ON TREEGROWING ; "Crowing and Selection of Nursery .Stock" was the subjivt of a lecture 'Saturday night by ('. l. Thompson j of this city, In the course on apple I culture by the educational depart Intent of the Portland Y. M. ('. A. ' Mr. Thompson has been raising I utirserv stock In the Hood Klver dis trict for the past eight years, devot ing himself iirlncipally to apple stock. "As the nursery stock Is the fouu datioti of nn orchard, the same cire should be exercised," said Mr. Thompson, "as In the selection of the foundation of any other kinds of luiKluess. It Is hoped that In time It will become as exact a science as the breeding of livestock. Nursery stock Is the result of planting the s'eed aud the apple seed uow almost exclusive ly used comes from France, as the seed from that country Is found to be the most hardy and less frequently sterile. Apple-seed planting Is a pre carious hu-dness, as frequently the entire season's crop Is lost from one cause or another, but this only af fects the nurseryman. When the seedling starts to grow Its growth must be continuous and for this rea son Irrigated land Is deemed Itest. iraftlng the buds and scions Is not u litlicult process, but some care must be exercised In not permitting them to choke afUT their new growth has started. The selection of buds aud scions should la- only from healthy and good bearlug stock. "At the eud of the year the nursery stock Is ready for the market and the seedlings should be dug up with the greatet.t care so as not to damage the roots In any way nor permit them to be exposed to the air longer thau absolutely necessary. The present Inspection of nursery stock Is entirely inadequate. In fact the seedllugs should be Inspected after being takeu from the ground, as this is the only way it can be done prop erly. "Nurserymen, as a rule, are as honest as those engaged In any other line of business. When you want to buy go to the uearest reliable dealer, In the same district In which your orchard Is. If this Is uot feasible, se cure your trees from some climate that Is more vigorous, so as to have hardy stock." Copy for advertisements MUST be in the office by Monday NOON. INSPECTS UPPER VALLEY ORCHARDS W. II. Lawrence, who In now the official county fruit expert, made a trip of Inspection to Ppper Valley the last of the week and visited a num ber of the young orchards In order to determine how miu'li damage had lieeu done by the heavy snow. He also conducted a couple of public mtvtlngs. Professor Lawrence reached liab sou brothers' ranch Thursday after noon and held a short meeting there for the benefit of about a score of or chardists. Afterwards a n inn ler ac companied Mr. Lawrence on a tour of inspection through some of the or chards. He reports that the trees are In about the same condition as those In t lie lower valley. Some or chards are very badly damaged and others are practically free from In jury. He stated, however, that no permanent injury had been done the orchards for the reason that the young trees can be reheaded and In two or three years' time It will never be known that any Injury occurred. Oil Friday a meeting was held at Parkdale, called by the Progressive Association. Professor Lawrence talked on the subject of repairing injured trees. He also explained to the orchardlsts his plan of obtaining maximum am) minimum tempera tures throughout the vall.ty In order to determine whether orchard heat ing w ill Is- desirable and to locate the cold pockets and cold air cur rents. Professor La wrence explains these plans at more length In another column. He found the orchardlsts all willing to assist him in these oh gervatlons.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT IN LUMBER TRADE Lumbering being one of the chief Industries of this county the follow ing from the Orvgotilau will be wel come news: F. ('. Knapp, who while on a busi ness trip to the east, was elected president of the Portland CliamU'r of Commerce when that organization held Its annual meeting, returned much pleased with the generally Im proved business conditions that he found In parts of the states that he visited. Mr. Knapp Is head of the Peninsula Lumber company aud as a manufac turer of lumber paid more particular attention to the lumber market aud says he was pleased to find the out look considerably Improved. "The luuilK'r market has been dull tor a considerable time," said Mr. Knapp, "but it Is gradually Improv ing ami I look for a very good year in spite of it being a presidential year. Business men with whom I talked said that the indications all point to this being the U'st presiden tial year ever recorded In the history of the nation. I'sually presidential year means a very heavy falling off in manufacturing and business, but this year, It appears, conditions will uot be. disturbed much. "Business lias Improved a great deal already since the first of the year, so 1 was told, aud this wus really more than many expected be cause of the near approach of elec tion time."
