POOR CARE IS
n
Professor O'Gara Returns From Trip
Through Willamette Valley
' Orchards Full of Disease.
That the orchards of tbe Willam
ette valley, other than those devoted
to prunes and cherries, are poorly
cared for, and benee are full of dis
ease, is the report brought back by
Professor P. J. O'Gara. government
pathologist, who returned from a trip
through that valley Wednesday. The
reason for this is that so many other
crops can- bo grown iu that valley
which pay well and do not require
as much care as orchards.
"Tho Willamette valley is a won

dnccs the very finest of prunes and
,.llorrics suid Professor O'Gara,
"bnt as far as apples and pears arc.
onccrneil tho country does not com
pare with southern Oregon. There is
too much water for one thing, and
again the scientific care is not give.i
the orchards us is the case in this
section. Should one of the apple
orchards of the Willamette valley b-;
placed in the Kogue River valley the
orchardists here would become fright -ened
and would hasten to pull it out.
"This state of affairs is due whol
ly to tho fact that other crops can
be raised in that section which do
not require as much care and pay
haud-.omely."
Pi -fessor O'flara will leave in
few a.. vs for a visit in Roseburg.
