Address Atx Communications to COOS BAY DAILY TIMES Marthtteld - Oregon WORK OF A COXGKESSMAX. Report comes from Washington that members of congress want an parly adjournment of this "long" session, giving as a reason that It Is .necessary for some of them to get home to look after the "fences." There is talk of an adjournment In .April, about the middle of the month. It seems that we do keep our con gressmen in campaign politics a very Wg part of the time. It was over a jear ago that these congressmen were elected. Not until thirteen months after election are they called to Washington for action, and by the time they are called they have to be gin to pay attention to their coming campaigns at home. The same men -will meet again next December, but that is a short session that will ex pire on the 4th of the succeeding .March. As wo have arranged the matter, there seems to bo no session of con gress that lasts for a long time and that gives the congressman a chance to get his mind off his own political caso and let public matters have all 3ils attention. It does not seem to bo very sensible arrangement, and yet It has worked for about a century and a quarter. t t t WITH THE TOAST AND TEA q GOOD EVENING ?

' COOS COUNTY AN EDEN EOR GROWING GOOD APPLES FRUIT IN MEET AND ILK Important Gathering of Horti cultural Interests at Cham ber of Commerce. AN INSPECTOR IS SELECTED J. A. Smith Named As Choice of Fruit Growers lor County Inspector An Interesting Discussion of Orchard Topics. About fifty fruit growers from var ious parts of the county assembled at tho mass meeting held in the cham ber of commerce yesterday afternoon commencing at 2:30 o'clock. Toward the close of the proceedings J. A. Smith, the well known fruit grower, was selected fruit Inspector tor the county, subject to the action of the state trult commission at Salem. The proceedings opened with Air. Cllnkinbeard as chairman of tho meeting, and shortly afterward a motion was made to form a county truit association, which was carried unanimously. Messrs. Robinson, Beule and Benham were appointed a committee on organization, and after some deliberation this committee selected J. J. Cotfelt as permanent chairman and 4. E. Seaman as sec retary of a permanent organizat' ju. Or. I'odl, 01 Myrtle Point was then tailed upon to address the gathering. "1 can say that the citizens ol Marshflcld and North Bend aie show ing a lemnrkable public spirit in this matter," he bald, "and,, without tho 'good will of the peoplo of Coos Bay there Is not much that could bo ac- compllsned to show an improvement in the fruit districts of the county. They have laid the foundation for a coining mctiopolis which will un- 1 doubtedly Improve the great natural 'rcbouices ot tho county. No place In Coos County has Bitch a lucure as Coos Bay. It is the central tyot, and what tho piesont geneiatlon Is doing the future geneiatlon will carry on to a gloilous end. "A fruit growers' nsboclation can not be any other than a tteat benefit to us truit niiiii in the county. What Is thili benellt? To go Iiuo this ques tion 1 will bay that in tno Garden of Eden the applo was coitbldered the most valuable of all fruits fit to be in paindlse, and It behooves the citi zens of Coos County to mako this district a paradise for tho apple by providlug lor It oveiy means tor its successful growth. When tho trees are attended to as they should be to preserve the best qualities of tho fruit, It will Indeed bo a paradise for the apple. "I have been a member of tho horticultural society of New Jersoy and 1 speak to tho fruit men as ono of them after foity years of fruit grow lag. What we need Is a fruit giowers' association which menns to do something to biltig out the best In tho country lor tho production of tho finest fruit in the world. With tho tiees well taken caro of and planted to tho uumboi of fifty to seventy In an aero of gioiind, $500 to ?700 an acio can bo niado each jenr ,and in no other lino of production can a similar amount bo niado tiom the soil. "Tho applo gives nioro profit than any other production of the farm b-- causo thoio Is no feed to bo furnished and tho only caio Is that of looking attor tho trees and keeping them In a healthy condition,. If you form an association of growers you must i'"kn up your mind to do tho right thing. It is not enough that you look aftor jour own tiees and that jour nolghbor nllow his trees to tnko caro of themselves. Tho Insects from your nolghbor will only havo that much nioro room to come Into your oichnid. Tho liiovoiuont to better the condition of tho orchards must bo general to bo of any value. "Another thing Is tho planting of troes. You miibt plant them light at tho beginning In ordor that tho treo may bo at Its best. Tho feed ing of tho roots of tho young treo Is a vory Important matter and must bo attondod to so that tho oncmles of tho fruit may not get In their work right at tho beginning. Thoro nro two T.luds of Insects, those which nro beneficial nml those which nre dotrl niantul to troa growth. All this must be Btudlod up and a fruit ln : eotor of tho proper klud can do a g.aat doal toward teaching fruit giowors tho proper thing to do. "Tho protection of our song birds is a very important feature. Fruit growers should never on any ac count allow their sons to shoot these birds because they eat a small quan tity