Constitutional League. Fairbanks al
so seeks to prevent Attorney General
Palmer from enforcing the amend
ment under the Volstead act. Both
Colby and Palmer have been ordered
to show cause July 13 why the mo
tion should not be granted.
The basis of proceedings in the
matter is the claim that ratifica
tion of the sufrrage amendment by
West Virginia legislature was Illegal,
because It was accomplished by fraud
and that the proposed ratification by
the Tennessee legislature will also
be Illegal on the ground that the
legislature has no authority under
the state constitution to act on the

Drop of From 12 to 10 Cents
Pound Fatal to Growers
Who Did Not Contract.
NO INCREASE IN SIGHT
Market Conditions are Re(ionihle
for the Decrease in Price Which
Is Xonr Reported to be the Same
Over tho Entire- State.
Small cherry growers who failed
to procure early contracts with the
cannery company, have lost cents
per pound ou their crop and will
possibly lose more unless a contract
is secured at once or the charrie-s
disposed of through 'some o:her
means. From the opeuinK price of 12
cents, chortles have dropped to 10
rents and are threatening to go still
lower. The price Is uniform over the
entire state and the outlook Is no
promising.
Growers having small orchards
wore not approached for contracts
this year and had expected to dispose
of their cherries at the top price of
12 cents per pound. Contracts were
made by the cannery company with
some of the larger growers to Insure
sufficient amount cir cherries for
the season's run and a large enough
output to fill orders made certain.
Beyond that point the company has
made no effort to contract cherries,
but are buying them as they are be
ing brought in. The price, however,
dropped to 10 cents simultaneously
over the entire state and cherries
which were not purchased at the
opening price are being bought at the
rate now in force.
This caused some of tho growers
who were unable to secure the top
price to take the matter up with the
local organizations, but the company
states that there can be no Increase
In price and probably tho price will
decrease.
This is due, it in stated, to a much
larger cherry crop than had been ex
pected, and a slump In market- con
ditions. The same conditions that are
facing the prune market are pre
vailing In other fruit lines. In the
face of constantly decreasing prices
he cannery company cannot buy tho
higher priced (fruit, and are waiting
until their sales are assured before
Quoting prices to the growers.
"In the Willamette valley, the
cherry crop has been enormous,1
said A. J. Geddes, manager of the
local A. Rupert cannery. "The crop
will be much bigger than had been
expected and the fruit must be dis
posed of in a market that is unsteady
and uncertain. Market conditions this
vear are very unsatisfactory and the
cannery companies are very cautious
In their buying, with the drop in tne
prices. We are In a position to take
care of oil cherries brought to us anil
expect to continue buying at the 10
cent rate. We are at the height of
our run. and expect to continue on
this fruit for some time yet. The
cherries this year are fine and very
plentiful. We are doing all In our
oower to protect the growers and to
give them the best price obtainable,
and will continue to follow this pol
icy In our dealings with the growers
of the Umpqua valley."
Rupert Cannery
Cans Cherry Crop
With the rush of the cherry cann
ing! season on, the cannery of the A.
Rupert company presents a decided
ly busy appearance this week. Near
ly a hundred local girls and women
are employed there at the present
time and are engaged In stemming
the cherries and sorting the logan
lierrles. The work la-carried on in a
most svstematlc manner and Is very
interesting to watch. After the stems
have been removed from the fruit, it
's then carried to a large machine,
which thoroughly washes It. From
that machine they are placed In th"
cans, and run through a pressure of
steam. The lis are then put on and
sealed, and the cans are then placed
m lnree vats of boiling water, which
cooks snd preserves the fruit. Mr. A.
J. Geddes. mansger. ana A. J. row
nell. superintendent are pleased with
the progress being made with the
canning and state that tho crop wilt
bo taken care of In record time.

