"I hope that your department will Issue no euch bulletin as our grow, em seem to think Is proposed, for I believe that such a publication could do much more harm than good to an Industry that has been very profitable and successful," he says In the letter. "Returns from our orchards show that the raising of apples, pears, peaches, prunes, cher ries and walnuts has been exceeding ly profitable to those engaged In this Industry and that the excellent qual ity of our fruit has probably done more to advertise Oregon than any other of our resources, not excepting even our mines and timber. Much money hus l)een Invested In tbe clear ing of our rich agricultural lands and the setting out of orchards and much more will be Invested If this natural Industry Is permitted to grow on Its merits as a revenue pro ducer. "There may le Instances where speculators have abused the confi dence 'of prospective Investors, and have sold them worthless lands which may have lieen represented as being very valuable orchard lands. Although I have known of no such practices, I can see that such repre sentations may have been made. And supposing that they have been mii'le, could not such practice be re duced to a minimum by prosecuting the offenders under the fraud order law or other Federal statutes against fraudulent practices? It ap pears to me that this would be the proper way to proceed rather than to Issue a general warning that may tend to blight the Industry. "I earnestly request that this mat ter be given your further considera tion, and hope that before any action Is taken by your department, I may be given a further opportunity to present the matter In behalf of our horticulturists."

BULLETIN TREATS OF COVER CROPS The Importance of the growing of cover crops In orchards Is empha sized In a recent bulletin on orchard Irrigation Issued by the Oregon Ag rlcultural College. "Cover crops add humus and fibre to the soil," says tbe liulletlu. "The fibre adds to tbe inolsture-holdliig capacity of the light tolls and makes the heavier types more friable, and more easily bandied. Any soil of high clay or silt content and low In organic matter Is not only difficult to handle with respect to cultiva tion, but also as to Irrigation. "This type of soli takes up water very slowly. Percolation Is so slow that a large number of furrows are necessary If a sufficient amount of water Is to be supplied. Thus a greater surface for evaporation Is exposed, and such soils bake and crack badly on drying out. A good cover crop, either natural or sown If plowed under early In the spring, will aid greatly In overcoming these difficulties." In experiments It was noticed that when there had been a late Irriga tion a good natural cover crop grew up, of chlckweed, alfalfa and various grasses. In one orchard cover crops of vetch and rye and of barley, sown early In September and after late Ir rigations, started readily and made fine growth. An early cover crop of this nature not only adds Its own fibre to the soil, but prevents the leaves from blowing awnr, thus keeping them where they will be of benefit. Those cover crops which get a good start early In the tall make the best kind of protection tor the soil during the winter." OBITUARY IH. M. K. HHAW The funeral of Ir. M. F. Shaw, who died Wednesday, was held Thursday afternoon and the large attendance of friends attested to the popularity of the deceased, wbo was one of the oldest and best-known practloners In the county.

A few years later they decided to move to the Coast and. coming to Oregon, located at F.nterprlse, Wal lowa county. After practicing there for several years he moved to Hood River. That was about a dozen years ago. About three years later It was found desirable to seek a cbnnge of climate for the benefit of Mrs. Shaw's health. He sold his practice to Dr. Dumble nnd they moved to Ashland. After spending about three years there they, re turned to Hood River. Mrs. Shaw's death occurred about three years ago. Dr. Shaw had been a most devoted husband nnd her denth came ns a great shock. It was soon afterwards that be showed signs of falling health and he buffered a great decline from that time.
