Artesian Well in Jackson County
In the effort to secure water for
the irrigation of his pear orchard,
which by the way is the largest in
Oregon, M. L. Pellett, near Talent
in Jackson county., bored an artesian
well last Sommer and secored good
flow of water at a depth of 980 feet.
He is now boring the second well and
of bis work the Medford Mail states
the following :
"M. L. Pellett, of Talent, was in
Medford, Wednesday. He savs bis
new artesian well is progressing finely
and he already has a flow of water,
bat intends persevering until be gets
as great, if not greater flow than
from the first one.
He is making arrangements now
to 'shoot' the first well with a view
to increasing the flow, by enlarging
the reservoir at the bottom of the
well. This praotiTe has been success
fully followed in oil wells and he
sees no re ion why it shouldn't be the
same thing with artesian wells."
A well is being bored at Medford
by the Weinhard Brewing Company,
of Portlland, for their ioe factory
in the former place. The well is now
down all bat 1000 feet and the con
tractor states that he expects to seoors

a strong flow of water from the well
within the next 300 feet If the
Pellett and Weinhard wells prove a
success, a large number of the farmers
of Jackson county will have artesian
wells bored. The town of Medford,
which undergoes a water famine ach
Summer, will develop an artesian
supply for the municipal water plant
The water from the Pellett well is of
excellent qaallty for domestic me and
if an ample aopply can be had from
wells at Medford it will solve the
water problem for that town. As the
formation and topography is prac
tically the same in this part of Rogue
River Valley as it is about Talent and
Medford it ia held by many that a
supply of artesian water could be had
about Grants Pass and probably in
the Applegateand the Illinois Valleys.

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES
Reewdily Yield to Soothing, Healing
, Treatment of Hyomel.
Bronchial troubles are purely local.
They cannot be helped by stomach
doHing. Tbey are caused by irritation
in the air passages and can'be relieved
and cured by medicated air alone. In
this lies the secret of the great suc
cess of Hy-o-mei in the treatment of
bronchial troubes
The first breath of Hyomei's medi
cated air soothes the inflammation,
stops the cough, and relief soon be
comes permanent and a core results.
Hy-o-mei has made many remarkable
cores in 'the worst and most chronic
forms of bronchial troobles and is sold
by C. H. Demaray with the same
guarantee as he gives when Hy-o-mei
is purchased for catarrh, . that is, to
refund the money in case the remedy
does not give satisfaction. The com

