0, A. 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;
