Prof. O'Uara went to Medford Mon d.iy morning to look over the pear or chards iu J ckson county. The blUht able to find a means of combatting this new and virulei.t pest. Prof. O'Uara is trom WashiiiKton, where he is a pathologist in the bu reau pi int niduiitrj of tlie Departmeut of AHriculture, and his cowiuK to Orauts Pkbs wa at the request of has made iu appearance in tiiut Si'iTetary MesTve, of the Fruit I county and In some of the orchards Orowers Association, made to Prof. M. D. Waite, superintendent of that bureau. The sp-cial work of its bu reau is that pertainiiiK to diseases of fruits and vegetables. This work is divided into reciious and a patholo (tint or eiitjinoloiK't is at the head of each section. Prof. O'Gara has charge of the fiKht that is being waged all over the Unietd States against the pear blight by the Government. His work is in two sections. One is to visit every pear district an 1 warn the growers of the great danxer from fie blight and tell them how to prevent its iutroduo tlou and the other duty is to super visa the fight iu districts where the pest has made iU appearance by teaching the orchard Ists bow Co iden tify the blight and the method of ex terminating it. Prof. O'Gara is con ceded to be one of the ablest patholo gists in the Government service and be is an authority of natioual stand ing on many of the other fruit pests as well if near blight. Springtime is the busiest time of the year for Prof. O'Gara for It is at this lesson that pear blight does its most destructive work and when Its Infection and spread is the greatest and it Is spreading over tbe United Htatea at such a rapid rate that not a week goes by but what au urgent reorient comes to him fur help from some fruit district. To get over such an immense territory requires every day, even Suuday, of his time and though it was a day of rest for other people when he was here last Sunday Prof. O'Gara put In the day, accom panied by Secretary Meserve, in ex amining pear orchard in the vicinity of rhiH oily. The worst outbreak of blight was fun ml in R. A. N. Hey mirs' orchard where the pear tries are badly infected. At the tiiuo Prof. O'Gara was here last February only one "f Mr. Heyiuers' trees was affected and it had but one limb diseased. He now has cut out all the diseased tops and by clone vigilance can eradicate the dieaM if tlio infection is not axaiu brought in by ins cts or birds frmn other ntTocled trees. The only other orchards that blight ban ap peared iu are Klstnanu Uroa. , J. T. Morrison and Hubert Huck. There are prolutbly others iu the county hut tbe owners not recognizing the di seaiia have not repotted their orchards infected. Secretary Meserve has freshly .rot pear limbs at hia office that show the blight very distinctly and fruit growers are axked to cull and examine them so they call recognize the disease should it get into their or chards While tbe blight la tbe mokt dis tract ire of pear trees of all the pests yet Prof. O'Gara Hates that iu an io lated valley like Kogiie Kiver Valley COMMERCIAL CLflB LETTER (Continued from First Page.) has done much damage, but the fruit growers have made such a vigorous fight against tbe pcBt that tbey have it fully under control and if no new infection ii brought in on imported trees, will be able to exterminate it. Their county fruit Inspector, Geo. V. Taylor, has been exceedingly vigilant and it is largely to his efforts that tbe pest has been checked before it got thoroughly established in tbe or chards. Prof. O'Gara pays Mr. Tay lor the compliment of being a well poatad and efficient county fruit in spector. George W. Taylor, froit inspector for Jackson couuty, was in Grants Panjlast Saturday to interview Secre tary Meserve, of the Fruit Growers Association, in regard to what was being done iu Josephine oouuty to enforce tbe state fruit .peet laws and especially as to wbat was being done to stamp out the pear blight that has made its appearance in both counties. Mr. Taylor stated that extraordinary vigilance was being maintained both by himself and by the orchard ists uf Jackson ci-unty to eradicate the blight as fast as it appears in an orchard. He is on duty from 13 to 16 hours each day aud every day in t''e week, be even being compelled to work Sun day in order to visit all tha orchards reiorted as possibly Infected with tbn blight. Tiie fruit growers are equally as alert and at all tbe big orchards two men are kept in each on constant patrol duty, while the smaller of the commercial orchards are patroled by one man, aud tbe farmers are giviug daily inspections of their fruit trees. There are now about ttOOO acres set to pear trues iu JackHou county and with tbe record prices that the growers got last season of from $2 to U.20 a box tbey do not propose to sit idly by while tha blight ruins this highly profitable industry as it al most did in California before the growers there awoke to their danger. Mr. Taylor was surprised that no npeoial effort was being made iu this county to eradicate the blight for if this destructive pest is allowed to be come firmly established it would end tbu pear industry here aud would soon spread to Jackson county and complete the ruin of the pear industry in tint section of Hogue River Valley. Tbe state law on fruit pests is very drastic "lid far reaching and allows counties to demaud its enforcement of the law in adjoiuing counties that are negli gent, and should this uoeuty allow the law to go by default Jackson county would in self protection bo compelled to take steps to have this county do its duty. the finest cherry preserves of any cherry in tbe market. Besides the above mentioned re berries of every sort from the huge blackberry to smaller bla-k raspbeiry. Tbe cannery which was recently erect ed will in course of time increase tbe demand for more fruit which if not supplied here, will be somewhere else. Apple orchards at the present time will briug the owner fiom f30O to t"00 per acre anually and the viueyards from $-'00 to 4i0 The output of some of these go to China, some to fceWj York aud London. Thoueands of acres of orchard lands remain undeveloped and are waiting for the energatic man, the man with push, oue who, Is not! afraid of labor aud who will .levote his time and strength to enlarging the. town, by cau-iug uew people to come to loc ate after seeiug what cn actual- j ly be done, make or increase his for tune and at the fame time have good health, which is the altogether im portiut thing, for health comes be fore everything else. The mountaius which shut in this little valley are covered with timber of every kiud, which in oourse of time, is run through the mills aud used for building purposes. Iu lOOfi the cut was estimated at 20, 000,000 feet, which is increning every year. B low are a few of our many kinds of wood. Yellow pine, sugar pine, white pine, similar to the Nor way pine, Oregon piue or fir, similar to the eastern hemlock, cedar, oak, laural or madrone aud munzauita. Miuing another industry of Oregon is one cf impotrance. Placer mining is carried on more successfully in tbe wet season, where hydraulic giants are used to operate it. Quartz miuing is done by dynamiting or blasting. Gold, copper, and silver are the principal minerals. Hunting and fishing is the delight of every man and boy aud iu some instances the girls aud women enjoy it equally as well. Josephine county after cutting a vast amount of timbers still presents rare oportunities for tbe man behind the gun. Far back in the woods and canyons are to be found deer, bear, mountain lions and a large variety of lesser game rind "he Is a poor son of Nimrod, who cannot find sport here. " The Roval Chinook sal mon is here in abunaduce iu the Rogue, Illinois, and A pi legate rivers besides other varities, that I will not have time to mention. Poultry laisiog in Grants Pas brings good prices and I am sorry, that it is not carried on mora extensively Dairying Is another industry, which is undeveloped, bat offers good op portunities. 1 lie alfalfa furnishes abundance of forage unsurpassed for dairy purposes. Last but iu uo wise the least is our euterprisiug "Commercial Club." If it were not for their untiring efforts our city would not be what it is to day.
