You still live when so many predl"t'd bankruptcy, lint there Is another evil of just as much evil we all have lost bight, of and It is as disastrous to the generation as alcohol. It Is to bacco. The law does not protect our children from its use as with alcohol; St.OdO, 000 yearly Is spent for to bacco, more than enough to feed and clothe comfortably every person In the United States.

His lungs were black as tar. The doctor's verdict was too many cigarettes. Is It not true that every drinking man, or I will say, that every habitual drinker of liquor S out of 10 use tobacco, 9't out of one h ion tramps use tobacco in s nio form; not one boy In five who com I mences In boyhood the use of to jbacco can get life Insurance after he Is 21 years old because of heart 'trouble In some form or other. Near ly every paper published In the cities (By II. C. Bateham.) 1st. Because they are grown In that noted fruit region and ideal climate known the world over v. the Rogue River valley in Southern Ore gon. Through Judicious advertning such as our exhibits at district fairs, horticultural society meetings and National apple shows, many have seen and tested our fruit for the first time. More free fruit will be used this year than ever before for pre sentation to prominent officials, uoted personages, promoters and visitors. All this spells reputation, which means more money. 2nd. Because they are the best varieties; Spitzonborgs and New towns, Bartletts and Cornice, Tokays and Malagas; are all noted, not only for high quality, but high price. Ideal climate, soil and shipping faci lities, best of all instructors in plant ing, growing, harvesting and packing all amount to nothing if varieties are Inferior or poor quality. The best of everything is our mot to; and the best is none too good for Grants Pass. 3rd. Because we have conquered the pests. Many a man la ready to say now-a-days that he is not afraid of scale or such insects hiving full instructions and information on file and good remedies always at hand. Thorough Inspection and enforce ment of the Btate law has mado the deserted orchard practically a thing of the past, and those who have waited for the Inspector to clean up their orchards have had them cleau ed out altogether. Fruit pests have been declared to be "blessings In disguise," because otherwise every one would grow fruit and glut the markets, but now only men with brains grow it to perfection and they make money out of It. 4th. They are grown right. Irri gation has been thrashed out for us but no arbitrary rule can he luid down. Some orchards bear large crops In some seasons without water; some soils need It; others do not. All need cultivation and lots of it. I5y watching a tree, its growth, foli ange and fruit, our growers have learned to know whether they need water, cultivation, upraying, sum mer pruning or thinning. The num ber of those who are making fruit growing a business specialty, is con stantly on the increase. This Is as It should be, let the good work go on. 5th. They are handled light. By handling I mean to Include picking, hauling, wiping, grading, packing GALLEY TWELVE COURIER ... . and delivering. Not all of course are up-to-date In all these matters, but none are too old to learn and the monthly metlngs of the fruit ex change where matters of this kind are discussed are invaluable to those not. yet informed, while a refusal at Its warehouse of a load of fruit be cause not handled right Is also an in entire towards higher education. The shaking of fruit, hauling In bulk, selling It dirty, covered with spray, selling several grades as No. 1 and selling without packing are fast becoming things of the oast. liih. They are sold light. The Rogue River valley fruit exchange, organized last year, Is doing a large and satisfactory business. Good prices are obtained and our markets are world d up and practically all of the fruit growers of this vicinity Have pledged their fruit to the Ex change. No less than .SO per cent of the fruit of this country Is now ship ped through similar associations, and buyers prefer to deal with such ra ther than with Individuals. Will you be one to Join our fruit exchange and engage In the best business on earth In the best climate In the world? blight and the myriad other peat a that prey upon the apple. Each year the frost ruins a large percentage of the crop. The modern commercial orchard, scientifically managed, is almost unknown In many orchard sections that in years gone by pro duced tremendous crops." This can be and no doubt will be remedied somewhat, but nowhere are there such ideal conditions for producing first-class apples as In Oregon. Strangely, the crop of this splendid fruit fell off In this coun try from 115, 000, 000 barrels in 1S9G to 23,000.000 barrels In 1 90S. The department gives out these figures: In l$9tL 69.070.000 barrels; 1S97, 41,530,000; 1S9S, 28.500.000; 1S99, 37,500.000; 1900, 47,900,000; 1901, 20,970.000; 1902, 47,025.000; 1903, 45,000,000; 1904, 45,300,000; 1905, 23,500,000; 1906, 3S.0O0.000; 1907, 29,000,000; 190S, 23.000,000. Yet the demand is constantly increasing, and should and will Increase. The world will easily consume 100,000,-0-00 barrels of good apples a year, and pay a good price for them.
