El OF PROSPERITY
'
The. United States is about to enter
the most prosperous period in its his
tory, is the word brought back from
eastern business centers by R. M. Gray,
clothier, who returned yesterday from
a eeveral weeks' trip. New York, Chi
cago and Washing-ton are like great
carnivals by day and night, says Mr.
Gray, who predicts that prices will
remain high through the reconstruc
tion period.
"The world lacks food, clothes and
materials in amounts up to billions of
Collars, said Air. Gray yesterday.
"This country alona can supply these
materials and has the capacity for
production. Because lumber Is to be
one of the greatest factors In the re
building, the northwest should get its
chare of the prosperity that is open
ing up.
Foreign Trade Leaps TJp.
"In January -Just one months our
foreign trade amounted to $410,000,000,
as against a total of $470,000,000 for
the entire year of 1914.
"In New York last week were men
from France, who are to buy $40,000,
000 worth of machine tools, the same
in machinery, $100,000,000 worth of
raw materials, 800 locomotives and
69,000 railway cars. American bankers
last week arranged credit for Belgium
to $50,000,000, the entire amount to be
used in purchase of raw materials. The
eame amount has been arranged be
tween Berlin and New York bankers
for credit of Germany in purchase of
materials.
Eastern Cities Crowded.
AI1 eastern cities are thronged with
people. New York papers estimate
that 100,000 persons leave New York
each night to find sleeping accommo
dations, returning for business the
next day.
"New York has built 13 big hotels
two of them housing 2000 persons each
In the past year, but still can't take
care of the 2,600.000 transients, which,
it is estimated, she has every day.
"Broadway and her 25-foot sidewalks
can't hold the crowds who overflow
into the streets. Theaters good, bad
and indifferent are filled to capacity
and standing room every night. The
best shows can be seen only by reserv
ing seats three to five weeks ahead
of time. Hotel rooms must be secured
ten days in advance in most cases.
Prices to Stay High Is View.
"Prices of commodities are likely to
remain high. Blight decreases are ex
pected in cost of raw woolen and cot
ton goods, but 25 to 40 per cent in
crease in labor costs will more than
balance this and make the cost of
clothes slightly higher than at present."
Radical changes in women's styles
axe on deck for this season, according
to Mr. Gray. More than 90 per cent of
the women's coats being cold in New
York are capes and dolmans, he says.
an women a suits, loose belted ef
fects will rule," he says. "Snits will be
smart for street and outing wear. No
plain tailored or fitted garments will
be made. Fancy embroidered vests will
go with these suits.
.Men in general will wear the same
conservative styles, but young men al
most universally will have the waist,
line coat with the English effect."
Welcome Committee Landed.
Tribute to the work of the Oregon
soldiers' welcome committee In New
York was paid by Mr. Gray.
"O. C. Letter, Judge Burke, Walter
Whittlesey and Peggy Curtis are work
ing night and day at their headquar
ters at the Hotel McAlpln. Besides
. doing their regular tasks, they meet
all incoming transports, inquiring if
there are any Oregon boys aboard. It
has become a religion with them they
are working every night till after mid
night and seemingly never grow tired.
" "We couldn't stop now,' Miss Curtis
told me. 'It is pathetic to eee those
- boys when we ask for Oregon troops.
They are struck dumb at first they
can't realize they are seeing some one
from Oregon after a year or year and
a half overseas. They are simply
vawfully homesick. If Oregon people
could realize how lonely and forsaken
the boys feel back here among stran
gers, they would hasten to support the
work we are trying to do.' "

The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs ot
Umatilla county, Oregon, will celebrate
the one hundredth anniversary of the
founding of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows at Pendleton, April 26.
The membership of the order in Uma
tilla county alone exceeds 3000 mem
bers. All lodges will unite in a joint
picnic at the roundup grounds. The
committee in charge of the celebra
tion includes S. F. Bowman, grand
warden; Henry J. Taylor, past grand
master: R. Alexander, past grand mas

will have Ncharge of the Rebekah
branch of the entertainment.
Henry S. Westbrook, past grand
master, of Portland will be the orator
of the day, and will deliver the one
hundredth anniversary address. This
order is of American origin and or
ganization: it has grown in 100 years
from an association of five members
to a vast army of 3,000.000, the largest
and wealthiest fraternal organization
in the world. In all branches of the
order in Oregon the membership totals
S0.000. The members maintain a home
for the old and indigent members in
Oregon, located at Portland, of the
value of $50,000.
EAR FRIENDS Many of our gar
dens have a few fruit trees, and
nearly all have some small fruits.
especially strawberries. Today I want
to write to you briefly on the care of
this garden fruit at this season.
It is now time for pruning and al
most past time for spraying some
fruits, but much depends on location,
altitude, etc, and it is so very impor
tant that fruit trees should be sprayed
that we will discuss it as fully as our
space permits.
If you are an amateur gardener and
have "never seen fruit sprayed, it will
be much better to hire someone who is
spraying in the neighborhood to come
and spray and prune your trees.
But it sometimes happens that those
who are doing this don't really under
stand themselves what they are doing
as well as they think they do, and it
is well to oversee what they, do and
how they do it. unless It is someone of
well-established authority.
Tfeeeaslty for Spraying.
Fruit growing is said never to have
the base of the tree before applying
the spray.
On the ether hand, the green apple
aphis lives over winter in the egg.
These shiny black eggs may be found
on the young shoots or twigs clustered
around the terminals and are ' mostly
killed by a strong and late spring ap
plication of lime-sulphur.
But in general the Idea of spraying
should be to prevent infestation, rather
than to kill the insects already on the
tree, so the clean young trees need the
spray as well as the old and diseased
ones.
The dormant spray should be given
to all orchard trees except possibly
sour cherries, which are not attacked
by San Jose scale.
Spray from two or more sides of the
tree with the lime-sulphur solution,
spraying with the wind, and returning
to the same tree on different- days
when the wind changes in order to
cover it from all sides. Tour power
must be sufficient and your hose long
enough to reach all parts of the tree.

