PRUNING FOR APPLE TREES
M. O. Lunusdale Objects to Theories
of A. King Wilson.
l.A FAYKTTK. Or.. March L'0. (To
the Kditor.) The apple-growers of
Orison had thought that, after the
virile and 'convincing editorial in The
Ort-frouian of last Sunday, there would
be no further question of the propriety
of rutting: down the old apple orchards
of the state. Daring indeed, it was
thought, would he the niossback who
would venture into the field where J.
C. Davis was so exquisitely trimmed,
plowed under and his resting place
so thoroughly harrowed. Hut lo! here
conies a valiant A. King Wilson,
striding across that identical field and
irivtnir us a hunch of the horticultural
wisdom of the aces. For varied as
sortments of misinformation and lack
of information this bunch is certainly
entitled to the lemon pie.
catch a wail from the distance as
Mr. Wilson appears on the field, weep
ing for "the old orchard that ban been
valuable to the farmer's family in the
past" (regardless of its present con
dition). JJethought I beard also an
echo from that far-away fog, pleading
for the old family horse that the
farmer's children had clambered over,
and had made their playmate for a
generation, but which was now af.
Xected with that dangerous disease
glanders. Ale-thought the echo con
tinued that a scurvy neighbor, a horse
breeder, demanded that the slandered
horse be destroyed,, adding, did the
echo, "a most extraordinary proceed
ing, to be sure." "Was it Mr. Wilson's
wall that I heard?
Was I mistaken in thinking that
Mr. Wilson cried from afar for the
farmer's old pet cow Infirm now and
infected with tuberculosis, and that Mr.
Wilson resented the demand of a
neighboring dairyman that the farm
er's cow, infected witli a contagious
and dangerous disease, be destroyed?
1 could not have been mistaken, for
these wails have the Wilsonesque
timbre.
As Mr. Wilson emerges from the fog
and comes into full view, he "under
stands that the state authorities notify
owners to trim and spray trees and. if
this is not done they (?) proceed to
cut the trees down." Then we are
assured that "this is ah,' a very ultra
proceeding," -don't you know. Ir is
difficult to Imagine what kind of a
thing one could have to manufacture
such an understanding with, for that
statement has nothing whatever to do
with the old apple orchard problem.
Every "old apple orchard" in the
Willamette -Valley is infected with a
very contagions fungoid disease whicb
is Incurable in these old trees while
they are In their present form. (Mark
the words.) No' amount of spraying
can avail. The only method of treat
ment that can possibly be of value- is
to cut off the tops end all branches
and to burn and destroy the same. The
tree may then be allowed to sprout
out again and in three years is a bet
ter tree than ever, producing fruit
that will be full of vigor, flavor and
keeping qualities. Fruit from these
same trees today has none of ' these
Qualities, because all the energy of l
the tree is taken up in the support of
an infirm and diseased top.
This proposed treatment" Is far dif
ferent from the "understanding" of
Mr. Wilson, who Imagines that by
"cutting down" we propose to destroy
these trees. We propose nothing of
the kind and suggest simply a severe
pruning; something that may often
be necessary in the life of an orchard.
As Mr. Wilson emerges from the
fog. fighting on the field of honor for
Mr. Davis, he is discovered suggesting
that -officials be given authority to
trim orchards or do whatever else is
necessary and charge the expense to
the owner." He is also advising hor
ticultural authorities to get out litera
ture on the treatment of old orchards.
Why, Rip Van Winkle, old boy! where
have you been all these days? Shades
of Washburn, of Craig, of Coote, of
Cordlley and Lewis, and of all the
other authors of recent years! How
vain have been volume upon volume
and precept upon precept. And oh.
ye State Boards of Horticulture! Why
doth the heathen rage and. be not
fructified with Information? Oh. ye In
spectors, show unto him of Missouri
that his "suggestion" has been the law
of the land for, lo. these many days,
and that we are simply following it to
the letter.- Oh. Rip Van Winkle! alack
and alas for words.
As tha doughty champion advances
over the aforesaid field of honor, he
stubs his toe on the resting place of
Mr. Davis, and sez 'e, "My sympathies
are with the pioneer who years ago
planted an orchard and has cultivated
and cared for it (ha! ha!) through
many years and it has been a blessing
and a profit to him." -No old apple
orchard in the Willamette Valley is a
profit to anyone, nor is any old orchard
cultivated and care for. Without ex
ception, every old orchard in Ihe Valley
Is reeking with an extremely con
tagious disease, more destructive and to
be dreaded more than any pest known
to the apple-grower. . In the present
form of these orchards, this disease is
incurable, and whether Messrs. Wil
son and Davis like It or not. these
trees will be made to come down and
be put Into a form wherein they can be
given proper care. It Is simply the
question of the slandered horse and
of the cow affected with tuberculosis,
except that we do not propose to de
stroy anything.
As the champion of pioneer forget
fulness and tilth finally passes again
into the fogs of misinformation, wail
ing wailing. I seem to hear a sigh as
'twere the wraith of Mr. Davis breath
ing huskily through the mists, "Vale!
Salvatore, Vale!"

DENIES ANY FAMILY JAR
Attorney for Thaw Says Relations
Are All Peaceful.
NEW YORK. March 21. In an author
itative statement, Frank Bartlett, counsel
for Harry K. Thaw and his mother. Mrs.
William .Thaw, today emphatically denied
that there had been any .disagreement
between members of the Thaw family.
"The stories emanating from Pittsburg
1n the last few days to. the effect that
there has been a disagreement or contro
versy between the members of the Thaw
family over the suit of Evelyn Thaw for
the annulment of her marriage, to Harry
Thaw, are absolutely without foundation.
said Mr. Bartlett. "There has been no
disagreement of any kind In Mr. Thaw's
family."
Speaking of the opinion expressed re
cently by the "alienist, Ir. Allan McLane
Hamilton, that Harry Thaw is a hope
less paranoiac, Mr. Bartlett said that on
two occasions recently he had seen Mr.
Thaw in Matteawan State Hospital and
had held long conferences with him.
On both occasions, he said, Harry Thaw
seemed to him to be perfectly sane.
