FOR BETTER CROPS
I ENTHUSIASTIC FARMERS' INSTI
TUTE AT OREGON CITY.
; Preliminary Steps Taken For Organ
izing voumy nentcui
tural Socltty.
A now epoch In the agricultural and
horticultural llfo of Clackamaii county
was Initiated Wednesday at a largely
attended Farmers' Institute hold In
thlH city. Ab a result of tho mooting,
preliminary steps have been taken for
the organisation of a County Horticul
tural Hoclety. . Committees on by-lawa
and publicity have been appointed and
them) will report at another meeting
to bo held Saturday, December 9, when
the Hoclety will be permanently organ
ized. The InHtltute was largely at
tended and the Interest manifested waa
good.
The morning meeting, preliminary
to tho organization of the County Hor
ticultural Society, wan held at tho
court house, J. U. Campbell, secrotary
of the Oregon City Hoard of Trade,
presiding, and Superintendent Zlnsor
acting an secretary. The object of the
meeting having boon stated, Chair
man Campbell Introduced Hon. E. L.
Smith, of Hood River, preHldont of the
State Hoard of Horticulture, who gave
a moMt entertaining and enthusiastic
address.
"RViilt ralnlne Ik a scientific nur-
I Hult," declared this auccoMHful fruit
culturlst, "and If you are not going
to keep up to date, you might an well
prepare to go out of the buHlnettH."
Forty yeara ago, tho speaker assert-
I ed, fruit grew largely of Its own ac-
cord In this section, but at the present
I time conditions have changed very
materially. Mr. Smith then briefly
: reviewed tho history of the organlza-
tlon and the successful operation of
f the Hood Illver Union through which
I agency the fnilt products of that sec
I tlon have gained a world-wide reputa
tion and command prices In advance
of all competition.
"In the union and co-operation of
producers alone Is the salvation of
tho grower." declared Mr,, Smith, who
complimented the people of Clacka
mas county on tho Immense undevel
oped horticultural resources and the
possibilities of tyie county. "Select
your fruit trees with respect to quali
ty of the product, carefully cultivate,
spray Judiciously and opportunely,
adopt uniform method of picking and
grading and you will have no trouble
in finding a market."
Codlln moth and San Jose scale are
he recognized foremost enemies of
the fruit Industry In the Willamette
valley and throrough and vigorous
spraying was recommended as the
only possible means of Intercepting
their disastrous -operations. As the
most effective recipe for spraying tor
the extermination of the Codlln Moth
and other chewing Insects, President
Smith recommended Arsenate of Leaa,
the formula for tho making of the
preparation being as follows: 4 oza,
Arsenate of Soda and 13 ozh. Acetate
of liead. Dissolve In water In separate
buckets, pour together, and you will
have sufficient Arsenate of Load for CO
I gallons of water and all you need to
, do Is to pour Arsenate Into the water
s and stir well. Its advantages over
i other forms of arsenate are as fol
lows: 1st. It remains in suspension
j longer than any other arsenal spray,
and hence requires but little agitation;
2d It Is very adhesive, but little ef
I footed by rains, and therefore requires
less number of applications; 3d It is
more pleasant to handle, and can be
f used any strength without Injury to
foliage
- After a miscellaneous discussion
and questioning, C. W. Swallow, O
W. Eustham. V. W. Jesse, B. P. Car
ter and John H. Lewollen were con-
stituted a committee to draft by-laws
I and formulate a plan of organization,
i to report at the afternoon meeting.
! The committee submitted the fol-
lowing report which was adopted:
! "We, your committee appointed to
submit a plan for the organization of
a County Horticultural Society or Fruit
drawers' Union as In our Judgment
may seem best, respectfully submit
the following report:
j "We recommend that those here
; present and as many others as can be
?; Induced to do so, be present In the
County Court Room at 10 o'clock on
' the 9th day of December and there
' proceed to organize a Horticultural
j Society.
i "That a committee of three be ap
j pointed by the chairman of this com
f mittee to submit by-laws to the said
meeting, which by-laws bh they may
( be amended at said meeting, shall be
f the governing rules of said socloty.
