FIRE'BLIGHT IS STAMPED OCT.
O. A. C Experts Wipe Out Pest Entire
ly at Hood River.
Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lts, Oregon, July 25. "Remarkable re
sults have been obtained In Hood riv
er by the college experts in eradicat
lng fire blight.' said Dean A. B. Cord-
ley of the Oregon agricultural college
today, discussing the progress of this
branch of the pest eradication work of
the institution. . '
'Tire blight was first reported to
this experiment station from Hood
Rher last fall, and Prof. H. S. Jack
son of our department of plant path
ology spent some two weeks with Mr.
Cassner, their county fruit inspector.
and the corps of Inspectors In locating
the disease and cutting It out as thor
ing more ice cream Uian any city in
the world. No less than 310,000 gal
lons of this summer delicacy are be
ing consumed daily here. Just what
the weekly consumption of more than
2,000,000 gallons amounts to ig Bhown
by the fact that if all of It were piled
up In Madison Square it would be suf
ficient to make & huge cone with
base 50 feet cross tapering to a point
more than three hundred feet in the
air, or nearly half as high as the Met
ropolitan towr. This huge mass. If
it could be kept, from melting, would
be sufficient to reduce the temperature
of Madison Square and the neighbor
hood to. near the freezing point. It
would ' ncessltate the starting of ail
the furnaces In the big office buildings,
clubs and residences. To transport
this huge mass of cream from the fac
tories to the dumping ground in Madi
son Squire 'would require over 600 j
two team wagons every day for a week,;
or 4,420 big wagons, each one having
a capacity of 500 gallons. This pro
cession of Ice rceam wagons would be
very much longer than the coronation
parade. If one day's output was placed
in one gallon 'Ins and laid along the
ground like a pipe line, it would be
73 1-2 miles In leng.h. Altogether
Father Knickerbocker's Ice cream ap
petite is truly gigantic.

"Oregon hag demonstrated, through
the eradication of fire, blight at Hood

fact that she has at least two of the
most progressive fruit growing sec
tions in the entire country," said
Dean Cordley. "

last week for a severe case or eppei

at a hospital In Boise, Idaho.
Hla hide when first removed weighed
1,200 pounds and mon hs were spent in
the delicate task of scraping it down
to the last degree of thinness compati
ble with strength, at the end of which
operation the weight was reduced o 6
pounds. It takes someth:ng more than
a taxidermist to mount a Skin of this

required for the skin l not stuffed but

has been prepared to fit it exactly. The
task of making these models so that
the skin will fit every wrinkle and

difficult one. Tho"sands of measure
