MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, ,TUNE 2.1, 1910. GREAT RESULTS OBTAINED BY PRECOOLING EXPERT WITH ROGUE RIVER VALLEY FRUIT C. E. Whislor, manager of the Hour Crock orchards, "who sent George 11. Powell, tho government's prceooling sport, 24 boxes of pears last sen eon for experimental purposes, hn roceivod tho follewing: report on ttiero, which shows tho quality of the Stoguc River fruit: United States Dopartmout of Agri culture, Bureau of Plant Industry, "Washington, D. C, Juno 14, 1910. Mr. C. B. Whlsler, manager Bear Crook orchards, Mcdford, Or. Dear Sir: You arc correct In supposing that tho penrs sent us for storage exper iments "have passed to the great be yond," but It was only tho 25th of May that wo turned off tho last ones. A report on them should have been made Immediately after that date, but K has been overlooked In our rush o( -work. Wo thank you for calling our attention to this matter. In order to give you in tho most onclse form the fullest report pos sible on this fruit, I am sending you opies of our notes made on tho same. Tho fruit was stored with tho Mer chants' Refrigerating company of Jer sey City, N. J., at a temperature of 32' degrees, and unless otherwiso spec ified, Inspections were made at the storago house. At tho time of several f the later Inspections it wa3 Imprac ticable to inspect tho fruit at Jersey City, and somo of tho boxes were with drawn and forwarded here. As might bo expected of the three lots of Bartletts, the ono stored at the earliest date, August 31st, hold for a longer period than the others. In feet the third lot stored on Septem ber 17th, was in practically the same condition October 2d aj the lot stored August 31. gj -Tho final inspection of Buerro 4'Anjou was made February 5, when the fruit was In prime condition for taraiedlate consumption. This Inspec tion "was made here and the fruit was held In a warm office for five iays longer, when it was still in prlmo condition and of flno quality. Some ef the spots which had been bruised hi express shipment had begun to soften somewhat At this time the fruit was distributed about some of the bureau offices and was greatly appreciated by all. The last two boxes of Bosc were forwarded- to this office April 5 when the fruit was still in fair condition, the flesh being quite firm, only slight shriveling being neticeable: Ono box was Immediately sent to Center Mar ket cold storage and was hold there at a temperature of 32 degrees until May 25. The only change noticeable after this later period of storage was a slight lncrcaso In decay and the ap pearance of scald on a few of tho fruits. Tho quality of tho fruit was only fair nt this tlmo. Tho othor box which was forwarded hero April B was held in a warm office eight days, when tho fruit was past Its commer cial season, soft spots having appear ed, and practically all of the fruit on the outside layers of tho box bolng shrlvoled, particularly around tho stems. Tho Inspection of a box of Inlrgeau forwarded horo from Jersey City February 5 showed tho fruit to bo still firm and green and not yet at the limit of its commercial holding. Owing to tho press of othor business, we were unablo to make another In spection of this fruit until April 5, when It was In rather poor market condition. A great sharo o fit was still hard and green, but considerable decay was showing, somo mold was on the stems and slight shrlvollng of the skin made an unattractive appear ance. At the Inspection of February 5 tho boxes of Cornice wero in about tho samo condition as Clatrgeau except that they wero higher colored and more nearly ripe. No further Inspec tion of this fruit was made until April 5, when fruit from a box forwarded hero from Jorsey City showed up only fair in quality, but otherwiso was in WORK IS GOING AHEAD WITH SOIL SURVEY IN VALLEY A. T. Strahorn, Government Expert, Is Getting His Work Under Way What a Soli Survey Is and Some of Its Benefits. BAPTIST ASS'N A. T. Strahorn, who is in tho val ley for tho purpose ol' milking u soil survey for tho government, is mak ing considerable progress with the work, which will covor about 800 square miles. Practically all lauds with an elevation of less thati 3000 feet will bo surveyed and mapped. The work was commoncod by Mr. Strahorn about two voek9 ago and ho expects to bo employed thereon tho nyU of this soason and tho work will extend over into next yoar, at least. The work to bo done here, he estimates, would take six men five or six months. A soil survey embraces a report of tho area boiug covered uud a map accompauying tho report. Tho re port gives a brief sketch of tho his tory of the settlement and agricul tural development of tho area; tho climato and its rotation to agricul ture; an extended discussion of the agricultural conditions, embracing tho crops grown, methods used in SESSION HER E Thirty-third Annual Medina, of tho Rofluo River Baptist Association Bclnn Held In Local Baptist Church.

After being held a week in a warm office it was badly spotted and decayed, considerable scald had developed and the fruit was entirely unmarketable. In all of the express shipments to this office a considerable number of brown and black spots were noted on tho fruits due to pres- gestions regarding improvements in agricultural practices. This part of the report also deals with tho adaptability of the soil to tho crops and makes recommendations for tho extension of the planted area along this line. "A discussion of the soils follows.

This same spotting was found at the first Inspec tion In boxes which were not lined with paper. No docay was noticeable in the Bpots at first; the discoloration seemed to be simply on the skin, but after holding out of storage decay usually developed from these bruises. As a whole, this fruit showed up to very good advantage, and from our standpoint we consider the results ob tained to amply Justify the experi ment.

KNOX NOT TO SEEK GOVERNOR'S TOGA Scretary Will Not Enter Political Arena In Pennsylvania, But Will Stay With Taft. jHARKISBURG, Pa., June 21.

It also gives tho crops being grown on tho soil, and considers other crops which may profitably he grown. If there are any conditions in tho soil which render it unsuitable to a few, or all crops, these conditions are noted at length, and the best uso of the af fected soil is brought out. When alkali or hardpnn occur in the soils of the area being surveyed they are discussed fully, giving the causes for their presence, their effect-on cultivated plants and tho best methods to he used iu the handling of such soils. Wherovor neccssarv the drainage of the soil is given con sideration, indicating how such soils should bo handled, and tho results to be derived from tho thorough drain age of tho soil. In sections where Irrigation is ex tensively practiced a resume of tho history of irrigation is given, deal ing with tho source and quality of water, how distributed to the land, cost and amount of water available and the manner in which the water is applied.

Tho map accompanying tho re port shows accurately tho location of all roads, trails, streams, lakes, houses nnd nIo show the location nnd extent of every class of soil within the nrca. Those soils arc in closed hv narrow lines and enoh type is indicated hv a single color. Along tho mnrgin of the map is given a lo irend which cnnblcs ono to easily as certain the nnmo of a desired soil. Thus with tho map showing the locations of the soil, and with the report discussing tho soil fully, one is nblo to form nn accurate idea of tho soil conditions and tho value of the soil for crops, and what may ho expected of it when intelligently han dled. In nreas whoro alkali occurs in any considerable amounts a map showing tho oxtcnt, amount nnd locu tion of nlknli in tho nrea accompan ies tho soil map. By tlio uso of this one is mndo acquainted with the nl knli soils and may avoid tho purch asing of such soils, or ownintr them, is given information as to tho best methods of handling thorn. In brief, n soil survey sets forth tho naturo of tho soils, tho best methods of hnndling the snme nna tho crops to which thoy nro best adapted. With this information n land owner is enabled to mnko tho r,est uso of his soil and tho pros pective purchaser has information which will ennblo him to socuro just what ho desires, and to avoid tho selection of land not suited to his needs.
