UGLOW CLOTHING HOUSE The Home of Classy Clothes n DALLAb, "Oregon is destined to become the greatest apple growing center in the world," is the statement wnicn nve members of the state board of horti culture include in their reports filed with Secretary H. M. Williamson. Mil lions of apple and pear trees are to be planted here this spring, 1,000,000 to be planted in Jackson county alone, which when in a few years they begin to bear fruit, will place the apple ana near erowinK industry on a plane such as it has never before known. Still better news to the people of the state is the fact that with the excep tion of a light damage done to the peach trees and loganberry bushes, t.hnTtrnme cold weather of January did practically no damage to the trees nf t.hfi state. In fact, thousands of slips are being sent out of the state to Idaho and Washington points for propagation. Reports were filed from W. K. New ell, president, R. H. Weber, treasurer, and M. O. Lownsdale, A. u. uarsou and Judd Geer, commissioners. Each and every one of them was filed with bright prospects, although all or tnem took occasion to condemn the portray ing of dverly big crops. The oroDS this vear according to tne reports will be average, with the excep tion of loganberries and peaches, the most tender of all fruits. There will be a light but excellent quality crop of these fruits, while the apples, pears and hardier fruits will produce a falrlv c-ood crop. The tips or tne branches owing to the gradual drop which the thermometer took before the cold; weather were but little affected and should bear well. The Diamine of new trees this year ha snrDassed anything ever known in this section. Millions of plats and trees have been set out with the result that within the next few years the out put of the state should be almost double that what it is now. Josephine, Jackson and Douglas counties were ail ronnrted as having planted many trpfi. Jackson county growers planted nearly 1,000,000 apple and pear trees, while in Josephine county nearly 500,000 grape vines were planted. These were mostly of the Tokay variety. Tn Douelas. where a large amount of clearing has only recently been done, the slopes are being set with apple and pear trees m large quantities. Many thousand acres are being cleared and from the tendency the present holders of the land have shown Commissioner Carson is of the opinion that many thousand more trees wili;be set out In the next few years. Comments upon the general move ment for the betterment of the orchards shown by the fruitgrowers were made by the commissioners in their reports. The growers nave awakened to the fact that a well sprayed and well pruned orchard will give much larger crops than will one only poorly cared ror ana bio uu. heeding the many requests made by the inspectors for the betterment of their orchards. i. . rAHuit of this not a badly diseased section is to be found in the state of Oregon, as every disease known to horticulturists Is soon rouna and exterminated. The diligence of one Inspector did away with the possi bility nr a aioonnf the brown tail moth as the bug was found before It could destroyed and other shipments watched. Portland Jour- fNew Style Oxfords i The hearing of the local option cases that were brought before Justice of the Peace Hardy Holman has been continued until Tuesday, April 27, at a n'nlnnlr n m when the case Of J.
