In another paragraph It says:
"A still further and iHTinanent val

SHEPARD TALKS
TO CITYJ5R0WERS
K. H. Nhepard, who addressed the
Portland Apple (irowers Association
recently, gave a very Interesting talk.
In speaking of the benefits of organ
ization he said; "The growing and
marketing of apples Is as distinctly
different as manufacturing and sell
ing, and In order to do either well re
quires special ability. As u rule the
Inventor, professional man, farmer or
orchardlst Is not a business man.
Growing fruit Is an industry, selllm;
fruit a business. These two depart
ments should be divided and men of
special ability selected to superintend
both. Every orchardlst of experience
realizes that his orchard commands
his undivided attention, Hlid few men
can find time to look after thelrctop,
harvest It, and care for the selling.
In addition, the small orchardlst can
not afford the expense to obtain the
necessary Information to market his
fruit intelligently.
"There Is but one solution we must
combine. We must pool our issues.
We must form associations, and
every grower must Join ami support
it loyally.
"It me give you a word of cau
tion. All land is not fruit land. Poor
trees on good fruit land will not make
orchards. Good trees on good fruit
land will not succeed without proper
care. All climatic conditions are not
suitable for the production of fruit.
How many ure of the opinion that
the entire northwest will some day
be one great fruit district? Heniem
ber, if you think of Investing, of the
words of caution I have given you.
If you buy of a company Ih doubly
careful. First, be careful that the
land Is situated In a good fruit coun
try. He sure that the company Is re.
sponsible financially and mornlh,
and assure yourself they will carry
out contracts. If you nre to set the
orchard yourself, lie sure you gt
good land. Above all, do not plant
varieties because they have done well
In some other district or because they
bring the highest price, tint select
those varieties that you are sure ill
do the Is'st in your locality and will
sell for the most money."

GRANGERS FAVOR
UNION HIGH SCHOOL
On February 11 Park Grange held
its first day meeting with a good at
tendance and a very profitable meet
ing. Ten candidates were favorably
balloted upon, and will become mem
bers the second Saturday in March.
It U-Ing Lincoln's birthday, under
the leadership of our lecturer, Sister
K. J. Nlcholsen, the Grange sang
"America," then discussed current
events. Under this head our deputy
state master, Hro. A. I. Mason, called
our attention to the consolidating of
our school districts. Thesubjcct was
discussed to some extent, and a com
mlttee appointed, consisting of our
master, overseer, and Prof. IJ. L.
Murphy, to meet with any county
committee or with any mass meeting
that may be held, and Instructed to
do all in their power to bring about
such consolidation. A recess was
declared at 12 o'clock, and the mem
bers repaired to the banquet room,
where we found all the good things
to eat of the farm and orchard spread
before us. It certainly was a pleas
ure to be there eating and drinking
with our neighbors. Under the leader
ship of our Master G. H. Hobbins,
Overseer A. C. Staten, and Secretary
Wm. Farrell, we expect to make Park
Grange second to none in the state,
and Grange Park a credit to the
county of Hood Hlver and ourselves.
Keep your eye on Park Grange.
