For all of these reasons tractors are 

 coming to be the standard power unit 

 in commercial orcharding sections. The 

 horses' day is past for this work. 



Wenatchee Crop Big 



THERE need be no fear of a short 

 crop in the Wenatchee section. A 

 survey just completed by District Hor- 

 ticultural Inspector Darlington and his 

 staff indicates that by far the largest 

 crop ever produced in north central 

 Washington may be looked for, estimat- 

 ing a yield of 15,139 cars of winter 

 apples and 1070 cars of soft fruit. 



Comparing with former apple crops, 

 it is found that 1920 produced only 

 9,358 cars and 1919, 12,358 cars. The 

 soft fruit crop indicated for 1921 is: 

 peaches, 250 cars; pears, 500 cars; ap- 

 ricots, 125 cars; cherries, 125 cars; 

 plums and prunes, 70 cars.

The KIMBALL CULTIVATOR— and a Perfect Mulch! 



How to Use the Kimball to Keep 

 Your Orchard in Perfect Condition 



The first thing in the spring, as soon as the ground 

 is dry enough it should be well plowed or disced both 

 ways, or diagonal if the trees are planted in that man- 

 ner. 



The rest of the season nothing is needed but the 

 KIMBALL, which should be run over the ground at 

 least twice each month during the summer, or as 

 soon as the ground is dry enough after a hard rain or 

 after irrigation. 



This will break up the crust and stop evaporation, 

 for when the soil bakes and opens in cracks is the 

 time of the greatest evaporation.
