J. A. Perry Has a Fine Plant for Put ting Up Spraying Mixtures. ill I R. A. Lambertson of Portland ar rived In Medford a few days ago and Is now out at J. A. Perry's spray plant preparing for the manufacture ot lime and sulphur solution for fruit tree spraying. Mr. Lambertson Is an expert In this line of work and It was ho who was here several weeks ago and superintended the erection of Mr. Perry's plant. This plant has a capacity of two carloads of solution dally, but It Is not expected it will be necessary to run it to Its fullest capacity. How ever, this cannot be determined be cause that It Is not known the exact territory which will he supplied from It. Already Mr. Perry has received orders for the solution from Rose- burg and points between here and that place. Some of our orchardlsts have al ready commenced the work of spray ing and of course all of them will be busy at this work before many days. The spraying now being done Is for both scale and fungus. It Is to be hoped that all our or chard men will give to Mr. Perry all their patronage for several reasons, one of which Is that It Is a local on- terprlse, and another Is that Mr. Perry, being so closely Identified with tho fruit Industry of the valley, and himself a grower and shipper of fruit, there will be no spray goods put up by htm which Is not such as he would ui9 himself. It might not seem quite the cor rect thing for a country so prolific of everything that grows as Is ours Vo be Importing potatoes for domes tic consumption, but that is what we are doing right now. As a matter ot fact, our people are so dog-blamed busy growing red and yellow apples, alfalfa and bald face steers, that they have not time to look after so trivial product as potatoes. All this is not what the Morning Mall Intended to say when this Item was started. We were going to tell our readers that the Southern Oregon Produce company received a full carload of potatoes and this company Is now delivering them to the several re tailers of the city.

Afout five weeks ago ne put on his hunting clothes and struck out tor the headwaters ot the Umpqua river, At the falls In tbat river he pitched bis tent with an old trapper and hun ter by the name of Emmerson, and the two began tbe slaughter ot the wild and ferocious animals which there abound. As a result of the hunt and their unerring aim there were slain one brown bear, on black bear, four mountain lions, the lawful limit of deer and six bob cats, and Mr. Shea tells that they could have done bet ter even tban this had their dogs been as good trall-scenters as they (the hunters) were marksmen. These few weeks ot successful hunting haa sort of glued Mr. 8hea to Southern Oregon, and In his opin ion if the big game hunting Is ss good here at all times as he has found there. It must be something doing In our red and yellow apple orchards, and he Is going to try one of tbem out and at the same time be close to and In the shade of the mountains which shelter big game.
