Sagebrush, heretofore looked upon as valueless, may prove to be one of the big crops of the west if the informa tion given to the publicity and indus trial commission of Nevada by Chicago chemists prove to be correct. According to the report of Professor Sylvester Sparling of Chicago, 4000 pounds of sagebrush produced 22 gal lons of distillate, and further yielded 350 pounds of charcoal. The distillate contained tar, wood alcohol, acetic acid and several other products. The figures given indicate that thou sands of acres of sagebrush land in the west can be made to produce millions of dollars in products in the distilling process now being perfected by the Chicago chemists in the employ of the state.—Ex.

Kind of Pears to Plant in Rogue River Valley. The experience to date in the Rogue River Valley pear industry is that there are but six varieties that have proven a commercial success. There are the Anjou, Bartlett, Winter Nelis, Comice, Bose and Howell. They are here named in the order of their preference by the majority of the pear growers of the Valley. As to which is the most, profitable pear there is a difference of opinion as also to which is the least profitable. This usually comes from the grower’s personal experience with his orchard, and that is governed large ly by the character of the soil, water table, bedrock and other conditions. In past seasons the Bartlett and the Comice have eaeh led in record price, but this season the Anjou was the best seller of the Rogue River Pears, the record price being $6.75 a box f.o.b. car, New York. While every other known variety of pears have been fruited in Rogue River Valley and have here attained their perfection both as to yield and quality, yet the six varieties above named are the only ones that lead in price in the world’s best markets and have been found profitable to the fruit growers here. The labor problem is a matter that the Rogue River Pear growers have to take into consideration, for to get and to keep a crew of skilled pickers and packers will be no small task when there are a million pear trees in beat ing in this Valley, as there will be within 10 years. By planting varieties that will ripen in succession a smaller crew can handle a larger given acreage than if the orchard is of on* or two va rieties. But as the character of the soil and other conditions govern the varieties of pears that can be grown in an orchard the fruit grower will have to grow only those pears that do best on his land. The date of ripening of the six standand pears varies in differ ent parts of the Valley, but the average dates are as follows: Bartlett, August 14; Howell, September 1; Anjou, Sep tember 12; Bose, September 18; Comice, September 24; Winter Nelis, October 12. The grower who is fortunate enough to have different kinds of land will be able to have a succession in the ripening of his pears and thus enable him to handle his crop economically and with no delay to cause damage to the fruit. With peaches and apricots for fillers, or separately planted, the orchardiBt could have a continuous pick ing of fruit from the first of July until late in October. The characteristics of these six stan dard pears varies and must be taken into consideration in the planting of a pear orchard. The Bartlett is the all- around pear of the Valley for it is a regular and prolific bearer and thrives on any soil that has a fair depth and a reasonable amount of moisture. It will grow on heavy, wet land and on lighl, dry land. It does not always sell at fancy prices but its ability to yield reg ular and big crops make it a profitable variety. The Anjou thrives best on a medium rich, moist soil of good depth, while the Winter Nelis is only profitable on the very richest of soil with plenty of moisture. Comice will not do on rich, moist soil ar.d should only be planted on the foot-hill clay loam, and the Bose also wants the clay loam. The Howell does best on medium rich, moist land.—Fruit Grower. NO. 32 CITY COUN- CIL MEETS Only Routine Business Trans acted—Tax Levy Will be Made Later. The regular monthly meetiug of the city council was held in the council chamber Tuesday evening. Only routine business, such as allow ing bills for previous month, etc., was transacted. The question of tax levy for city purposes was discussed in an informal manner but definite action thereon was deferred until later. The filling of the vacancy on the town board, caused by the resigna tion of Mr. Davis, was also left for action at some future meeting. — ------- Small acreage seeded as yet around Gervais.
