(BY CLAUDE C CATE.) County Agriculturist.) Judging from the reports received from other sections of Oregon and Washington, blight Is ravaging the pear and apple orchards in a serious form in many districts, and in some cases many acres of trees have been practically ruined already this 'sea son. Growers of fruit trees of Union county should lie encouraged and thereby benefited, by the fact that, in every case where the most damage has been done, no concerted action or community cooperation is in evidence in these infested districts. And this fact or condition is in direct keeping witn tne Ms tcry of this disease and its effects. That is to say that very lit tle attention is given to this disease until it develops to such an extent, that financial ruin faces a large number of the fruit growers, and the whole industry is threatened with destruction. Then it is that mass meetings of the tax payers are called, speeches are made pro and con, bit ter feelings among neighbors are ex- Cook in a cool kitchen A eood oil stove will do away with the swelter and discomfort of a blazing hot ranee. Get an oil stove this summer and do your kitchen work in comfort. The New Perfection OIL COOK STOVE does all that any wood or coal stove will do. It bakes, broils, roasts and toasts perfectly. The long chimneys concentrate the heat just under the utensils. It is not wasted or thrown out into the room. The New Perfection doesn t smoke or smell; doesn't taint the food. It burns kerosene, the clean, cheap fuel. Think of the comfort no coal or wood to lug; no ashes to dirty the kitchen. Ask your dealer for the JNew reflection.

Union County Co-Operative Store I perienced, , scientists are called to i lecture and advise methods of eradi j cution, appropriations are made : and in some places not far from here j appropriations to exceed fifteen thousand dollars have been made to j carry on the war against this foe. The lesson that we can learn from other sections less fortunate than ' the Grande Ronde --valley ought to 'be instilled into the minus of every 'tree owner in the Union county, to j teach us to take every advantage of the experience of others, and above ' all things, take advantage of the ! local conditions as they present themselves at this time. I The condition of the Grande j Ronde valley, taking every thing into consideration, will never be better for the complete control and nrohahln eradication of pear and apple blight, than it is at the present time. In our spring campaign untold benefit has been derived from the general clean up of the holdover blight. The favorable sentiment and attitude of the people in taking hold of this work, and the exceptionally favorable weather conditions for the suppres sion of a general spread of blight that we have experienced so far this season, are conditions and facto that may never be correlated for years to come. We have, spent money and energy so far this spring and apparently good results have re warded our efforts, but all may be lost in a fortnight, and a repetition only of greater magnitude be at tempted another season, ir tree owners do not work hand in hand for the next few weeks in cutting out the new blight that we are bound to have. New blight can be found in most all the orchards, if careful ex amination is made of your trees you will find frut and twigs that are be ginning to wilt, begin work as soon as this condition is noticed. Cut out and burn all wilted branches, disin fect tools and wounds with corrorsive sublimate. Be sure to cut far below all evidences of the disease. The blighted fruit spurs and twigs ooze very copiously at this season though not wilted to any noticeable extent. The ooziner is more dantrer- ous during rainy and moist weather and the sooner it is taken and burned 'the less blight we will have in the future. The blieht eerm has been working ever since the blossom ing period and may not show very serious effects for a few days unless we have some very hot weather fol lowing a rain. When the effects of the blight germ do appear, don't say or think that blight struck us over night, or that it was caused by an electric storm. It is neanng the time when its effects are to be ex pected and a rain followed by hot days will cause a general wilting of affected parts. Be ready to cut as fast as it appears, cease cultivating and irrigation and let blight receive all the attention for a while. One dny's work now means many later on.
