It is not seeking bo have the apple show removed from the East ern Washington cltv. Considerable newspaper discussion, originating with Spokane papeis, on the ad Usa bility of a new location, preferably an Eastern city, met with dec.Med op position in Seattle, where It Is be lieved that the greatest benefiits of the Apple Show come from bringing Easterners to vUlt the orchards and lands available for cultivation' in the PaclflcNorthwest. The conveutions committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce sent out a circular strong ly urging this view and stating that, if the show was to be removed' from Spokane for any reason Seattle -would be glad to take care of it.

Ridding Orchards Of Insect Pests County Fruit, Inspector Writes Time ly Article On the Valut of 8prying. Editor News Record: A well writ ten and instructive article came un der my no'lce in the Pacific Farmer Eii'tltled "Insect Pests", and from a horticultural standpoint think It wouldi be of value to fruit-growers If hey would read It. The writer of the article seta out a few convincing facts; among many good things he states, that few rea lize the enormous losses sustained by the Insects attacking our fruit trees and other crops and that there Is an annual loss of a large percent thro-.igh these parasites. To me, these are Important facts that all fruit growers should take notice of, and there Is no reason why each grower should! not) try andi help protect his neighbor and fellow fruit grower, and at the same time pro tect himself thereby. In, thUn way we get r3J of thone pests. Go through yo it orchard carefully, examine your trees, vines and berry bushes. See that when you spray you reach every corner of your lot, and In this way you can surely tell whether It has been properly done, when it Is done. Tbe Pacific Farmer states farther, that, first, we moist make a careful examination of the manner In. which the Injury is being done, whether by Insect or other animal, or fungus diseases. I fully agree with this, but there are a great many growers (es pecially new growers) that cap not make a right diagnosis; therefore on the .whole, a good spraying will reach either of these difficulties and surely will do no harm. It 1 an Important matter ro growers, to see that their trees and plants are lni a good healthy condition when plant ing and be sure that they are from a reliable nursery. I agree with the writer In the mut ter of pruning. To prune for wood do so In the dormant season, audi for iruit in the growing season wham the sap is In Its prime, July and August The wounds .will heal up better. This sometimes makes an avenue, through which the entrance or germs may attack your trees, and by painting the end of the exposed limb you are sure to protect the tree. The writer In the Pacific Farmer states also, that you will hear the iame old opinion, "That It does not pay to spray. I have tried It. There is nothing In It." This always comes from the lazy grower, whb wants all his trees can do, but will not help them, theni gives the tree a shaken boxes his fruit and thinks he has something to sell, and wonders why be can not get a price fori his prod ucts, i This should not be, for the grower who is looking for good results, adopts the well tried methods and therefore makes a success. While the fruit grower Is not all that, builds up a country, the right side of the ledger always shows the fruit-grower more profit than any other kind of husbandry with the least amount of capital Invested, ft also) has! more people on leas acreage, therefore builds up a coram unityj with a larger citizenship. The fruit interest, is Just ta Its Infancy in Wallowa county. Let us make the fruit markets know we can grow the right kind, of stuff, there by advertise our county, and build up our several communities. FORD C.

The annual convention of the Ore gon Retail Merchants' association, at Eugene during the post week was a triumph. Its membership is compos ed of up-to-date merchants whose aim is to serve the consumers with first-class- merchandise at moderate prices. During the discussion at the various sessions of the convention, they Insisted on pure food prdlucts and the trend of the gathering was toward hotter citizenship. iModenv commercial activity is em phasised by the progressive spirit of the Medford Commercial! club. It has a membership" at present of "62 and when one realises that there Is an initiation, fee of $5.00 la addi tion to the monthly duos, one gets a better appreciation of the reason why people hear so frequently of the Rouge River city.
