THUKSDAY, MAY 14, 1903.
The people on the East Side now have
a good easy grade into town, and one
of the beet pieces of roadbed in Waaco
county. This is all due to the enterprise
of. the East Side farmers. Last winter
$1000 in caBh subscriptions was pledged
chiefly by the farmers, with some assists
ance from the merchants of the town,
for road improvements. The Wasco
county court had previously agreed to
appropriate funds equal to the subscrip
tions, but when the gentlemen who com
prise the county court saw the subscrip
tion list of the East Side farmers the pile
was too big for them, and the county
road fund for this section of Hood River
was cut down to $500. Some $900 has
been expended on the hill grade, and a
considerable amount of the subscription
fund is yet to be called in. We don't
think that a more enterprising lot of
farmers can be found anywhere. When
they want good roads they build them,
out of their own pockets if necessary.
Most of the East Side orchards which
bore b6 heavily last fall are not so plen
tiful with bloom this spring, and the
younger trees just coming into bearing
will have to supply a big part of the
apple ciop. Although the orchards may
not bear so heavily this year, the fruit
will be of finer quality. Hon. E. L.
Smith, president of the state board of
horticulture, is of the opinion that by
permitting large crops to mature the vi
tality of the trees are too severely taxed
by excessive bearing. Thinning apples
is a big job but it pays. The matured
fruit is not only larger, but it stands to
reason that the life of the tree is pro
longed. M. M. Hill did thorough work
in thinning his young orchard last year,
and he reports that out of 400 boxes of
apples less than half a dozen were five
tier apples. Thin your apples.
The day of the slipshod careless fruit
grower who knows no reason for any
thing he does and who trusts to luck in
everything is fast passing just as the
day of the light-weight and the crook in
the market is steadily coming to an end
under the strong lime light of publicity,
says. the Chicago Packer. The grower
of the future must know the "how" of
the business if he is to succeed, and that
"how" must not only cover the growing,
picking, packing and marketing of his
product, but must go further he must
know how to turn every part of his pro
duction into profit. In plain English he
must make of growing a business and
give it the same attention a merchant
gives to his business. The grower who
does not will be forced out of the deal
an.d will have to adopt some other call
ing for an existence.
The Wheeler county grand Jury ex
hibited their good sense, says the Moro
Observer, by reporting to the court that
"We have not examined the books of
the county officials for the reason that
we are not expert book-keepers and
could not make any satisfactory exam
ination of same." That's better than
if they bad made the stereotyped re
port, "We have examined the county
books and find them .to be neatly and
correctly kept," when as a matter of
fact they knew nothing about it. Grand
juries should not be expected to report
on a matter that only an expert ac
countant Is capable of handling. But
they should employ an expert to find
errors, wheu the county court neglects
to do so, knowing full well that dis
crepancies do exist.
