i SPRAY SOLUTION TO BE

Hill Be of Hiah Strength and Rea
sonable in Price Will Save
in Freights.
County Fro it Inspector Meserve
has been laboring on the problem of
securing for the frait growers of Jose
phine county spray eolation that is
efficient vet reasonable in price. The
Portlaud manufacturers of spray solu
tion charge f 13 a barrel delivered in
Grants Pass. The empty barrels can
not be returned except at the pur
chaser's expense and the freight rate
wonld make that unprofitable to the
farmer. To buy a barrel at 11.50 to
t2jjeacb purchase of solution with the
empty barrels of previous purchasers
on the farm wonld be bad financiering
to tbe farmer.
With a crop of 00,000 boxes of ap
ples and pears in Josephine connty
and not over 13,000 boxes absolutely
free from ravages of pests it is pr oof
that the average farmer finds it very

unprofitable for him to make bis own
pray solutioo. The farmer has two
serious difficulties to contend with in
prepariog spray solution, one is the
varying strength of the lime snd the
sulphur and the other is tbe impos
sibility of getting np sufficient heat
in an open tank to so melt the sul
phur as to fi.rm a perfect chemical
union with lime. . Lime varies
greatly in its strength and that that
contains a high per cent of magnesia
and other minerals is of little value in
spray solution, or requires more per
I pound of sulphur to secure the proper
chemical union. But it is the sulphur
that causes tbe greatest trouble to the
farmer in the manufacture ,of spray
solution. If he buys it in the natural
state it is almost certain to cod tain
from five to 25 per cent of some form
of rock. If he buys the prepaied flour
sulphur ho is likely to get an adulter
ated article unless he buys a high
priced, fancy brand. The farmer
buying in email quantities seldom
gets two lots of either lime or tulphor
of the same strength an d having no
way of testing the strength has to go
by gueas in mixing them in the
preparation of bis solution, with the
sequence of at picking season finding
that he hag but little strictly first
class fruit that brings the fancy price.
It has been fully demonstrated that
tbe solution cooked in an open vat
does not have the strength of that
prepared in a closed retort and under
a high pressure of steam to thoroughly
melt jthe sulphur. This with the
labor and worry of prepariug it and
the uncertainty of its strength makes
the preparing of spray solntion on the
farm an expensive undertaking. To
import spray solution means that ont
of every $3 paid for freight 3 is
for water, of which there is plenty
here In Rogue River Valley free for
the taking. To have a factory estab
lished in Grants Pass appears to be
the most economical to the fruit
growers. To that end Inspector lie
serve has taken np the-! proposition
with parties in Gran t Pass who have
the oapital to fit np the plant and to
bny the materials by the car losd.
ine arrangements are all but com
pleted and only await the receipt of
technical instructions, which Mr,
Meserve has sent for, as to the ma
chinery and construction of the plant
and the method of mixing and cook

inr the solution. The solution wm
be of the highest efficiency and to eee
that it is Inspector Meserve will tend
samples from time to time to the
Agricultural College to have it tested.
The solution will ba kept;in stock in
tank so that farmers can bring their
barrels and have them filled at any
time. The Dries will be the lowest :
possible and be such that it will be
cheaper for the fruit raisers to boy
their spray solntion than to make it.
It is expected that the plant win do
in operation by New Years, and that
announcement through the Courier
to that effect can t e mane next ween.
