MEETING OF CLATSOP
FRUIT GROWERS
SOME OF THE BEST APPLES IN
NORTHWEST ARE CROWN IN
CLATSOP COUNTY -INSPECTOR
C. S. DOW PRESENT.
The fruit growers of Clatsop county
met yesterday at the Chamber of
Commerce rooms and interchanged
ideas with each other and the fruit
inspector, C S. Dow.
Those present convinced them
selves that some of the best apples
in the northwest are grown in this
vicinity. One grower who has owned
and attended orchards here and in the
Willamette Valley, made the asser
tion that apples could be grown about
Astoria cheaper than at any other
place in Oregon.
Home experience and observations
of fruit growing in other portions of
the State were discussed.
It appeared that San Jose scale
and codlin moth cause no trouble in
this district
It was recommended that lime-sulphur
spray be used through the sum
mer to destroy fungus growths, in
cluding moss. Bordeaux mixture
could be used in the winter while the
trees are leafless, but it was dangerous
to use after the leaves and fruit are
on the trees, as it sometimes burned
them. Whitewashing the trunks and
large limbs was considered good.
Pruning should begin early in the
life of the tree by clipping back the
branches so that there would not be
large limbs to remove later, which
injures the vitality and mars the
beauty of the tree.
Those present were urged to thin
the fruit so that one apple shall not
touch another.
Drain the ground and fertilize the
soii. A vigorous tree will also great
ly protect itself from the attack of
parasites. Some varieties of apples
were said to be less subject to fungus
growths than others.
Mr. Dow stated that he expected
to make an exhibit at Salem during
the State Fair and wogld take the
best that the county shall be able to
afford.
The next meeting will be on the
first Saturday in April and all growers
as well as others interested in the
apple industry are requested to be
present.

Noah's ark. One family makes the
cows, another the h.orses or goats,
and still another the lions and ele
phants, etc. Each family sells its pro
ducts directly to toy agents who come
periodically to buy the separate
pieces.
The manufacture of wooden ani
mals is quite simple, but does not
want for ingenuity. The work starts
with a specially prepared circle or
wheel of white wood, which is turned
and grooved to make the outline of a
pony, horse or deer. The toymakers
slice these wheels as a loaf of bread
is sliced. The roughly outlined
pieces then pass into other hands in
the family and by stages are gradually
brought to a finished state. From

ALLWINS ARE ALL WINNERS.
The Zapf Hardware & Furniture
Company, of this city, has just put
on the market the best and nicest
baby go-cart for the money ever
heard of in Astoria. It is the Allwin,
and is to be had at the modest figure
of $5.25. It is one of the easiest
riders in carriages, and the baby that
is indulged with one dimples all over
every time it goes out. It runs smooth
as silk and folds up till it is almost
unrecognizable. Call and examine one
before putting money into something
not nearly, so satisfactory. The
Allwins are all winners, sure enough!
PERSONAL MENTION
FIRST TRAIN GOES TO SEA.
The dream that Hencry M. Flag
ler began dreaming ten years ago, of
uniting Cuba to the United States by
an all-rail route to span the 200 miles
of narrow seas which separate them,
has just passed the greatest stage in
its transformation to reality. So
writes M. B. Claussen in the Techni
cal World Magazine for April. The
first section of the remarkable "sea
going railroad" which Mr. Flager has
been building for the past three years
is now completed to the temporary
terminal at Knight's Key, 109 miles
south of Miami on the mainland and
forty-seven miles from the ultimate
end of the line at K:y West. On the
same day that the passenger trains of
Mr. Flager's road the Florida East !
Coast Railroad began running
through from Jacksonville to Knight's
Key the Peninsular and Occidental
Steamship Company put on a direct
boat service from Knight's Key to I
Havana, 115 miles away.
