PAGE THREE TO END ORCHARD BLIGHTM. 1 Final Decree to Be Based on Hearing Then Court Holds Community Rights First. An Interlocutory order giving Tom L. Taylor of Central Point until Jan uary 1 to clean blight from the re mainder of hla pear orchard will be entered In Taylor's suit against va rious state and county agricultural officials, Judge H. D. Norton said In circuit court yesterday afternoon at the completion of testimony. Taylor sought a permanent. In junction restraining the agricultural officials from cutting out the re maining two and a half acres, about six acres already having been re moved. A temporary restraining ord er had halted the officials. At the termination of the Inter locutory order a hearing will be held to determine whether Mr. Tay lor has removed the blight to the satisfaction of the agricultural of ficials, the court said. On the basis of the hearing a final decree will be Issued. Counsel for the plaintiff and the defendants were asked by the court to submit decrees for his use In framing the Interlocutory order. It was expected that the order prob ably would be Issued on Monday. - While both sides saw victory In the present status of the case, the court's action appears on the surface at least to uphold the authority of the agricultural officials to step Into an orchard to eliminate blight. Judge Norton indicated that if Mr. Tnylor did not remove the blight to the satisfaction of the officials by Jan uary 1, an order would be Issued pro viding relief from the blight "nut ance." Judge Norton stated yesterday that more than the Individual rights of Mr. Taylor were at stake. He de clared that the rights of others were involved, that' blight threatens the whole pear industry and therefore the prosperity of the entire com munity. The case has been watched with intense interest because it was the first one of its kind to be tried In court. The suit was directed against Solon T. White, both as an indi vidual and as director of the State Department of Agriculture, Robert G. Fowler, county agent; C. B. Cor- dy, deputy state horticultural in spector, and H. E. Warner and Frank McKennon, deputy Inspectors, all be ing named as Individuals and in their official capacities. Mr. Taylor contended that blight conditions In his orchard were not sufficiently serious .to warrant the agricultural officials entering the orchard to remove it and that If they did enter they could legally take only such steps as might be necessary In good orchard practice to remove the blight without re moving the trees. The firm of Newbury & Newbury was counsel for the plaintiff. R, Lawrence Lister of Salem, an assis tant attorney -general, and District Attorney Frank J. Newman were counsel for the defendant.
