Anthracnose, or black spot, is doing as ranch damage to the on lianls of Josephine coanty as is the scile or any of the other pests. The anthrao- Bne is a fangas, the spores of which ripen in me tail, inese spores are carried from tree to tree by bird", iu eots, wind and other means and lodging on the bark immediately be sin to grow and multiply in coantlesi uotubem. Tht-y can readily, be killed by spraying if this is done in Norem ber and the first part of Deorniber be fore thev have beoome firmly rooted. Where the disease has become flrmlt established on a tree it is a more dilfl cnlt matter to eradicate it, bat it can be done if the flead bark ia thoroughly scraped off before the sprayiue is done. The anthracnose has been completely eradicated from the orchards of Hood ivirer ana me Dig oummercial or chards of Jackson coonty are free from it, only the small farm orchards that hare been nncared for showing the pest. Here in Josephine county almost erery orchard is affected more or less with anthracnote, and must of the fruit trees in O rants Pass are reeking with this deadly pest. This pest is as contagions as is the scale and it is a difficult and expensive work for one orchardist to keep his trees free from it while his neighbors trees are infested with it. Spraying for this disease should have been be guu uot later than November 1st or as early as the froit has been picked. The progressive orchardists Lae al ready sprayed their trees this fall or will soon do so, hot as Josephine county now has no fruit inspector to enforce the law and compel the care less and indifferent tree- owners to spray their trees little headway is likely to be made this year in eradi-1 wrficlt. eating the anthracnose from this sec- orchards i meetiug of that body this important matter will come up for action, the growers f. el that it is a most vital matter an1 thsy desire to tee some one who is in every way capable of looking after the work seleoted.

Fancy Fruit Just as the Hnancial flurry came on, Representative J. W. Perkins, of Jackson county had his fine fruit ranoh all but sold, the passing of the purchase money being all that was lackiug, but owing to the stringency of the money market, the deal which was for the sum of $76,000, had to fall through. It is not known whether negotiatio-is will again be taken up or not. Daniel Peterson, who ba a very promising piece of orchard land out near Huge, was at the county seat, a few days ago, making plans to ship his nice apple crop. Mr. P iinon spent SO years as a railroadman, 17 years being section foreman of the Hugo section, and be it to his credit he never had a wreck of any con sequence on his division during all thai time.

It Is medium in size, somewhat conical, greenish yellow. with a bright red cheek in the sun. It is a handsome' apple, bot like most of the Russians, ton aoid for eating I oat of hand, bnt excellent for cooking purposes. The tree ia a prolific bearer aud in Indiana the season is np to Christmas. , The fruit growers of Josephine coonty are taking a lively interest in V e matter of hsTlng a capable fruit inspector appointed by the board of coanty commissioners and at the next Pass Frait Growers Association, and confidently believes that this is the only sure way of bringing the product up to the high standard desired by all growers. He has been quite success ful in growing peaohei, having land that is admirably adapted for that purpose and be even thinks that there is more money in raising peaches tnan in apples. He has demonstrated that the peabes in that altitude, the ther mal belt of 1700 feel above sea level, can be successfully grown. HI tre are very thrifty and have never been caught by the frost. This season he proposes putting out a large number of mew peach trees. The American apple crop Is reported to be 24,000,000 barrels short of Isst year's total. If future big apple orops are properly appreciated the failure of 1W)7 will serve a useful purpose. PARCELS POST PROSPECTS. Effect of Proposed Innovation on Mail Order Butirees. According to h staff cnrrespondi'nt of the New York ;ioK. I'oNtiiiiister Cienerul Meyer Intends ue.fl winter to projMise to congress the i-stnliMMi- tueut of a parcels post system such as obtains In England. This Innova tion has been advocated by many per sons for years, but it has been defeat ed by the Interests of tjie express companies represented In congress, particularly In the senate. There la now said to be considerable opposition on account of the fear that the estab lishment of this service, whereby par cels weighing several pounds are to be sent through the malls at a nominal rate, will Injure local merchants be cause of making mall order trade more easy. On this point the Globe's Washing ton correspondent says: "When the tlrue pomes Postmaster General Meyer, with the backing of the president. Is expected to come out with arguments Intended to refute the Idea that the small storekeeper would be hurt by a parcels post. up to the pound' for 12 ceuts, aud the lliuit Is eleven pounds and the charge 2- cents. The latest report on the sub ject shows that the last government year the people of England sent 101, 700,000 pin-eels through the malls, an Increase of -Ml per cent Moreover, this was not done at a loss, the profit of the English postal system being $2Vii".fM) the last government year, In contrast n lTh a deficit lu this country.
