Henry Huff, state horticoitural
{ ingpector, of Sumner, wag oy Vash:
Lon Taland Tuesday looking over
the fruit situntion, He spent part
of the day tnspecting the orchards
from Burton to Vashon and in the
afternoon went to Lisnboula, “at
which place he took the boat to
Tacoma. Mr. Huff is an enthu
sinst over Vashon as a froit dis
trict. Speaking to a News repre
sentative on this question he said ;
*Vashon is the best fruit distriot.
in Western Washingwon, You peo
ple here don’t believe that, do you!
Lt is the truth. I have been over
the state and outside of Yakims
and Wenatchee there are no better
npples raised in the state than o
Vashon. The soil here is ideal fo,
producing a good fruit, with the
finest Huvor. Then for pears none
can compare with the quality thal
18 produced here. Your cherries
are unexcelled any were,
“But your great drawback i the
Lwk of interest by the averag
grower and failure to introduce
modern methods in prowing the
product and inetliciency in spray
ing. Your people should get to
gether and study the methods of
the successful growers in other
1;):1rts of the state. If they do this
they will succeed.
*1 notice the cherry leaf slug is
appearing here To prevent it from
damaging the troe for next sea
son's erop the orchards should be
sprayed at once. Arsenate of lenn
is the best remady and use plenty
of it. Tell your growers to spray
now, and don't put it off.”

tion to construct the railway and
turn it over to the city of Seattle
