?" asked the inquisitive Delia. "1 was wondering if I could do the job " "Of course you can." At that moment Mh Wardell. the owner of the property in question, came in and asked if Mr. Paterson was yet down. Johnny replied that he was a trifle indisposed and wouldn't arrive till afternoon, but he (Johnnyi would do anything required in the meantime. "Tell him I've decided to take $40,000 for the property." Mr iVardell went out, and Johnny and Delia consulted The consultation ended in Delia keeping office while Johayy went out to find Mr Deacon, the expected purchaser Deacon had offered $40,000. but the price was then $42,500 Johnny asked if he would buy at the firice. and Deacon told him he thought he would But before he could determine positively he must make an other visit to tlie property and look it over. Johnny returned to Delia, and an other consultation followed. A person had been in the ofiice while Johnny was away from whom she had gather ed that certain real estate agents of the town were getting busy about the property and a sale was likely to be made by another go-between who would gather in the commission. Delia suggested that they report to Mr War deil that Mr Deacon had accepted his offer and agreed to pay the $40,000 I'his would complete the sale so far as Mr. Wardell was concerned, and the bottom of the transaction could only drop out through Mr. Deacon Unfortunately for these young bro kers Mr. Deacon ou his way to inspect the property slipped off the curb and sprained his ankle. His wife tele phoned to the office information of the fact, saying that there was little doubt i hat he would buy the property, but one more visit to the premises was nec essary and her husband could not go out on his sprained ankle for several days. "it's all up!" moaned Johnny "I've lieard on the street this morning that an agent was hunting for Mr Wardell to offer him $45,000 for the property, but can't find him." In conies the postman with a letter from Mr. Wardell dated in a neighbor ing town, asking for the contract of sale to be sent him with the customary deposit This indicated that he con sidered his property sold. If the young brokers could stave him off till they could get a definite answer from Dea con the sale would be effected "1 tell you what." said Delia. "Send him a contract and purposely make an error in it. He'll have to send it back and by that time we may get Mr Dea con up to the point." "Good!" exclaimed Johnny, and. tak ing a blank contract, he filled it out on the typewriter, writing $400,000 in stead of $40,000. Then he put it in a post box For the next two days the reports of offers for and sales of the property were in the air. The contract came back for correction, and the young sters were at their wits' ends. Johnny went to the telephone and told Mr. Deacon that he'd have to "Yes" then or never. Deacon got a carriage, made his inspection, stopped at the office on his return and signed a contract of purchase with check for forfeiture. As Johnny was going out of the of fice with him a broker came in and said: "I've got a contract of purchase signed for the Wardell property for $46,000 I can't find the owner. If you'll tell me where he is I'll divide commissions." "Don't know anything about it," said John as he jumped into a cab and was driven in a hurry to a station. He got Warden's signature and was back in town at 10 o'clock the next morning. That day Patterson came to the of fice in care of his daughter. Johnny told him the story and showed him the cont-act.. The real estate man looked from one to the other of the two young sters. then hugged both. The firm of Theracker & Co now consists of Mr and Mrs. Theracker.
