THOMPSON TALKS
! 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."

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.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONTEST
HAS EXCITING FINISH
A Sunday School contest held at
the Valley Christian church for six
weeks has Just come to an exciting
Mulsh. In the contest, which In
volved attendance, scholarship and
behaviour, the Hustlers won from
the Cheerful Workers by a narrow
margin. In honor of the victors, the
Cheerful Workers entertained Satur
day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Jeorge Mcintosh. A delicious sup
per was served, games were played,
th house was beautifully decorated
and a jolly time enjoyed by both vic
tors and vanquished.
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."
