HAPPENINGS FROM 8IX SPRAYINGS NEEDED. Corvslll Msn Qivss Program for Up- to-Ost Orcherdlsts. Portland - Professor John C. Brid- well, head of the department of en tomology at the Oregon Agricultural college, speaking before the Apple Culture elubtm the subject of "The Insect Pest of Young Orchards," dwelt on the different pests which in fect the orchard of the Willamette valley and outlined moan for their ex termination. The iteculiaritic and habit of the following posts were described: San Jose scale, wooly aphis, apple and wheat aphis, brown apple aphis, apple trce borers, grasahoppera and climbing cut worms. In tolling of the proper sprays to be used In the battle against fruit tree pests, he said : The aummer etrcngth lime sprsy should be diluted 24 time and the win- tor strvnirth 12 time. Lead srsenate should be used in the proportion of two bounds to every CO gallon of material 'A regular routine oi six spray is almost necessary to prevent the rsv aeea of oesU in the Willamette valley. The first snrsy for the scab should be applied when the petals begin to show color: the second spray for codlin moth and scab after the petals have fallen; the third sprsy of lime sulphur for scab alone two weeka after the aec ond sprsy; the fourth sprsy of lead arsensto about July 1 for the coal in moth; the fifth apray should be used In winter strength, after the fruit is nicked. The apple ire borers louna in healthy tree ar round-headed. Flat- headed borers are found only in un healthy treea. The best way to pre vent the work of the borer hi to wrap newaMipers sround the trunks of the treea. In order to keep the San Jose scale from spreading, all young atock sold should bear a certificate of inspection, and all atock not Inspected should, be rejected and not planted." U. of O. Ha Orator.

Portland -Members of th Portland Apple Growers club were afforded an opportunity to listen to two addresses at the regular meeting at the Y. M, C. A. recently. M. O. Lownsdsle, of La fayette, owner of on of the Urgent apple orchards In the Willamette val ley and having 30 years' experience in raising apples, was the first speaker. He was followed by an addres by Dr. 8. A. Robinson, vice-president of the State Horticultural society of Virginia, and a member of the Royal society of England. Dr. Robinson tolling why Oregon applea bring the higheat price in the market of the world said in part; "You in Oregon sr being taught to underestimate your competitor. There are a number of section which you must take Into account Canada, along the St. Lawrence river and around the Great Lakes, Nova Scotia and few other section are as productive as the Pacific Northwest and while the applea of these section do not compare with the first and second pack of Oregon they are a good commercial apple. But your apples are the beat and it ia be cause they are the beat that they draw the great price. "The production of strictly fsncy apple will never be overdone. They will always meet demand command ing a high price, both because of the small area fitted for such apple and on account of the increasing popula tion which is demanding the highest priced applea. In New York City few years ago I aaw apple piled on the docks, simply glutting the market snd with a greater quantity sent in than ever before. They were being sold good commercial apple for 76 cent a barrel. Two trainloada of ap ples were left standing unopened. But with this glutted market Oregon ap ple were being held at $3.60 to $4.00 a bushel box and the dealers were glad to get them at that price. That ahows the way Oregon apple are thought of in the East and what will be paid for the very beat "Now. I am from Virignia, where we can grow a very high grade of ap ple. But there 1 no fear of Virginia being competitor of your lor gen eration at least. The reason I wouia give a hereditary inertia although there are some who msy auo u notw worm.' At any rate, wey win noi develop their land and the proprietor of the soil, the son and grandsons of slaveowners, have such a great amount of personal individuality that they cannot be msde to co-operate, and co operation such aa you have at Hood River is an absolute essential to the success of the apple industry.
