By W. S. Thornber, Consulting Orchardist, Lewiston, 



THE orchard industry of the North- 

 west, Hke all other industries of its 

 kind, is passing through a series of 

 periods all of which will eventually 

 contribute to the permanent good of 

 the fruitman. Those best posted upon

have watched with interest "The One 

 Spray for Codling Moth," "The Lime- 

 Sulphur for Scale," "The Open-Vase 

 System of Pruning," "The Absolutely 

 Clean Cultivation Advocate," "The 

 Grass-Mulch Orchardist," and now 

 comes the "Orchard Inter-Cropper" as 

 the fulfillnient of the law for all evils. 

 i:ach of these phases has had its part 

 in the great industry and each has left 

 a mark for good; however not one of 

 them has been able to succeed under 

 all conditions. Nor must we expect the 

 last, if not the greatest, to do all that 

 is expected of it. High-priced land, ex- 

 pensive water rights, costly orchard 

 tillage and the long wait between the 

 planting of an orchard and the realiza- 

 tion of returns, coupled with the low 

 prices received for fruit during the past 

 four or five years, have materially fos- 

 tered the seeking of returns from the 

 orchard land of the Northwest during 

 the development period of the orchard 

 and also during seasons of low prices 

 or small crops. 



.\s I see orchard inter-cropping, I see 

 a sidution for one of the most serious 

 l)hases of the industry, and that is a 

 method whereb>' the cost of product ion 

 and orchard management might l)e re- 

 duced to a minimum. There is abso- 

 lutely no reason why in any of our 

 best orchard districts that, after the 

 hind and water right have been pur- 

 chased, the orchard itself should not be 

 made to pay all operating expenses, 

 taxes and annual water dues by some 

 means of inter-croi)i)age, and in the 

 ease of small areas like ten-acre tracts 

 almost if not completely support the

orchardist and his family during the 

 development period. In the case of the 

 bearing orchard, inter-crops should be 

 made to so rciluce the operating ex- 

 penses that the fruit sold as extra fancy 

 grade should always mean net profit, 

 and never have to be used to pay neces- 

 sary expenses. Management of this 

 kind will make successful orcharding.
