HriMKi.N'i! or the ravages of the rut
worm the worst wo have hoard is u story
(old by annul fiom Polk county, who wan
in Salem last Friday, and says he has
hail forty acres of onls utterly destroyed
by them. The oats were growing finiily
lit time and now the ground is hue
ot any growth. Wo also hear of
men telling that spots in fiolds of oats
lmvo been cut down by theso worms and
thoy arc very bad in gardens. An
Oregon exclmngo tells that n man who
found them plentiful on his place
gathered u quantity of them nud had
three .punts of solid worms. Take all
the reports that havo boon going tho
rounds sinco tho first of Mny and it
must bo coneoded that Western Oregon
is having almost a plnguo of these pests,
Mm. II. S. Jouy 1ms rccoivod another
oider for a largo sio fruit drier of his
patent. Ho has about as much -work
now in hand as ho can readily get along
wilh and will havo enough of his driers
in operation to givo thorn a roputation,
which is all ho needs to nemo him a
largo business in tho future Afler our
Stuto Fair is over Mr. Jory intends going
to California and will spend tho winter
thero getting his fruit drior into use.
Whilo fruit is not a full crop all through
Western Oregon yet it is abundant
enough to form nn important item of
business if woll Biivcd. The fruit driers
in orchards mo making it an impossi
bility for great drying factories to suceeod,
such us tho Allien fuut driers in this
plane, Albany, McMinnvillo nnd Oregon
City. Small fruits driers can bo suited
to tho wants of every fruit grower and the
family can do tho work at a nominal
eosl.
Tin, havoi.s of out worms in this State
this season surpass anylhiiigr,evor known
beforoiuid actually cause serious damage
to some crops, especially to gardens.
Tho man who grows corn finds them
around every hill and every cabb-go has
its especial family of worm. What is
tho eauso of this i-evcro visitation is
worth investigating. Nature is beautiful
but occasionally oIl'-cU her beauties with
noxious animal or vegetable life that
makes man labor for his bread and win
suecoa by hard and constant ditlioulty.
The cut worm hns niado its appearance
in Western Oregon in such numbers that
wo naturally enquiro of Nature the
reason of its coming. Tho ancient daino
is apt to look at all questioning ot her
acts with inditrbrenco and is not under
obligation to bo interviewed. All that wo
can judge by is that certain seasons gie
opportunity for tho animal creation to
thrive and increase and mild winters
with favoring curings must have given
greater opportunity, to those gardener's
!HstH to increase and do their worst.
Wiiii.S fbiut is doing well and
promising a full crop in many putts of
Oregon it does not do so well throughout
our State. We have hoped that intelli
gent people would givo us. particulars as
to tho promise of yield from orchards in
all parts ot the Northwest and justify our
belief that it is possible to establish
worrccpondonco that will bring out facta
worth knowing, Mr. V. K. Eldridge, of
Every fanner who takes interest in
fruit trees can easily gr'w his stork and
and graft bis own trees and 80 save ex
pense. He can plant seed ono year,
graft the next and two years from date
of planting seed cun have trcos to set
out. It is n very Minplo matter to graft.
It is only to make a cleft in the original
stock, take a scion and leaving two or
three buds on it, make a wedge at the
loner end, leaving tho lower bud at tho
upper part of tho wedge, insert the wedge
and let it alone. Some wrap with waxed
cloth but tho professional nurseryman
takes pains to match the outside bark
of the s-cion and stock and they soon
knit and grow. It is the joining of the
bark that makes it grow. The best way
is to leave tho young sculling in tho
ground and graft below tho surface with
out moving it, though the season is so
short for doing this that tho nurseryman
has to commence early, taking up nnd
when grafted putting them down in saw
dut, in boxes, to be planted in good
weather.
It is too late nonr to do woik for 1S81,
but not too late to learn how to do it.
We havo experience of our own that has
cost too much not to mako u'-o of it, so
we wiite while it is frehh in mind. We
had a lot of stock growing and havo had
it gi lifted with great pains by a profes
sioivil nurseryman who was improssod
with the excellence of "tongue grafting"
over the ordinary ''cleft grafting." Last
yo.ir we had a boy, who was a green
hand, who giaftcxl very successfully tho
old way of cleft grafting, using no wax.
I lis work was muoh inoro successful
than tho tonguo grafting wo did with so
much care this spring. In fact, the
tongue grafting has becu a failuro under
our experience with it.
Many people delay planting trees be-
causo thoy cost so much, but all of you
can raise trees as cosily as you can grow
potatoes. Plant out apple and pear
seeds in rows four foot apart, sowing tho
seeds protty thickly; also peach pits.
The surest way is to crack tho stones and
plant them early in the spring. Culti
vate these and make thorn grow nicely
and thoy will do to graft tho next spring
and winter, or tho peaches can bo bud
ded in August. Plums and prunes aro
now grafted on pencil stock, because
thoy do as well othcrwiso and do not
sprout all over tho orchard as tho plum
roots do. Somo peaches ought to bo on
every farm. Just try Judge Wait's plan
and you can always have good peaches
and sound trees. In tho nursery row we
havo a peach that grow from tho pit nnd
be attended to by any boy twelve years
old, or more. Ho can plant eoeds and
cultivate nicoly and cn do tho grafting
as well as anybody. The boys on a farm,
or oven the girls, can raise n thousand
trees eery year. An acio is twenty
yards long and eight reds v. ide, sny 100
rods, and four rows to the rod will give
frlO rows of 104 feet to grow trees in
rows four feet ypait nnd six inches in tho
row ami you will raise over twenty thou
sand tice to the aero. You sec a thou
sand trees can be grown on fifteen rods
of laud. Wo should like to get tho boys
interested in this matter. If thoy will
ask for information next winter wo will
post them as to tho whole business again
at tho host time for doing the work.
PIONEEE DAY 1381. 7
Tuosday, Juno 17lh was set for tho
Pioneer lounion at the State Fair
grounds, Salem, nnd .1 very fair attend
ance was proscnt, most who wero there
camo in their own carriages. Tho day
was fine and attendance would have
been much laiger but for the fact that
an admission fee of 23 cnts was charged
to all, the pioneers having their entrance
feo refunded when they paid their yearly
dues. Many drove up with their fam
ilies and not being advised of the
arrangement to charge entranco feo
cithor wero not prepared to pay or were
unwilling to bo so taxed without an
nouncement mndo before. Tho Society
certainly inndo a serious mistako in not
freely publishing to the world, in their
notices, that such a fee would bo exacted
as then no fault could bo found with
their action. I
The animal address was delivered by
II. Y. Thompson, and tho occasional ad
dress by Ferd. McConan, Esq., of Ore
gon City. Tho enclosure of the grounds
has beautiful gropes of oaks within it
where the various parties grouped to
gether to eat their lunch and bo socinl.
The attendance was actually smaller
than Uhunl because one-half nearly
drovo off rather than pay the admission.
The society needs some means to pay
for printing it reports and other small
expenses and a small feo for admission
may bo a good way to raise it, if the
membership is not large enough for the
purposo, but we hope hereafter announce
ment will be inado previously so that
no reasonable complaint can bo made.

