The diocese has a Catholic population es' j timated at about: 4,000, whose spiri tual neeas are carea ior oy leu uw cesan and seven Franciscan and Re sult priests. The Sisters of St. Francis, St. Dominic and the Most Holy Name of Jesus and Mary, - conduct - five schools and academies. At the .Uma tilla Indian reservation- there are more than 500 Catholic Indians at tended by the Jesuit Fathers of the Rocky Mountain mission, two broth ers of Christian Instruction, and 'eight Sisters of St. Francis.

He proved that a tree will go sixteen feet or more to water. 1 ' I "Third--To spray at the right time not when a spray calendar says to, or when the weather is right, but when the worm requires it. i "Fourth Picking in the right way." That Is, to pick the fruit without bruising it, and to grade out poor quality fruit, thereby prevent.ng ;iti from spoiling good quality fruit. Also ' to leave the stem on apples as they j will keep longer. : ; "Fifth To grade so that a box of. fruit will be as represented. . I "Sixth The proper marketing; the Grande Ronde has a poor reputation, 1 and that to overcome this we must form an association to compel the or chardist to spray, grade and pack un-. der rigid Inspection and never let an exchange or middle man sell for us.. But sell for ourselves and win a rep utation for first class fruit and that when we have done thiB that reputa tion will sell all the fruit we can raise." To prove this he quoted what Hood River sold their apples for In 1912, which was as following: ' 1 70 per cent extra fancy, 25 per cent Taney, 5 per cent common sold at an average of $1.99 for Yellow Newtons, $2.12 for Ark Black, $1.62 for Black Twig, $2.40 for Winter Banana, $2J4 for SplUenberg. $1.60 .for Wagner, t $2.05 tor Ortleys. ' "These sales were made on Hood River's reputation alone, without a salesman or commission man."
