Fruit districts of the state might take a tip from Hood River bee keepers, who have asked that or- chardists do not spray their trees during the time the blossoms are fully opeu. This results in killing large numbers of bees, which are the most valuable helpers the or- chardists have. Their aid is in valuable iu spreading pollen from tree to tree. Word has already been sent out from the headquartes of the Oregon Development League urging that all sections of the state start early to arrange for exhibits at the Eastern land shows next Fall. It is point ed out it is not too soon to start the work of judicious planting of crops, with exhibits in miud, so that the best products may be sent away iu small quantities for this purpose A recent example of the effective ness of this work has just come to light. Having become interested in the Clackamas County exhibit at the Minneapolis Land Show, six families of Minueapolis sent a man to Clackamas County to pick out suitable locations where they might settle. Actual demonstration of crops grown ou Western lands is the best possible argument for im migration.

The concert Saturday evening in the Family Theatre under the auspices of the Civic Improvement cluh. was a decided success, although the inclement weather no doubt kept many from attending. The stage was prettily decorated with dogwood blossoms and the lady ushers did their part very giacefully, from escorting the peo ple to their seats to repremanding obstreperous hoys in the gallery and quieting crying babies. Talent from Vancouver, Port land and Springwater furnished the entertainment which seemed to be very much appreciated. Miss Bartholomew of Portland, opened the program with a piano solo by Liszt and the applause at the con clusion ot the number only showed that she was a special favorite with the large audience. The rest of the program consisted mostly of vocal music and readiugs and were well received. Mr. and Mrs. Aue furnished some excellent violin duets which captivated the audience and they gracefully responded to numerous encores. The proceeds of the entertain ment are to be used to improve the streets, a task which the ladies have undertaken and when the women engage in such an under taking the project is sure to be carried out. The entertainment Saturday ■ light is only a beginning ot the club's plans to raise money to carry out their purpose of making Esta cada more attractive and beautiful. The proceeds were $42 00.