I "That the chairman of this meeting
t appoint a committee of five whose duty
shall be: to proceed 'along systematic
5 lines to procure a representative at
' tendance at said meeting."
I On the recommendation of the com
mittee, Chairman Campbell named the
' following ommlttees: By-laws Cap
tain J. p. Shaw, O. W. Kasthnm, and
W. H. Stafford; to procure represcn
j tative attendance at meeting Decem
i her 9 W. W. Jesse, Barlow; A. M.
; Vinyard, Canby; J. R.. Lewis, Mt.
' Pleasant; H. M. Hartnell, Clackamas;
; and (1. A. Schuebel, Shubel.
I A variety of topics were discussed
In the afternoon at Willamette Hall,
J the speakers being Dr. James Withy-
5 combe and Professor Cordley, of the
Corvallls experiment station, and
5 President E. L. Smith and Commission
' er W. K. Newell, of the State Board of
f Horticulture. Fruit and vegetables and
; the pests that Interfere with these
; crops received the attentiton of Prof.
J Cordley, who admonished the farmer
to destroy or remove from the keld
all refuse of every description immed
. lately following the harvesting of a
crop as a great aid in keeping out and
holding In check vermin that other
wise nourish under those neglected
conditions. The Professor recommend
ed the spraying of potato vines as a so
lution to the blight problem. There
should be made two or three applica
tions of the bordeaux spray to be ef
leetive, the first treatment to be made
Just as the vines have blossomed. By
tr itlng tomato vines In the same
manner, the rotting of this vegetable
can be entirely prevented. In so
treating this plant, tho first applica
tion should be made when the vines
are from six to eight Inches tall.
Messrs. Smith and Newell were fre
quently Questioned on horticultural
topics and gave much Interesting and
valuablo advice.
Dr. Wlthycombo gave an Instruc
tive address on "General Farming",
calling specific attention to some of
the grevlous errors and blunders Wil
lamette valley farmers are following
In allowing themselves to be deluded
Into the belief that beneficial results
attend summer fallowing.
The trouble with the averago farm
er," asserted Dr. Wlthycombo, "is
that he Is robbing the soil of Its fer
tility without the slight regard or con
cern for the perpetuity of Its product
iveness. This is wrong In theory and
dangerous In practice. The plant food
In the soli Is the farmers' capital
stock. For every ton of wheat that
Is harvested the soil Is robbed of
about $7.60 of your capital stock. Iess
than fifty cents worth of this capital
stock Is consumed In producing a ton
of butter fat which yields tho farmer
between $5000 and $11000. Keep more
cows.
The practice of summer fallowing
was vigorously attacked as being most
detrimental to the soil. This method
of tilling the soil, said tho speaker,
does not contribute one ounce of plant
rooo to tne son. uy this process Is
the land only placed In the host possi
ble condition for biological and chemi
cal changes, to the loss of four crops
of wheat.
"No other system could be adopted
that would despoil the agricultural
properties of the soil more quickly
than results from summer fallowing."
A rotation of leguminous crops Is es
sential to restoring to the soil the ele
ments of plant food of which It Is
robbed by the planting of one continu
ous crop for a number of seasons.
The sessions of the Institute con
cluded Wednesday evening with lec
tures by Hon. W. K. Newell, who dis
cussed the small fruits; Dr. Wlthy
combo on "Diversified Farming" and
Prof. Kent on "Dairying as an Art."
The lectures by Dr. Wlthycombe and
i'ror. Kent were Illustrated by a se
ries of stereoptlcon views.
Successful meetings, addressed by
the same speakers, were held at Can
by and Molalla Monday afternoon and
evening, respectively. Tuesday even
ing meetings were held at Logan and
Kagle Creek.
