As the old year passed out.andthe new.
dawned upon us many of us made new reso
lutions, resolving that we would improve by
looking at the errors of the past. Now,
then, if you have not been trading with us
the past year you do not know what you
have missed in the way of saving money.
Take our prices all throutfh the year and '.
you will find to your own satisfaction that
we are as cheap, it not cheaper, than any
house in the valley. The public knows that
we have been all torn up repairing and en
larging our store.' Many carpenters and
workmen have teen busy for the past ten
weeks getting our building in good repair,
. so that trouble is about over, and we ex
pect to give more of our attention to our ;
many customers than we have been able to
in the past.,. We have quite a large stock
on hand that must be sold in order to get .
room for our spring stock, so come early
and get our price's and we feel quite sure
that you will be satisfied with our merchan-;
dise and also our prices.
Thanking you for past favors, we remain,
Yours Respectfully '

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.

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
