APPLE UNION PLANS WORK WILL INVADE ENGLISH MARKETS:1" (really Kticiiiirnu'cd by l'ast Year's Itesnlts Annual Meptliia; Held Last Saturday. The h ii ti 11 ul meeting of the Hood Kiver Apple (irowers' union whh held Suturdiiy afternoon in Artisan hull, when the luinineK8 reportH of the innn nyer wet-o read and aeeepted, a new hoard of directum elected for the coming year, and adjournment taken until U o'clock, Saturday moruiiiK, April i when the maunder of the union will lie resent to annwer (jues ticui.H ami assist in a disensison of the hest methods of miu-ketiiiK this fall's crop of apples. The Biihject of securing a location on tho O.K. & N. liK'ht of way and tho erection of a stoiiie win chouse, will also he tak en up at the adjourned meting.

(i. t'hiirch und Cln is Dethnian, tho lat ter two he inn hi)ldovers,as is required hy the hy laws of the corporation. When it cmne to a selection of a hoard of directors, it looked for awhile us if none ot the old hoard would consent to reelect ion, nor any ot her members of the mi i i 'ii permit such honors to thrust upon them. The time and hard work a diiictor must derote to board meeting.- n aki s a ilirectorship a very strenuous position, to say the least. Hy a unanimous vote of the Apple Kiowct's' union, the thanks of the as sociation i. ere extended to Charles V. (ialhiwi.y, tlie younK man from Vamhili cennty, who til dy managed ami displayed the Hood Kiver apples at the, St, Louis fair last fall, and made it possible for Wasco coun ty to receive the only rand jiri.o for apples in the United States. The general llnaiiciid statement of the Apple (irowers' union as read at Saturday's meeting is as follows: l!eceiits. Amount of cash received, sCd, -177. ) ; amount of credits cash, Slii.OO; total amount, Cd,rd;i.(0. 1 Hsluirsemeiits. Paid to growers, i?4s,!l71.!t."i ; less paper returned, 14.

While a ipiorum of the stockhold ers was heinK drummed up, H. L.Siuith in a teii-mimito speech put forth the Ktiod oints in arsenate of lead as a spray for tho destruction of tho codlin moth. Alter tho transaction of ri ut i no business, A.l. Mason, retiring president of tho union, iu a well word ed talk, presented a number of recom mendations pertaining to the markot j iny of apples. I .Mr. Allison contrasted the old way I of pay ink' packers by the day, as was the 1 custom two years hko, and tho plan j adopted last season of paying hy j tho box, which proved in till cases far j more satisfactory. ! The one thiiiK Air. .Mason believes i would improve the elllciency of the puck inn crews is the use of foremen to I directly superintend the packing of apples. ! lo place the members of tho union on an ecpuil looting, there must be a uniform price for tlie same apple, but to insure this with justice to all grow ers there must ho absolute uniform- it y iu nindo and pack of that variety i of apple. "To iusnro satisfaction in the sale of fruit f. o. h., the inspection of the : flit it by tho buyer should be made at lhi.4 end of the line," insists Air. Alu- i son. "We can better afford the ex- I pom-it of hriiitfiiiK buyers here than to waste time wrauiliiiK with the buyer j v. no endeavors to make out that the fruit is not as renresented when it j reaches his coininission house." : Tim svkIiimi if MrriiiiLrinis pnnt.rMclH I j Willi the growers to deliver their up ; l ien for wile through tho union uh j found thiH year to work very tutUtifnc tory. lu this way, ilr.

