In horticulhn-o. iiitinsivi QTflPIC CVPUAMPC as"1"- in road building, in city building, iu public ulUUlA LAUilnnUL improvements, Jackson county sets an example to all uregon. .Jackson county is sending to the legislature a delega tion superior to the average delegation from the average county. Two of its ineinbei-s have seen extensive service in previous sessions. A third member is a veteran journ alist, familiar with the legislative work of urnm sessions. The fourth member is the first Oregon girl to be thus lion oreel the sole representative of her sex in the legislative Halls. The joint representative from Douglas and .Jackson, "NY. I. Vawter, has twice served in the house with satisfac tion to constituents of both counties. A man of large af fairs, time spent at Salem involves a personal sacrifice, lie is the natural choice of Southern Oregon for speaker of the house, for which position he is abundantly qualified. Once before he was defeated for speaker by a narrow margin. The southern Oregon delegations should unite unon Mr. Vawter as their candidate for the speakership. The fact that he is not an active candidate for the office only emphasizes the need of activity in his behalf. "With the Portland delegation divided, a "solid southern Oregon del egation would command enough support to elect him and there is none among the candidates better qualified by experience, training and natural ability tq preside over a business session of Oregon lawmakers. Here is a chance to secure for southern Oregon some thing of the political prestige the section merits, and at the same time bestow something of the recognition Mr. awters own , service to state, community and party de serves. ,;.

Trndlnp was restricted to bontlH for which In all Instances min imum prices were established. All transactions were for cush and every effort wns made to exclude for eign selling. Tho attendance of the floor of tho exchango when the roup sounded at 10 o'clock was unusually largo. There was little business at the outset of the session. The first transaction was the sale of five bonds of distillers securities fives at GC, an advanco or 3$A. After tho first 15 minutes trading lapsed Into extreme dullness, with a mixture of gains and losses. Selling pressuro about which there had been so much apprehension, did not nppcar, much to tho satisfaction ot the financial district. Instead many broken said they had commis sions to buy five or six bonds ngalnst every one they had to sell. Declines wore recorded in the final hour.

'Ml'JlA rTiil'iios i'hwicii en n Importance of this disease, and the evident necessity for concerted action In tho most rigid application ot best methods If we would control It, seem to Justify my present erfort even at the risk of repeating only thoso facts which have already become common place with many of the growers. There never was a time since blight became prevalent in this val ley when the possibilities for Its eradication were more promising than at present. The dry hot weather of tho pst summer so unfavorable to the growth of new wood and development ot fruit, has also been unfavorable to tho tapld reproduction and spread ot the blight germ. The Mowly growing tissues being less have furnished a less favorablo sub stratum for the growth of the blight organism, which in many instances has evidently lost vigor and is ap parently either dead or In a somewhat dormant condition. Iu many such cases the diseased area had already become Miarply delimited from tho healthy bark while the tree was In full vigor. Another favorable effect of the season from tho point of view of blight control, is tho relatively early maturity of the now wood, which should simplify the recognition and elimination of all aerial Infec tions. The underground infections, too, although of all too frequent oc currence, havo doubtless been limited Iu number, and the spread of the germ in any diseased area has prob ably been less rapid than In normal years. This means then that we have fewer blight cankers to contend with, that they are generally more limited Iu area, and more sharply defined titan oidluarlly, and that our chances for cutting them out are vej-y favor able Indeed, when compared with the condition of recent yearn. Might No Kiftiiinulnl This lessened activity on the part of the blight germ has uppaiently led botuo grouera to the very grave mis conception that the disease has been practically eliminated from (lielr or chards apd that now there Is nothing to bo done. No greater en or could bu mude at this time, and If wo would control UiIh pest wo must pay tho price of continual vglunc.

