WEDNESDAY PROGRAM IS GOOD
Large Crowd and Good Program on
First Day— Rest W ill Be
Given Next Week
Wednesday, the first day of the
farmers' Chautauqua, was a decided
success. One of the speakers, W. O.
Allen, of Salem, was unable to be
present, so Prof. A. G. Bouquet oc
cupied the time otherwise allotted to
Mr. Allen, In answering questions of
general interest In gardening. Prof.
Bouquet brought out the necessity of
planning the garden so as to have a
succession of vegetables the entire
year. Then he went Into details on
the various garden pests and their
control.
He emphasized the value
of good seeds, properly selected and
acclimated. Then he spoke on Irri
gation and cultivation and the neces
sity of keeping the growing veget
ables healthy and growing constant
ly. He recommended in purchasing
young plants to be set out to get vig
orous, well grown even ones, even if
somewhat higher priced, as it would
pay in the long run. He especially
advised planting a bed o f aspar-'
ague and the forcing rhubarb, which
can be grown In total darkness.
After Prof. Bouquet’s address the
meeting adjourned for lunch, to be
called to order at 1:30 p. in. for an
address by Prof. Barss of O. A. C. on
diseases of the fruit.
Prof. Barss
handled his subject in a very able
manner, taking up the several dis
eases of t|ie apple and the pear and
dealing shortly on small fruits. He
gave a very clear treatise on the ap
ple scab. Its method of development,
and the spraying and work necessary
for Its control. He treated on cod-
llpg moth, scale. In fact all the com
mon pests and diseases of the apple
and pear and their control, time of
¿praying, etc. He laid stress upon
the fact that no orchardlst need ex
pect to succeed unless be controlled
the diseases that have come with the
commercial orchard work. He spoke
a short time on spraying logans and
the prevention of "die-back" in this
industry.
Prof. Baras expressed it as his
hope that a better system of inspec
tion would be worked out for Port
land in,order to prevent the Intro
duction:^ of new fruit diseases Into
this northwestern fruit district. Sev
eral questions were asked bringing
out various phases of the spraying
game.
Following the address by Prof.
Barss, C. D. Brewster of the Kerr,
Gifford company of Portland gave a
very interesting talk on "Poultry.”
Mr. Brewster is a master of his sub
ject and showed it In a practical way.
He outlined poultry raising in gen
eral. but laid especial emphasis on
feeding. He gave the values of the
various grains, the necessity of hav
ing proteins, etc., to make a bal
anced ration and form the different
Ingredients of the eggs.
There was a good attendance and
a keen Interest shown by all. The
program was under the auspices of
the Newberg Farmers’ club and with
Mr. Newhouse as chairman in the
forenoon and W. V. Dolph in the af
ternoon, things were carried out in
& most creditable manner. The var
ious clubs can be congratulated in
starting this movement, and the able
way in which it Is being handled.