At Logan.
Between 75 and a hundred farmer
of the Logan neighborhood, one of the
finest agricultural sections In the
state, assembled at the Grange Hall
Tuesday evening to listen to Instruc
tive lectures by Prof. Kent, of the Cor
vallls experiment station and Hon.
W. K. Newell, of Forest Grove, sup
plemented by some appropriate re
marks by J. U. Campbell, who accom
panied the speakers from this city.
11. 8. Anderson, master of the Lo
gan Grange, called tne meeting to
order shortly before 8 o'clock and In
troduced Prof. Kent who gave an In
structive lecture on "Dairying."
This Industry, the speaker demon
strated, Is especially suited to this
section where experiments have gone
to show that the results fully Justify
the money and labor that are devoted
thereto. The growing of alfalfa was
represented to be most profitable as
a crop and as a means of preserving
the plant life of the soil and in the
growing of which the productiveness
of the land is not Impaired.
The value of Prof. Kent's lecture.
was enhanced by the asking of ques
tions, bearing on the subject, by the
Interested auditors.
Hon. W. K. Newell, a successful
horticulturist of Forest Grove, told
the farmers of the value of growing
fruits for domestic and commercial
purposes. He explained that by rea
son of the equable climate, character
of the soil, close proximity to market
and a demand for the product, there
Is no reason why the growing of fruit
should not be more largely engaged
In with profit to the farmer. Mr. New
ell, In discussing fruits, enumerated
the different varieties that can bo sue- j
cessfully cultivated In the Willamette i
Valley and suggested the most desir
able for planting.
The final speaker was J, U. Camp
bell, secretary of the Oregon City
Board of Trade, who emphasized the
need of an organization of the fruit
growers and producers of Clackamas
county as a means for producing bet
ter quality of fruit, establishing: a
reputation for the product and secur
ing for the producer the best possible
returns for his product. These re
sults, he urged, could best be attained
through the agency of a county horti
cultural society, the organization of
which was one of the objects for
which the Institute was to be held at
Oregon City all day Wednesday. Mr.
Campbell especially urged that all
who possibly could would attend the
Oregon City meeting. 1 1
At the close of the addresses,7 which
were interspersed with some vocal
music by a volunteer choir of the
young people, there was extended to
the speakers a unanimous vote of
thanks for their appreciable services.
Considering that announcement of
the meeting had been made but two
days in advance, the attendance was
most gratifying. There were present
farmers who came for six and eight
miles and their enthusiasm was cor
respondingly good. It was an enthu
siastic meeting of genuine profit to all
who attended.
At Molalla.
Monday night there assembled liv
the Grange hall quite a number of In
telligent farmers of Molalla and sur
rounding neighborhoods to hear what
the scientific farmers of the agricultu
ral experiment station had to say.
Worthy Master L. H. Cochran, of
Molalla Grange, No. 310, scted as
chairman of the meeting: Dr.Wlth
ecombe was called on for a talk on
"diversified farming"; lie "broke the
Ice" and gently lead out by stating
what a good thing the Grange organi
zation was, in any community, enabl
ing the producers of the soil to grow
out of their narrow, individual, sel
fish ruts and operate for the better
ment of humanity, by mingling togeth
er, viewing and reviewing the process
of production until tho farm's products
Girlhood, Womanhood, Motherhood.
The flrfit lesson that the young girl
ban of womanhood is usually a painful
one-. Klie learns to know what head-'
ache means, and backache, and some
time is sadly borne down by this new
experience of life.
All the pain and misery which young
girls commonly experience at such a
time may, in almost every instance, be
entirely prevented or cured by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
It establishes regularity. It tones up
the general health, and cures headache,
backache, nervousness, chorea, or St.
Vitus' dance, and other consequences
of womanly weakness or disease.
MOTH KB OF THB FAMILY.