Small family or chards in town or on tho farm, old deserted orchards, and old trees In out of the way places must receive as careful attention nnd be as thorough ly "cleaned up" as tho best commer cial orchard In tho valley. Combat ing blight is not a one man fight, and no orchardlst can hope to keep clean as long as his neighbor manifests In difference on this very vital question. Ono virulent case of "holdover," un der favorable conditions might read ily become the sourco of an epidemic over the entire section. Notwithstanding the fact that na turo has been kind to us in limiting the spread of the blight germ, and that most of tho orchardlsts have been diligent In bcarchlng for It, many such Urulcnt onsen still exist. This Is especially true In tho under ground part of tho tree. Many Infec tions havp leen observed this sum- mpr and fnll Iu the crown and roots of trees which wero in normal condi tion uo far as could bo detected above ground, A considerable number of theso were evidently old cankers which had escaped notice during tho last scasotiK campaign and had prob ably been fcrlllo center for further distribution. Such underground can kern undoubtedly are very pro duetlve of early spring Infections, if Indeed they are not the chief source, and their thorough eradication will tiQ far toward controlling tho disease. If theso could always be recognized Irom symptoms nbove ground the problem of eradication would bo sim plified; but unfortunately such Is not tho case and tho only means of dis covering them Is to unepver the crown and roots of all susceptible trees, and examine them carefully for Infection. This Is an enormous task Involving considerable time and ex. pense, but there Is no other way. Manj orchardlsts have already under, taken to do this, und I would sug gest and urge that every owner or controller of an orchard make such careful examination of every tree In Ills charge before the sup begins to rise In the spring. It Is necessary ilmt the tree bo uncovered far enough down to permit of ait examination of tlio roots as well as tho crown, since It fieipiently happen that a root In action has not yet eiilernd tho body of the tide. Home caves have been noted whom this prucllcii was not bo liuc observed.

Olopotlll lf MlgllKMl 'flHl' MlOlllMI oue,o of LOll0l!lbJ" luiportunro, In tho disposal of blight oil tlsRiies after th'oy huvo boon re moved from tint tree. Several canon luwo boon observed litis milliliter where diseased limbs nnd troos huvo boon allowed to llu In tho orchard or near It foornl weeks after cut ting thotii out, and tu otto or two In stances the orchnrdlst had permitted such branches to dry In tho brush heap and then used them for props. Tho assumption In those cases ban ap parently been that when tho diseased member Is cut off there Is no further danger or Infection from It. Tho blight germ, It Is true, Is very readily killed by exposure to direct sunlight ur by complete drying, but a cousld- orablu period elapses after a diseased limb Is cut from thn tree before the tissues could be considered drj, oven under tho most fnvornblo conditions. In fact It Is not uncommon to find branches stilt ooxlng blight several days after they have been cut out Any such material should ho looked upon as a probable sourco of Infec tion and treated accordingly, Wo have too much nt stake in this tac tion to tnko tho chance of watting for tho sun and weather to kill tho hUght germ. Tho only safe thing to do Is to collect nil diseased material Im mediately utter It is cut out and burn It. IHiufectloii Thorough disinfection of tools and wounds is nu Important factor in n campaign ngalnst blight. The most effective material for this purpose and tho one which has been repeated ly recommended, Is bichloride of mer cury. This substance however Is ery tensltlvo lo ehnugo when hi ought Into contact with other materials, ami unless properly protected loses Its disinfectant ipinllO. Most of us havo had the experience of having rings and other Jewelry tarnished by contact with bichloride of mercury. The same thing happens whenexer It comes into contact with other metal Ic or mineral substance. This moans simply that the mercury ha com blncd with those other substances and the strength of the solution has been reduced to a greater or less de gree. A similar thing hapiieus when ever this material comes Into contact with free organic substances. Tho mercury forms a precipitate with this nnlvnl or vegetable material nnd thus leaves the solution weakened as a dlscnfcctant, the degree of