BULLY NAME GIVEN NORTHWESTERN APPLES BLIGHT IS- Situation In Oregon Is Aided ' and ' Officials intend- to Frosecijte the f Work in Washington; Blight Js . UuCterlal Di6ase. 3ii 4 " 4' Washington,' D, t., Aug. to. The De partmgnt of .Agriculture ' has- received nonce uy telegraph from cltisena in thu state of Washington that certain peo ple are spreading the Idea that pear blight is not a baoterlal disease, and that th Department's recommendation that pear blight can ba dealt with by cut tin ft out the diseased portions of trees is not an affective measure. inpinlona - ma.-' atoo orchardists from following , the highly1 succeesful pfactl cat -measures recommended by the fed oral specialists, and thas lose their own orchards, and spread Uie disease, among neighboring orchards,-1 the department has issued the following' special state ment: , -A V "That pear, blight is 'a' bacterial dis ease of the pear tree , is not open' t J question. The .scientists have clearly established the existence of these' bac nation, and have reproduced the disease teria by means of microscopic exami jy lnoculatlnar fruit trees with then. The germ is the bacillus amylovorue. It is an oval shaped body, and ia 1-18,000 of an inch long and 1-25.000 of an Inch Across, and can be clearly seen with a high power microscope. More over, the scientists have raised these bacteria in their laboratories and have used them a large number of times in experjments to Infect healthy trees and 'friW.' "The solentlata also have proved that the pear blight can be communi cated from the blossoms of an affected tree to healthy tree by bees and other Insects, and that the blight that is held over through . the winter can ba com municated to healthy portions of tbe same tree or to -other trees by files or other insects. "Pear blight differs -radically-from the peach yellows In the way It affecla a tree. ine peach yellows noes nor show itself outwardlv In a tree until the entire tree is affected and cannot be saved. The pear blight, on the other nana, nae a purely local errect ana at tacks certain blossoms, twlga. branch ra, or a section of the bark, and leaves the rest of the tree uninjured except where girdling has occurred. "In thousands of orchards, and In the case of hundreds of thousands of pear trees, especially in California and Oregon, particularly In the Medfo.-d district, it haa been proven that by out tine out the portion of the tree affected by the pear blight and washing the cut with a solution of one part of corrosive sublimate (a highly poisonous sub stance) to 1000 Dart of water, orchad- lats can save most of the individuals trees and prevent the spread of the dis ease throughout their orchards. It therefore strongly urges orchardists in districts arrected oy pear blight to con tinue to cut out affected portions o( the trees and wash the cuts with thia mixture. In cutting they should wash their tools in this disinfectant, so that the tool itself cannot communicate the bacteria to 'healthy parts of the trees. Especially orchardists are strongly ad vised to go over their orchards very carefully In the fall and cut out all cases of hold-over blight, In order to prevent the Bpread of infections in dis eased trees or the communication of in fection to other trees in the blossoming period. , "In addition to the cuttlnir out and disinfecting process, the department ad vises orchardists to take steps to keep their trees- healthy and Strang, but not over-vigorous, so as to be highly re sistant to pear . blight. It warns or chardists to be careful in the use of manures and fertilizers around fruit trees, as anything; which increases tho rate of growth of the tree hasteaui the spread of the localized Infection. "The department has thoroughly test ed all known or suggested measures for coping witfi tnta Dllght. it has round the cutting; out and washing with the solution the one? reliable and practical measure, and recommends It as a fully tested and buccessful remedy. "This cutting out method will not save all trees, nor' is it effective with certain varieties of Rear trees which are particularly auoject to the ravages or the pear blight. It has. however, saved tne pear Industry of California snd por tions of Oregon' OM&HA SHEEP ADVANCED Market Shows Further Rise of 10 to 25 Cents; Hogs Up Again. South Omaha, Aug. 20. Cattle 8000.

Waslilngtoir.Growers Adopt Trade' Name,. for Best Varieties .and Growth; Only Eight Varie ties of Over 150 Are Picke'd. Leading fruit shipping 'organizations of the Pacific, -northwest made history the other " day. when they announced that their various communities would ship their best apples under one" trade name. . . ' Perhaps if Teddy Roosevelt wa asked to give his definition of the term "Skookum,' the name selected, he wouid say "Bully Whether Skookum la real ly bully or not will be answered this season, when the best apples grown in the world will b shipped under that title. - - r Skookum is of Chinook" adaptation, and really means something very good. It is something better than good; it Js the' height to which the Chinook Ian guage can rise in expressing approval of quality. At a meeting of the board of directora of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange, over iuw names were received in a com' . RU"Y? nani" campaign, which bad for its sole object the securinsr of a defini tion of the quality of Pacifia northwest apples. The names came from all tor ttona of the country. In fact, there was scarcely a slloe of the slvtlised world that did not contribute ' some name which the contributors believed would give the best possible definition of what northwestern apples taste like. Skookum! There was nothing else submitted that- would come within a piile of so tereely expressing the qual ity of tha world's beat apples. iWd it was adopted by acclamation. Organisations- of two states Oregon and Wash ington haver already signified their in tention, of using the name. The product of the 'most famous apple growirfg cen ters of the-world win thla year be mar keted bnder the inter-community name. Tho Rogue River Fruit & Produce aaso clatlon, the Hood River Fruitgrowers' Exchange, the.Mosier Fruitgrowers' as sociation, Cashmere Fruitgrowers' union. Yakima Fruitgrowers' Exchange and the Peshaittn Fruitgrowers' association, are included in the first real attempt ever made to advertise the apple by a trade name. ' More than 150 varieties of apples are grown and marketed by Pacific north west growers, but under the inter-community scheme of advertising only eight varieties have been selected. These are considered, the beat varieties grown in the world, snd by the world's best growing centers. Not only will certain varieties- be selected, but they will be marketed only bv districts that produce them In a Skookum way. Seasons for eating apples have been officially named by these organisations. The apple that is best to eat in October and November would probably taste like' a pumpkin in the spring months, or an apple best for winter consumption would likely prove very unsatisfactory eating if consumed during the late summer or early fall morfths. Tho varieties selected and the proper time for eating them have been offi cially named by the Oregon-Washington apnlegrowers as follows: October - and November Jonathan: brilliant red. a splendid family sort, juicy, rich and vinous. October, November and December Grimes; golden vellow, an old time fa vorite, tender and spicy with delight ful aroma. November, December and January Spitzenberg; bright red, the aristocrat of apples, crisp. Juicy, delicloualy rich and fragrant. November, December and January- Delicious; dark red, the latest favorite, sweet, mildly touched with acid, fine and melting. December, January and February Stayman; rich red. an Improved Wine sap, verv tender with rich sub-acid. January, February and March Rome Beauty: red striped, the champion bak er, eprlghtly and pleasant. February, March and April Yellow Newtown, greenish yellow, the best lato apple, fine flesh with refreshing high flavor. February. March and April WInesap; Intensely r:ch red, very Inviting.

Those that have ne orders are offering less than this, but are therefore not anxious to take hold. Similar strength Is shown in the oats market and No. 1 feed prices for spot delivery are firm today at $26 -a ton.

Wheat market continues to show a quiet tone, althougtf a further slight in crease in offerings is noted at interior ?o!nts.
