ADVISES PLANTING
PEARS AND CHERRIES
Tlio following letter to K. II. Khep
iinl from Henry I'. Williams, Ozark,
Ark., (lifers vnliml'lo miL'k'cst imiH to
Hood liiver fruit ni ower.s interest';!) ia
peur culture:
You iiiiiiiru iibout pears. 1 have
studied tliem n L'cod deal, and they
will bear studying a khiI deal more.
Tlie market question in tlie iiminipies
tion, wliat tlie market likes best. Lute
papers tell us of tlie ilecline of tlie
peur liiisiness in California, ami 1
think there in a nood rhiince for Hood
liiver to take its place, in good natiri
faetory fru t.
A leading dealer in .New York told
mo they rained no Mich fruit hh was
rained in California and the i'acillc
Count, in the Kastoiu Slates. The
flavor niitfht he heller, hut tlio maik
et qualities were not there, of size or
appearance, lie has Hold a car of flue
Winter Nellis for .?). a hox in New
York, that came from California,
when nothing in the Kasteni States
would hriiiK over 1.110 u bushel.
Those from California were bright
yellow or line color and size, fotii
tier, vnd one glance sold the lot.
Nothing iu the Kast could do this, so
lie saiil we need not fear anything in
the Kant.
Wheu it comes to varieties of penis
he told mo uothiiiK outsold the Hurl
iott. As it comes iu just as there it
a HliortaKO iu the Kasteni markts, the
prico will be satisfactory tor anj
Hartletts that Hood liiver can furnish,
lint 1 can not estimate on transporta
tion. II they will cany, the price is
there for thorn the very best f tin
season. I'ears raiseil under IrriKutio i
are not ood keepers, norKood llavor.
Hut on deep soil iu Hood Kiver, not
too wet, not toodiy, pears will grow
there ood enoiiKli to carry to any
market, if the distance is not t
Krone, and surely oiiKlit to carry m
well or as (puck as lroiu California.
The varieties of pours you mention,
1 have inquired into a ooil deal. The
lietirre Hose Is a gain of a pear for any
purpose. As far us quality Is con
earned everything Is in its favor, iu
desirability for market. Its main
trouble is Unit it needs to be double
worked. That means an intermediate
stock, to ho worked upon. 1 do not
know if the Oregon nurserymen o
to this trouble, hut no good limit
cultiirist in the Mart willrow it with
out it is so winked and on satisfactory
stocks. Otherwise there is no serious
objection to the fiuit. It can he
grown largo enough ami has good col
or and the best of flavor and Is good
all around in all tlie markets. Veij
much among pears like ioldeu Crimes
among appies. The li urre do Cornice
is very tardy iu coming into hearing
but bears well Inter, After it reaches
the seventh year it is a good hearer,
but before that it is not u good hear
er. Its market values other ways is
extra. 1 do not think it is a heavy
bearer any where hut is good gener
ally. The lleurre de Anjoii is a model
pear in many nperls; a good shipper
and good seller, not quite as high in
standard value or demand as some
others, but is good and reliable. The
treo is model every way, the only
fault is that the pear growing large
and with many on tlio tree there will
be a danger of falling oil', If 'here is
uny motion of tlio wind to stir them
or move the trees any. This peur is
quite popular in New York markets.
It ripens at a lime when it sells well.
The tree growth tends mom to spuiV
and less to excessive wood than any
variety 1 know. .Still perhaps too
many of this vaiinty might ho raiseil
for the market. I It it iu general good
large pears of good llavor and purlic
ularly good color, will ho sure to llud
a good market.
The Winter N lis grow well enough
In Hood Kivor. The main point nec
essary to obtain fancy price is size,
good four tier and bright golden col
or. No one need expect fancy price
unless he will get the lour tier size,
mid the bright gohleii color. Then
the market is ready.
The Oregon pears have this dllllciil
ty to meet-tlio lack of bright color.
It will bo an obstacle wherever there
is very damp atmosphere. 1 read of
an ueoouut of some mitrvclnus returns
for pears iu an orchard near Koise.
The secret is due to the color. The
orchard brought over i-tpMO per acre.
The climate of Hood liiver should
grow any pear successfully, and I do
not seo any serious obstacle. The
summer climate is quite moderate ami
I do not thluK it materially dillers
from that of 1'iance, where the best
pears are grown.
1 do not think we need to fear the
blight. As to heui ing qualities, we
need not expect them to hear nine''
under the llllh or sixth year, hut alt
er that they should do well. 'The
Cornice will lien year or two later.
The Hi iso will lie nearly as good as
the liartlett iu hearing. It is a strag
gling grower and this is lis only oh
jeetion. The limine Chiirgeau is a very
showy pear anil sells well In t he mark
et, but it is not as piod as the Unit
lett, yet comes iu when the nun lot is
bare, later than the liartlett, mi it.
sells line anyhow. 11 is a line peur for
market.
The greatest dilllcully with the
cherry business and carlot shipping,
is the dill'ereiit times of ripening ot
varieties iu t lie valley. Hardly any
two parts of the valley ripen together
just right to ma'ie up cm lots ea-iy. If
the people go into it heavy this may
he made suitable, but. I do not know
how nil can he got together, ecept liy
cohl storage, and holding until car
lots are accumulated, t lion I would
say t he cherry qno-.(ion will ho sue
coHsful. It is a prime country for
raising the n. Hut I believe the inoM
success is in tlie two early varieties,
the liiiynl Anno and the King. Solid
carlots of t he King will outsell any
other sort that can be crown. The
fize of the liing is a wonder to the
Kasteni people, and I le y will boy it
for show everywhere. The Knv.d
Anne spoils in handling and t he t rude
prefers to have one darker. The pom
old Ulack l.'epuhlieau with ils lent her
skin, is t he line.-t variety to Kasteni '
people of all t hat i- .-out t here. Si ill
I do not reeoitiieeiid it to growers be
cause 1 think theio me I oiler, Put not
enough of them. Ilood liiver has a
good chance to make hers. II famous
with growing lancy fiui'. ami, with
Hood transportation, you will nut need
to hunt up market-, the markets will
limit up the grower and lake every
thing, if of liet quality.
It takes a long pur-e to held out in
Hood liiver. but it is vv.mli waiting
lor by any one who i in do -o.
.lune is the proper ni.mlh lor Hood
liiver to do t lie shipping e! her cher