The anxious mother of the family
oftentimes carries the whole burden of
responsibility so far as the home med
ication of common ailments of the girls
or boys are concerned. The cost of the
doctor's visits are very often much too
great. At such times the mother is
Invited to write to Dr. It. V. Piercef of
Buffalo, N. Y., for medical advice,
which is givon free. Corresjiondence is
beld sacredly confidential.
IT STANDS AI.ONE.
"Favorite Proscription" is the only
medicine for women the makers of
which are not afraid to print just what
It is made of on every bottle wrapper.
It is the only medicine for women
every ingredient of which lias the unan
imous endorsement of all the lead
ing mediciil writers of this country,
recommending it for the cure of the
versaine dines for which this "Pre
scription" is ml vised.
A mother's lovr.
A mother's love is so divine that the
roughest man cannot help but appre
ciate it as the crown of womanhood.
However, motherhood is often looked
forward to with feelings of great dread
by most women. At such times a
woman is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable,
and she is in need of a uterine tonic
and nervine, a strength builder to fit
her for the ordeal. No matter how
healthy or strong a woman may be she
cannot but be benefited by taking Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription to prepare
for the event. It makes childbirth easy
and often almost painless.
DR. PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION
is a powerful, invigorating tonic. It
imparts strength to the whole system
and to the womb and its appendages
in particular.. For overworked " worn-
1 out ''run-down," debilitated teachers,'
milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses,
"shop-girls," housekeepers, nursing
mothers and feeble women generally.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
the greatest earthly boon, leing un
equaled as an appertizing cordial and
restorative tonic.
A STRENGTHENING NERVINE.
"Favorite Prescription" is unequaled
and is invaluable in allaying and sub
duing nervous excitability, irritability,
nervous exhaustion, prostration, neu
ralgia, hvsteria. soasms. chorea, or St
Vitus's aance, and other distressing,
nervous symptoms commonly attend
ant upon functional ana organic dis
ease of the womb. It induces refresh
ing sleep and relieves mental anxiety
and despondency.
A K'.'EN'TIKIfi MEDICINE.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription la
were marketed. And he referred to
Clackamas County as being about in
the right place to successfully grapple
with the future events.
The Dr. grew eloquent when he
touched on on the beautifying of the
homes; planting the ornamental, un
selfish trees that are to bear fruit in
the future generations: Showed that a
home In Clackamas county was some
thing to be desired and kept, not to be
sold like one would a horse, when the
price was offered. The "noble cow"
was happily mentioned as an ever
ready means of stopping the leak or
exhaustion that is sapping the fertility
of the farm The summer fallow was
attended to as the work of oxidizing
and burning out of the productiveness
of the land; the process, that if fol
lowed, by the father will leave an Im
poverished farm for the son.
C. A., C. clover, alfalfa, the cow
were recommended as the land reno
vator and mortage lifter. (The writer
is not attempting to reproduce the
glowing terms used by the speakers,
but to throw In a slide that will por
tray the Ideas advanced.)
Mr. O. W. Eastham was next in or
der ssld ho did iot pppear to make
a speech, but w.1:. here in the interests
of the Oregon City Eorrd of lisde,
which organlzfMion requested that
representatives be sent to On;on City
on the 23d of November for the pur
pose of orgrnizirT a HDrtieultural So
ciety, and thus by moving in an or
ganized body the much tnlkcd of Coun

he explained whrt a splend.d thing
it was to have grapes about the place
in both spheilcfl ind liquid forms
and advised giving the boy a chance
on the farm to devtlep and exercise
his new Idees, because new IdeHS were
I generplly good ideas.
j Professor Cordley gave an instruc
tive lecture on mm posts, oescnuing
some four or five of the more noticable
klnda, their habitat, the kind tf gun
and amunition and season to go for
them to mpke a killing that would
check their work of fruit destruction.
Professor Kent's lecture on dairying
came out of the hopaietor all right and
was a "both handed," "all you need"

A large and attentive audience greet

use will prove very beneficial.
