WILL K MARKET
FOR GOOD FRUIT
FROM THE WEST
Is No Danger of Overproduc
tion if Quality Is Right,
in the Opinion of Fruit
Expert.
(Staff Correspondence.)
Emmett, Jan. 9. -There is no danger
of an over-prod u< tion of good fruit hi
Idaho, or in the northwest, according
to Professor VineeiT of the University
of Idaho, who gave some interesting
figures in his able address Wednes
day morning at the Movanle School of
Agriculture, in progress this week at
Emmett, Payette and Parma. Pro
fessor Vincent's figures on fruit pro
duction in the nation was .an inspira
tion to every fruitgrower present to
produce larger quantities of better fruit
f the extra fajicj and fancy kind.
H. I'. Ashby <*t Boise gave a splendid
talk on fruit tree inspection and fruit
Planning an Orchard.
' Planning and Planting the orchard"
was the subject of the first address
Wednesday morning, given by profess
or Vincent, the horth Ultimi list in the
agricultural department of the Univer
sity of Idaho. He said in part:
The factors to mala* up a fruit dis
trict are accessibility as to transpor

A Coffee Cup
Contains
Over 2 1-2 Grains of Caffeine.
Physicians recognize this drug to be of poisonous effect upon stom
ach, heart and nerves. Scientists employed by the U. S. Government
found, in the famous Rabbit Case, that an amount of caffeine equiva
lent to that contained in two average cups of coffee killed a Rabbit.
What wonder then, if you are a coffee drinker, that you suffer from indigestion, heart disturbance,
headache and biliousness, sleeplessness, or nerve irritation?
Multiply 2 1 -j grains nf caffeine by the number of cups of coffee you drink each
da\ and you will determine the amount of poison you give yourself daily.
Eminent physicians are protesting against the present use of coffee. (Your family doctor can vouch
for this).
The aches and ills of your own body also protest when the burden becomes too heavy.
Doesn't your own common sense suggest that you quit coffee NOW?
The New Food-drink,
Instant Postum
offers the easy way
This charming table beverage furnishes a hot drink of remarkable palatability. It has a rich seal
brown color which changes to golden brown when cream is added. Tasting much like high-grade Java,
it makes the ideal cup for those who want to get away from coffee troubles.
Instant Postum requires no boiling
It is made "quick as a wink" by pouring hot water upon a level teaspoonful of the powder in a cup
and stirring until dissolved Add sugar and cream to taste and you have a very fascinating beverage.
Grocers sell InstantPostum, 90 to 100-cup tins, 50c; 45 to 50 cup tins, 30c.

No Danger t f Over-Production.
Professor Vincent doesn't think there
ever will he an over-production of ex
tra fancy fruit. "There will be an
over-production of inferior fruit, but
we do not want to grow inferior fruit
in the northwest, not for the market,"
he declared. "It is important for the
fruitgrower, before he plants his or
chard, to learn what kind of soil ne
has.
"There are 142,000 acres planted to
orchard in Idaho. The little flurry tha
past year in fruitgrowing will have- the
effect of causing a number of orchards
all over the country being grubbed out.
'Pbe fruitgrower who holds onto his or
ehard and keeps it up, is certain to
win out in the long run.
Large Decrease in Bearing Trees.
"In the east 10 years there was a de
crease of 33 per cent in the number of
bearing fruit trees in the United States.
"Missouri. Illinois and New York,
in 1910. hod together 25 per cent of the
bearing fruit trees in the country. In
Missouri there were over 5,000,000 fruit
tree. 1 grubbed out in the past 10 years;
in Illinois, in the same period, over 4,
? fruit trees were
id in New York, in the
illions of hearing fruit

"There are thousands of acres of
oung orchards being planted on land
is
not adapted to fruit growing. All these
things impel me to think that there is
not danger of an over-production of
real good fruit in the great north
west.
"I would advise the buying of nurs
ery slock from the home nursery, be
cause home-grown nursery stock
acclimated and does better than nurs
ery stock grown in far-off places.''
Square System of Planting.
Professor Vincent advises apples to
be planted 30 feet apart, peaches 20
feet apart, and pears 25 feet apart. He
prefers the square system of planting
fruit trees, as against the quincunx, or
filler, system, or the hexagonal system.
In the square system it is easy to
cultivate the tree rows from every di
rection, and the irrigation furrows can
be run through the tree rows in bet
ter shape.
Blasting holes for tree planting with
a half stick of dynamite for each hole
has been found very beneficial.
Fruit Tree Inspection.
''Inspection of Nursery Stock" was
th© subject of an instructive address
by H. P. Ashby, the fruit Inspector of
Ada county. He said in part: "All
trees in Idaho nurseries are inspected
before leaving the nurseries. All nurs
ery stock from outside the state is held
at the depots of Idaho and inspected
before being permitted to be planted.
I have found it necessary to burn up
at least one-third of the nursery stock
shipped Into Idaho from outside nurs
eries, because their stock was diseased.
In some parts of Idaho it has been
found necessary to burn up half the
nursery stock shipped into Idaho from
outside nurseries, because they were
diseased."
Mr. Ashby exhibited samples of va
rious kinds of tree diseases, and ex
plained them and their effects. "One
pair of woolly aphis is callable « f
propogating three tons of aphis in a
single season," he said. "Take a spade
and dig around the roots of trees af
fected with aphis, and spray around
the base of tlm trees with a lime and
sulphur solution.
"It is well worth anyone's while o
own your own miseroscope and study
out your own orchard condition. It
will save you a good deal of loss. The
microscope I use cost me $1.25. When
you get in a shipment of trees it is
well for you to be at the depot when
the inspector inspect., your trees.
"When you get your nursery stock,
T would advise you to dip those trees
in a one to eight solution of lime and
sulphur. I would not take to my or

and burn the twigs and sacks. Dis

in the afternoon, because then the

you are then more certain to get all

"Willow and cottonwood trees and

PRISONERS ENJOYING
MUSIC AT THE JAIL
Behind the steel baps nf the Ada
county jail a dozen men joined in the
singing of "My Baby Rose" and other
songs to the accompaniment of the
player-piano sent to the jail by Filers'
Piano house.
Under the skillful hands of Charles
Jackson, a federal money order forger,
all of the popular music of the day
was rendered. The leadership of the
prison chorus was entrusted to Joe
Carrol, charged with white slavery,
and he led the men through the mazes
of the music and brought them out
on the chorus with such a volume
that it would have done good to the!
hearts of any L ader of the choral so - ;
c loties of the city. With their hands
resting on the heavy liars of t hi
.strong box. the men who ape ennsid-j
ered the most desperate characters in
'the prison listened as the music was!
wafted to them and joined their voices!
ms Carrol's leadership directed them.j
His face shining for the fin t tlrne)^
since he has been in jail, Oliver Bates,
charged v ith white slavery, "tripped
Hie light fantastic" around the narrow
< onflnes of his steel bound cell and
threw his strong voice in on the chorus
J;-s the notes of "My Baby Hose" came
through the open door to the strong
box of the Jail.
The men in prison are enjoying to
the limit the player that had been sent
to th* 1 jail for the benefit of Messrs.
Sheridan, Broxon ami Cruzeii. sen
tenced for contempt of the supreme
court of the state. "Alexander's Uag
Time Band'' and other favorites have.
been played time and again through;
the day while the man sentenced for
frrgery has no time to even take- a
rest away from the instrument. It's
a », Jack, come in and giv e us a tune"
through nearly every hour of the day.
And the prison trusty never fails to re
spond to the call from the men who
nevt r leave their cells from the time
they enter until they are discharged.
