a day or two, came here to quietly
iospsct our street paving, curbing,
totters, etc. They did not divulge

FRUITGROWERS PLANNING
FOR IMPORTANT MEETING
There will be meeting at th
Court House, in Grants Pass on Satur
day, March 14 at 1 :30 p. m. sharp, of
the member of tbe Grants Pas Fruit
Growers Association and of all others
interested in the development of the
fruit industry in Josephine oounty.
To bring about more stringtnt en
forcement of the fruit pest laws will
be one of the principal topic con
sidered. The threatened invaaion of
the pear blight i menace " that
mnst be met promptly, and vigorously
or the moat profitable part of the fruit
industry in Rogue River Valley will
be mined within not to exceed two
years. And that the neglected fruit
trees in Grants Pass and the abandon
ed orchards in the oouuty should no
longer be a breeding plaoe for count
less myriads of pests to overrun th
well kept orchard and to make addi
tional expense to the frnlt -grower is
soother matter that will be con
sidered. The proposition wl'l be submitted to
the- Association of discontinuing
printed fruit boxes and aa order
placed for lithographed box label also
for pear box matts and printed fruit
wrapper. The easy going, slipshod,
six-blts-abox method of packing and
celling fruit in Josephine oonnty is to
come to an. end, but If the grower
are to get fancy price for their fruit
they mnst put ' np an honest pack and
a fancy paok. The offer is made the
Association of such arsenate of lead a
the member may need at special
low rate and thla will be aoted noon,
as will also the making np of an
order, that will be conditional and for
later delivery, 'for fruit paper at a
peolal price on a car load. The
prospect of a record rrop of fruit for
this season is certain to make a big
demand for fruit paper.
During the afternoon a general dis
cussion will be had of the various
topics that interest fruit grower.
A question box will be on th tahlr
and those desiring information of
special points should write out their
queries and plaoe them in the box.
During the meeting the box will be
opened and the questions read and an
swer called for from those present.
Now all who want to perfect them
elves in tbe art of growing high
priced frnit should attend this meet
ing and be 'present on time for the
afternoon will he all too short.
