Mttnfrntion by M. M. IJoot In oir
Iwhp of March , to !lleh ho "at

Sir. Hoot is to bo tunnmcnilcrl f r
his frankno m icjranl to hnvinj: nn
t. lo Rriwd. Hut ho i grinding; it n
the oxpenar- of the frttitjtrovver-. of
the vnllcy.
ThU te no idle statement, because
the continued use of oil will ntao
luti'ly niin overv oiclinwl insulo the
cmudse nron in the valley. There is
no need to go into un very nient de
tail in line-king tip this statement, an
I'Covcictl the kiouikI er thorough!
in nn in tide in the Fcbiunry 10 is
sue of your pnper.
In niibivurinir this I would .ny (lint

not nuking the oiehnrd men to turn
the irrii dstone. I lme neither wood
nor eoul to sell, and 1 nm not nn
ngtht for any miulging material.
Hut we tue and hnvo been for some
tim'ti eiiKURed in the busiueis of rnis

like to lemain in the business hut
n fen more seasons of iniulsin? such
nil we lime roiio tluniigli in the past
will niin the ore hard, and iuoidcnluN

'alone. Every other oiehnrd man
and alfalfa farmer in the nlley is
iiithe same boat.
' Any one who was familiar with
the orchard of the alley before
the oUtcnee of the MiutiiirinK cannot
but spo the nt difference in the
vitality of the I ices of then nud now.
It may be laid that the poor condi
tion now i due to dry weather. This
is partially true, but the failure of
tjio ei ops and the los of itality of
lite tieo.s began before the dry sea
poiis, and himultaueously with tho
geneial use of oil.
Mr. Koot .states that theic are
runny leubons why oil burning smudge
pot8 nie the best means of orchard
heating, but he fniln to make any of
them public. I do not believe that
any ono is called on to attach any
great weight to a statement of this
kind thai is not backed up by facts,
either dueotly or indirectly. If .Air.
Hoot has any good reasons for his
statement, he certainly owes it to
the orchard men to inako them pub
lic. 'Tin true, theio has boon no direct
work done, with roferennc to tho
Fhnidge injury to fruit trees, but all
plants arc so similar in their vital
functions that any one thing that in
jiiiv any one plant or speeio will,
in 05 eases out of 100, injure other
plant of a similar nature. Oil smudge
injury ha beon proven beyond a
shadow of doubt in many eases whore

rind whoio thw one factor was the
only one that could possibly enter to
ohiisc injury.

Snskutchewnn, Canndn. This organ
ization, under its cannblo dirw'tor,
VnM brought to a very high lnto of
officicnev and was well known
throughout the central west prov
inces. It was while Mr. Rowland
was conducting his band on the af-
'ternoon of the 30th of June, 1012,
that the disastrous evelono struck tho
citv of Reginn, which resulted in n
loss of 100 lives and the demolishing
of .100 building. The selection the
liand was interrupted in at the crit
ical moment was Supno's oveitine to
