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.

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.
