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

backing it receives from the fruit in-

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.

HOP GROWERS
SHY OF UNION
Discus Kiebs Proposition But
Only Few Accept it No
Loc&l Union,
The adjourned meeting of Rogue
River Valley hop grows at the
Courier ofllne was fairly well attended.
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. Other farm interests ate find
ing that there is self -protect ion ii
nuioiiH und the ho) men will see the
point some clay.
