of Provolt Is at
present engaged in grubbing bops for
Lnis3ch of this ;place. Mr. Law
man states that crop at rroro n
looking fine at present and and large
crops are anticipated for the season
1907. The fruit industry, he states is
much ahead of that last season in all
parts of Josephine county, which was
in 1908 alomst a total failure in many
parts of the county through neglect to
sDrav for this deadly pest, the scale.
which will be hereafter protected and
the pest laws will be enforced to its
utmost by our inspector, cnas. jne
serve, who has doue more toward the
betterment of our farmers than any
fruit inspector we ever bad.
The Williams Valley, Mr. Lewman
states in 1906 was much neglected in
the fruit industry and there were
very few apples put on the market,
as the vast old orchards, which were
once free from pests are now de
stroyed by the lack of care, but under
oorjpresent inspector, Chas. Meserve,
the fruit grower will be compel!, to
pray their tree hereafter or.cut th
down. -
The hop industry of the R0,
RWer Valley 1 moving along nicely
and has been much but delayed owiBl
to the bad weather which we hat
experienced in tbe past few weeks.
