HOOD
RIVER
TALKS FRUIT
Irrigation Discussed at
Great Length and Sta
tistics Were Offered
HOOD BIVEB, Or., Dec. 24. The
farmers1 institute was marked by a
large attendance and many interesting
discussions and addresses. Tho advo
cacy by Professor Withycombe of the
Orogon experiment station of divirsi
fied farming for Hood River was the,
subject of much comment. Scvornl or
chardists tried to figure out how they
could keep a cow or two on $1600 nn
acre land, but stato that they have
been untablo to make good.
A. B. Cordlcy, tho station entomolo
gist, took uptho subject of applo scab
and told of the experiments that had
been mado at the agricultural college
to obtain tho best fungicide, with the
result that lime and sulphur showed the
groatest percentage of clean fruit'i This
statement on tho part of Mr. Cordloy
aroused a warm discussion among Hood
River's apple experts, who had obtain
ed successful results from bordeaux
mixture and gnvo the professor a busy
half hour nnswering tho arguments and
questions they shot nt him.
Mr. Cordley maintained however,
that ho was satisfied that lime and sul
phur would be found the most efficient
if applied as directed and at the proper
season of the year, which it seemed
most of the Hood River growers had not
done. The advocates of tho bordeaux
were C. It. Sprout, profiident of the
Apple Growers' union; K. II. Shepard,
editor of Better Fruit, and George I.
Sargent, formerly a member of the
Oregon stnto board of horticulture, but
now n prosperous apple grower here.
Song Smooths Out Buffles.
To smooth the ruffled feathers of the
two spray advocates, President Murray
Kay of the Horticultural society an
nounced that Miss Florence Hnnna
would entertain them with n song,
which that young lady did so effec
tively that she was forced to respond
to an encore.
The deliberations of tho institute
wore wound up by Professor C. T. Lew
is, who talked on "Clover Crops and
Irrigation With Reference to Fruit
Growing." Mr. Lewis said that the
timo was at hand when' Hood River or
chardists must look to maintaining the
plant food of tho soil in their orchards
to prevent its exhaustion and recom
mended as n remedy the planting of
'clover crops. These, he said, should
be planted in the enrly fall and allowed
to grow until the trees commenced to
show life in tho spring and then be
plowed under.
How to Use Irrigation.
In discussing irrigation Professor
Lewis said what the orchardist should
know was not how much water to use,
but how little. In experiments mnde at
tho substation of tho experiment sta
tion in the Rogue River valley it had
been found that more fruit grew on
trees that were irrignted than did on
trees that were not. Whero too much
waer was used the fruit was too large
pnnky and tasteless. Where too little
was used it affected tho appearance of
the apple, lessened the yield and sixc of
the fruit.
one-third of tho entiro excavation neC'
ossary to complete the work. Of this
30,000,000 cubic yards, about 85,000,-
000 has been removed during tho last
threo years. In 1U08, down to Novem
bor 1, nearly 31,000,000 cubie yards wore
removed aud the total for this year will
not bo fur from 37,000,000 yards.
"This will bring the grand total of
American axcavatiou to about 00,000,

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 24. Five