weaken ing depending upon the amount of organic matter present In experi ments rcceutl carried out In another connection, I had opportunity to bo come acquainted with tho extremely scusatlvc nature of this substance. Solutions made up uf ordinary lake water, rich In animal and vegetable matter lost thejr aseptic qualities In a very short tline,"tliO lnercury com ing down In a white precipitate which could bo seen at the bottom of the glass vessel or remaining In suspen sion giving the liquid a milky appear ance; solutions mnde of ordinary tap water containing lime and other min eral substances but which was free from organic matter romained eflcc Ivo longer, but satisfactory rosults wero secured only with water free from both organic and Inorganic sub stances. Either distilled or clean rainwater was effective. Mention of a few facts which have been observed during the past few months will mako clear the application of nil this to our present problem of blight control. !nirrfrcl Methods I'miI In n few cases the blchlorldu bolu lion was carried In an open vessel, and the cutting tools and sponges wero freely dipped into it and often allowed to remain for soiuu time. This of co ii r bo would bo a very effi cient method of sterilization so long ns the solution retained its poison ous property, hut that certainly can ult bo for a fry lung time. In ono orchard the disinfectant was carried in an old tin can whch atr.o contained organic matters, thus providing ideal conditions for destroying Its aseptic quality. In another orchard thn holu tlon, although carried In a closed ves sel ns rccoiupieuded, had been used so long without change, and had boon contaminated until It had become filled with u reddish precipitate. Such a bolutlon is as Ineffectual as pure water when used us n disinfect ant. Fortunately such extreme cases are exceptional, the solution In gen eral being carried lu closed glass ves sels and renewed at frequent Inter vals, The method of application of the solution, howercr, js not always entirely satisfactory and deserves the most careful attention. The use of tho sponge, ultliough tho most effec tive means In our possession, is open to considerable criticism. Ono fre quently sees a workman wipe his knife on the wound ho has made with a comparatively dry sponge, nnd ull too often with one which has been lying in (he dirt wjo the cutting was goliiK on Such a practice will not eiflii deklred results The soil and oflur materlul collected Iu tho npongo dehtroy Iho polsoiimin quality uf tho solution which It enr r)os, ho Hint thero Is nviir diumor of Introducing bnttoiin Instead or Mil lug thoso already present. And dis infection can not bo suecosstnl iiiiIosm tho surface to bo storllUoil Is thor oughly drenched with a clean solu tion, for thn blchlorldu of mercury will not kill blight germs except hy direct contact. It Is also common to see a blight oultor wipe the soil from his chisel or other digging Instru ment with tho same sponge whUii ho uses for the cutting tools, and for tho rounds, lu this case ho nut onl falls to disinfect tho digging tools, hut renders tho spougo unfit for fur ther uso on clean surfaces. A separ ate sponge or cloth should bo kept nt hand for removing soil from Iho tools before any attempt Is made to disinfect them. No one of ts would think or using such a sponge lo apply an antiseptic wash to a wound on man or beast, ot tho sumo principle Is Involved hero us lu blight disinfec tion. Then theso name grimy spon ges nro often applied to tho mouth of tho bottle for a fresh supply of liquid. This practice should bo avoided since, for lonsourt nlrondy explained, It tends to destroy tho disinfectant pro. perty ot tho solution tu the buttle. A better plan Is to snlurato tho sponge without bringing It lu contact 'with the bottle. Successful disinfection, thou, Is de pendant upon a rigid observance of tho following snnltnry precautieus: (1) Tho bichloride of mercury olu tlon should to mnde up of soft water free from organic matter. (J) The solution bo curried iu u clean, cloned, glass osMi, and kept free from con taminating Hiibtitnuces. (3) Tho sponge or swab should never come lu contact with thu soil, nnd should bo kept free from organic ttttbstnucos by frequent wnshlug, and (I) nil tools nnd wounds to be disinfected should be thuruughly drenched with fresh solutlou. Wo hope soon tu ho lu possession of a better method of applying the disinfectant, but until that time wo should make every effort to secure efficiency with the means at our dis posal, M I, MENDEHSON.
