' ' Ridding Orchards Of Insect Pests County Fruit Inspector Writes Time ly Article On the Value) of , 8praying. Editor News Record : A well writ ten and Instructive article came un der my no'Jce la the PacWlic Fanner Bn'tltled- "Insect Pests", and from a horticultural standpoint think it would! be of value to t ruit-grqwersf If they would read It. The writer of the article setsi out a few convincing facts; aimongj many good things he states, that few rea lize the enormous Iosbbs sustained by the insects attacking our fruit trees and other crops and that there is an annual lose of a large percent through these parasites. To me, these are important facte that all fruit growers should take notice of, and there la no reason why each grower should not) try end help protest his neighbor and' fellow fruit grower, and at the same time pro tect himself thereby. In. thlsi way we get rill of these pests. " Go through yoat, orchard carefully, examine your' trees, vices and berry bushes. See that when you spray you reach every corner o'f your lot. ind In this way you can surely tell whether It has been properly done, when It is done. The Pacific Farmer states farther, that, first, we must make a careful examination of the manner la which the Injury Is being done, whether by Insect or other animal, or fungus diseases. I fully agree with, this, but -here are a great many growers (es pecially, new growers) that can 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 Is an Important matter to grower, to see that their trees and1 plants are lm a ood healthy condition when- plant ing and be sure that tbey are from a reliable nursery. , I agree with the writer in. the mat ter of pruning. To prune for wood do b'q to the dormant season, and! for ruit In the growing season when- the sao Is In Its prime. July and' August, The wounds will heal up better. This sometimes makes an avenue, through which the entrance oi 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 lame old opinion, "That It does not pay to spray. I have tried It. There Is nothing in it." This always comes rom the lazy grower, who wants, all lis trees can do, but will not help them, then, gives the tree a shake, boxes his fruit and thinks he has something to sell, and wonders why he can. not get a price fon his prod ucts. This should not be, for the grower who la looking for good results, adopts the well tried methods and therefore makes a success. While the fruit grower la not all that builds up a country, the right side of the edger always shows the frultgrow r more profit than any other klrfl of husbandry with the least amount of capital Inves'ed. It also heal more people on less acreage, therefore builds up a carom unltM with a larger citizenship. The fruit Interest, is Just tn 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 eeVe al-communities. FORD C.

The annual convention of the Ore gon Retail Merchants' association, at Eugene during the past 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 prcUucts and the trend of the gathering was towaid better citizenship. ' iModem. coram erclal activity is em phasized by the progressive spirit of the Medford Commercial club. It has a membership at present of 362 and when one realises that there lis an inltlailion, tee of 5.00 la addi tion to the monthly dues,' one gets i better appreciation of the reason why people hear so frequently of the Rouge IUver city.
