O'Gurn wiih retained hy tho progrcs niva up-to-diito orchurdists of Jack son county as consulting pathologist mid clomologlst, By his advice many important changes have been imido until today Jackson county boasts of the most modern horlicul lural nudhods, Not tho least iin piulmil of tho many things accom plished by Professor O'Garti has been thn introduction of scientific ethoilrt for tho protection of or chimin fioni frout injury, This nr tide does not intend to cover the inniiy unisons advanced by Profes sor b'Gum for advocating tho use of smiulgo pots with oil for fuel against the primitive methods )u 'oguo u few years ago. Enough In May that thu prominent orchard men of Ilia vnlloy are falling in line, with (ho result Hint many innovations have been made during the last year. IMobahly the must htaitliug of these has hecu the erection of a plant ut the Pat mor oichnrd two miles south of Medford adjoining tho famous Hear Creek Orchard, for the special purposo of combatting frost injiuy during the dnugorous period ench spring, Realizing Ihu need for mod ern 1'iosl fighting equipment, 'Mr. Ifonoro Palmer of Chicago, through Mr, W.

Carrying out the ideas of speedy distribution Mr. Pnlraor has furnish ed four oval tanks with u enpneity of twelvo barrels each.
