AppIegaJe OrcK&rdisI Planting FecKcKea. j Charles Smith, who resides on the west side of Applegate river near its confluence with Kogue river, was in Grant Pass Monday and was a caller at the office of Fruit Inspector Me serve to investigate the merits of the 1 Sampson spray solution. Mr. Smith i stated that never before has there ' been such interest taken in the fruit iudustry in his neighborhood as now ! and that every farmer is pruning and spraying their trees. The feasts hav ing held their own heretofore against the farmer's home-made spray Mr. Smith stated that his neighbors and himself were going to try the steam pressure made solution from Sampson Bros., fiiolorv in Grants Pass. More fruit trees are being planted this Winter on the Lower Applegate section than in the prveious five yearn is the report of Mr. Smith. He has an orchard cf four acres and now that a systematic effort is bing made to subdue the pests he intends to in crease the number of liis trees. Hav ing "never tiad a failare of a peach crop he is planting largely to that frnit. By reason of their early and prolific bearing and ready sale Mr. Smith has found peaches more pro fitable to him than apple!). Mr. Smith's good fortune in never losing a peach crop from frost is also that of all the Applegate orchardists Jfor nil report the peach a sure bearer with them. It is a proven fact that the Appb-g-Ue Valley is absolutely fre. from the late spring froH that so frequently tiring ruin to the peach crop in other section of Kogue Kivi r Valley. This great advantage will be sure to make of Applegite Valley, , which is 30 miles long, one of the greatest peach district of the Pacific ; Coast. I I Post Cards Tablets 3 cards on !

Submerged and steeped with know ledge of the world of Mystery has made "Maro" and "Magic" Synony mous. Jo secret but he delved and found the key. No accessory so elabo rate he has not acquired. Infinite painstaking and expense are bagatelles to him. Maro's Magio is so original in conception and presentation, and his resources so unlimited, he is able to gratiiy bis expectant audience with something new each year. His repertoire consists almost entirely of his own experiments. Each of Maro's trioks are paylets full of mystery, grace and humor and the deftness with which they ars executed as tounds, bewilders and gratifies the eager watohsrs. His easy, graceful manner and pleasant conversational way at once win the confidence and esteem ot his audieuee.

The land had a small orohard on it which with the cnltivation that he has given it has made snob an enoooraglng growth ; he is confident that ha can make fruit raising profit able on it. He is planting this Spring 118 apples, 100 pears, 100 peaches and 600 grapes on his place. While the soil Is deep hill clay loam he Is fur ther loosening it np by boring deep where each tree is to be set and put ting down a charge of giant powder. This thoroughly loosens the ground down for several feet thus enabling the tree roots to penetrati deep into the moist earth and to withshtaud dry weather better. This shaking up of the subsoil will create a cistern un der eaoh tree that will hold the water low down after the rains and then to line by capallary attraction when the dry weather of Summer comes. 8E?ce iU v.
