Orchards Are Coming
Into Their Own
Claude C. Cate, plant pathologist
of Jackson county, has mado the
statement that It Is a good sign that
the banner year for Rogue Rlvter or
chard production falls on the high
priced fruit yeai For this reason
thousands of dollars will roll Into
the pockets of the orchardlsts, which
In turn will go into Improvements
and will Insurte future production on
a correspondingly large scale.
According to Mr. Cate twenty
thousand acres of bearing orchards
In Jackson county this year will pro
duce 1500 carloads of fruit The
production In order of Importance is
pears, apples, peaches, apricots,
prunes, plums and berries. For sev
eral years past a series of reverses
have hurt the fruit production In
this valley to such an extent that
fruit raising had been given a bad
eyte, but this year the valley has
come into its own and the faith of
those who developed the big orchard
areas will be repaid In full with n
single year's crop.
. Orchard managers report that
they can use more help, not only
during the picking and pecking sea
son now starting, but thruout the
year. The young orchards coming
Into bearing are gradually increas
ing their yfeld annually, and will
demand more attention yearly as
this Increase grows. ' Women are
needed In the orchards picking the
fruit and In the packing houses,
while men are being engaged to do
the hieavler orchard work, such as
handling the boxes . and haullnt
them to the packers. For the next
three months the orchards in the
Rogue Rlvler valley will be a hum
ming hive of Industry, v

ly Informed by the purchasers that
they are ready to close the transac

Bishop Preached
At F.L E. Church
Bishop Matt Hughes preached at
the Methodist Episcopal church on
Sunday last. The Bishop has lec
tured twice at our Chautauqua, so
our people knew something of his
eloquence; but In sermonizing Is
where his real power shows. He has
a style resembling Bishop Mclntlre
one of the greatest of the Meth
odlst Bishops and la graceful and
forceful. Ag an analylst he is con
vlnclngi. His text was that superb
epitome of human worthiness given
by Paul in his letter to the Gala
ilans, "But the fruit of the spirit
Ib love, Joy, peace, longsuffljrlng,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meek
ness, temperance."
. Thie Bishop said the fruit of the
spirit Is the real mn-Mhe inward
and the outward, the whole being
In his relations to his fellows. If he
does not show in his dally walks and
acts the requisites laid down by
Paul, then he is not what he should
be for his own good and for the
good of otherB.
The auditors carried awaj a viv
id picture of the true llfo an In
delible Impression of the words of
Paul, which should be the determi
nation of every man and woman..
In loplc and oratory Bishop
Hughies Is worthy to stand with tho
great Mshops of the Methodist
church. None . but great preachers
or young mett Bhowlng tho sure
sbeds of greatness are ever chosen
for bishops in thlB exalted church
one of the world's most potent In
fluences. ,
