CARSON'S FRUIT REPORT Submitted tit Meeting of Stuto Horticultural Board. A. II. Carson, Commissioner for the third district. Southern Oregon, sub mitted an important report npou the condition of orchards in that locality and the successful outcome of an ex piiimcnt of spraying diseased trees wiih Bordeaux mixture. His report follows: "Fruit trees of all varieties have wintered in fine condition. There have been no extremes ofhigh or low temperature during'the winter season, which was a favorable condition for all kinds of fruits. Tho blooming period is very lute. Almonds, peaches and a few cherries nre in bloom now that are usually three to four weeks earlier, while the apple aud pear will not bloom for some time yet. ' The prospect for a largo crop of all kinds of fruits f this date is verv promising, and the late blooming this year is almost sure to carry the fruit past the danger from frost. "Spraying has been donu to a great extent than any former year, us orchard men of all classes now realize that their success, if they gtow clean fruit that can be sold in tho market, must be sprayed carefully. 'Gasoline power to run spray pumps in this district is increasing rapidly. Fruit men find gasoline power much henper than hand labor on the spray pumps, as well as much more effec tive. 'There are ."( gasoline engines ill use in ,losi pliine oountv. 'About P.'iK) acres of new orchards were planted in Jackson county the past winter. The applu leading nil other varieties of fruit iu acreage. 'Quite a large acreage in Douglas county were planted this season, ur much as M acres to the apple. "Douglas county has many thous and acres of choice apple and with iu her boundaries, with ideal climatic onditions for the applo.land it is only i quest ion of a short time when her land owners will begin planting the apple on a large scale. 'The apple aiithracuose, which ill the past has trcatened the apple or- hards of Josephine anil Douglas counties with extinction, I am glad to report, is found to yield .readily by praying with Bordeaux mixture early ill the fall, just after apple-gathering. The Eisiuau Bros.' orchard, six miles west of Grams Pass, which was so badly diseased with aiithracuose, or canker, two or three years ago, have radicated tho disease entirely there by spraying with Bordeaux. 'Mr. Ry mer, who has a 10-acre apple orchard three miles west of Giants IV-s, which, for the imst four v ar-, has been badly diseased with 11. 1 hraeiio.-e, failed to eradicate the liseaso by spraying late iu the w inter or early Miring. At mv sul-l'csI ion sprayed tho diseased trees with Bordeaux mixture, leaving two rows urn-prayed, as a check with the result that at this date ou all the trees rayed li-t Tall with Bordeaux, no new growth ni pears, while ou the two rows left, uuspraved, the new inlhraiiiose appears ill great abun dance. "This te.'t alone b uioiiftrateH that anthrai mis' has specific iu tho use of Boid-aux if applied early in the fall." Fervn-Acock.

It doesn't cost much and Is very little trouble to keep a town clean if tho cttiiena will co-operate and do their hare in tbe matter. And there is no better advertisement tor a town. Home seekers will go to clean town just as one will go to a clean store to buy hts goods. Of course th schools should be kept dean as an example to tbe young, and to prevent tbe lodgment and propaga tion of disease of any kind tbe street and alleys ought to receive more care ful attention. Tbe latter especially are too often made the receptacles of all kinds ot filth that in summer spreads infection broadcast In cold weather tbe nuisance Is almost as dangerous. There must of necessity be a deal of mud and slush this winter on all our sldowalka, but If each householder will exercise little care In keeping tbe walk in front of his bouse properly cleaned the exceedingly unpleasant ef fects of it may be to a large extent overcome. It attention is given this matter, necessary walk about town would be a pteaanre Instead of re gret, and sociability would be pro moted. Nothing gives more agreeable first Impressions of a city or town than the cleanliness ot its streets, stores and pablla places, and it may draw to us many Inhabitants and large Invest ments. Prateetlaa at Street Trees. If a tree has been well scraped of tbe cocoons that contain the egga, it may be protected from tbe caterpillars that are allowed to develop on neighboring trees by a band of Ur or other viscid substance painted around the trunk and renewed from time to time so that It will not get dry. There Is no perfect protection, however, since caterpillar suspend themselves by silk fibers ot their own spinning and are wafted when thus suspended from an Infected to nonlufected tree. An occasional sprsylug of the tree's leaves with a so rtition of parls green or london purple will poison tut caterpillars without hurting the trees. All these precau tious, if persevered in, would soou end the caterpillar peat Claawoaaea laprtvt Villas.
