DISEASES OX FRUIT ARE SPREAD . IXC, SAYS WKJTER. Turner Oliver Obsenes Some Things About Conditions. La Grange, Ore., Aug. 20, (To the Editor) The orchard business Is rap- They propagate with marvelous rapid' Ity, and eat through the blossoms into the sap of the tree and teed along down the branch toward tbe body of the tree, mere Is no possible way of reaching them by spray, as they are protected by tbe branch ofetaSHKD protected by the bark of the tree, but their presence can always be known because the tree branch dies bo far as they have eaten. The only way to get rid of them, at present known, is to cut off tbe branch below tho dis eased part, which will free the tree from the disease, and 'mmediately burn up the cuttings, which will de stroy tbe animals themselves, if the Idly becoming one of the chief Indus- i portions cut off are left without being destroyed, flying insects will soon car ry them again to the tree; and, when tries of the county, aqd all people who have orchards planted are Interested in having tbe same free from pests. Fire blight Is the worst disease that can get among our pears and apples, be cause it not only destroys the crop but kills the trees. This disease first ap peared in New York and was scatter ed from .there to various parts of the United States. It reached Oregon about five years ago and attacked pear and apples trees In Rogue River valley, Hood River valley and in Walla Wal la valley about the same time. The people of Rogue River and Hood Riv er valleys took up the matter vigor ously and in one season stamped It out completely and effectively. The peo ple of Milton were careless and indif ferent and the disease spread from there to the Grande Ronde. Experts from the state agricultural college cal led the attention of our people to this orchard disease three years ago, at which time the biigni appeareu m some orchards in Union. La Grande th tree is badly contaminated," the wind carries them from one branch to another and even from one tree to an other. If the orchardlst in cutting off the diseased part of a tree, falls to cut low enough, but cuts through where the animals are living, myriads of them will be on his knife blade and If J this blade is then used on a sound branch, the little animals are wiped off on the sound branch and will im mediately take hold and propagate and will soon kill the sound branch, For this reason the' expert will dip his blade in a disinfecting solution after every cutting. Carbolic acid la a very good disinfectant, but orchard Is ts have found that almost any kind of poison ous spray used for the codling moth or aphis is effective and very Inex pensive. Anyone can recognise . the fine blight, because it always appears first at the ends of the branches, which soon turn brown as it scorched by a fire, and can always tell how far the A SCHOOL OF QUALITY.

Three easily avoided errors cause all fbe barm posslhle f.nin rending 'lying down, tbe Hint often leading to- tbe other two. Thejv are Insufficient or wrongly directed light. h;:rt rending distance and tipping tbe book out of tbe plane at right angles to tbe line of vision. .
