HE TO CLEAN

Professor P. J. O'Gara Issues State
ment to Orchnrdlsts Informing
Them That This Is the Season of
the Year to Begin Cleaning Up.
CHARGED WITH
STEALING COPPER
Two Mexicans Arrested on Complaint
of T. C. Barry Said to Have Pur
loined Copper Piping From Old
.Distillery.
V J. O'Qnrti, pathologist, has
sued a notice to orchardisl of the
valley calling ihoir attention to the
fad Hint this is the season of the
year to plena up orchard. Profes
sor O'Onra says:
"In another column of tlio Mail
Tribunc will lie found a notice to
sprnv all orchard tniit trees with
lime sulphur. The olijeot in apply
ing a lime-sulphur solution i not so
tnueh to kill or destroy any insert
pest as it is to prevent future in
festation. This is alo true of fun
gous disease. Therefore, at this
time, it iloes not matter whether treo.s
are going to bear fruit or not; every
tree, obi and young, .shonbl he
Sprayed in order to keep it free from
infestation or infection. Whon a
young tree it is important that the
foliage bo kept free from injury.
Young pears are very subject to tbc
attacks of the blister mite, and they
should not be neglected. The orchard
practice at this season of the year
does not take into account their con
dition so far a.s hearing fruit i con
cerned. It is a very nice thing, -f
course, to know whether trees are go
ing to bear or not, but at this eaon
of the year it is not a difficult thing
to determine this and no special ap
paratus or facilities are necessary.
So far as the stone fruits and the
pears are concerned nil that is neces
sary is a good pHir of eyes and the
ability to count. With the apples, we
are so near the blooming period that
no sH'cial difficulty should be found
in making a fair estimate of the crop.
Even this examination does not need
n microscope. For those who do not
know how to determine whether buds
are to produce leaves or blossoms, I
may say that the easiest thing to do
is to cut a few twig, which may be
representative of the average condi
tions in the orchard, mid then pat
them into a vase filled with frosh wa
ter and keep them in a wnna room.
The water should be changed every
days and it is also a good plan to
cut fresh, from day to day, the ends
of the wigs submerged. This is done
in order to preevnt the plugging of the
vessels which would tend to reduce
the amount of water necessary for
the twigs. If anyone cares to take
tho time, he may go to the display
windows of the Kogue River Canal
company and see Spitzenberg blos
soms that have boon in full bloom for
more than a week. Therefore, all the
apparatus and facilities necessary at
this time of the year will be a sharp
knife, a vase or Mason jar, water
and n warm room. A few days will
determine whether buds will produ"c
leaves or blossoms. If any work re
quiring facilities or apparatus is
necessary, the time for it has pnsed.
Embryological work along this line
could have been done months ago."

A ROSEBED OF PRETTY GIRLS WITH THE BIG MUSICAL COMEDY, "MUTT AND JEFF," AT MEDFORD
THEATER ONE NIGHT ONLY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22.
Friday Afternoon T. C Harry swore
out eoiniJaints against Peter Lobes
and Charles Loan, two Mexicans,
charging them with the theft nf 701)
ltmds of copMr ping, valued at
about $.)U0. They were arrested by
Constable Simrler and were brought
before Justice, of the Peace Taylor
and in default of bail were remanded 1
to tho custody of the constable to
appear for trial at 2 o'clock today.
The property alleged to have been
stolen was copper pipes used in the
old distilling plant which became an
extinct business enterprise in Med
ford nearly 20 years Net. The piKis.
together with other materials used in
the distillery, hae been stored in a
warehouse at the extreme north end
of Cntml avenue for a number of
years.
The pipe bad been cut into small
pieces which makes its identification
more liitncult. .Junk ileaters nave
been known to refuse to buy metals
of any kind uutilvthey had been brok
en into small piece, presumably as
a safeguard against identification
should the question of ownership
arise.

Concert by Madame Schumann-Heink.
Madame Scbumann-IIeink's versa
tility shows in the variety of ex
pressiveness with which she is able to
sing songs widely contrasted in color
and mood. It has been truly said that
the distinguished contralto has n song
for every mood and that she does
each one equally wejl. It matters
not whether the composition be viva
cious, pathetic or noble in dignity
when Madame Schumann-Heink is in
the act of giving it hor masterful in
terpretation. She is the one nrtist of
whom it can be said: "She does all
classes of song with sincere, lofty and
effective art."
