Due to tne fact that there are no heavy winds, or rain storms in Rogue Hirer Valley daring the period that froit trees are in bloisom every blos som is perfectly pollen ized and de frlopes into froit. If the crop is not thinned the excessive yield so ex lianats the tree that it will only bear every other year and then the fruit is likely lo be ondersized and wormy, for wherver two spiles or pears touch the codlin moth Is able to eat into the froit for the contact of the froit prevents the spray solution from coating the apple at that point with the poison that kills the worm. Pears usually require but little thiunug fur large pears are not so saleable as medio in sized cms. Bart lett that are over thre inches io diameter do not sell so well as a s maller size, though none ehonld go Wow 2-. inch' s, the bet selling sizu being 1 40 to the box Winter Nellie unless on very rich land most be well thinned as they are inclined to grow small for the tree 8 the most prolific beaier of the pears. The Cornice, beiug a shy bearer seldom requires thiuuing, though the tree must not be allowed to carry too heavy crop, for if that ia the rase the fruit will drop vrry badly just before picking time. D'Aojoa and other pears reqaire con siderable thiouing. Of apples the Spftznbnrg requires Annual Meeting Fruit Grower. The annual meeting of the Grants Pass Froit Growers association will be held at the Coart Hoose in Grants Pass on Saturday, June 8. The fore noon session will convene at 10:30 sharp, and this period will be devot ed to election of officers and the clos ing up of the basinets for the past year and to considering a number of matters pertaining to tbe business of the Association for the ooming year. Among these will be that of deuldiog ou the design of a label for froit boxrs and of pltoing an order for labels. As to whether to adont the Hood River special size box for packing 3-tier Spitz-nburg and other large apples will be considered. The adoption of more stringent rules for picking grad ing and pack log will be acted npon. The afternoon session will convene at 1 :S0 sharp, and will be devoted to a general discussion of problems per taining to the fruit industry. Among the questions considered will be the prooing of yonng trees and the control of the borers, eradicating tbe green aodjblack aphis and the spraying or oodlln moth.

The beat selling Spitzenburgs are the 3 aud S tier apple. And in thin ning caie must be tiken to remove all fruit that is likely to be heavily shaded for a Hk" colored Spitz will not sell. The Newtowns are all sold in Euglaod and the European trade will only take a small apple, the 4-tier Newtown beiug the beat seller. All other varieties, should be closely thin ned as they go to the American mar ket where a large apple Is io demand. The rule for thinning is one apple to a fruit spur and on Newtowns in fall bearing no apples should be closer than lour inches and Sidtzenborg aud other varieties, six inches is as clone a apples should be on the twig. A large peach Is tbe best selling so these trees should be well thinued. And the best formed fruit should only be left In all kinds. The orchardist who de sires to inoresse tbe bearing capacity of bis orchard will bave bis thinning all completed within tbe next 10 days. Both the forenoon and afternoon sessions are open to the public and it is expected that all will attend who are interested in the development of the fruit industry io Josephine county. In no line of .industry does experience cost so much as in froit growing and the grower who attempts to learn through his own efforts or to blindly blonder along will pay dearly in wasted effort, loss of money and of time. It is at the froit growers meeting that the alert, progressive orchardist gains the knowledge that will eoable him to avoid the mistakes and losses of other orobardists and to learn bow to profit by the sncoess of others. And there is no class more free to tell of their successes and failures than art fruit growers and to give a neiptug nana to the beginner in the iudastry. S. V. MOODY WOOD YARD Cor. H & 3d sts.
