MANY HOPS SOLD.

Over 1000 bales of lops were sold
by growers of Oregon last week. Sales
would have been even larger If the
dealers had their own way In the mat
ter, for everyone had orders to buy
at the low figures now ruling. In the
week's movement there were no choice
hops reported sold; growers having
this quality being firm holders because
of the low prices.
Prospects for the Hopgrowers' As
sociation were never brighter than at
this time. Dealers are expressing much
uneasiness because of the spread of
the organization fever and are buying
all the hops they can secure on this
account. Not only are they buying
1907 hops, but they are contracting
all the 1908 and 1909 hops they can gat
around 11 cents to secure a sufficient
number of. contracts on the coming
two years to offset whatever influence
the association may have on the mar

Plant Diieaiei and Insect Petti. .
The following treatment of certain
plant diseases and Insect pests from
an authority on the subject Is given in
Farm and Ranch: .
For crown gall in peaches there Is no
sure remedy. Applications of bluestone
will often help. As a prevention, pits
should be taken from healthy trees,
soaked in strong bordeaux mixture
and planted in well drained live soli
that has not been In nursery stock, or
chard, potatoes or truck patch. Crown
gall In apples may appear as bard, soft
or hairy root. It can be prevented in
grafting by having the scion and root
same size,' fitting them together per
fectly and using rubber or strong pa
per for wrapper, Crown gall may be
found on dewberries and blackberries
as well as on foreBt growth.
"Yellows" In peaches, not yet found
In Texas, makes red spots on fruit
reaching to the seed, yellow leaves and
twiggy growth. No remedy. Cut trees
and burn immediately.
Leaf curl is not dangerous if sprayed
promptly with bordeaux mixture.' .
Brown rot In peaches and bitter rot
in apples may be prevented by Judi
cious spraying with bordeaux.
For codling moth or worm In apple
spray with arsenltes and afterward
with bordeaux.
For woolly aphis remove dirt from
around root aud sprinkle tobacco dust,
or apply a good wash of hot water or
of kerosene emulsion.
. For curcullo, black knot and brown
rot in plums, cut away and burn the
affected parts and spray with weak
bordeaux.
Points In Fruit Growing.
In pruning young apple trees do not
cut back the limbs when It may be
avoided If early bearing is desired.
Fruit buds first form near the ends of
the older branches and multiply back
in succeeding years. If cut back, the
new growth needs two or three sea
sons to gain sufficient maturity to form
fruit spurs. Thin out branches where
necessary and keep tree In shape with
out sacrificing leaders, v French crab
stock the genuine imported ones are
less likely to be troubled with woolly
aphis and crown gall than western
stocks. Don't let your Kieffer pear
trees bear heavily too young. Prune
or thin fruits severely until trees are
seven years old, advises Rural New
Yorker. They must have good tops
and roots to bear full crop without In
Jury. The Cyclamen.
The foliage, which is heart shaped, Is
prettily marked and shaded. The blos
soms, pink, crimson, blush and white,
as the case may be, are borne on long
stems above the crown of the foliage.
Blooming over, the plant gradually
passes Into a state of rest If cared for
rightly. Water at this time should gen
erally be withheld until the leaves turn
yellow and decay, though It will not do
to let the soil become thoroughly dry!
In summer the cyclamen maybe plant
ed out of doors If It can have a par
tially shaded situation, with the bulb
placed about two Inches below the sur
face of the soil. Thus handled, it wanti
to be taken up and repotted In Septem
ber. F. S. In American Cultivator,
Plum on Peaoh Stock.
In considering the subject of plum
culture at the annual meeting of the
Ohio State Horticultural society It was
developed that plum on peach stalk
has several decided advantages. Peach
roots prevent the suckering from the
roots. The effect of the borer In peach
roots is not nearly so great as In plum
roots. There may be more borers In
peach roots than in plum roots, yet the
wood of the peach roots will not die
to as great extent as that of the plum.

