HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1905 Horticultural Inspect inn In Oregon. (From mi address delivered by IIou. W. K. Newell at the Milwaukie OrauKe Fair, October 3 ), lUOj. ) You who, are interested iu such matters know that for the past teu or twelve years we Lave had iu Oregon a State lioard of Horticulture. This beard has beeu composed of practical fruit growers, who have tried to solve the various questions relating to the iudustry ; the be-t methods of culture, pruning, spraying, etc ; aud by means of a lii-enuial Keport they have given this knonli-dge to the public. These reports have come to be recognized all over the Northwest as standards of authority ou the subject. All nurser ies have been given careful inspection, and uone tut clean trees have been allowed to be sold ; aud, as far as the limited funds would permit, personal inspection of orchards has beeu given. Hut iu the last lew years pests have ur ltiplied amazingly, aud fungous diieises (detelOje, tee:niugly, iu a night. The terriU ry is so vast and the orchards are so numerous that it was impossible for the commissioners to gbt hi ouml and atteud to all the work necessary if our fruit industry is to be maiutuiued. So, last winter, the Legislature was asked to pass a liw providing for the appointment of county fruit inspectors, and under this law (T '.ckumas County was one of the first to petition for an inspect or. The county couit appoiutod Mr. James II. Keid, and a tow weeks lat er tho county court of Multnomah County also appointed him for that county, it is needless for uie to speak of the good work he has beeu doing iu stopping the sale of wormy aud scaly infested fruit in the markets. This iB a i-tep iu the right direction, and a movement that should have the support of every fruit grower, and, I should add, consumer also. For the consumer is boiug defrauded when he buys a box of wormy, scabby apples, even though lie may think he is get ting them cheap. When ouly clean, sound fruit is allowed ou sale, prices can be bi'tter maintained ; the con sumer will get full value for his mon ey and tho demand will be increased. This is tilt) only rational way to fight tho fruit pest queftion. You may try to compel a man to spray his trees, but if he can still sell the fruit wheth er he sprays or not, ho is not very likely to care much, aud if he spray s at all will do it ouly half heartedly. You can luud a horse to water, but you can't make him drink; so you may compel a man to spray occasion ally but you can't make him have clean fruit, unless it is to his direct interest. If he knows he can't sell it unless it is clean he is very likely to clean up. If a mini lias trees infest ed with pests that are an injury to his neighbors, and he refuses to abate the n Uance, the inspector, under the new law, lius the power to have the trees destroyed by due process. There is no desire to work a hardship on anyone, hence tho diseaseil fruit this year is allowed to be sold to the can nery and viurgfir factory, as it was thought right aud proper to give full notice that none might plead iguo ranee. The lines will be closer drawn next season, autl the pig or sheep will bo the only market for such fruit. The services of the county inspect or aud the district commissioner are at the disposal of any fruit grower who wants any information or in struction as to the care of his trees, spraying, etc , aud it is urged that everyone will help in building up once more a reputation for tine fruit iu the Willamette valley. Kight here iu MilwHiikie was at one time the most famous orchards ou tho Pacific Coast, ami tome of the most niagni lioent apples that ever grew wore prodc.ed here. Yuu h ar it said ou every hand: "Oh yes, Hue apples used to grow here, Lut they won't do it any more." Hut 1 believe thoyjjwill grow now just as tine as they ever did. Of course, it requires more care aud work, I. ut, it is work that will be well paid. Insect pests and fungous dis eases have increased so rapidly that it, is ot course absolutely useless for anyone to attempt growing tree fruits without preparing to do thorough spraying, not only once a year, but every time it is needed. I am not going to bore you with any formulae for spraying tonight, Lut it has beeu proven beyond question that a tree properly pruned, cultivated aud sprayed will produce just as many line apples right here iu Clackamas County as any tree ever did any where, and furthermore, these apples being free from scab, mildew, bitter rot and worm holes, will keep just as long and hnvo just as tine a lluvor as they hit did. Two years ago, iu a test, Jonathan and Northern Spy apples lrom Scap pooso were sent to Hood Kiver aud placed iu an apple storage house to gether with a great variety ot apples grown there, and proved to be better keepers than tho tame varieties there and among the very best of any va liety. Last fall some 121HI boxes of apples were placed in cold storage, for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, ami the Willamette Valley ones were among the bett keepers. There is a vast M.iirkct opening up across the Tacilic lur our fruit, not a high-priced market perhaps, but our medium grades will go there, while our strictly fancy ones can go to the ivistein states and F.urope. I'roliiahlc truit Season In Idaho. Tho last shipment of prunes to the eastern market for the season of 1IW.) was made Monday, tho product of southwestern Idaho approximating 3UU cars, and at prices considerably above the average. The commission houses aud larger growers are now packing pears and apples for shipment. This will continue toi two or three weeks. About twenty cars of pears aud peaches hae been shipped, itti per haps teu rars of Winter Nellis pears jet to l,o loaded, sujs the lioiss News. The Siusel Commission Company is loading lis liist cai of apples today. 