FARMERS' INSTIUTE OVER
The Orange Hull Farmers' institute
Is over, but the results of it will sur
vive for long. There were muny In
structive features about the day and
evening sessions, but Prof. O. I. Lewi.
(,f Curve. Ills, lecture on "Horticulture"
In perhaps the most Important one
from a Grande Ronde valley stnnd-
n.ii.it of any of them. First reviewing
the enormity of production by Oregon
orchard lands, he went at some lengtn

speaker during his evening address.
He pointed out how the tree will head
lower and permit easier cultivation,
from 28 to S3 feet apart is the proper
distance to plant the tree. As regards
pruning he suggested that , If
growth goes too much to wood,
pruning should be done early, about
June 1. The various manners in graft
ing, the proper time and the most
practical method, occupied much of
some of the speakers time.
A strong- point which he emphasized
was not to Irrigate too much. It pro
duced a soggy and ill-flavored apple.
One irrigation is general enough. In
connectionwlth his topic of packing
apples he ventured the assertion that
Oregon gives better attention to pick
ing a uniform size and evenly colored
fruit than any other state 'In the union.
Professor Lewis' address was the
feature of the evening session. Other
numbers on the program for the final
session were:
Sons, by Grange chorus.
Recitation. Miss Letha Huffman.
Solo, Alex Robinson,
Stereopticon views, by college pro