of fruit. The song birds each eat an average of over a hundred in sects a day, and consequently it is better to let the birds have a little of the fruit than to let the Insects havo all of it To kill these birds is to kill your best friends." Attorney John D. Goss was asked to give an address of the legal phas es of the organization of a growers' association. He did so with a humor ous sketch oh apple eating. He said that he belonged to the oldest asso ciation on earth, that of the apple eaters' association, which was found ed by mother Eve. The place to plant trees, said Mr. Goss, was near the roadway out of sight of the house, and that the trees must have low branches heavily laden in order that the apple eater receive the full benefit of the association. The best time to pick them, he thought, was at night, and that it would bo a good move on the part of tho association that the fruit growers dispense with the services of a dog. I Speaking seriously Mr. Goss said that the statutes did not provide lavs I regarding a fruit growers' assocla- I tlon, but that It would probably class along with educational organizations. It could assume any name it chbose and there was no tax except that Im posed by the organization itself. Re garding tho enforcement of the state law In regard to fruit shipments, there was a fine and Imprisonment for shippers who send fruit out which I was decayed or defected in any way. An inspector could be secured, he said, by submitting twenty-five names of fruit growers in the county to the I county court, and the candidate se lected would have to pass a state ex- I amlnatlon as to his fitnebs for tho poLition. The expense to the county would amount to $3 a day for the In spector with a certain amount for traveling expenses. This would have to be paid by the county upon the ap pointment of the Inspector. I P. S. Robinson, a member of the fruit growers' association recently or- ganlzed at Mj'rtle Point, stated that I he was present to represent that or ganization in the friendliest spirit. Ho came over to be sociable and this was his first visit to the bay in forty years. Mr. Robinson gave some in formation on the organization of the Coquille Valley Fruit Growers' asso ciation, as it Is called, saying that it met on the first Wednesday of each month at Myrtle Point, and that every porson present yesterday was Invited to attend the next meeting. T.ie capital stock cf tae or0ariisailci. Is $500, at the rate of $2.50 a share, tho system being the same as that fol lowed by the Hood River association. B. H. Haskins, of Coquille, was the next speaker and he seconded what Mr. Robinson had to say, and that he would bo glad to seo the organiza tion join forces with the local organi zation and havo its headquarters at Coquille, as a half way point between Myrtlo Point and Marshfield. This brought on considerable discussion as to tho joining of tho association as one, and It was found that tho visit ors had not the power to make any doflnito promises In thl3 regard. Henry Bishop, tho local fruit buy er, was called upon for a talk and responded In a mannor thnt brought much applause. Ho had been In terested In fruit growing and apple buying for a good many years and h"d Vad much exporlencs with asso ciations In tho Yakima vallej'. Ho strongly advocated tho need for an association in this county and for an inspector. Tho production of tipples, ho said, was growing to bo not large enough for local consumption, not to say anything of shipments, and unless borne measures woro taken to produco a purer applo and a larger quantity, tho Coos county apples would not gain much fame. "Wo will havo to havo the trec3 Improved to their proper standnrd," ho said, "and It Is only by close ob servance of nature's fruit growing laws that this can bo accomplished. With tho introduction of tho scab It w III bo Impossible to secure tho high est price for apples, and It is only by careful attention to tho trees that tho scab can be kept away from the fruit." Francis H. Clark was called upon for a speech, which aroused much In terest because of it ardor for Coos county. Ho saw no reason why tho county should not rntso as good ap plos as anywhoro olse in tho world, and thnt organization was greatly needed. He asked that the fruit grow ers throw aside all potty differences and join in one body to mako Coos county fnmotis tho world over for tho quality nnd slzo of her fruit. Discussion as to suitable head quarters then ensued and Mr. Bishop asserted that Marshfield was the proper place for the real headquart ers, while branch quarters could be located at Myrtle Point, Coquille and other points in the vallej'. Tho fact that the shipments of fruit would be made from this harbor for some years to come made this point a fa vorable one In his opinion. It was decided to postpone organi zing the Coos County Fruit Growers' Association until a committee, ap pointed to confer with the Coquille Valley association regarding a joint association to take in the whole coun tj', had notified the latter of the de sire hy mail. This motion was carried unanimously. After the required number of names for tho appointment of J. A. Smith as inspector had been secured, the meeting adjourned subject to a special call by Chairman Coffelt. Turkey dinner Sundey Melrose. at tho Business Directory Doctors. D R. GEORGE AV.
