WATERMELON PEST TO BE ERADICATED Prof.Cordley Identifies it and Telia How to Combat It-No Mel ons for Three Years. Prof. A. B. Cord ley, entomologist at the Stuto Agrlrltural College at Coivallis, or aa ho ia called by the fruitgrowers, who hold his work In high appreciation, the College Hug man, arrived in Grnnta Pans Wednua day evening, in response to the re qneat of the melon groweit that he Investigate a dineare that Is rapidl killing the watermelon vines In Rogue River Valley. Early Tliuiaduy mornlug G. A. Cobb, who is a largo grower nud dealer, with his buggy took Prof. Cord ley to Hie varionr melou fields in the vioiuity of Grant Pam. In every field viai'cd the effect of the dlaeann uriold lie seru. lu the field owned by Mr. Cnhb and hi p.irtuer, J. A. Maddux, Prof. Cordley found fully 10 per cout of the vines Ifueted, while the 40 acres of water- nieloiiH ou T. P. Lee's place, wal all affected aud Hie vines are dying In such numbers as to preclude the iHui 1)11! I j of a single melon bulua pro duced. No ( ther field was found so badly affected, the dead vines Hum During not over 20 per cent In any one field. Prof. Cordley brought a number of the dUeaved vines to town with hi in, having brought with him from the Colli ge his high-ower inicromopc and examined them, lie found vnh numbers in the diaenacd vine of the sKires of a fungus Hint has a long entomological name, but which is known to the melou growers of the Carolina and Georgia as the melou wilt. Tlieae sHires llrtt iiihIih t lit-i I aiHarunce In the root of the melon aud theu are carried to nil parts of the vino by the water in the rirou liitory tubes. They devcln.i in these lubes in a few hours to count lion millions, aud so choke the How of sap that the vines die lu one day's time from lack of niointiirn the tame aa though deprived of Its roots. I'ln s spores are a vegetable growth, as are all luugi, mill are so small tlint a hundred will occupy a pin point. This disease was Dirt obsi rved a few years ago in Ninth and South Carolina aud Geoigla, and mnde havoc iu the melon lleldn of that state. The Department of Agricul ture undertook to liud a method i f erudUaliiig the peat, but ao fur the only plan tliet has Wen found uo opHsful is for thii grower to pull up the dUotbhcd vines so soon aa seen to be affi'Cleil, and together with eveiy panicle of root, buru tlieui. That Oliecks the spread of the dim ac lor the time being. It' if imluni are planted the followlug acaHon ou ihe same ground be iIImhm will main apHiar, for the. purca have been kuowu to retail! their vitality for two niiil three years. It apnara Hint this iIIm se tlr-l maile its ippcatuuce iu Rogue River Valley (oar or five yours ago, and has uteadily uceu gaining in virulence with uo eflort being mit.it ou the part of the gruaoii to find out what it was or bow to combat it. Kveu lant yea' whole fields were lout, T. P. Ue loeiufc the same 40 acre rield that he lias lost this year. Wheu the dinease ! lately appeared iu the Held of (I. A. i Cobb be at once sent some of tie! vlues to Prof, ford ley, who at once ' recognised the pest as oue of Hie woiat that the melou growers have! to contend with. The only succostful way ihM the Profis.wr recommends to' eradicate the disease is for the fanners in Ilia Infected districts to1 abandon melou growing for three or! four years out II the spotes of the foiiRUS lists all died, aud then to rotate other oropa ou the melou laud -when the growing is agaiu under-' iakeu. Ho thinks the disease was likely brought to this aectiou ou seed that had been grown in the East. Prof. Cord ley intends to make several trips to this valley next spring aud Institute a thorough system of experi ments to ascertain, if possible, a method of eradicating this pert. So far, It has only been known to attack watermelons all other vines being free from ita ravages. As an experiment worth trying Prof. Cordley recom mends that the growers spray a few hills witb Bordeaux mixture, aud also to try a spray made of oue pound of copper sulphate to 25 gallons of water. Though It would be well to try a stronger solution and a weaker solntion on a few bills. Prof. Cordley spent Friday on Ap plegate, a guest of A. H. Carson, at Red lands farm, to examine into the froit pest problem of that district. Ou his retnrn to Grants Pass in the even ing he left for Hood River, where the apple growers of that famous district are alarmed over two new pests that are attacking the apple (trees, one on the leaves and oue ou the fruit. Prof. Cordley Is ranked by the Department 2ol Agricnltnreasooe of the best post ed entomologists in the United States, aud hia work iu identifying and in prescribing methoda for successfully fighting the many kinds and myriads ol pests that seek to destroy nearly every product of the farm has been worth thousands of dollars to the farmers of Oregon, aud the small salary paid to the "bugman" of the State Agricultural College is an investment that Is yielding big returns to the taxpayers of Oregon. So fully does Mr. 