W. RAMBO.
Mrs. Sara Cassedy, wife of C. W.
CasBedy, who died, a short time ago at
her home at Sandy, was born August
30, 1851, In Allegheny, Pa., and came
to Oregon in the spring of 1878. For
three years she was a resident of
Oregon City, moving from here to the
Eagle Creek country.

The Vln. Blight.
Several Inquiries from New England
were recently received at the depart
ment of agriculture asking fur reme
dies to prevent or cure the blight tbat
destroys cucumber, melon and squash
vines and referring to the well known
disease very prevalent In America
of late yeara and which causes appar
ently vigorous vines to suddenly with
er and die within a few days from the
beginning of the attack.
According to Dr. B. T. Galloway of
the bureau of plant Industry, the blight
Is prevalent all along the Pacific coast.
The germs of the blight are carried by
an Insect. lie recommends that tbe
vines should make a steady rather than
a rapid growth and should be planted
on ground containing a large amount
of organic matter, adding also nitrogen
lu the form of nitrate of soda. Spray
ing the plants with paris green and
bordeaux mixture such as Is used fr
potatoes kills the Insect which carries
the blight and prevents Its puncturing
the lenves and admitting the fungus
of the disease. As a means of preven
tion It Is reco in mended that the crops
be grown on fresh ground each year.
The Orange In Idaho.
Furolf Idaho has at last gained en
trance Into the sisterhood of grange
states mid reports eleven new granges
organized during the quarter ending
July 1. Wo anticipate a rapid growth
In grango membership In that live
farming state of the noil Invent, and It
may seem strange to some that the
work of organizing In that state has
been so long delayed. There has been
a reuson for It, as thoso know who
are familiar with the methods that
have prevailed for some years past
concerning the opening up of new
grange territory, particularly In Idaho,
nut now that the work tins begun Its
progress will not be slow.

BLACK KNOT IN PLUMS.
Mora Light on the Failure of Pluma In
tha East.
F. C. Sears of the Massachusetts ag
ricultural college writes as f-Jluws
about black knot In plums:
I have been interested In looking
through tbe college orchard recently to
notice the comparative susceptibility
of the different varieties and classes of
plums to black knot and In comparing
present Indications with past -experience
along the same lines.
The tree agent who sells plum trees
which are warranted to be "knot
TBBB WITH BLACK KNOT.
proof" Is undoabtedly a nature fakir,
but If he selects the right varieties
among the Japanese he will come much
nearer than usual to the truth. In two
rows In the college orchard of twenty
two trees each, one of Red June and
the other of Burbank, I found In a
reasonably long ' search not a single
specimen of black knot And last year
their record was almost -equally clean.
On trees in adjoining rows of Engel
bart and Bradshaw, however, knots
are all too abundant, though not nearly
so bad as last season. They would
probably average half a-ozen knots to
the tree this season, while last year
the same trees yielded a couple of
bushels of knots from the two rows.
While this Is a little discouraging to
the man who wants to grow the domes
tic plums, as everybody does who
wants high quality, still it Is surpris
ing how little time Is' uequlred to keep
down this disease If It Is taken In time
and systematically handled. And It is
equally surprising how badly a tree
can be affected and still be recovered
satisfactorily. A few years ago the
writer undertook to revive some old
trees which would ordinarily have
been cut down and put on the brush
heap. They were a mass of knots from
top to bottom. We selected a time
when the snow was on the ground so
that the knots could be easily gathered
up and cut out every vestige of the dis
ease, though In some cases this left a
pretty, small proportion of tbe original
tree. In removing a knot we cut at
least six inches below It, so as to be
sure and take out ftie roots of the dis
ease. That year the trees made a big
growth, often three or four feet, but a
good many new knots also came out
which were removed that autumn, the
trees also receiving two thorough
sprayings with bordeaux mixture dur
ing the summer.
The following two years we did near
ly all our cutting in the summer and
found It much more satisfactory in Its
results than cutting during the dor
mant season. To begin with, as the
knots were removed as soon as they
appeared we saved the crop of sum
mer spores which would otherwise have
spread the disease. Then, the knots
being young and soft, we could fre
quently shave them off and thus save
the branch on which they grew. Last
ly, when it became necessary to cut
out a brauch altogefcjie, in getting rid
of a knot, the tree, being still in growth,
would at once fill In tbe space thus
made, so that by autumn It could
hardly be seen.
This work was done In a section
where the black knot flourishes like tbe
proverbial green bay tree, yet we found
It by no means a serious matter to rid
these trees of the disease and keep
them reasonably free. Three cuttings
during the summer, with an autumn
clearing up (after the leaves were off)
of the knots which bad escaped thus
far, combined with three application
of bordeaux mixture, did the work.
Our sprayings were applied one be
fore the leaves opened, one after tbe
blossoms fell and one about two weeks
later. Lest some may think this a pret
ty serious programme, I may Bay that
the summer cutting the third season
took Just four and one-half hours for
an orchard of ninety trees.

That grange meetings should be call

That subordinate granges should not
adjourn for the hot season. ,
That no work for tbe Order should be
considered Insignificant or unworthy
of our best efforts.
That there should be variety In the
lecturer's programmes.
That Juvenile granges are good things
under proper management.
That more attention should be paid to
music in nine-tenths of the granges.
That greater care should be taken In
many granges In keeping secret the
workings of the Order.
That It is easier to keep unworthy
persons out of the grange than to get

That "the best men in the Order
