IFRUIT GROWERS'
ASSOCIATION
DATES FOR MEETINGS.
They Will Be Held at Ferest Greve,
Hillseore, Reedville and Bee),
verten In October.
County Fruit Inspector Harris
was in the city Tuesday on bis regu
lai round oi inspection, and during
a visit of a few minutes at this office
informed us that he was highly
gratified with the way fruit growers
are falling into line in the endeav
or to better the fruit conditions of
Washington county. He said he
has bad very little trouble with the
growers and all have promised to
spray their trees and do all possible
in an endeavor to rid orchards of
the tru it pests.
Mr. Harris is organizing the Fruit
Growers' Association in severa
towns lu the county, and be hopes
to have the organization completed
this week. There is an association
at Forest Grove now, which is doing
great good along the lines of or
chard protection, and in the towns
of Beaverton, Reedville, and Hills
borothe association will be com
pleted and in working order before
the end of the week. On October
24th a meeting of the Fruit Grow
ers Association will be held at Bea
verton; at Reedville on the 25th;
Hillsboro, the 26th, and at Forest
Grove on the 27th. Mr. Harris is
anxious that these meetings should

The following state law may be of
special interest to all growing fruit
in this section, and we publish it
in full for their perusal:
An Act to protect the fruit and hop in
dustry in the Htate of Oregon. Beit en
acted by the Legislative Assembly of
the Btate of Oregon :
Section 1. That It shall hereafter be

or ornamental trees and knowing such
to be infected with any kind of insects,

or destroy the same in such manner as
the fruit commissioner of bis district
may direct.
Section 3. It shall be unlawful for
any person, firm, or corporation doing

said materials.
Section 4. Any person, firm, or cor
poration selling any of the above mater
lals which do not conform with the cer

Section 6. It shall be unlawful (or
any person, nrm, or corporation to im

of any kind in the State of Oregon.
Section 6. Every person who packs

tars.
Section b. It shall b the duty of the
commissioner of the Stale Board of Hor
liculture of the district in which a viola
tion of this act occurs, to present the evi
dence of the case to the District Attor
ney, whose duty It shall be to prosecute
any person guilty of a violation of this
act; which prosecution may be brought
in any of the Justice Courts of this
ute. '
Section 0. Inasmuch as the horticul
tural interests of this state demand im
mediate attention, this act shall be in
full force and effect trout and after its
approval by the Governor,
Arraovco by thi Govbbkob.
A person traveling from one end
of the valley to the other will be
surprised to note the thousands of
bushels of apples rotting on the
ground. Because of the order is
sued by fruit Inspectors, growers
dare not offer for sale diseased fruit,
and upon examination it will be
found that most of the apples going
to waste are worm eaten or covered
with San Jose scale. Nothing but
a systematic fight against the scale
and codlin moth will save the im
mense orchards now going to ruin
some oi them right here in our own
county. On a recent trip over the
Corvallis & Eastern railroad we no
ticed many fine orchards heavily
laden with fruit and was told that
much of it would have to be sent to
the mill or fed to the hogs because
of the scale, which prevented a sale
of the fruit in open market. Grow
ers in that section are preparing to
fight the pest and, we understand,
will organize and go at it in ass
tematic manner.
A special from Grant's Pass says
the Grant's Pass Fruitgrowers'
Union which was organized early
this tall, has begun a campaign to
exterminate the pests that threaten
to ruin the fruit industry in Jose
phine couutv on the Southern Paci
fic railway. So great has been the
damage to the fruit this season that
fully seventy-five per cent of the
fruit is affected more or less with
San Jose scale or codlin moth, and
the loss to the farmers will reach
fully $30,000 at 50 cents a box.
The farmers and business men,
as a result of the six fruit growers'
meetings recently held in that
county by Dr. Withy combe and in
stitute staff of the State Agricultur
al College, have come to realize the
oss that the pests are causing and
the value that the fruit industry
would be if carried on as it is at
Hood River and other sections.
Josephine county is in the center of
Rogue River valley, famous for
producing the finest apples, pears,
peaches and grapes, but owing to
gold mining having been the lead
ing industry for fifty years, fruit
raising has not been given the
prominence that it has been in the
adjoining section of the valley em
braced in Jackson county.
Now the orchards are to receive
quite as much attention as the
mines. At a meeting of the Fruit
growers' Union Saturday, it was
decided to have a county fruit in
spector appointed by the county
court. County Judge Stephen Jew
ell was present at the meeting and
promised the heartiest co-operation
of the county court in enforcing the
state law against such tree owners
as would not free their trees of pests
or cut them down. Hon. A. II.
Carson, member of the State Board
of Horticulture for that district, is
assisting the union in the war on
the pests and it is the purpose to
have as pertect a lot of fruit another
year to ship from Josephine county
as was ever put on the market.
The French are said to be the most
saving of people, and the Americans
have the reputation of being the
most extravagant. Yet, in twenty
years, bank deposits in this country
have increased at a faster ratio than
they have in France. From 1885
to 1905 bank deposits in France In
creased from $ 182,000,000 to $579,'
000,000, or about 2 1 8 per cent. De'
posits in national banks in the Unit
ed States for the same period in
creased from $1,248,000,000 to 4,'
735,000,000, or 271 per cent. No
other nation can show such remark
able growth as the United States
and France.
Reports from the hop yards at Jo
sephine county are to the effect that
the yield is a heavy one, the rain
doing but slight damage. Quality
is good and yield one per cent
heavier than last year.

