ADVISED NOT TO
PRUNE TILL MAY
rOliVALMS, Ore., Jan. 2(1 Fruit
tree injury in various Oregon or
chard districts, due to the record cold
weather of December, lillil, ranges
from slight damage to winter kill, re
ports W. S. Hrown, chief of -horticulture
at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. Professor Brown advises
growers to do little or no ;runing be
fore April or May. best give nature a
chance to restore the injured trees to
vigor. His report follows:
"Oregon suffered about the middle
of December from probably the se
verest freeze on record in most of the
fruit growing sections of the state.
The dnmage resulted from this wide
spread low temperature was rather
spotted in its severity, some locations
not suffering much as the extreme
cold would seem to indicate.
. Nature of DnnuiKO
"The most serious damage seems
to be in the region of the tree imme
diutelv'nbove the snow line, taking in
the upper purt of the trunk and the
mniu limbs; . It is indicated bv a' dis
coloring of the bark, the cambium
layer und in some instances, the outer
part of the wood. The tender grow
ing points nnd sometimes the entire
inside portion of the fruit spur may
be affected. Combintd with this
bark und wood injury nianv buds are
affected, especially on the sweet
cherries und pears.
Cause of Injury
"The chief cause of the in in rv.
which is usually found to extend en
tirely around the tree, is the combina
tion of low temperature, coupled
with the presence of considerable
sap in the lower part of the trees at
least. Another contributing factor
which was verv ser ous was the heat
generated on he south and south
west sides of the trees bv the sun's
reflection on the snow. This caus
ed a drying out of that portion of
the hark and an injury much worse
in some eases than is found on the
north side of the tree.
. Seriousness of Damufrn
"It js not possible to tell nt pres
ent just how badly injured tho trees
are. Shortly after the freeze the
division of horticulture of the col
lege station sent out a great number
of letters to different growers thru-
out the state uskiug them to send
samples- of injured material to the
college. A great nianv limbs, twigs
and buds have been sent in for ex
nminntion. Some of the twigs con
taining buds have been placed in the
greenhouse in water, to see if thev
have vitality enough to open the buds
nnd function properly. Tissues
from the larger limbs were given
careful microscopic examination.
"It is found from this work that
there is a great deal of difference in
the severity of the iniurv. due to' sev
eral causes, among them the condition
of the trees nt the time of freezing.
the vnnetv. nnd the location of the
orchard. All gradations in injury are
louuj,
CITY TO REDOING
Gourde T. Collins arrived home
Sunday bv train after having made a
trip in an auto to Itedtlimr last Sat
urdiiv, which will he onri news to a
mimbt'r ot' people in the vjtllev who
are eoiiteinil:itin; a trip south 1ml
have been deterred Irom doimr so lor
lear that the roads were impassible
between Ashland and Keddiuir.
'As I have occasion to o south
about FelimuTV 1st and found ii
would cost about $(15 to ship n Hu'ht
car, about 2,")00 pound, from .Med
ford to Redding (I believe sevenil
have shipped their ears recently us
far as Reddine), I thought I would
take a davoff and se bow far I
onlil iret, so I left Medford at f a. in.
on Saturday in a liirht Oakland six
made Yreka in three hours and Red
utnir in four more without any trouble
whatever did not even trv to hur
ry," said Mr. Collins.
"The road over the Siskivous has
been blocked bv a slid' at Hear
(lulch near the California line, but it
was possible to uet throuuh with care.
The l'oir earlv in the niorniuir both
ered more than the road did. Osknr
1 1 uber's men were ready to blast, a
steep hillside of solid rock at that
point' to, .prevent further slides and I
expect that a few hours after 1 uot
through - the roa.d would be blocked
again for a few days.
"There is nothing- that eau make
the Siskiyou road impassible except
iiiir deep snow or slides. Rain does
not affect it at all :fs the base is ltnra
all the way. From the California line
to Yreka is excellent : from Yreka io
Gazelle the same; from Gazelle to
Weed, a little bumpy but perfectly
drv, and from Weed to Dnnsmuir is
verv srond.
The Sacramento eanvon from
Dnnsmuir to Rcddimr. has been th
subject of more misinformation than
any other piece of road on the coast.
