NEXT MEETING IS PLANNED Pruning the fruit tree presents a problem to the fruit grower, that when not properly done, probably in­ fluences the resulting crop as much as any other orchard practice. " The so-called "heading system” prac­ ticed by many inexperienced or- chardists here and elsewhere is the cause of short fruit crops and many of the poorly formed trees, according to County Agent Howell. The method now in use by pro­ gressive orchardists and which will be shown in the two pruning demon­ strations that will be held Friday is the so-called "long-pruning” or "high renewal system." In this method the tree is so pruned that nature is depended upon to keep the tree low by bending the branches down by the weight of the crop, rath­ er than the attempted method of cut­ ting out the top of the tree to keep it low. Claude C. Cate, county agent of Jackson county, who will assist County Agent Howell in the demon­ strations here this week, is consider­ ed one of the leading horticulturists of the west, and his efforts for the fruit men of Jackson county have done much for them. The demonstrations Friday, Janu­ ary 18th, will be held at 10 a. m., in the orchard of D. E. Heller, at Hugo, and at 2 p. m. in the orchard of W. W. Canby below Grants Pass. All fruit men and others interested are invited to attend. The Rogue River valley is being given a close inspection this week i>y (' O Fry and J. E. Hhooke, of Mountain Home, Idaho.

S.)—While a political crisis is holding the center of the stage in Greece a religious controversy that has stirred the Hel­ lenic peoples tremendously is cen- I terlng in Constantinople, the seat of I the Pan-Greek religious hierarcy. The controversy involves the | choice of a successor to the former ! Patriarch Miletlos, who was driven , away from his post by Constantinople (Greeks, who charged that he was un­ duly subservient to the rulers of the church in Athens to the detriment of the interests of Greeks in Turkey. Miletios was practically expelled by the so-called Papa Eutimios, known as the "Father” of the Orthodox Greeks in Turkey. The acton of the Papa Eutimios faction was support­ ed by the Turkish government, which contended that the new Patriarch Qlsnna Day, president should be .elected by Greeks dwelling of the 8tudent Government associa- within the Ottoman domain.

The Greeks in Turkey, claiming the right to elect their own Patri­ arch, elected Bishop Gregory, Metro­ politan of Chalcedon, a typical By­ zantine prelate. It is charged that his election was aided by imprison­ ing the members of the Holy Synod, thus depriving them of the privilege of voting. The new Patriarch Is Gregory the Seventh and is the 347th Patriarch in the history of the Byzantine church. His election has been cere­ moniously proclaimed both by the Turkish government and by the or­ gans of the Patriarchy. Gregory him­ self has asserted his authority and in a circular letter has declared he will exercise that authority "in con- formty with the wishes of the Turk­ ish Greeks.” He has refused to re­ cognize the authority of any of the "Hellenic agents” in the service of the Athens government. Gregory caused the Phanar to be occupied and the opposition members of the Holy Synod to be driven from the premises. Since December 9 Gregory has been virtually the reli­ gious dictator over the 3,000,000 Greeks in the Turkish kingdom.