Anthracnose Threatens to Kill
Young Orchards Unless
Prompt Action Taken.
TREES ARE CRIPPLED
hint Pathologist Gives Complete
Account of the Action of the
Disease now Attacking Or.
" chard 9 in tho Connt.y - '
By Prof. H. P. Bans,
Chief Plant PatboHglst. O. A. C.
There is no more promising apple
growing section I know of than right
In the Umpqua valley, but if the
anthracnose were allowed to take
Its course a large number of the fine
young orchards would be rendered
worthless in al)OUt three years. The
present rapid increase In the amount
of disease Is due to the failure df the
growers last fall to spray in time.
This was in a large measure duo to
conditions that could not be helped.
but this year, with the tremendous
Increase In the number of cankers
ready to dlssomlnate the trouble far
ther, growers must get ahead of the
disease, or tho disease will surely
get ahead of them. ;
Many trees are now so crippled
that growers are wondering whether
or nut to cut them down. This ex
treme measure, however, will be ad
visable In but few cases, for by care
fully following the Instructions giv
en and the advice of the county Vruit
Insnector. such trees can usually be
saved and made profitable ag:fln In
a year or two.
There have been many orchards
further north that have been brought
hack successfully after suftorlng the
anthracnose damage worse than any
in the recent Douglas county visit.
Many Hood and Willamette valley
orchards are now facing conditions
even more serious on account of the
rapidity with which the disease has
spread, in treeze-lnjuied tres and
heroic if forts are going to be made to
stop tfurt her spread, .From the spirit
manifested by the Umpqua Growers
it is evident that the anthracnose Is
going to bo placed on the retired list
after this season In the Garden val
ley, Sutherlin and othor sections
where it is now threatening the life
of the orchards.
The Nature of the Disease.
The microscopic spores are dis
charged through the canker bark
from the Httle cracks appearing on
the surface. These are always form
ing on the trees. They are carried by
Insects, washed and spattered by the
rain and wafted about In the air.
They alight on the bark, germinate,
send a tiny thread Into the bark, and
then the fungus spreads out slowly
In the surface of the bark, growing
there all winter and killing the bark
as It spreads. At tlrst a small, round
dark spot appears. This grows In size
and assumes an oval shape. There a
number of Infections occur close to
gether, they may unite and kill large
arena of bark, often girdling large
limbs. After once getting Into the
bark no spray can stop the spread of
the fungus. All sprays are, therefore,
for prevention oi ly and not for cure.
When the trees begin to get active
In the spring, they put an Impene
trable wall between the cankers and
the healthy bark, and the cankers
no longer can spread, although the
full effect of elrullng may not appear
till later on when the branches be
gin to wither and shrink up. A erack
finally appears getween the canker
and the healthy bark, and the dead
bark becomes sunken, making the
rankers more evident. In early sum
mer the spore pimples begin to form
and by the time the fall rains first
appear, the spores are being pushod
out osf the little cracks on the canker
surface ready to spread the disease.
Every fall for two or three years old
canker bark will produce new crops
of spores. This will happen If the
limbs have even been piled up on the
brush heap. That is one roason why
ail brush and trimmings In an an
thracnose Infected orchard must all
be burned. A knowledge of how fun
gus acts and spread shows us bow
the methods of control must be
handled. Our understanding of the
disease and Its prevention Is due
largely to the work of one man.

delegates should keep their money
In their pockets when riding on the
street cars of Ban Francisco. Things
passed along to the nomination of
Governor James M. Cox, of Ohio,
when the second big demonstration
of the day broke loose. Led by a
yell leader, the galleries were car
ried away with the Cox demonstra
tion, while the main floor reminded
you of a Fourth of July celebration
or a .carnival. The song of the
Oh loans, aided by Uda Waldrop on
the organ, playing "Dldn t He Ram

Then a Maryland Joined the parade,
the organ played "Maryland. My
Maryland." Kentucky, Mississippi
and Alaska Jolitt d In the march, "We
beat Hnrding before, and we're
bound to do It again," then the ram
ble song, "We'ro bound to do or

Cox's nomination with a fine apeeCi.
Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi.
In a thrilling speech, seconds Cox's
nomination. He also takes a rsp at
the Frisco papers that are trying to
influence the convention. "Give 'em
the other barrel," yells one, and the
Ohio bunch are all up yelling for
Cox. Then he praised the sincere
hospitality of California, and the
hand plays. "I Love You, Califor

makes some music you cannot help
but be enthused.
Now Minnesota yields to New
York, and the venerable Burke
Cochran la hailed with cheers as he
begins his wonderful oratory. The
best by far of any speech of the day.
He nominates Governor Al Smith, of
New York. A big demonstration fol

tribute more to Cochran than Smith.
Franklin D. Moosrvelt seconded the
nomination, as did Mrs. Lillian R.
Sire, of New Ysrk, with a rousing

Now Itev. Burrls Jenkins In a few
brief words announced that he de

not In a speech. "We shall draft him
for the service of the country," said
Jenkins, snd there Is much yelling
"And we know that If ho is so draft

Any telegrams saying he will not ac

Now beings at 6:45 the biggest
demonstration of the convention, and
In tho line of march there Is a scrap
for the Missouri standard: "
broken In the fray, but the scraps of
the Missouri stnndard are In line. A
Confederate veteran got on th
sneaker's desk and waved a lone stsr
flag, doing a dance. Oregon was one
of the first In line, R. R. Turner
and Lee M. Travis dividing the hon
ors of carrying 'be standard. The

followed. After another fight lb
standard of Illinois Is broken and
the pieces are carried up to the
front, where the standards are waved
from the sneaker's platform, while
the bands and organ whoop up the
McAdoo demonstration. This Is the
real enthusiasm, as there are no
fixed or pre-arranged squads for
demonstration noise. It Is general
over the whole auditorium. The Mc