ON A "MILWAUKEE" DINER.
A Finger-Bow' Story that Actually
Hspesns sn the Chicago, Mil.
watiks . St. Paul Ry.
There was scene in the dining
car of The Fionecr limited on The
Milwaukee Road Thursday night
worthy ot a place m an American
comedy, and yet serious enough to
afford Clyde Fitch material for an
act of drama. When The Pioneer
left for Chicago, there were million
aires and business men from Chica
go, Milwaukee and St. Paul seated
at the tables awaiting service. Col.
Dan Healy, the veteran dining car
conductor of the train, was there al
so, while out on the vestible, peer
ing through the plate glass door,
were three construction foremen, re
turning from week on the road be
tween Chicago and Wadsworth.
The three constructionists placed
their bauds on the knob of the door
alternately and finally one oi them,
taunted by the other, ojeued the
door and entered the diner, followed
by his comrades. Then the curtain
rose on the play.
Approaching Col. Healy, the
foremost ot the horny-handed road
builders extended his biawny arm
and apologetically inquired if be
and his partner could "secure a bite
if they had the money." j
Sure, M;ke," said Conductor
Dan with a hearty laugh. "Come
on in.
Before reaching the interior of
the Limited! palatial diner, howev
er, the leader of the men who build
railroads tapped Conductor Dan ou
the should?, and confidentially
whispered in'iis ear.
"Are you a officer of the road?"
''Sure, Mik,'' was the ready re

"So are I,"

"Will anyone object to us?" tim
idly negotiated the other members
of the trio.
"Not vhile I'm around. Every

Some Hillsboro Onions.
One hears many tales as to the
number of sacks of onions that can
be raised to the acre. Here is a
bit of intormation on that subject
that we can vouch for. An
acre of the C. K. Henry onion land
was measured off and it ran just
536 sacks. This is not an unus
ually large amount in proportion to
the balance of his crop. He has
seventeen acres in onions and the
closest estimate of the product is
4575 sacks. The weight cannot be
given absolutely correct, but on the
crop it runs something over 40,000
pounds. The market on onions at
present is $1.50 per hundred. This
makes a nice figure tor the grower.
In the oue acre piece one hundred
onions were weighed and found to
weigh exactly 101 pounds. The
land is properly worked, and Mr.
Henry believes in using plenty of
fertilizer. He now has six car
loads on hand and will get in ten
more. Union land near this place
on which no fertilizer is used will
run less than seventy-five sacks to
the acre while the same land a few
years ago with the proper use of
fertilizer ran between 350 to 425
sacks to the acre. ' These tew facts
should prove to the onion grower
that a well cared for piece of onion
land is as good as a legacy.

Questions For School Directors.
Are the school grounds properly
fenced, or the vagrant hogs of the
neighborhood permitted to hold pub
lie meetings on the school lot or in
the school house cellar?
Are the outbuildings in strict con
formity with the law and have they
been properly cleaned and disinfect
ed?
Are their doors hung without eith
er hinge or latch, or do they disre
gard these as non-essential to out
house architecture?
Are these outbuildings kept in a
respectable condition, or are they
dismal, dirty, dingy, disagreeable
and disgraceful, devil-devised dens,
with sin-scratched walls and sin
producing suggestions?
Is this condition repulsive to the
fine tastes and pure moral tone ot
the child? Are thev what thev
sliould be. or are thev "seminaries
olsin." whose vicious, venomous,
voiceless, vice-producing virus is
sufficient to annul the whole moral
inftimnw t. rvr of rMrliers?
Was the well or spring cleaned
,.,nlrti,.VrMrinn crarfthv filled
-
with decaying and death dealing
veeetable matter?
"
Has the pump a handle and a
spout, and are sure that the supply
of water, for your school is both
pure and abundant?
Is there a knob on the door, and
glass iu the windows, or was your
school building the gloomy abode
of bats and tramps during the vaca
tion? Have you placed fastenings on the
shutters of your buildings, or is the
teacher compelled to invoke the aid

the spiritual rapping of some de
parted director who failed to do his
duty to the school while in the flesh,
and thus in aimless, endless rest
lessness returns with the sighing
aud moaning of the storm fiend as
a warning to the living?
Are there shades upon the win-
I dows, or does the blinding sun beat
in upon the unprotected heads of
the children, impairing the delicacy
aud power of the human eye for all
time?
Was the stove , polished priot to
the opening of school, or is it still
covered with the incrustation of rust
and tobacco juice that have been ac
cumulating during all the political
campaigns held in it siuce the days
of General Jackson?
Is there a door on it with two
whole hinges, and does the wide
crack in its bowl, from which exude
deadly gases to stifle the children
and retard their mental efforts add
anything to its beauty and utility?
Has the building been thoroughly
scrubbed and cleaned duriug the
memory ot the oldest inhabitant, or
in the solemn phrase of the law,
"whereof the memory of man run
neth not to the contrary," or do you
think a school house should be
cleaned every twenty-five years,
whether it needs it or not?
If the once white (in the remote
past) but now browned school house
is rotting to the ground for want of
a coat ot paint, why not recommend
a touch of whitewash?
Do you believe that "cleanliness
is next to godliness," or that water,
soap, and towels have no relation
whatever to morals?
Is there a sprinkling can in your
school' or do you expect the wash
basin, with its rust holes in the bot
tom to take its place? Journal ot