FRUIT GROWERS HOLD
EXPERIENCE MEETING
Discuss Important Points in Their
Industry Next Meeting
to Be a. Picnic
(Continued from lat week.)
As for a sure preventive or remedy
for gumosis noue had been found
was Mr. Trlplett's experience. Geo.
H. Parker stated that O. E. Hoskins,
of Gold Hill, noted as oue of the lead
ing cherry specialists of Oregon, told
bim that the best preventive to
gumosis was to keep the tree dormant
as long ia the Spring as possible, this
to be done by a heavy mnlch kabout
the trees and by boards around the
trunks. J. T. Morrison said all his
cherry trees were killed by gumosis
while on the adjoining farm C H.
Sampson had cherry trees as healthy
as oaks. P. H. Harth said he had no
difficulty in growing cherries but the
birds got them all. H. C Sampson
said the birds got all their cherries
and that the worst thieves were the
jays and crows.
Herbert C. Sampson, manager of
the Grants Pass Cannery, gave a short
etatemeut as to the prcrgess that was
being made in getting the buildings
up and the cannery in operation for
this Reason's crop. Work on the
bnlldings was now going on and the
order for the machinery had been
placed and it was expected to have
the plant in operation early in July.
No large pack would be attempted
this season, bat next year the can
uery would handle all the fruit and
vegetables to be had. As to the price
paid that would 1 governed by the
market but it would be as high as
possible for it would be be policy of
the Cannery Company to get the
gretteet returns to the farmers ao ai
to encourage them to eiSgane exten
sively in raising vegetables and fruits
that the cannery might bare an ample
supply. The cannery had taken over
the Sampson spray factory and would
manufacture both the lime-sulphur
and arsenate of lead sprays. Larger
and stronger retorts would be pot in
to enable the making of the lime-sulphur
solution in large quantities and
under a higher steam pressure so as to
give a stronger and a better solution.
When in Portland last week he was
solioited by the manufacturers of
spray solution in that city to go into
a combine with them and raise the
price of spiay solutioo to $18 a barrel
from the present rate of 110. This he
declined as it would be the rale of
the Cannery Company 'to pot ont
spray solutions at the lowest possible
coat to the fruit growers. Instead of
raising the price Of sprays it wonld be
the plan to lower it if possible. Sul
phur and lime wonld be bought in
oar lots so as to insure uniform
strength and the lowest pri:e. Test
bad proven that the Rogue River lime
was of higher . and more uniform
strength than the Washington or
Eastern lime and the home article
would be used if it coo Id be bad. A
discussion of sprays and spraying fol
lowed Mr. Sampson's talk that
brought out many valuable pointers
to thejruit growers. From sprsying
tbe discussion ran in to or hard cotil
vation aud that subject wan
thoroughly considered.
The probable fruit yield lor this
season in Josephine county and the
market outlook was presented by
Charles Meserve, seretary of the
Grants Pans Fruit Growers Union,
who stated that the prospect for a
profitable year was most encouraging
to the fruit growers of Rogue River
Valley. While the trees were not so
heavily laden as last year, yet the
amount of first-class apples and pears
would be larger than that of last year
by reason of the more thorough spiay
ing and care of the trees. All reports
indicated that Mo lWn and South
ern states would havo barely half a
crop as a result of the increasing
havoc of tbe pests and the tremendous
damage that has been done to the
fruit buds by the untiHual late frosts
and blizzards to that froze the young
fruit on the trees in many sections.
With a certainty of :i a box for first
class, honestly packed apples it wonld
pay tbe farmers of this county to give
extra attention to spraying and thin
ning their fro it and cultivating their
orchards this season.
As to future meetings all desired
that a frnit growers meeting be held
at least once in two months hereafter
in this county. It was decided that
the next meeting should be a picnic
affair with a basket dinner and held
in a fruit district where orchard
methods could be studied. On the
motion ef A. T. Martin ltwaa decided
te bold the next meeting; the last of
Jnne and at the Lee District west of
Grants Pass. As a committee to ar
range fur the groondsland.tbe date of
the picnio Chairman Robinson ap
pointed A. T. Martin, Charles Me
serve and E. W. Provolt. ' One of tbe
objects of this meetiag ia to bring tbe
farmers and their families together
and build up a closer bond of friend
ship and co-operation . aud thereby
counteract the tendency to distrui'tful
ness and selfishness that the isolation
of farm life often engenders. Farmers
take too little recreution aud give too
little attention to social life the re
suit is that the young people become
prejudiced against the farm and,'take
no interest in studying better methods
of making it more profitable and at
the first opportunity desert it for the
town. To nnite pleasure aud educa
tion will tw the plan for this meeting.
The date has not been set by the com
mittee but will probably be on Satur
day, June 23. There will be a lull in
farm work for that week and there
will be a full moon for that night to
give a good light for the evening to
enable those who come from a loug
distance to reach their homes with no
misshap from bad roads.
One of the interesting features of
last Saturday's meeting was a dis
play of apples made by J. H, Robin
son. They were -of the Springdale
variety and attracted much attention
by their fine red color, excellent flavor
and splendid.kveping quality. This is
a new apple that was originated in
Arkansas where it is becoming very
popmlar with the growers of that
state. Mr. Robinson has given a num
ber of the trees a thorough trial iu bis
orchard and he finds it a highly profit
able apple for this Valley. The tree
ia vigorous and a prolific bearer and
the apple will compare well with a
Spitzenberg in fine color and quality
and far excel Is that famous apple in
keeping or in fact any of the standsrd
apples. Mr. Robinson brought a
wagon load to town and Sold them at
a big price. As proof the wonderful
keeping quality of this variety Mr.
Robinson stated that when packing
this lot that he found barely 5 per
cent that were unsound. So well
pleased is Mr. Robinson with the
Springdale apple that he is growing
a large number of the grafts in his
noisery.
