Fruit pests in the Rogue River valley was the topic chosen by Pro fessor J. J. O'Gara on Tuesday at the meeting of the fruitgrowers in Goll Hill. Regarding the blight he said: "It ts In the springtime that the first Intimation of blight Is to be found. A germ Is deposited by some Insect in the blossom on the ' tree and from there It works down In the tree until It reaches the bark where it often necessitates the cutting away of the entire tree. Sometimes through the winter It Is dormant on ly to renew Its activity with the re swelling of the buds as the tree be gins to take In sap. Very few cases hold over however from one year te the next. "There Is very little danger In the Rogue River valley from pear blight,,' stated the professor, "bo cause of the dry summers In this section. The absence of humidity Is another splendid aid. The Rogue River orchardlBts need only to exhlb tl a reasonable amount of work la preventing Its start and they are safe." Mr. and Mrs. W. O. White arrived . from Fort Dodge, Iowa, Sunday and have moved their household goods to the farm on the Murphy road re cently purchased by them. Mrs. White's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Young, and her two brothers, whe arrived here a few months ago, own adjoining farms. Mrs. White Is one of the Easterners who had a very vague Idea of at least some fea tures of the West, an Idea which l quite prevalent among those who are not Informed on the subject of wllfl beasts. She has been fearing to walk along the road In the woods lest she meet a bear. She has, however, been assured thut such a thing ts not possible, but even If It were possible, the benr Is the one who would bo Ut most frightened. The Whites hate two married sons whom they hope to bco out west soon. Floorette Bros.
