SPRAY YOUR TREES
Time to Fight Fruit Pests Has
Arrived.
PROFESSOR CORDLEY GIVES FOR
MULA FOR BEST MIXTURE.

ler Orchardists.
In a recent bulletin issued at the
state agricultural college at Corvallis,
Professor Cordley gives the following
formula for a spray that he recom
mends as the best preparation for
cleaning-up old orchards and he fur
ther suggests that the present is the
time to use the same:
Lime, Sulphur and Salt.
The lime, sulphur and salt wash is
' one of the most satisfactory sprays for
San Jose scale and is also of value as
a fungicide. It is in fact the very
best winter spray for cleaning up old
neglected moss-grown and diseased
orchards. It is primarily a winter
spray but when much reduced in
strength has been used to advantage
as a summer spray for San Jose scale.
Several methods of preparing it are
recommended but the following,
known as the Oregon formula, is the
most satisfactory in this" climate:
Quick lime' - -.50 pounds
Sulphur 50 pounds
Salt - 25 to50 pounds
Water . ' 150 gallons
Slake the lime throughly, add the
sulphur, cover with water, and boil
briskly for at least an hour. Then
add the salt and boil 15 or 20 minutes
' longer or until the mixture is of a
deep blood red coldr with but little
free sulphur on the surface. Add
water to make 150 gallons. Apply
with considerable force through a
coarse nezzle while still warm. The
results of a number of experiments
indicate that the salt adds nothing to

the efficiency of this spray, but my re
sults have been conflicting.
The time for spraying fruit trees is
the present. A great many, farmers are
doing their part towards fighting and
exterminating the pests with which
practically every orchard is infested,
But there are a great many smaller
orchardists who have not the conven
ient means for spraying that are de
sirous of employing some one to do
this work. Here is an opportunity for
men with spray pumps to get busy.

would produce surprising results.
As to cleaning up the old orchards,
it looks as though Benton would lead
the procession, says a Corvallis paper.
Members of a spraying firm in the
Times office yesterday, declared that
every farmer they have met expects to
join in the war or cut down his trees.
Prof. Cordley is surprised at the way
the movement has taken hold in the
remoter sections of the county. That
person has, in fact, fallen between the
wheels of the clean-up car and is
about to be ground into little pieces.
Everybody, even the "father" wants
information. They want to know the
best spray pump to use. They want to
know the ingredients of salt, lime and
sulphur spray and what to put in it.
Also the proportions of each, apd how
to apply it. .. The question of when is
the-best time for application and a
thousand other inquiries, keep theH
Cordley telephone in a jingle all day
long and sometimes far into the night.
Though it a strenuous task to an
swer all these inquiries, Prof. Cordley
is much encouraged by them, and
takes interest in affording information.
He is full of enthusiasm for the move
ment because he realizes that great
things can be accomplished,. The or
chards which have been turning off a
valueless fruit can, by controlling the
pests and diseases can be made a
source of revenue. The old conditions
of early days, when worms in apples
were unknown can be in a great meas
ure restored.

THE WOMEN tfF THE WEST.
t
(By Rose Eytinge.)
Every woman who is born in Amer
ica has special occasion to give thanks
to God. But she is never able thor
oughly to appreciate for how great a
blessing she is called upon to give
thanks to God until she has lived in
foreign countries, and. by the exper
ience thus acquired, she is enabled to
contrast her condition in the world's
progerss with that of her less-favored
sisters in foreign countries, beginning
with the British Kingdom, and stretch
ing to the Far East. It is only after
she has seen their condition that she
sees clearly for how much she has to
be thankful.
Every mile we travel, every step we
take westward brings to woman a
higher place in the body politic, in
tellectually and intrinsically; but it is
not until we cross the Atlantic that we
find women really and practically the
equals of men.
In England women fare much better
m every particular, in education,
equality of aims and ambitions, and in
freedom generally, than they do upon
the Continent. But it is after the At
lantic is crossed that we may enjoy
the full advantages of freedom, and it
falls to the woman of the Great West
to realize more than any of her sisters
the glory of her opportunities and to
sieze upon those opportunities and
avail herself of them for the advance
ment of herself and her sex, and so for
the world. For this-reason, whenever
or wherever any woman hears the
I voice of a man troll out the words of
Tom Moore,
"O come to the West, love.
O come there with m"e."
the' best thing she can do is to get
right up pack her "grip." and be ready
to start at once.
The things that the women of the
West accomplish prove that woman
has developed in her nature in H re
markable degree the spirit of the pio
neer. She hungers and thirsts for ad
vancement; she is constantly reaching
out to improve her condition, to broad
en 'her environment, not only in all the
practical movements of life, but in
rail the higher walks of existence in
books, in music, in the arts and
sciences. In every fieldf intellectual,
as in every feature of domestic life,
she is always active, always restless,
always forging to the front.

