G, REPORTS ON ORCHARD PROBLEMS In the Annual Report of the Office of Experiment Stations just publlnhed by the LT. S. Department of Agricul ture are some Interesting statements of the work of the station at the Ore gon Agricultural College, much of which has particular reference to hor ticulture in the Hood River Valley. "In connection with the work on soil leaching, the tank experiments were continued with different typos of soil from different parts of the state," says the report. "Various fer tilizers were studied as to their ef fect on leaching. Absorption tests were continued, samples of water from the Columbia and Willamette Rivers wore analyzed, and pot experiments were conducted with wheat and vetch on clay loam and red-hill soils, with special reference to the effects of lime and gypsum. The work on thii project was completed and the resul' were prepared for publication. Pollination Studied Here "Practically all the field work In the project on the pollination of th apple and conditions affecting it ai completed, and the data obtained re lated to sterility and fertility' of va rieties of apples and pears and de termination of mutual affinities. This work was conducted at Medford, Hood River, Freewater and Corvallis. In this connection attention was ca'led to the cause of the striping or band ing of fruits, such as occurs on the apple and the pear. "The study of the irrigation of fruits in the Rogue River Valley was continued in two orchards, the num ber of trees under observation in such being increased. The station is now ready to publish the results cf five years of work, which has dealt with the effect of water on the soil, the trees, and the fruit; the relation of water to color, size, and yield of (ruits; and the formation of buds as related to the succeeding crop. The station chemists studied the compar ison of apples as compared with tho-e grown in the Willamette Valley with out irrigation. Bordeaux for Anthracnose "In further study of apple tree an thracnose, the perfect stage of the organism causing this trouble, was found and the results of field work on means of combating the disease favored Bordeaux mixture as a fungi cide. "In studying lime-sulphur spray an effort was made to determine the la gredients injuring the foliage and a fethod of preventing their injurious effect. The relative fungicidal and insecticidal value of each element or compound, as well as their effects up on the host plant, were studied. The work was pursued in the laboratory and greenhouse and in different orch ards in the Hood River district. A large amount of work was done on the incubation of hens' eggs dur ing the past year and data on moist ure, carbon,, dioxide, ventilation, and other factors as related to size, weight and death rate of chicks were col lected. The lime content and moist ure content of the eggs were deter mined, and a study was made of the influence of oil from the hen on the hatching of chicks. .Strawberries and Cherries "The horticultural department con tinued its tests of varieties of straw berries and undertook breeding stu dies, 1500 seedlings of known parent age being under observation. Work in cherry breeding was carried on to obtain a late-maturing strain of Royal Ann, the leading canning variety. With prunes a similar breeding ex periment is followed to obtain enrly varieties, and a prune survey of the state was undertaken as a basis of study of problemo relating to this crop. "The publications Issued by the O. A. ('. during the year were as follows: Bulletin 109, A Preliminary Report on the Vegetable Growing Industry in Oregon; Circular 7, Fire might of Pear and Apple; Circular 9, Iron Cow Stall. Hoard Schulmerlch Stall; Circu lar 10, Productive Qualities of Fowls; Circular 11, Garden Manage ment, 1; Circular 12, Three Species of Apple Plant Lice In Oregon, and Circular 1.1, Orchard Spraying." Brandy From Fruit Falls T. S. Kennerly .formerly of Baker, Oregon, has given up his attempt to utilize waste fruit from orchards at Yakima by turning It into brandy and will move to Coeur d'Alene, Ida ho. He paid a city, state and federal license ,but when he found that he would have to pay an additional fee of $.ri00 to the city before he could sell 6000 gallons of brandy already made, he quit. Nearly every man's Initials are fa miliar to his townsmen, but nobody ever knowa his middle name until his wife gives a party. WENATCHEE WOULD REDUCE! GRADE" Over 25 per cent of all the apples handled this season by the Wenatchee Valley Fruit Growers' Association were C grade. It is the confident be lief of the association heads that if some 100 odd of the 