What Trees to Plant.
Vancouver, W. T., June 3, 18SI.
Editor Willamette Farmer:
I am a new beginner in this part, and
I want a good home paper. I want you
to send me a speoimen copy of your
paper, and I understand you havo somo
oxierienee in fruit growing. Now, I
want somo knowledge as to what kinds
to plant. I havo thrco hundred Italian
prunes, and ono hundred of Potite
prunes, and one hundred Coo's Golden
Drop, and I have about two and one
half acres. I want to set this fall in the
same-kind of fruit, and I want to put
out somo apple trees, and what kind to
put out for profit, and I have two acres
in another place I want to set in fruit
tins fall coming, and winch would pay
tho best, small fruit or pears, and what
kind of pears 'would suit this market
host. If you can givo mo somo infor
mation on tins, it will greatly oblige me,
Now, if I werb'back in Missouri, I would
know what to put out. My land is bot-

Kvery farmer can keep a tow choice

These notes on grafting aro valuable,
if our readors will remember thcin and
go to work to miso trees. Fruit is going
to bo ono of tho greatest resources of our
agriculture. It is n matter that many
fail to comprehend in n true business
light
If we only raised a littlo wheat it
would givo us no im'portanco abroad.
The more wo grow tho more consequence
it gives us. It is so with fruit. If wo
only havo a ltttlo to soil tho worll will
take no notice of it. California has
found out that its fruit crop is a great
item in its income and as thoy have to
send it abroad it is necessary to hae
enough to eupply tho demand. If we
grow good fruit and make nice dried nnd
canned products,' wo can sell all at a pay
ing piice. It is possible that the mining
aud stock r-.iijing country a'ong the
Northern Pacific Ituilroad will need all
tho green fruit wo can spare. AVe should
certainly supply that demand and pro
duce ubnnd.tnt supplies for drying and
canning to meet the growing demand
from immigration to our own country.
This matter ot growing a nursery can
Our correspondent has a good section
of country to grow fruit in, as we always
have considered tho north bank of the
Columbia river, near Vancouver, as well
adapted to that pursuit. So far as our
experience goes, it is confined to plums
chiefly; also pears. In selecting prunes
and plums, ho has chosen the very best
for a beginning. Ho could add the
Poach plum, that comes earlier than
these, and can add tho Heine Claude do
liavay, that comes late, and is equal to
any, as it dries well whole. It seems to
us that pears offer as much or more
profit than apples. Tho Bartlett comes
in September, Clapp's Favorite a little
later. Tho Winter Nellis and Beurre
Easter mako four varieties of excellont
shipping pears that follow each other.
Concerning apples, wo havo heard that
tho Yellow Newtown Pippin does woll
near Vancouver. If so, they would lw
preferable. Tho Baldwin is an apple
that always commands a price. Tho
Waxen, or gate apple, is tho best for
cooking and drying. He can gather in
formation concerning different varieties,
and bo governed accordingly. Th
tinwenstein is a good apple. The Yel
low Bellllower is another. We tccotn
meud that he shall learn what bo can ot
the success his friends and neighbors
have with dillVrvnt varieties of apples
and pears, and bo governed accordingly.