.
Henry E. Stevens, of Milwaukie,
wno is now serving nis second term
as County Recorder, has given the
following response to a petition that
that was presented to him several
weeks ago by his friends and neigh
bors in Milwaukie, requesting him to
stand for the Republican nomination
of Representative:
"Oregon City, Or., Feb. 24, 1906.
"To my Friends and Neighbors in
Milwaukie Precinct:
"I beg to acknowledge receipt of
your communication of some weeks
ago, requesting me to become a can
didate for nomination to the State
Legislature at the coming primary
election. , Your kind indorsement of
my past official acts, and the confi
dence expressed in my integrity and
ability to represent the people justly
and honorably in the lower branch of
our State Legislature affords me much
pleasure.
"After mature deliberation, I have
decided to become a candidate, in con
formity with your request; and, rely
ing upon your support and assistance,
I shall do all in my power, consistent
with justice and honor, to win a place
on the regular Republican ticket at
the primary election. Thanking you,
one and all, for your expressions. Vf
confidence m'me, believe me,
very truly yours,
"HENRY E. STEVENS."
Mr. Scott's Platform.
Richard Scott, a successful farmer
and stock raiser of Milwaukie, who
will oppose Grant B. Dimick, of this
city, for the Republican nomination
as County Judge, has filed his formal
announcement with the County Clerk.
Mr. Scott is one of the most substan
tial farmers and among the heaviest
taxpayers of the county.
In his platform, he says that if nom
inated . and elected, he "will act for
the best interests of the ,whole people
of the whole county; I believe that
Clackamas county is on the eve of a
great material growth and develop
ment and that it is the duty of the
County Court to do all in its power to
aid the upbuilding of the entire coun
ty. I believe this can best be done by
making good roads as far as possible
to all shipping points. I promise if
elected to do all I can to conduct the
business of the people as economi-
cally as it is nossible to be done, con
sistent with the growth and develop
ment of the entire county. I want
placed after my name on the ballot:
'Strict economy in County business,
just and economical administration of
probate affairs.' "
For Commissioner,
W. H. Mattoon, of Viola, has filed
with the County Clerk his formal an
nouncement as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for County Com
missioner. Mr. Mattoon stands for
an efficient ' and ' economical adminis
tration of County affairs. Mr. Mat-
toon's platform follows: "I will ad
vocate a business and economical ad
ministration of county affairs, low tax
es and a careful expenditure of the
taxpayers' money and no special fa
vors to corporations, all county roads
should be constructed on a good and
permanent grade and the roads that
are built should be kept in good re
pair especially the main thoroughfare,
all bridges should be covered to pre
vent decay and should be built high
enough to avoid danger from high
water and drift wood ; road conven
tions should be -held in each precinct
and the members of the County court
should be present. '
i Counsell for Commissioner.
W. H. Counsell, of Harmony pre
cinct, who has been suggested as a
probable candidate for the nomination
of Sheriff on the Republican ticket,
has modified his plans somewhat and
has come out for the nomination for
County Commissioner. In presenting
the claims of Mr. . Counsell to this
nomination, his frienas contend that
he is the right man for the place, his
several years' experience in road con
struction under the direction of the
County Court having peculiarly fitted
him for a place on the Court. Since
the County Court contemplates mak
ing some extensive improvements to
its roads and bridges during the year,
it is claimed that Mr. Counsell will
prove a valuable man as a Commis
sioner in outlining and in a measure
directing the details of these improve
ments. In announcing his candidacy for
this nomination, Mr. Counsell address
es the following statement to the Re
publican voters of the county:
"I hereby announce my candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
County Commissioner. I am a resi
dent of Harmony precinct and by oc
cupation a road " and bridge builder,
and if nominated and elected I prom
ise to treat all parts of Clackamas
county alike. I believe that the af
fairs of the county should be conduct
ed with the utmost economy; I be
lieve that all of our improved country
roads should be be kept in good re
pair during all seasons of the year and
any defect found in the same should
be repaired as soon as discovered: I
believe that all roads improved in the
futvve should be the main roads lead
ing Tack into the country; I believe
in getting the county out of debt and
keeping it out and by so doing we will
be able to decrease the rate of taxa
tion."
Respectfully yours, "
W. H. COUNSELL.
For Joint Representative.
J. U. Campbell, of this city, .this
week announced that he will be a
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for joint representative from
Clackamas and Multnomah counties.
He is preparing his petition and will
announce his platform in a few days.
Multnomah and Clackamas counties
have usually alternated in naming the
candidate for this office, but for the
last two terms Multnomah county has
named the man and this year Clacka
mas proposes to assert its claim. It
is likely Mr. Campbell will be the
only nominee for the oflice from this
county and Republicans here think
that Clackamas is entitled to recogni
tion at this time. Mr. Campbell was