"Lot it he wo 111 all matters pertaining to the work of the association," urged Mr. .Mason. Tho president advised an in crease in the number of tho direc tors, i!i elating if it was possible that he would iike to have every member i'l the association convene regularly for transaction of the business of tho union. "It will iniike you bet ter union men," insisted the retiring president. Heretofore tho union charges for shipping apples has been live cents a box, tint Mr. Mason believes this will havo lo be increased to six cents , if tho system of foremen is installed the coming season. "We wiii moie than make up for the cost iu union charges, " assured Mr. Mason, "in I lie high prices obtained for our fruit. It is better that we maintain tlie union even though it cost us twice six cents a box on each box of apples we ship, The union is the salvation of the apple business iu the valley. Even the enemies of the organization and our sharpest competitors admit this fact iu private. " .Mr. Mason helieves the union should j 1 t up a ware house on the track stat ing ttiat one of the hest locations along the lailroad has been assured the 11 11 inn. and that a one-story building IOxIiki feet, lire, water.and frost proof ci.tdd lo constructed for 2,000 or f"2.5l. "ihe union has gained much in its knowledge of markets within the past year, and during tho season just closed was enabled to know where all largo shipments of apples went that were handled by the union. We even believe it is possible to do business direct w ith tlie retailers in tho city of London, England, and are now in correspond ence with one of the leading dealers in that city, relative to shipments of S;itenbeigs and New towns next fall." Mr. Ma -ion read letters in part, that the union has received the past win ter from English dealers regarding the prices they paid for Hood Kiver ap- pies, wliieh had passed Uiniu'li sever al Imiidx after leuvhiK Oio union. In one of the letterx from the Eii lish dealer, it was snesteil that a lib eral margin was ImiiiK made by the jobliers alter the apples left the union.

Smith, the host known oichitnlint in the utato of OreKon, HtroiiKly recoiniiieiided the use of Kivenate of lead, Hd wprny in conihiittinn the tutukch of the eod liti moth. Arsenate of load has l een eperi mented with for four years, anil wherever lined, is regarded tho liest spray known. With three or four ap plications it is said to he more effect ive than other formulas iu eiht or ten applications. Hy tho use of t his spray, .Mr. Smith firmly helieves the turn i is of the valh.y will he Hived thoiit-'Hitda of dollars. .Many growers have sinnilled their intention of Hiv ing it a fair test the i'omiit siiuimer. The strong points in favor of arson ate of h ad as a spray for tlie condlin moth are: Kase in operation; remains Ioiik in suspension; there is nohtin in the mixture to olotf the pumps; it will not harm tender foliage, anil ad heres to the fruit which is sprayed. Arsenate of lead is a product of ar senate of soda and acitate of lead. Professor Stead mil u of the Missouri experment station oilers thu following formula: Arsenate of soda, 'lo.; Acit ate of lead, l'ioz ; water i0 gallons. The liowker Insecticide Co. of New York sends out a preparation of arse nate of lead in paste form known as dispareno, and the Merimae Chemical Co. of lSostou have a similar prepara tion known us Swift's arsenate of lead, lioth preparations have proved of eiiual etliciency and give satisfaction wherever used. Professor (!. I (iillette of the Col orado Argicultiiriil college strongly en dorses the use t f arsenate of lead, which ho states should he applied just after the hlossoms fall, a second time in one week or ten days. This is all tho spraying he does, hut other an thorities state that it third applica tion should he made iihout the mid dle of July, when the seeond hrood of moth is hatched. A fourth applica tion is made hy some orchardists. Professor (iillette says the- strength of the arsenate of lead varies from two to six pounds to hKI gallons of water, lie can see no advantage iu using more than four pounds to the hund red gallons. Fruit sprayed with this strength will yield less than 4 per cent of wormy apples with three ap plications of the mixture, says tho pro fessor. Mr. Smith read extracts from thy tes timonials of fruit, men who have used the arsenate of lead. One orchardist who formerl y sprayed live times and had 20 per cent of wormy apples, used arsenato of lead tw ice in the season and had less than two per cent of wormy apples. Fruit Men Form Society.

Stuart, who owns a hill acre farm on the road lu twcen this city and Mosier, states that himself and neighhors havo recently lost several hundred dollars worth of farming im plements and household goods, iu ad dition to having attempts made at the destruction of their residences hy the hands of unknow n parties. Mr. Htuart makes the announcement in another column of a rW reward, which lie will pay lor the arrest and conviction of the party or putties who are guilty. Mr. Stiiait is alii-ent part of the time iu Portland, and while gone a tew weeks ago, some one en ! tered his house, took out everything but tho cook stove and bedstead, and started a tire in tho center of the kitchen floor, with the intention of destroying the building. The same attempt was made against Peter Salt.inaii's house last week. Mr. Taigeson, another neighbor, has also sutfered loss of goods. Mr, Stu art has some very good reasons for placing suspicion on certain parties and will prosecute as soon as he can secure some n;oio evidence.
