Myers, County Fruit In spector, Central Point, Ore.: Dear Sir: From a personal inspec tion, and information derived from the fruit growers of Jackson county, I' find that the fire blight in the orchards is to a great extent under control. However.there are yet some orchards yet diseased with blight germs, and should conditions become favorable reinfection of healthy trees would take place very rapidly. For mer instructions to you during the winter and early spring imposed on you the duty to warn the fruit grow ers of Jackson county that each and every one of them must co-operate with the inspectors by patrolling daily their own orchards for the blight, and if they failed to so patrol their orchards and permitted the blight to spread and menace other orchards that are healthy, that under the law I would deem it my duty to invoke the most drastic measures warranted by the law to the end that the blight mighe be eradicated in the orchards of the county. The laws of Oregon are very drastic, and when the penalty is invoked for any orchardist permitting a public nuisance in his orchard I know it is not pleasant for him, nor is it pleasant for me to en force these police duties the law im poses on me, you and the deputies working with you. From now on I desire the inspect ors to be active, and they must ob serve the following instructions, to wit: When you, or any of the deputies, go into an orchard and find blight in any part of a tree above ground, and do not find the owner of the orchard putting it out, but negligent ly ignoring the danger to his own healthy trees, you are instructed to abate said nuisance in a summary manner as provided by Section 5487 of the laws of Oregon, by chopping down said diseased trees at once. If there are fruit growers in the valley who for a day would neglect to cut out blight that might develop in the trees, he must not complain if we drastically condemn and summarily abate the nuisance he is permitting by his blighted trees. It has been the accepted idea that the Newtown apple was virtually im mune from blight. In fact, we were led to belief so by an able patholo gist in the valley, but the careful in gpectlon in Jackson county the past winter has demonstrated that it is a mistake to say that the Newtown is Immune from the blight. In all cases where the inspectors find blight in the roots of any tree you and the deputies are instructed to summarily condemn said tree, ex cepting in such cases as you may find the owner in the orchard treating and cutting out said blight. That all owners must clean back the dirt from the roots of their trees and ex amine the same for blight, and have the same cut out to your satisfaction, or else you are required to summar ily condemn and destroy as per Sec tion 5487. Instruct every grower he must eradicate the blight in his orch ard or else the state will destroy the diseased orchard. The orchards of Jackson county are too valuable to permit the blight to destroy them Then, too, at this time, should there be those who have ignored the warn' ings to cut out the blight, by the In specters, and should suffer the pen alty of having their diseased trees cut down, and the public nuisance they are maintaining by their negli gence abated, are not entitled to any consideration as against the majority of the growers who have earnestly eo-operated with the inspectors against the blight.

Thirty thouHand persons are giving testi mony in their home newspapers. The sincerity of these witnesses, the fact that they live so near, Is the best proof of the merit ot Doan's. Here's an Ashland case: S. F.I,ong, 364 Helman street, Ashland, Oregon, says: "I used two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and they gave me great relief from backache and kidney trouble. I take pleasure in confirming what I said about Doan's Kidney Pills In the pub lic endorsement I gave them some tlnio ago." Mr. Long Is only one of many Ash land people who have gratefully en dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills.