DISCUSS THE GRAPE
Clackamas Horticulturists Tell of

WILLAMETTE VALLEY SOIL AND,
CLIMATE ARE RIGHT.
Concords Agreed Upon as Most Prof
itable Variety Something About '
Peaches.
Instructive anl interesting ad
dresses on grapes and peaches
were' delivered by practical speakers
at a meeting of the Clackamas County
Horticultural Society at a meeting
held here Saturday afternoon.
There is culivated in this county
only a small acreage of grapes
although it was agreed among the
speakers at this meeting that both the
soil an climatic conditions of this
section of the state are especially
adapted to the growing of grapes prof
itably. Every phase of the grape in
dustry from the planting of" the vines
to the marketing of the luscious fruit
was intelligently treated by compe
tent speakers.
The date for the next meeting has
not ben .determined but it is proposed
to hold the next session of the society
at Canby for the benefit of the horti
culturists in that section of the county
R. H. Taber in discussing grape cul
tivation, said that he employed both
the hoe and the cultivator for cultivat
ing and fertilizing purposes and in
pruning, which should be done in the
Winter, he follows the fan effect.
leaving three buds. The only object
of summer pruning, he said, is to keep
back the laterals. He placed consid
erable emphasis on picking and pack
ing the fruit as essential to the mak
ing and keeping of a good market. For
spraying he had used the Rex spray
with very satisfactory results. For
mildew, he recommended the sprinkl
ing of flours of sulphur. He contended
that the Concord, is the leading variety
of grapes for all purposes.
J. F. Broetje, who has tried for a
number of years to interest farmers
in the grownig of grapes, recommends
the training of the vines on trellis,
leaving from 6 to 8 buds. He says the
leaves not only shade, but nourish
the fruit, which gathers the greater
part of its nourishment from the at
mosphere, rather than from the soil.
He recommended setting the plants
7x7 feet and as a succession of varj
ties would use Campbell's Early, Wor
den, Concord and Niagra.
Only two year old vines should be
planted according to Henry Gans, who
was the next speaker, and these, he
said, should be planted deep. Mr.
Gans thinks there are 'only two varie
ties of the grape family worth grow-1
ing in this section, the Campbell's
Early and Concord, the latter being
the best keeper and seller.
J. H. Reid, fruit inspector for Mult
nomah County, gave some helpful sug
gestions as to picking, packing and
shipping. He recommended that
growers sell their grapes direct to- the
market to the elimination of commis
sion houses. He recognized in the
Concord the best variety for all pur
poses, other varities serving as novel
ties for table use.
In concluding, Mr. Reid suggested
the need for a grape factory in the
Willamette Valley, arguing that it is
useless to send East for an article that
is produced to better advantage at
home.
Cuttings should be started in the
Fall as soon as the foliage drops and
the plants can be transplanted under
favorable weather conditions, was the

up the vines the first year, pruning
not to be done until the second year.
All cultivation of the vineyard shouM
cease in August and the vines must
not be too heavily pruned during th
Summer.
"Peaches' were enthusiastically dis
cussed by Harvey E. Cross, of Glad
stone. Peaches from Mr. Cross' or
chard near this city took the first prisa
at the Lewis & Clark Fair, several of
the samples exceeding 11 inches I
circumference. Mr. Cross- recom
mends a sand loam soil for the suc
cessful growing of these trees which
J he says, should be planted from 25 to
cut the trees back in sections, his ex
perience being that this system pro
longs the growth and productiveness
of the tree. The Early Crawford, ac
cording to Mr. Cross, is the only vari
ety that can be profitably grown In
the Willamette Valley. E. P. Dedman,
of Clackamas, another peach orchard
ist, indorsed all jfehat Mr. Cross said
and added that under no consideration
should peach trees be planted on high
ground.
A. J. Lewis, newly appointed fruit In
spector for Clackamas county, spoke
in a general way on spraying and re
novating old orchards. He assured
the fruit growers in atendance at the
meeting that he did not propose to
employ drastic measures in order to
enforce the laws requiring the spray
ing of orchards and otherwise protect
ing the fruit. He said he would use
his best efforts to prevent the market
ing and sale of all infected fruit, a
result he felt confident will be attain
ed with the co-operation of orchardists
that has been asured him.
It was announced at the meeting
that the following phamplets of in
terest to horticulturists can be -bad
free by addressing a card to the Secre
tary of Agriculture at Washington:
Farmers' Bulletin No. 153 "Orchard
Enemies"; Farmers' Bulletin No. 171,
"Codlin Moth." Fruit growers by
sending their names and addresses
to the State Agricultural College at
Corvallis will regularly receive all of
the important bulletins that are issued
from that institution.