been profitable or useful anywhere n-1 of your spray pump to force the spray
cept as war has been systematically
waged against the insect and fungus
enemies of the orchard and garden.
Here in Portland and vicinity we
have all noticed the prevalence of
mammoth old fruit trees, gnarled and
ill-shaped and often covered with a
mossy growth, which is the -fungus of
which we hear.
These trees bear frnit from year to
year without any care or attention, yet
if it pays the orchardists and garden
ers of Hood River amd Rogue river to
spray and prune their fruit trees and
keep them in perfect condition, it will
also pay us.
Correct spraying will more than dou
ble the yield, of perfect fruit and in
crease the total yield of each tree enor
mously. Even if we have only one tree
we should make it bear all it possibly
can this year, when all food is so need
ed by the world, for fruit is the most
natural and wholesome dessert for the
year around, and so used releases much
fats and sweets for export.
The Lime-Sulphur Spray.
As we are not writing for orchardists
but for gardeners, who have a small
amount of fruit in the garden ' and
dooryard, we will not discuss the for
mula for spray solutions. It is not prof
itable to make these yourself in such
small quantities. Tou can buy what
you need at any of our seed houses and
depend on their figures on quantity
required and the general information
you get there as to spraying equip
ment, etc
The main spray at this time Is the
llme-sufphur solution. a dormant
spray, applied In the spring as late as
possible before the buds begin to burst
open.
It la a fungicide, killing this mossy
and other growths, and making trunk
and stems clean and glossy; and it- is
also an insecticide, killing many of the
insect enemies that infest our fruit.
The spring application controls San
Jose scale, peach moth, pear-leaf blis
ter mite and peach-leaf curl perfectly,
but it is not a sure cure for woody
aphis, green aphis, red spider and apple
mildew.
As the woolly aphis lives in the roots
of apple trees, it is hard to get at.
However, if the spray is applied when
the wintered-over lice are migrating
and are not yet covered with their
waxy coat, they may be destroyed in
large numbers if the lime-sulphur is
applied heavily to the body and crown
of the tree. It is also a good plan to
bare the roots at soma distance from

Into cracks and under a thick crust ef
scales and bark. If ths work is not
done thoroughly you might almost as
well not do it at alL
spray when the air temperature Is
SO degrees or warmer and the bark of
the. tree is dry. A tree 15 feet high and
with an equal spread of top will need
two to five gallons of diluted lime-
sulphur spray.
Wfcea Spray.
Spray as late in the spring as pos
sibls, whlch is just before the buds
begin to burst open, but when delay is
unavoidable it is better to spray even
when the bloom 1s showing pink than
to omit this application on trees that
are infested with scale, as almost all
trees are.
Bince San Jose scale attacks practi
cally all varieties ot cultivated orchard
frnita, many ornamental shrubs, vines,
roses, etc, llroe-snlphur could be used
on all these at this time.
The Sam Jose Scale.
The San Jose scale came to us in re
cent years from Japan, and is very de
structive. It is a minute circular scale
one-sixteenth of an Inch or less In
diameter, one scale overlapping anoth
er thickly, and of a brownish-black
color.
There are several other scales that
resemble this, one closely, but no other
increases so rapidly, and when trees
are thickly covered with small scale
insects of a circular form It may safe
ly be concluded that it is the San Jose
pest.
For an insect so prolific as the San
Jose scale, nothing but absolute con
trol can be considered, and the best re
sults are always secured by spring
spraying with this wash. By an appli
cation of it once a year, just before
the bnds open in spring, trees, etc,
will be kept clean and healthy, many
insect pests and fungus diseases will
be eradicated and it will a led rid the
trees of moss, lichens and other cling
ing growths.

Pablo Casals.
Pablo Casals, who will play In
recital "March 12 at the Helllg
theater, is a native of Spain and
occupies much the same position
in his native country that Pad
erewskl does in Portland, that of
being its most honored artist and
at the same time one of its most
active patriots.
Casajs came to America in 1914,
creating a sensation, but this is
his first extensive tour. He is
acclaimed as the king of his in
strument and one of the most
musjeianly interpreters before
the public His fellow artists pay
the highest tributes to his art.
Yea ye said: "He is the greatest
interpretive artist I have ever
heard." And Josef Hoffman said:
"When the Russians speak of
Casals they speak of him as of
god."
He appears In Portland as the
fourth event in the Ellison-White
