KAprch Companies Sell Whisky.
A correspondent of Harpers Week
ly says that the express companies
not only deliver whiskey and beer
but sell It. The plan Is to ship these
articles by express In small quanti
ties to various stations. The pack
ages are addressed to "John Smith'
or anybody else, and then an Inter
psted party whispers to some one
that he can get a pnekago by claim
ing a certain name.' lie goes to the
express office, signs and pays for the
Roods. No questions are asked.
This style of business Is carried on to
a largn extent In the south and It Is
thought will bo Introduced In the
west. Kallroad and oxpres com
panies ure said to be the worst foes
of prohibition and they never miss
au opfortunlty to stab It.

Southern Oregon Peuche.
Tho Portland Evening Telegram
says that the Oregon peach crop Is
making a showing In the markets of
that city and they are equal. If not
superior, to those grown In California
and that as soon as tho crop from the
southern part of tho state arrives
tho California peach will take second
place. There Is no peach the superior
of those grown right around Grants
Pass and a note of this should he
made by our real estate dealers as
well as those Interested In planting
orchards. IVachcs brought to town
this season are remarkable for sl.e.

OLD ORCHARD PROBLEM
MUST BE SOLVED
"Slwli We Clean It or Pull It?'
the Question to Ih? Con
sidered. is
Some large deals In fruit lands
have taken place in Josephine county
within the last Blxty days and many
more are under way. These are
legitimate transactions and not
local speculation. The lands have
been bought as orchards or to plant
to orchards and in the year to come
not less than 10,000 acres will be
set to apples, pears, peaches and
grapes. This added to many thou
sands of acreB planted this year and
last will place this county on the
road to prposperlty through its com
mercial orchards and vineyards.
There Is only one thing to be fear
ed and that is the slipBhod methods
of some men who own orchards.
There must he a continuous warfare
on the pests. In this way only can
we succeed In entering the markets
with first-class fruit. The fault has
not always been with the men who
are trying to grow fruit, nor is it
with the letter of the law, but in
its execution. The men charged with
the enforcement of the law fail at
times by allowing Infested orchards
to spread disease to other orchard:;.
Prompt action on the part of com
missioners and Inspectors will in all
cases remedy the existing evils. If
an owner fails to spray for pests or
cut out blight, the inspector's duty
Is plain and if he falls to perform it
he should be remove d. Eternal vigil
ance Is the only way to protect our
orchards. If we are to have our
fruit lands bring a fair price it is
absolutely necessary to have a
county that is clean, that is dear of
pests.
One source of di.sease Is an old
family orchard which has never been
cared for. Diseases of all kinds are
fim ml on these old neglected trees
s'icli as scale, scab, uivn and wooly
aphis, codling moth, anthracnose
and other diseases. The old orchard !
is an abomination and it needs the I

I best efforts of 'lie owner and Inspect-
' ... ......
lie cleaned or
pulled, for it Is a dis-
ease breeder .and a-disease spreader.
This is .the best frfiit country on 'the i
face of 'the earth iwid men who sf J
not keep their orchards dean have
little respect for themselves or their
neighbors.

KtrawlM-rrlos a Profitable Crop.
The growing of strawberries can
profitably be undertaken around
Grants Pass on a large scale. The
market for this fruit Is In Portland
and the price for the early berries
will be most remunerative. To In
sure against frost the smudge should
be used. There can be no more
profitable crop grown than the
strawberry but it requires close at
tention. Below we print the experi
ence of a strawberry grower of our
neighboring state.
"C. E. Wagnec, of Satsop, Wash.,
has a prize patch of strawberries,
from which ho sold this season 600
crates, at an average price of $2 a
crate, or a total of $1200 for the
rrop. There are two acres In the
patch and no special treatment was
given the plants save a small smudgo
plant, which was brought Into' tiso
to prevent damage from frost, at a
cost of about $fi."."