OREGON eTY GOURIER
Is It necessary to ask this question?
It ought not to be.
There was a time, covering many
hundred years after the time of Jesus
Christ when it was not necessary.
People In those days had no doubt as
to what made them Christians.
A man ought to know that he Is a
Christian or not, just as he knowsthat
he is a Mason or an Odd Fellow or
not.
But, as a matter of fact, there are
numbers of people who are. not at all
sure. Question them and they answer:
"I hope I am a Christian,' "1 think I
am," "I'm trying to be one."
On such a -question there should be
no doubt. The consequences Involved
are of first importance. To be a
Christian is to be "a member of Christ,
H, child of God, an mneritor or eternal
ife. These are blessings of inestima
ble value; a man ought to know if he
possesses them or not.
We have a right to expect that so
important a matter would be made so
plain as to leave no room for doubt.
"Oh," some one says, "to be a Christ
Ian one must live a good life!"
True but only In part. There are
some very good people who are not
Christians devout Jews, Mahome
dans, Chinese every creed has Its
good men.
Let ua go back to the time of Jesus
and the early Church and ask what
made a man a Christian then. How
did a heathen or a Jew become a
Christian? - v
It was a very plain and simple proc
ess. First There was something to be
lieve. Believe in Jesus; His divine
claims as the Son of God; His saving
death ; His resurrection from the dead.
(The belief of the early Church crys
tallized in the Apostles' Creed.)
Second Something to do. Repent,
renotfhee the evil of their past lives
and commit themselves to Christ's way
of living.
Third Receive baptism, (1) as a
means by which God's pardon was
made over to the soul; (2) as initiation
Into the spiritual household of Jesus
the Church and a share in all Its
blessings.
Membership in any society carries
with it a share In the benefits of the
society subject to good behavior. The
peculiar benefit of the Church is for
giveness and eternal life.
But some one asks: "Must I not be
converted?" "Must I not have a relig
ious experience?" "Must I not pass
through some religious convulsion?"
It is a great misfortune that the
word "conversion" has become Identi
fied in the minds of many with mod
ern revivalism and its methods. It
brings up a repellant picture of a
noisy meeting with sensational preach
ing, mourners' benches and a vulgar
display of those sacred feelings that
belong only between the soul and God.
There was nothing of this in New
Testament times, nor for seventeen
hundred years after.
There is nothing to be found In the
New Testament that reads like a mod
ern revival seTmon. Jesus and the
apostles were of a different spirit and
temper than the modern evangelists
who periodically visit our towns and
cities.
But there are a great many people
whose religious associations have been
, 00 mnkp them think that If
' they become Christians it must be by
'some such modern process. And be-
. cause it repels and disgusts them, and
I because they are too honest to pre
tend to an experience they never had,
they stay out of the Church. Conse
quently we have millions of lapsed
, Protestants, a decaying faith and de
pleted congregations. For the glory
of God and the good of souls we must
: get back to first principles.
I What makes one a Christian?
I What saita the Scriptures?
I "Dost thou believe in the Son of
Cod? Have you been baptized for the
remission of sins? Have you joined
the Brotherhood? Are you endeavor
ing by the grace of God to live a God
ly, righteous and sober life?"
If to these questions you can answer
yes, then you may know that you are
i a Christian.
jQlD you ever stop to conyare the COURIER
with other County papers? Consider a
minute. There are 12 pages each page contain
ing 7 colums. This makes a column more on
each page than you usually get in a county weekly
or 12 colums, which is equal to two extra pages
when comparing with a six column paper. Then
the extra length gives half a page extra. So,
summing up, the County Weekly as a rule gives
gives you 8 pages each containing 6 colums. To
get the comparative size of the COURIER you
must add 6 pages which is lacking only a page
and a -half of being just double the size of the
ordinary 8-page weekly.

they can eat what they want at any

sleeplessness, distress after eating

that the vital machinery is once more
running smoothly.
Take a little Ml-o-na tablet before
each meal so that It will stimulate the
digestive Juices and give strength to
the stomach, and then it will take
care of the food that is eaten, with