129 varieties that were shipped by growers were weeded out of the orchards, there would be no percentage of C grades to be entered in competition with the barrel apples of the East and Middle West. It is certain that were it not for the excellent showing of such varieties as the Winesap, Stayman Wlnesap, Delicious and other com mercially valuable apples of the Wen atchee Valley, the percentage of C grade would be nearer 50 than 25 per cent. Close to a million boxes of apples were shipped East by the as sociation this season: Tabulations showing the grades have been made on 892,702 boxes, or about 1,400 car loads. The balance of about 100,000 boxes ran In the same ratio, it is es timated, as did the S92.702 boxes, which were a bare shade under 25 per cent C grade, a trifle over 12 per cent fancy, and something more than 62 per cent extra fancy. Of Winesaps there were shipped 11,022 boxes, of which less than 14 per cent were C grade. Of Ben Davis there were shipped 58,412 boxes, of which 30 per cent were C grade. Of Stayman Winesap there were shipped 77,713 boxes, of which less than 20 per cent were C grade. Of Baldwins there were shipped 7,683 boxes, of which nearly 60 per cent were C grade; and of Northern Spy 2,868 boxes, if which nearly 70 per cent were C grade. Comparisons of the commercially valuable apples of the Wenatchee val ley with varieties that cannot ever be successfully raised here, may be made without end from a table show ing the grades of the 129 varieties of apples that went through the hands of the Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow ers' Association. Eighteen per cent of all the apples handled were Jonathans; 13 per cent were Rome Beauty; 12 per cent old Winesap; 9 per cent Aristo Blacks, Ganos and Black Bens; 9 per cent Stayman Winesap; 7 per cent Spitzen bergs; 6 per cent Ben Davis; t per cent Black Twigs; 2 per cent Ar!.u-v sas Blacks; 2 per cent Grimes Gold en; 2 per cent White Winter Posr mains; 2 per cent Yellow Newt-nv.i; lftper cent Delicious; 1 per cent King David; 1 percent Baldwin; 1 ;nr cent Missouri Pippin; 1 per cent licl aware Reds; and 8V4 per cent were miscellaneous varieties, totalling HI different kinds of commercially lin possible apples. PORTLAND WOMEN TO HOLDJPPLE DAY Portland women see no reason why they should not be able to buy ap ples this year without having to pay exhorbitant prices and If It can't be done they proposed to be "shown." lowering the cost of living has been the uppermost question before the Portland Woman's Club during the past few days and they intend first to place apples within reach of the con sumer at a reasonable price. To do this it Is proposfj to hold an Apple Day. They would pattern the affair after the one recently held so suc cessfully in Chicago when a large quantity of apples were sold by the women of that city on a curbstone market at a price much lower than the prevailing figure. The Portland women have been having some conferences with the gro cers in an effort to solve the mystery df the high prices and unless the lat ter can be brought to see the error of their way the Apple Day will be resorted to. BETTER-MARKET FOR APPLES IN ENGLAND Dennis & Son of London, under re cent date, issued the following market report : We are pleased to report that the situation on barrel apples has mater ially Improved and prices show- an ap preciable increase, notably in red stock as far as London Is concerned. Stocks of common storage apples ap parenlly are being rapidly cleaned up and shipments to this side have been diminishing considerably during the past three weeks. Seeing that cold storage stock Is being held firmly for high prices In New York and else where with a consequent further dim inution of shipments to England, there is every reason to suppose that we shall experience on this side an im proving market henceforward. Quantities of Oregon Newtowns have been heavier in both markets this' week and prices are easier. London and Liverpool are about the same as far ag medium and large size fruit Is concerned, but London Is considerably better on small fruit, roughly about 1-6 per box. We give below this week's prices: London Oregon Newtowns 9s to 10s; Washington Newtowns 7s6d to 8s; Oregon Spltzenbergg 8s to 10s; Cali fornia Newtowns four tiers 6a to 6s6d; 4 tiers 5g 6d. Liverpool Oregon Rogue River Newtowns, counts 88-165 7s 9d to 8s 6d; 175-185, 7s 9d, 190-210 6s 6d to 7s; Hood River Newtowns, 96-150 counts 10s to 10s 3d, 165 9s to 9s 3d; 175-185 8s 6d to 8s 9d, 72-88 counts 9s 6d: Washington Newtowns 6s to 7s; Cali fornia Newtowns, four tiers, 6s to 6s 3d, iVi tiers to 6s 3d.