CURES OBSTINATE CASES.
"Favorite Prescription" is a positive
cure for the most complicated and
obstinate cases of leucorrhea, exces
sive flowing, painful menstruation, un
natural suppressions and irregularities,
prolapsus or lulling of the womb, weak
back, "female weakness," anteversion,
retroversion, bearing-down sensations,
chronic congestion, inflammation and
ulceration of the womb, inflammation,
pain and tenderness of the ovarioa,
accompanied with "internal heat."
HOW TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
Young women or matrons should not
allow themselves to look sallow and
wrinkled because of those pains and
weaknesses which tiecome chronic and
are the result of colds, tight lacing, and
the imprudent care of the womanly sys
tem. Many a woman would look beau
tiful, have healthy color and bright eyes
if it were not for those drains on her
strength and those weaknesses which
come all too frequently and make her
life miserable. There is a ready-to-use
Prescription, used a great many years by
Dr. K. V. Pierce in his large practice as
a Specialist in women's diseases, which
is not like the many " patent medicines"
on the market, as it contains neither
alcohol nor any narcotic, or other harm
ful drug. It is purely vegetable. It is
known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription and is sold by druggists.
dr. pierce's pleasant pellets
cure biliousness, sick and bilious head
ache, dizziness, costiveness, or con
stipation of the bowels, lose of appe
tite, coated tongue, sour stomach,
winay belchlngs, " heartburn," pain
and distress after eating, and kindred
derangements of the liver, stomach
ana bowels.
Persons subjected to any of these
troubles should never be without a vial
of the " Pleasant Pellets " at hand. In
proof of their superior excellence it can
truthfully be said that they are always
adopted as a household remedy after
the first trial.-- . r
One little "Pellet" is a laxative, two
are cathartic. They regulate, invigor
ate and cleanse the liver, stomach and
bowels. As a "dinner pill," to promote
digestion, take one each day. To re
lieve toe distress arising from over
eating, nothing equals one of these
little "Pellets." They're tiny, sugar
coated, anti-bilious granules, scarcely
larger than mustard seeds.

is the general theme of Dr. Pierce's

he recommended the raising of Al
falfa for dairying purposes, and point
ed out that Canby prairie was an ideal
place for the same. He spoke at
length on the preparation of the soil,
emphasizing the great necessity of
well harrowing the land after it was
well plowed, thus bringing it into a
pulverized condition, and pointing out
very clearly that the best results are
obtained only after the land is well
worked.
The raising of cattle, and the breed'
ing of them, was discussed by the Dr,
in an interesting manner, and he very
strongly recommended a pure strain
of cattle for dairying purposes.
Prof. Cordley s speech on fruit rais
ing was interesting and practical. It
was well received, because many of
the persons present are engaged in
that industry. For the destruction of
pests worms in apples and other
fruits, spraying was recommended, not
only once or twice a year, but many
times and heavy. The Hessian fly was
also considered. The Professor stat
ing that the eggs were deposited in
the noil of the grain when it first
springs up, and then again later in the
Spring of the year. He recommended
also the thinning out of old orchards,

gards himself most fortunate in sueeeasfully
battling with what Is generally regarded a
fatal malady, Bright's Disease of the Kidneys
Jo speaking of his ease Judge Allea said: 1
believe that the treatment given me by my
phjslclan was in accordance with the beat
methods uaed In the regular practioe of medi
cine, but It afforded me no relief. Hearing of
the Fulton Compounds I went to 8sn Franouno
to investigate and was soon convinced I should
undergo the treatment. It was three months
before I noticed a change for the better. I used
the medicine faithfully for nearly a year and
ean now find no evidence of the disease ana
am satisfied it is entirely eliminated. My ap
petite Is good, I have gained seventeen pounds
In weight and will be pleased to describe my
experience to anyone who may call or write."'