11 consist.- ut Jonathans, Human lie.ui.ty, aud tirinuv' Colden, iu about equal part.-, and all of a superior qual u, which are expected to bring the top ut the inaiket. The prediction la n.adethat fully J II 0 cars of apples will be sent east, besides a larger amount t.jin ever will go into storage lor hon.e consumption. vV bile tho early report that the crop would show a shortage has uot beeu ventitd by the result of the shipments, the i.t-.v u'ichards coming into bearing making up tor tho apparent damage caused by unseasonable weather last spring, the indications are that with a.ei .o weather uext spriug the crop of i.ioii will lie a record breaker. As a rule the quality of fruit of all kinds has beeu excellent. Some orch ard ists have neglected spraying at freely as they should, and as a conse quence hate produced scaly fruit, which has beeu reject) il by the buy ers, and the marketing of the crop prohibited Ibis will have the effect of causing tho growers to be more carelul iu the future, aud the reputa tion of Idaho trull placed in the trout rank. , The season generally has been the most proUtable ever enjoyed by Idaho nrchaidists. the total amount being received approximately upwards of $500,000. Fears are especially high in the eastern market, one oar (hip ped from Medford, Or., foiling for &),42 or nearly 10 cents for each pear in the car. This morning C. J. Siueel who made an exhibit of prunes railed to the Boise valley at the St. Louis ex position, received notice that be bad been awarded the silver medal for the prune display made in competition with the world. He has plaoed the diploma on exhibition In bis olBoe, aud expects to receive the medal in a few days. Although the exhibit was made at au expense of more tban WOO, the advertisement it bas given Idabo fruit has fully repaid the cost. Underwood The Logical Depot Site. Amos Underwood is firmly convinc ed that Underwood will be tbe main depot of the Northern Paoiflo when the railroad is completed down the north bank of the Columbia. He fig ures it all out this way : "Stevenson will of course be a depot. Carson will be another and Drano at the mouth of tbe Little White Salmon will be a whistling sta tion. The next stop, about seven miles this side of Drano, will be Un derwood. You can't get around that. Tbe trad i from tbe interior will ootne down tbe new grade from Trout Lake and thus our town is tbe logical location for tbe main depot opposite flood Kiver. "The White Salmon dock is bat a few miles distant. The traius would bardly be started before tbey bad to stop there, and as Jim Hill intends to make fast time both going and com ing, his train will bardly make regu lar stops at that point. "This means that the next depot east of Underwood will be at Bingen. This would give tbe people of White Salmon town a better grade anyway, than the one to the boat landing. From Bingen the trains will run di rect to Lyle. There will then be a station opposite The Dalles and at Columbus. "Mark my predictions and see if I havn't got it figured out about right." A Slight Mistake. As an instance where a bad cold caused a startling conversation there is a joke being told here at tbe ex pense of a modest young newspaper man in a neighboring town, whioh is so good it ought to be true, says tbe Bristol News. The young man in question it appears was recently invit ed to a party at a residence where the home bad recently been blessed witb an addition to the family. Accom panied by his best girl he met bis kind hostess at the door aud after the cus tomary salutations, asked after tbe welfare of the baby. The lady was suffering from a severe cold wbicb made her slightly deaf, and she mis takenly supposed that the young man was inquiring about her cold. She re piled that though she usually bad one every winter this was tbe worst she had ever bad; it bad kept ber awake at night a great deal at first aud confined ber to her bed. Tben noticing that the scribe was becoming pale and nervous, she said she could see by his looks that he was going to have one like hers aud asked him if he wished to lie down. The paper came out as usual the uext week, but the editor bas given up inquiring about babies. Iu Memory of Miss Ada Crockett. Thy mission here is ended, Thy Saviour called thee borne. Witb outstretched bauds He welcomes thee To His bright and happy throne. He called thee iu life's morning, A lily pure and fair, To decorate the heavenly throne, And bloom forever there. Thy loved ones dear will mourn for thee And miss thy presence here; But God will be their comforter Aud wipe away their tears. She was too pure for earth So heaven claimed its own; She left her loved ones here To mourn and weep alone. She's standiug 1 1 tbe golden gate Witb arms extended wide; Waiting to meet her loved ones Wheu they reach tb 3 other side. Oh Ada, dear, from thy brigbt bome Of happiness and bliss, Ask thy Saviour dear to pity them. And cheer their louliuess. Now farewell, beloved Ada, Though on earth we meet no more, Wo hope to meet you, darling, On the bright eternal shore. A Friend, MAKIE LOCKMAN. Teachers' Institute at OdelL.