It is alwavs reported as impassable,
and wild stories are alwavs eireulat
imr about the terrible detours, mud
holes, etc. I made. three round trips
over this road lust year and alway
found it irood, and when I went
through Saturday, it was better than
I have ever seert iti
"Krom Dnnsmuir to Lamoiiie. which
is about a third of the way, the road
was muddy, but. no more so than the
road from Medford to Jacksonville,
and a much better road. From La
moine to Redding1 the road is a boule
vard, hard, smooth and dry. The
grading is all completed, all tin
bridges are in and open to traffic, and
not a detour the entire distance. Road
men arc working all the time, rolling,
scraping, filling in chuck holes as fast
as they appear, etc., for the entire G8
miles.
"It was foggy and raining all the
way when I went hrough, but if it
rained continuously for a mouth it
would not hurt that road a particle,
as it is so well graded and drained. I
did not use chains anywhere between
Medford and Redding.
"Anyone who can drive at all can
make this trip in perfect safety. I
would not hesitate to start from
Dnnsmuir for Redding at midnight on
a bicycle with one hand tied behind
me.7

WILL TEST LAW
"I H. Daily, game warden from
Jaekson county, who is in the e-Jty
today, states that in The opinion of
the wardens and olh. rs, the seasMi
is now closed to all furms of trout
fishing, and that ilia-much as the
teelhead is classified as a trout in
the Rogue, it is thend'on; illegal to
oati'li steelhead now" siys the Grants
Pass Courier.
"As there Is a difference of (.'pinion
upon the subject, a lest case is to be
arranged in Jackson county, and get
an opinion from the courts upon the
subject. Arrangement have been
made for the arrest of a man, one
already having been found who was
willing to be the goat. This party
will catch a -steelhead as soon us one
can get through the Macleay nets at
the mouth of the. river, and will sub
mit himself to arrest. He will be de
fended hv Attorneys K. 1. Ilriggs of
Ashland, and Evan Kcaines of Med
ford. "The ct.'ntentiou of Warden Dailey
is that the law which was passed
some years ago classtlymg tlio steel
head in the Rogue as a trout is still
effective, notwithstanding that the
steelhead in other streams is classi
fied as a salmon, and that because of
this it is among tho trout now pro
tected by law till April 1st."
MAY LOCATE NEW AUTO
LOCK FACTORY HERE
Frank Klllott, after spending two
or three days visiting his family and
selling his patent "Kant-Kop" ante
lock to the Medford dealers, will re
turn to Portland tonight. The new
lock is one of the best made, cutting
the gas off the motor and makes It
fin possible to start the car. Accord
ing to all who have seen the lock Air.
Klltctt has a wonderful opportunity
with the new device.
Parties are figuring on what can
be done toward locating the factory
here. The present arrangements for
the manufacture are only temporary.
It would be a splendid thing for Med

"Tannic has certainly proved what -ft
can do by restoring me to health
and 1 am recommending it to my
friends and customers." was th-.(
statement made recently by Mrs. Min
nie. Atkins who is the proprietor of
Mothers' Place, a well-patronized res
taurant at ll!H West Hroadway, San
Diego, Cal.
"About a year ago n;y health be
gan to fail me and I got in a terribly
weakened, run-down condition." eon
tinued Mrs. Atkins. "I bad almost
no appetite at all and what little 1 ,
forced myself to eat did me more!
harm than good, and all the time l1
felt so weak and tired that it was all
could do to keep the place going. j
"After I had been in this condition!
several weeks, the clerk in the hotel i
uevt door told me about Tautac and
ulvised me lo give it a trial. Well,
it was no time alter 1 began taking it
before 1 was feeling better ami by the
time I had finished my second bottle
my appetite had come back, 1 could
digest everything I ate perfectly and
was feeling just as fine as ever.
"I was in the very best of health
until about three months ago when 1
had a bad case of the iuflueii'.a and
was in bed a week and unable to at
tend to my work for two weeks or
more. I was left In such a weakened
condition that ! was hardly able to
get across the floor and had pains
and aches all over my body. 1 lost
my appetite again and was troubled
so with Indigestion (hat nearly every
thing I alo or drank disagreed with
me.
"1 sent for Tanlae again and took
two more bottles and it did jm:t like
it had done u year befroe and it was
no time before I was able to do my
work with as much ease as ever and
without getting tired or worn out. I
can eat anything 1 please without any
bad effects at all and the pains all
left mo and 1 am never troubled in
any way. Tanlac is certainly a fine
medicine and it is always a pleasure
to me to recommend It whenever I
get a chance."
