The season for thinning apples and

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

saleable as medio in sized cms. Bart

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

Pass on Saturday, June 8. The fore
noon session will convene at 10:30

ed to election of officers and the clos
ing up of the basinets for the past

matters pertaining to tbe business of

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

The beat selling Spitzenburgs are the

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

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.