'Oman, general paHsenger and freight agent for the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, appreciate the benellt of Prof. Cord ley's work to the agri cultural interests of the slate, that he grants the Professor a pass on all the lines ouder his management and also has transported free of charge, to any point desired, the Professor's spraying outfit and other implemeuta required in the various experiments that ho carries on in various parts of the state, as he is called ou by the farmers. Prof. Cordley puts iu all the spare time he has from his college duties in traveling over the slate iu vesttgating fruit, vogetable au.l other pests and iu attending farmers insti tutes, where he tells the farmers how to fight the peats. During the college vacation iu the summer months he puts iu full time in field work in vari oos parts of the state, he being oue of the college professors who practically has no vacation at all. TO CONSIDER FORMING FRUITGROWERS UNION Orchardials of Josephine County to Meet in Grants Paas, July 22, to Devise Plan of Union. At the request of a number of fruitgrowers a meeting is called at the Courier ofllce on Saturday, July 32, at 3 p id., sharp, to consider the advisability of organizing a union of the fruitgrowers of Josephine county. Huch is the Intercut takeu In I ho movement that it is expected that there will be a large attendance ol those iiiterehteil lu the growing ol fruit. It la now more than 10 yeara aiuce the movement begun for Ihe orgauiz ing of frnitrower unions and now there ia not a large fruit district but a hat has a union. Fruit is so per Mi able, and it is so easy to glut a market and break prices to a ruinous rate, together with the abaorbtiou of the greater part of the urollta by the commission men, aud the excessive freight charges ou small shipments, ihal it I forcing the growersto combine their Intercuts and organise: unions. Many of the first fruit raisers of Hood Hirer found the buniuess so uuprollt able that they plowed up their straw berry Holds and allowed their orchards to go to in gleet, as are now so many or chards in this county. With the formstion of a union prollt came to the business and once again the planting of strawberries and fruit trees was undertaken and so piofltablu has Ihn Industry proven that Hood River Valley is becoming oue great orchard tract. Hood River towu from a strangling, dead village has be come oue of the most prosHrous, growing young cities in Oregon, wlille the Valley is dotli d with Hoe farm homes, and has flue ro da, rural mail and telephone facilitica. Ashland and Medford each have Hlroiig unions nod tin fruit growers of Illume sections are making aud in creasing their acrvagn at a rale that is asloiilKhlug to HtiiuigcrH. The leading factoi ill Ahh'aud'a growth is the backing it receives from the fruit in- dUHtry, while the greater part of ihe b liwlts In the Ihiee banks of Med ford is to Hie credit of the trull growers of that ilUtrict. All iniitauce of the betterment that the Aahluud Kiiut Orowcr Assort! ion lias lirooghi to the peach industry ia Ihe fact that several years ago, before the union was firmed, the owner of a Hue Prospectors Wanted 'I'o navo tiioticy iu their onUlts, whirl, thev can tin ut McLANE'S Drpsrtmrnt ind Furniture Store i Kt'slciMiti Hlk., oi; Front St.) Hold I'ann Picks Pack Saddles Shovels Camp Stoves A cs MuUivsM's t'ottce I'ots Cots Tin Cup ComloiU (innate pan lllankets IvinV Kakl Suits Shot Hons Overall Hovohec Shirts Knives And anything !' wanted for the camp at prUvs that arc right. peach orchard finding peaches un profitable dog np lilt trees. Since the organization of the anion and better prices to be bad thla same land has been planted to peaches and is now yielding tba owner a larger profit than It did when ia grain or hay. The apple quotations of last fall how that the (rowers of Hood River and Medford were paid from $1.80 to 3.20 a box for their Spitzenborg and Newtown apples, while tba growers of Josephine county were able . to realize but from 80 cents to $1.00 per box. A peach grower of th is section got returns from a commission boose of bnt 11 cents a box after the fi eight bad been paid on a shipment of 800 boxes of fine Crawfords. The re maining 1000 boxes of bis orop he then allowed his bogs to eat. An apple grower sent last fall a shipment of ISO boxes each of apples to two dealers in Portland. The apples were of the same kind and of the same picking and packing, yet one com mission man remitted 27 cents a box loss than the other dealer did to the grower. The Courier ooold give other lnatanoes of frnlt growers se curing hot bare oost for their