wa do not know what can possi

know that Eagle can show more

that they have on several occa

to dairying, as we suppose he
oes, he must recollect that the

they surely will get fat anyway.

FRUIT-CULTURE
H. H. Weatberspoon, member
of the state beard of Horticul
ture for Eastern Oregon, passed
through Richland on his way to
' Baker last week. During his
y : inort stay here he met by ap
nointment Geo. B. Saunders and
leo. A. Littlefiold. He express-
id-hunsi?.! as. well pleased with
.fruit possibilities of Eagle Valley
and said that, he did not believe
that a, the neople here real
ized what th iyvhad in the way of
opportunity for commercial fruit
growing, in, comparison with oth
; ev much' more advertised fruit
' growing sections of this state
und i Washington. He thought
T we had many advantages. He
are always urging the danger of
over-production but says not 10
percent of the orchards that
have been planted in the last
few years, by developement com
panies, and sold to Eastern buy
ers will cut any figure in the
market. Many si ch orchards by
reason of poorly selected ground
and unscientific care have gone
to rack and ruin already. He al
so pointed out the world wide
market that is rapidly being de
veloped for our fruit and also the
great advantages that will come
with the opening of the Panama
Canal.
"Well", he remarked, "the
man who plants an apple or
chard of well selected commer
cial varieties and gives' that or
chard proper care will jn five or
Mr. Weatberspoon is rjot a thqo-
rise out a practical orchard nian
and owner of one hundred and
fifty acres bearing orchards in
Union county.
He spoke of the. importance of
stamping out the blight in all or
chards and the 'determination of
the state board "to have this dis
ease under control. He also em
phasized the fact that the law
requires all fruit placed on the
market to be clean and free from.
scales and worms. "Two infect
ed apples," he said, "in a car
load, was sufficient for the f rqit
inspector to condemn and destroy
the car load." He also said the
same rule applied to lemons and
oranges. He said that frequent
ly lemons and oranges are scale
infected and should be condemned
Mr. Weatherspoon hopes to hold
a pUblicmeeting in Eagle Valley
some time this fall and will try
to develope interest in commer
cial fruit growing.
