Cherry growers stiould take steps
at this time to control bacterial gum
moetfl, states C- B. Cordy. saststsjit
county agent. This disease attacks all
common varieties of sweet cherries.
It la characterised by gum areas or
cankers on the trunk and main
branches. Large limb are frequent
ly killed, and in severe inw the en
tire tree may die.
This disease should be controlled
during early spring when the p
flow has started upward. Make num
erous longitudinal cut through and
extnditid 6 to 10 Inches above and
below th dlAeaeed area or cmiker.
S'.ifh cut should be spaced about
one to two lnh apart, and hmind
the canker on each side. Cuts to be
through the bark Into the asp wood.
The area should then be mopped with
copper nitrate solution, beliw sure
that the liquid penetrates Into the
many cuta. A sponge answers the
purpoee uuely for applying Hie so
lution. Copper nitrate solution Is made aa
follow: Stir 1 ounce of copper car
boiwite into 2 quartA of water, then
add l'i ounces of concentrated nitric
artd . When t he aolut Ion becomes
dear, add 1 gallon denatured alco
hol. The solution should be prepared
In ft'.aM or enamflware containers and
kept In bnttlea tlp-htly corked,

GOOD
GARDENING
6. The Soil Test.
It may sound technical, but It's
a good Idea before planting your
spring garden to test the kind of
soli you have. If your garden ls
"acid," celery, cabbage, cucumber,
tomato, bean and pea seeds among
vegetables and. dahlia, begonia,
gladiolus and zinnia will not thrive
In It. For the average garden a
soil testing set with a single solu
tion la enough and may be bought
from dealers at a small price. Soil
steeped In the solution colors and
a comparison with an accompany
ing chart tells the soli reaction.
If the ground needs acid, alu
minum sulphate, powdered tannic
acid, peat moss or decayed pine or
oak. sawdust may be used. If It
needs neutralizing, Apply lime.

VICTOR IN SUIT
BROUGHT BY OPP
In the civil suit of John W, Opp
of Jacksonville, pioneer southern
Oregon mining man. against the Pa
cific States Mining company, of
which Robert Z. Strahorn, "northwest
empire builder" Is president. Circuit
1 Judge H. D. Norton today handed
down a decision In favor of the min
ing company against Opp, on all the
Issues Involved except on a technical
construction of royalty payments
amounting to a comparatively small
sum.
Opp In the suit sought cancellation
of the lease of the mining property
t and approximately $34,000 damages
for alleged "unmlnerly operation" of
me court s opinion.
On the royalty payments, the tech
nical question Involved waa whether
the royalty should be on the bsse
output or the smelter returns. The
court holds that the smelter charges
were properly deductible, but not the
freight charges. This will result In a
re-computation of the smelter and
freight charges.
The court held that the only obli
gation of the mining company. Inso
far as "tailings" were concerned, was
that thoy deposit them upon the
property.
Because of the Issues Involved In
the action, the case attracted wide
attention In northwest and northern
California mining circles,''
Opp charged In his complaint that
tho property was being mined In an
"unmlnerly manner." In refutation,
the mining company set forth that It
had made extensive Improvements to
tunnels, placed modern machinery
upon the property and extended de
velopment of the property.
The Opp mine, one of the best
known workings In southern Oregon,
Is located near Jacksonville.
The Pacific States Mining comany
waa represented by Attorney J. F.
FUegel and Opp by Newbury & New
bury. f

Protest Heard.
The records of the Interstate com

that before approving the appoint-
ment of C um m 1 n gs as trustee for
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul, the commission heard a pro
test from minority bondholders.
Julius Weiss, counsel for the
bondholders group, told the commis
ston that Cummlngs already was
chairman of the Chicago bank, dl
rector of the Commonwealth Edison
company, the American Car and
Foundry company, the Texas corpo
ration and the Maryland casualty
company.
"It is physically Impossible for
Mr. Cummlngs to retain, as he says
he will, all of his other positions
and do an' effective Job on the St.
Paul," Weiss protested.
Commissioners Meyer, Porter and
Mahaffie, decided, however, that "It
la reasonable to assume that a man
of Cummlngs' standing and expe
rience would not undertake the Im
portant office In question unless
he was prepared to give It proper at