Then Hood liiver fruit, will have an

shippers will need to take lessons
liud observations of the dilllcullies of

in suttlciently good order. Tlie iru.t

The cherries arrive more or h .-s rot

prico. This can not be obviated any
other why than by tirst cooi ng off in
some temporary stoiai. e, h-lore put

Uny Woodwoi III ami .Marsh Iseiihcrg
run a lauakahoo on some of then
young associates which caused amuse
ment for tlie Kchnonl neigliohrs dur
ing the balance of the week, ami even
some of the victims of tho ruse have
mi occasional smile over it yet,
liny mid iMurs'i had been laying
their plans for a week previous to
have a little fun. So on the evening
mentioned ehueu yoiin fellows, rang
ing iu ages from sixteen to twenty-live
years joiued Marsh in u plan to quiet
ly slip around the house on the old
Hiittou furin, where (iuy keeps bach

being tirst fully prepared lor some
grand sport by -Marsh giving them
assurance that tiny was a great coward
and picturing a laughable scene of Ids
rapid exit from the little valley, m v iu
to return to occupy the hous alone
igain.
They stole down, and to make it
exceedingly frightful for young
Woodworth. they all crept into an out
collar, and began scratching on tlie
walls, ami making calls like wild cats.
Marsh suggested that he would ciawl
out ami get closer to the house so
that the attack would be more Uneat
en ing, but he only reached the open
ing, when (iuy, whose nerves were no
doubt strengthened by his knowledge
of the nrrangenieiits, begun yelling ai.
them, accusing them of theft, and
accompanieil ins I Meals with llrnig
his revolver. Marsh dropped on the
door step pierced with sinotlu red
laughter and uunoiii.ccd lo his accom
plices that lie was wounded, I sup
pose he roferiod to his pr de.
"Yes, ami I will lliiish you," yelled
(!uy, as he Hied again. Then he liuu
ed his attention to those present in
the cellar, with no way of escape ex
cept through the door, past tlio in
I u i i at i)i I protector of his property,
and he armed with the deadly weapon
with which he had already pul their
companion out of Commission. When
the hoys in the cellar refused to come
out being sustained ill their obstinacy
by their knowledge of (luy's gun, (iuy
said: "1 uni prepared. 1 will bring
you out or make a new exit for you
by blowing the top oil' the cave with
this bomb," ami as he said this he
threw the I. rgest lire cracker he could

scrambling and running us was done
there, has never been witnessed in
this country before. They trampled
over their fallen comrade on the door
