MANY NURSERY
SHIPMENTS COMING
County Fruit Inspector Says
Will be Big Increase in
Number of Orchards. .
A FUTURE IN! BERRIES
Mr. Armstrong Says There Is a Big
Opportunity for Growers of
Iterry PlanU for Hlilpmeiit

County Fruit Inspector E. C. Arm
strong u being kept' exceptionally
busy inspecting nursery stock. Mr.
Armstrong reports tluu more new
stock is coming in this year than baa
been brought to Douglas county tor
many years past. Several hundred
acres will be, put out Into new or
chards during the season, he states.
and the growth of the orchards lu
the county will be surprising.
In regard to diseased stock, Mr.
Armstrong states that there was
quite a large number of bad trees
shipped in early but that the return
of a few diseased shipments quickly
led to an improvement of the stock
sent. !
"During the early part of the sea
son," he said, "we nau some trouDie.
It appears that there are a few nur
sery companies that endeavor to get
rid of their cull stock on territories
where Inspection Is not strict. As
soon as we had caused them to lose
some of these bad trees the quality
was Immediately Improved. Wher
ever the trees are thoroughly in
spected the companies are careful to
send only the best ot tueir siock,
and we have had litt-le trouble dur
ing the past month."
Mr. Armstrong states tnai mere i
big ooDortunity In Douglas county
for those who desire to make money
In the growing of berries. He refers
nartlcularlv to strawberries where he
states that there Is a strong demand
for young plants. In the Willamette
vallebundreds of acres are devoted
to the wrowlng of young strawberry
plants, which are taken up while
young and shipped but a carload at a
time to purcnaaers in various uano
of the country.
The Oregon berrvjj especially de
manded in certain localities and
many nersons have made a large
amount of money growing plants for
shipment. For this industry Douglas
county Is admirably situated.. The
climatlcal conditions are such that
the Douglas county strawberry ma
tures two weeks ahead of the re
mainder of the state. This means
that the Douglas county plant can be
placed on the market two weeks
ahead of those from any other sec
tion. The demand for the Douglas
county strawberry is unlimited and
there is no doubt about the success of
the market.
There Is also a great opportunity
offered in the growing of grapes. Mr.
Armstrong states. Grapes can bo
shipped to the Portland market In a
fresh condition or can be processed.
A new method of processing grapes
has been discovered by J. C. Holt, at
Eugene, the natural flavor of the
grape being retained instead of the
cooked taste. There was a big de
mand for grapes last year and there
will be a heavier demand In the fu
ture, Mr. Armstrong states.

Tiller. Resident
Commits Suicide
Joe Miller, an aged resident of the
Tiller section, committed suicide
yesterday morning In his cabin three
miles from Tiller. He was found at
noon dead In his rocking chair by the
stove, by a young man who has been
rooi.ilng at the cabin. The stock of
his 30-32 rifle was resting on t he
floor and the barrel on the arm of
the chair, the bullet having pene
trated his left eye. going through tht
head and out at the back of the neck.
It is thought by Coroner Rllter, who
was called from this city, that the
old man committed suicide. Accord
ing to the statement made .by the
young man who found him, he had
been despondent for the past few
weeks owing to the fact that he had
no money, and had not been able to
prove up on his claim. The two had
been living in the cabin together, af
their claims adjoined.
Miller had lived in the vicinity or
Tiller for the past eleven years. Dur
ing the early part of this week he
had visited at the Tiller store and
mentioned the fact that ho could nol
prove up on his claim. Mr. Norman,
of the Tiller store, then told him that
later he would come out and make
n Inspection of the claim and would
probably arrange to loan him the
money to prove up on it. Miller was
65 years of age, and Is survived by
a brother, I. I. Miller, of Kansas
City. A letter has been sent nim re
lating the details of the occurrence
Miller was buried at Tiller this morn-
ng and no investigation will be
made.
