T There are sore spots in the vicinity of Monroe on account of the way the coyote hunters of Lane county are operating. ' The varmints are started in that county, chased aoress Houck moun tain into Benton county, and frequently the trail is lost on this side of the hill, s tnat the sheep killer is left to ply his trade among tne bands owned here. Since there are no dogs in this vicinity that are trained to chase these animals, it works a hardship on tbe Benton county ranchers, says a dispatch to the Journal, lience steps are being taken for a donation of a fund sufficient to secure the destruction of coyotes in this part of the country. United States Inspector H. Silver- wood ot the bureau of animal industry is in this section looking after several bands of sheep that were reported to be infsoted, says a Monroe dispatch to the Journal. - The federal government is working hard with, the state and county officials to enforce the dipping laws and clean np all bands whion give the slightest indication ot being infected. Mr. Silver wood imparts information re garding the construction of dipping vats, the method ef dipping which will se cure the best results, as well as the handling and care of livestock. It is more than likely that quite a lot of dip will be brought here before many days . Do you know that several fruitgrowers in Oregon : realized over one thousand dollars per acre for their crops the past year?

Fruit crops brought hundreds of thou sands ot dollars into Douglas county the past year. Why not multiply the an nual increase ot wealth. Tea acres of choice Oregon apples or pears will bring larger annual returns than 100- acres in tbe best wheat land found in the United 8tates. Plant au orchard. Do it now. Exchange. County Fruit Inspector French has his 'troubles these days. He has been making a house to house canvass in Cor vallis to get tt.e people interested in cleaning up their fruit trees, and in cases where he cannot get the owners to'be lieve that spraying is necessary he has taken the t'ouble to prove by examina tions that San Jose scale is te be found on most of the trees on their premises and hopes by this method to awaken such ah interest that people will make an effort to clean up and do away with this pest. If any reform is to come and any great good be accomplished in improving the fruit of Benton county this work must be done by the people themselves the inr ! spector is not supposed to do it all. Give him youJ hearty support and great good will result to the county.
