Mr. C. B. Whlsler, manager Bear
Crook orchards, Mcdford, Or. Dear
Sir: You arc correct In supposing that
tho penrs sent us for storage exper
iments "have passed to the great be
yond," but It was only tho 25th of
May that wo turned off tho last ones.
A report on them should have been
made Immediately after that date, but
K has been overlooked In our rush o(
-work. Wo thank you for calling our
attention to this matter.
In order to give you in tho most
onclse form the fullest report pos
sible on this fruit, I am sending you
opies of our notes made on tho same.
Tho fruit was stored with tho Mer
chants' Refrigerating company of Jer
sey City, N. J., at a temperature of
32' degrees, and unless otherwiso spec
ified, Inspections were made at the
storago house. At tho time of several
f the later Inspections it wa3 Imprac
ticable to inspect tho fruit at Jersey
City, and somo of tho boxes were with
drawn and forwarded here.
As might bo expected of the three
lots of Bartletts, the ono stored at the
earliest date, August 31st, hold for
a longer period than the others. In
feet the third lot stored on Septem
ber 17th, was in practically the same
condition October 2d aj the lot stored
August 31.
gj -Tho final inspection of Buerro
4'Anjou was made February 5, when
the fruit was In prime condition for
taraiedlate consumption. This Inspec
tion "was made here and the fruit
was held In a warm office for five
iays longer, when it was still in prlmo
condition and of flno quality. Some
ef the spots which had been bruised
hi express shipment had begun to
soften somewhat At this time the
fruit was distributed about some of
the bureau offices and was greatly
appreciated by all.
The last two boxes of Bosc were
forwarded- to this office April 5 when
the fruit was still in fair condition,
the flesh being quite firm, only slight
shriveling being neticeable: Ono box
was Immediately sent to Center Mar
ket cold storage and was hold there
at a temperature of 32 degrees until
May 25. The only change noticeable
after this later period of storage was
a slight lncrcaso In decay and the ap
pearance of scald on a few of tho
fruits. Tho quality of tho fruit was
only fair nt this tlmo. Tho othor box
which was forwarded hero April B
was held in a warm office eight days,
when tho fruit was past Its commer
cial season, soft spots having appear
ed, and practically all of the fruit on
the outside layers of tho box bolng
shrlvoled, particularly around tho
stems. Tho Inspection of a box of
Inlrgeau forwarded horo from Jersey
City February 5 showed tho fruit to
bo still firm and green and not yet
at the limit of its commercial holding.
Owing to tho press of othor business,
we were unablo to make another In
spection of this fruit until April 5,
when It was In rather poor market
condition. A great sharo o fit was
still hard and green, but considerable
decay was showing, somo mold was on
the stems and slight shrlvollng of the
skin made an unattractive appear
ance.
At the Inspection of February 5 tho
boxes of Cornice wero in about tho
samo condition as Clatrgeau except
that they wero higher colored and
more nearly ripe. No further Inspec
tion of this fruit was made until April
5, when fruit from a box forwarded
hero from Jorsey City showed up only
fair in quality, but otherwiso was in
WORK IS GOING

What a Soli Survey Is and Some
of Its Benefits.
BAPTIST ASS'N
A. T. Strahorn, who is in tho val
ley for tho purpose ol' milking u soil
survey for tho government, is mak
ing considerable progress with the
work, which will covor about 800
square miles. Practically all lauds
with an elevation of less thati 3000
feet will bo surveyed and mapped.
The work was commoncod by Mr.
Strahorn about two voek9 ago and
ho expects to bo employed thereon
tho nyU of this soason and tho work
will extend over into next yoar, at
least. The work to bo done here, he
estimates, would take six men five
or six months.
A soil survey embraces a report
of tho area boiug covered uud a map

tural development of tho area; tho

against each other. "We judge this
to be due to some extent to the fact
that the fruit was not packed for ex
press shipments or for forwarding in
less thqin carload lots. This same
spotting was found at the first Inspec
tion In boxes which were not lined
with paper. No docay was noticeable
in the Bpots at first; the discoloration
seemed to be simply on the skin, but
after holding out of storage decay
usually developed from these bruises.
As a whole, this fruit showed up to
very good advantage, and from our
standpoint we consider the results ob
tained to amply Justify the experi
ment. If we can at any future time be of
further use to you In any work of
this sort, do not hesitate to call upon

In many irrigated sections tho locu
tion of tho ground water is often a
serious matter, aud tho discussion of
this is confirmed mainly to methods
whereby tho trouble may bo removed
or rendered less troublosomc.
Tho map accompanying tho re
port shows accurately tho location of
all roads, trails, streams, lakes,
houses nnd nIo show the location
nnd extent of every class of soil

closed hv narrow lines and enoh type
is indicated hv a single color. Along
tho mnrgin of the map is given a lo
irend which cnnblcs ono to easily as
certain the nnmo of a desired soil.
Thus with tho map showing the
locations of the soil, and with the
report discussing tho soil fully, one
is nblo to form nn accurate idea of
tho soil conditions and tho value of
the soil for crops, and what may ho
expected of it when intelligently han
