o Hood Iftver Slacier. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1903. Granting there has been some valua ble agricultural lands sidetracked in the forestry reservations, plop a moment and think of the thousands of dollars worth of timber saved this summer by absence of forest fires. The present kvhU'Iii of government patrol in the Cas cade range could not well be conducted upon private land domains. Not for years has Oregon been so free from de structive timber fires. Thou let the good work of the forestry bureau go on. The crowds of people that fill the streets every Saturday is a splendid in dication that Hood River is all right. Times are good and everybody has mon ey. Ask a merchant how the fall trade is opening up and he will invariably re ply, "Splendid, splendid. September sains are wav in advance of what they were thiB month last year." Hood River marketed 90,000 crates of Btrawberries this year, which meant 150,000 to the growers. The apple crop will bring perhaps $100,000 more. The sawmills have a . combined output which brings in even more money than the fruit crops. ISo wonder times are cood in Hood River and the people are optimistic. - The school houses in the city of Hood River should be named. The bourd of directors will gladly receive suggestions for appropriate names. THE FARM IffiOTE By HEYMOCR W. CONDON. "True and genuine life; sweet and honorable repose." That is the way Pliny, the Human lawyer, in a letter to his friend, referred to his life on his country estate. Wlme Salmon has just had its first fanners' institute. The attendance was limited, owing, no doubt, to the fact that farmers are inclined to look upon nil professional men, including profes sors of agricultural colleges, as theorists wlio fatten and get sleek off "us pro ducers." Closer contact und better acquaintance change all this, and the "producer" comes to grasp the hand of the man who studies to make farming u practical science, and who holds up lfore the farmer ideals based on eco nomic facts demonstrated by actual contact with our soils. Success, meas ured by net profits per acre and homes of comfort und contentment, dignifies the vocation of the farmer. Sessions were held Wednesday and Thursday, September 9 and 10. Mr. Olsen of Husuui was selected chair man. K. E. Elliot, professor of agri culture and slate superintendent 'of furmers' institutes, made a very witty nnd clear statement of the purposes of the institute work, and I lie programme was at once taken up. Professor Elliot frankly tells the farmers that while the dairy interests of the Northwest have shown a marked development, horti cultural interests, except in a very few localities, are at a very low ebb, insect nests and plant diseases being rife. It is, lie says, the work of the college of agriculture to carry on experimental work studying soils, climatic condi tions and the adaptation of varieties to them. The instil ute was blessed with Smiths. Our own E. L. Smith, whose nameand work is a part of the history of the new era in fruit growing in Oregon and Washington, was there a sample of mail we re proud to claim as our own. Then we had an imported Smith C. L. Smith, ex-dairy commissioner of Min nesotaone who, like tne lien on 'n eggs, is so chock full of experience and observation that it sticks out of his eyes, darts from his linger tips and electrifies his Iron-gray locks. The Minnesota Smith gave the first lecture at the institute, and our E. L. Smith of Hood River closed it with an im promptu appeal that quickened the pulse of every grower who heard it. The Minnesota Smith carries heavy guns on superimposed turrets; his arm movement and foot work would make a modern prize-tighter envious. He wades right into his subject and into his audience. He abuses the farmer for his negligence and cussedness and fives him overwhelming proof of both, ie deals in cold facts ana shows what the farm and the orchard and garden will do under the touch of intelligence and energy and thrift. He opened the programme with a talk on farming in general. Said that the prime object of horticulture or dairying Is home build ing, making them contribute to the home life rather than a sacrifice or neglect of the home and family iu the contest tor dollars. Told of a Missou rian who was going to buy 100 acres more la ml to add to uis already large und badly-managed ranch so that lie could raise more com to feed more hogs to get more pork to sell for more money to liny more land to raise more corn to feed more hogs to get more pork to sell for more money to buy more land to raise more corn to feed more hogs, etc. a two-h'gged hog, you see. He averred that a single-crop farm knows no home life, no fireside com forts. A few cows, he saidf properly cured for, insures a systematic return at short intervals which was more de sirable than a larger income once a yeur. He declared the cow to lie an important and profitable factor in home building. A poor cow with the best of care and food is poor property, and a good cow with poor care or feed is not much better. The speaker said that conditions are never ho Imrd but that some man is ul wajs found to succeed, and what one man can do in the same way others cun do under like Conditions. Some men pound a cow over the back with the milking stool and then growl at the size of their creamery check. The speaker said that he would only use commercial fertilizer as he would medicine, use it w hen you have to, and quit just as soon as you can. He pre ferred cows, horses, jiij-g or chickens as fertilizer factories at home. If you have hut three acres, tattler devote one to manure production rather than try t i ie all three ty feeding commercial fertilizer. Commercial fertilizer does not provide humus. One ton of wheal fed to chickens will do better for land than the amount of commercial fertil izer that the price of one ton of wheat would buy. Keep your manure under a shed and keep it In a tl it pile. Trot hs are kept dowu by loss of by-products. Waste on the farm is apparent every wlu re. Speaking of the value of the hog us a means of turning waste ma ItihI Into profit he said, "Sell your ln-g any lime when it weighs 1(H) pounds; cost of adding weight beyond that limit increase rapidly.'' Iofewor W. H. ljiwrence followed on "Plant Diseas-." He is the "bug' man, and what he don't know abo i' hug", slugs and spuds isn't worth know ing. He isyoungandhasaPaderewski head of hair, but his brain seems to be full of bugs, and the soprophitic and parasitic fungi are his friends. The to mato blight, he says, hasn't been satis factorily diagnosed yet, but all the bug men iu ull the colleges ure trying to get the scent, and experiments are being ,.,.,!.. in find the cause ana uiseover a remedy. The blight is worse where moisture is greatest, though not con fined to irrrguted land, ana it is aiso worse on the side of the field from allien the wind blows. The effect is least where protected from wind. Pro fessor Law rence talks aoout nugs, wieir habits and means of annoying man-- kind in a way that proves uis mastery of his subject. .''..I An Interesting niseussion kkjk pmce as to the habits of certain tree Deeties; oi e man claiming the eggs never hatch on the shady side of a suaKe or uoaru placed on tiie south or soutnwest siue of a young tree. It was finally utciuea that eggs naicn in me snuuo u uupra itcd there, but aa they are laid on the -onnvside. there's where they hatch as a matter of fact; therefore use shakes to keep the larvae from the root or me trep. Professor E. K. Elliott gave an inter- . i.n 111 . II Tl.ft e-Ling laiK on -rorago riuuis. uc need of humus In oursoils makes cover crops important. Red clover, erimson clover, Big Stag Clover, nairy veicu aim spring vetch all have theiruses as cover crops, me nairy veicn was especiaiiji vivluuble except near wheat neius, where it is a Dest. Red clover is a moat valuable cover crop. Legumes bave great power to take nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into avail able plant food. At the Thursday evening session Professor Smith of Minnesota gave a lecture on "HomeMaklng." He main tiiins that a man who goes onto a piece of land with the sole or dominating idea of making money, Is far more apt to make a faiiure than he whose cen tral and controlling Idea U to make a home tor Ins wife and children, liees and flowers and pleasant walks ami grassy lawns are cheap and important tioin an einicai ana economical suinn polnt, and these in the mad scramble for dollars are often forgotten.

