Ab - Interesting; Letter on the Subject Prom a Former Sw Zealander. Poetlanb, Or., April 30, 1891. Mr. J. A. Varney, Horticultural Inspec " tor for Oregon. Dbas Sib : Reading part of your re port in the Evening Telegram of April 29, I was much struck with its usefulness and wish to make a few remarks. . ' About four years ago I was residing at Nelson, a town in New Zealand, once famous all over the colony for its fine fruit orchards etc., but now -or I mean then, sad to relate, all its former pride in that respect has departed. :The scale, six various kinds, had destroyed every thing and not . satisfied with ' stopping there, began on the hedgefj of English hawthorn, and even attacking the. forest trees, taking the life out of the trees. Well the government secured the ser vices of a scientist there ; have forgot his name, who came down and delivered lectures at Nelson, on the scale, etc., but he told them it was like fastening the stable door when the horse had . gone. He gave remedies for the different scale paracites, but he said it was too late for two tin els, they were in the forests already, advised most of them to burn their trees np and replant, and attend to them. - The codlin moth they had bad, but that was their easiest difficulty, work of various kinds he said would re duce that to a minimum, mentioned many ways to reduce them, some were bonfires at night," digging around the trees, fowls in orchard, the introduction j and preserving of insect devouring I birds, sprays, washes and many other ! plans. j Having a few young trees in the Wil ' lamette valley how sad it would be for these pests to destoy everything. So Mr. Inspector go for them that have the scale, red-hot. Show them no mercy. Most of them are ignorant, but know ingly, are far worse than highway rob bers. Excuse me saying all - thie, , but there is a bright future for Oregon, everything is in our favor if all put their shoulders to the wheel. Respectfully yours, ; l Alfbkd Whketeb. 1 A Pleasant Surprise! Last evening the young folks whist club met in rendesvous at the -residence of Mr. Win. Michell for the purpose of taking Mrs. Geo.

The evening was i fcpent . in playing i drive whist, Miss Hollister. winning the first prise and Miss-Meyers the booby. , ,Xce cream.. ,and , cake were, served, at about eleven o'clock and the party broke up within an hour, having , had - a thor oughly good time.