froit from commission men. Rogoe River olimate and soil Is the same in Jose ph I no county as it is in Jackson county and produces as fine apples about Grants Pass as it does about Medford, bot the market conditions are not the same to growers of the two districts and that accounts for the Grants Pass growers barely making expenses while the Medford growers were reaping a big profit Tho reduction of freight charge through car load shipments and the curtailment, or elimination of the middlemen's profits, are Dot all the advantages that the onion brings to the grower. Every member is taught how to grade aud pack bis froit so that it will make the beat showing possible and stand ihipment without braising. The varieties of frnit to plant, the adaptation of certain soils for oerlaiu fro its, the method of plant' ing, cultivating, pruning, spraying aud of picking are made leading fealnres of Ihe meetiugs that are held by the ouions and growers are thna enabled to learn many poiu's that will materially aid them in makiug a success of their undertaking. It has been demonstrated that Jose phine conuty oan produce apples, pears, peaches aud grapes that are not exuooelled by the froit from any other section of the Pad Ho Coast. In laud adapted to frnit growing there are hundred of thousand of acres of land now in broah and timber of the same class on which has been grown the frnit that has made Rogue River Valley famous for the excellence of Its apples, grapes, peaches and pear. It Is uo improbable statement to make to assert that Ihe froit Industry in Josephine county will have brought iu more wealth to t lie ooouty within the next fiO years than any other iu dustry not excepting the gold mines, The snil and climate preclude Jose pliine conuty ever becoming a great grain, hay, dairy or stock suction, and with the timber gone, the pros perity of this county will rest on its fruit, minus aud factories. Thus il it that it is a matter of great Import anoe to farmers and the business men of this conuty to euconrage aud help iu the buildlug np of an industry that has the certainty of becoming oiio of the great factors iu bringing a greater development aud prosperity to the rural districts with the oonse iuent increase of trade aud population to the town.

More than half of the hop acreage iu the Valley was represented, the grow ers attending being John llanziiu aud Mrs. Hanzau, U. C. English and Mrs. English, James flowers, J. B. Bur rows, L. B. Jewell, H. L. DeArmond, S. M. Weston, II. B. AlverBon, 3. E. Weidman, A.E. Holloway, W. PaLtou, A. Uinphlctt, August Rehkopf, Chas. Johnson, B. W. Baldwin, C. Scaefers. The proposition, which had been submitted at the meeting the week provions by Conrad Krebs, of Salem, for a plan to pool the hop sales in Or egon, was fully discussed. A number of growers signed the ngreemeut pre pared by Mr. Kiebs, which provides that when the owners of 00 per cent of the hop acreage iu Oregon shall have signed . this agroemuut then it shall be binding on all the signers to turn their hops over to the state union, that is to b) oragnlzed of t he.se growers agreeing to this compact. Ihn chief objection, that many cf the growers had to joining this pool was that they felt it would prevent their getting money advanced 011 their crop to meet picking and other ex pense, they doubting that banks would advance inomy ou tho certificates that they would receive for their hops irom cue union, ro 110111 until the hopa were sold and the oash realized. I lie plnu of organizing a local Rogue River Valley union was also discussed It was favored by some of the growers but the majority either opposed it or were indifferent. There is little likelihood that the Rogue River ulley hop growers will join Ihe state pool or form a local union, but will lie content to take whatever price is loft them for Ihoir hops after each of the half a dozen deal ers, through whoso possession the ImpB will have pamed in reaching the brewer, will have taken a liberal com mission. With hops yet at 20 cents, which will yield a fn ir profit to the grower, and with the natural conservatism of the average farmer, t here is little prob ability that the hop growers will form a union this year to protect themselves from the extortation of the dealer's coiiibiuo. Next year when hops are down to 10 cents nud growers have to mortgage their laud to secure pickiug money they will take more interest in h union and cine will be likely formed lu Oregon. No class of farmers are more the vietiiitfcpf beur and bull mar set movements by dealers' combiues tlinu are Imp growers, yet a hop gow era union is not known, 'lhu fruit grow cis have long since demonstrated that through a union is the only prollt able way to market their fruit, while the sheep and goat men are nealy all in big pools to market their wool anil mohair.