Kdltor Gla cier: As others write to you In regard to fruit culture and marketing ol the same, I would ask ou for a little spaee to give jou my ex perience iu regard to selling, i believe It's much belter lo ship your own product. In the first place, It leaches you to do business und you get quite wtll acquainted with the commission men in distant towns. As I re ceived a circular from A. Dillon A Co., of Scuttle, saying they could get me good prices for all the fruit I might shrp them, and as they were backed up by a reliable bunk, or rather, they would refer me to them as to their reliability und responsibility, alter read ing the circular 1 concluded -not to pay the Union or H, F. Davidson any more commis sions, that they were making too many dol lursoutof my hard labor. Now.the last ship ment of my peai a, fine large Bartletls, six boxes, today I received returns from the Fer- fuaon Mason Co., "Hold account of railroad lood Kivir, Or., fix boxes Harriett pears, tl.lifl; freight and commission, s-l.:KJ." leav ing a balance of 15 2-cent postage stamps, and hay at 818 per ton, hew much will that buy? When the fruit was shipped I felt proud that I could do business wilti business men entire ly Independent of H. F. Davidson and the others. Although am pleased to have formed the acquaintance of the coimnisalon men, they are so pleasant nnd obliging, if any one wisbes to ship to A. Dillon & Co., 1 can give them a letter of introduction. They will take all the fruit you may ship, to do business yourself and be independent. HUBERT RAND. Another "Open Letter." Hood River, Hept. IS, l'.HIil. ToC. G.RoberUi: As the wool buying season is about over, aud business Is a little dull, you look about you for something to do. ft occurs to you that theatfairsol our school district are In a de plorable condition. You proceed to give the school directors an ungentlemanly kick; rush Into print wllil a liraileor lault-Iilndlng and false statements. Pardon us tor being a little personal; we feel that you were somewhat that way yourself ,n your statements. We are thinking of appointing you finance agent lor district That was a grand stroke of financial policy. llow you can pile up figures; double our available scuool funds funds at one stroke of the peu. Wonderful! A regular J. P. Morgan finan cier. It's not necessary for us old-fashioned people to rise and explain; Mr. Roberts knows all about it. Uome over from Scotland no doubt with the avowed purpose of lifting this school out of the "slough of old-lasliioned, cheap and inetllclent education." Perhaps, as school directors.we over estimated our ability to handle the all'airs of the district, and should have nought the council and advice of U. U. Roberts oi Scotland. we nave a mint recollection ofa lengthy communication be ing addressed to the voters of district 6 from the wool producing section of Eastern Oregon, telling the "old-fashioned" people how to manage the allulrs of said district in general. 1'hat communication Is on the table. That our act are subject to criticism we don't deny, but we do claim that it should be done in a decent and gentlemanly way. In foim yourself as to facis, and confine your statements to the same. Your financial state ment Is false, misleading and deceptive. Your statement that we did not visit lite school while in session last term is also false aud needs no comment. We are charged with lurnlshlng "cheap and old-fashioned education." It us see: As to texubwiks, we have the latest, such as the law require. As to hours per day and days per mouth, we are in line, up to date. Our teach- nnmc jiiuiiK, ipt:ivit, cumuli.; nuu ui the latest fashion; satisfied with their salaries so far as we know, well pleased with their school work, and pros-cis are bright lor a successful term ot sclusil If chronic growlers will keep hands off. Our teachers live within the district; in fact, we are patronizing home industry. The whole trouble seems to hinge on I he amounts of salaries we are paying. As teachers' salaries are not fixed by law, we may have been derl leel In our duty In not calling on Mr. Roberts and have him arrange (hat mutter, ana gel a cotiectlou or new' fashioned ideas. Now, to be candid, we think Mr. Roberts contemplate running for school director ,and this bugle blast was a k,nd of first caniaign giin.a kind of feeler.to see how lie would take. He advocates good republican doctrine, I. e. high tariff and protection of the Infant Indus try. We vote lor Rob rts. C'OlTLE and CROCKETT. Resolution! of Condolence. Hall of Goodwill Lodge.
