"There is as yet nothing definite
regarding a right of way in Medford
for the Pacific & Eastern or the es
tablishment ot a treight and passen
ger depot for that road at the ter
minal of Jackson streets," states John
R. Allen, president of the Pacific & I
Eastern." I am not -aware of the
source of information drawn upon
menace to the fruitgrowing industry
of the entire Rogue River valley.
A thorough inspection and eradi
cation of diseased town lot orchards
has been begun, and the entire force
of county inspectors are at work in
the city of Ashland. As soon as
their work is completed there, they
will in turn clean up Phoenix, Talent.
Jacksonville, Medford, Central Point.
Gold Hill, Woodville, Eagle Point and
other places. The same program
will be carried out in Josephine coun
ty. The inspectors will enforce the
horticultural statutes to the letter,
and in this work they hnve back of
them the state horticultural commis
sion and the county courts. I hope
that no one will plead ignorance of
the law. Furthermore, there bus been
plenty of opportunity for everyone to
get information on fruit diseases and
how to eradicate them. The federal
government as well as the stato and
county has made it very easy to get
such information through literature,
which may be had for the asking. A
federal officer has been stationed in
the valley during the past two years
in order to help those desirous of
getting the very best information on
every' phase of fruit growing, and
especially in the matter of eradicat
ing pear blight.
This letter has been prepared in
order to give anyone a chance to
clean up before the inspectors come.
I wish to assure every delinquent
that it will be much cheaper to have
this work done themselves than to
wait for a county officer to do it for
him. A much neater job of eradi
cation may be done by the owner
himself than by an officer of the law
who has little time for nice work. It
is not the work of an inspector to cut
out blight, but rather to instruct. You
would hardly expect the county to
pay a man to cultivate your trees or
to prune them; why, then, should you
expect the county to pay men to do
the actual work of cleaning up your
orchards? It is the inspector's place
to order this worlf done at your ex
pense if you do not see fit to do it
yourself. The fruit interests of the
valley are dependent upon you for
co-operation, and they are nsking no
more of you thnn is just. Clean up
your back lot orchards and help to
boost the Rogue River valley.
SATISFACTION OF
FRUIT RAISING
At the annual meeting of the Amer
ioun l'oiuological society Dunn L. 'II.
Hailey of Cornell university spoke on
"The Satisfaction of Fruit raising,"
dwelling more particularly on the es
thctic side of the subject. lie said:
"In physical perfectness of form and
solidity and color thuro is nothing in
the world that exceeds a well grown
apple. Let it be in the palm of your
hand; put in against your cheek
and inhale its fragrance; note the
stem, how it stands firmly in its
cavity. The apple is not only tho
product of your labor, but it holds
the essence of the year and it is in
itself a thing of exquisite benuty.
There is no other rondure and no fra
grance like this."
Professor Bailey closed by reading
the following .original poem: .
My last winter npples I ate today,
Shapely and stout in their modcl-
- cd skins;
Securely packed in my cellar bhif
Two dozen good kinds of apple
spheres lay.
And today I went to my orchard trees
And picked me the first ripe yel

In summer suns mid tho summer-day

Ami thereby it was that tho two years

When tile wheat was shocked and

And weather of winter stayed with
me yet.
For I planted fhese orchard treos div

Where visions are wide and winds
