II. E. Van UeniHn, who jtidcil the

the Kast lui4 n i K lit.
"I think Oregon fruit compureH
favorahly with that from any tsuctioti
of the country, " he said while wait
inn for his tram. "That of the Hood
Kiver district in especially good. The
Winter upplcH of that motion 1110 the

for their Huvi r, ki oping iimlitiej and

Hliowing at the expontio attendantu
from there were anions tho few men
who knew horticulture and agriculture
thoroughly.
"Another thing ahout the Mood
Itiver appk'H that impresHcM one it
the honest niHiiner in which they are
packed. The khiiio care iH taken with
them that would lie given to ho many
eggH; those In the bottom of tho box
are of the same nize and quality a
thiwo on top. Spraying and good cul
tivation have done much to put the
Hood Kiver and Kogue Kiver orchards
on a paying buHiit and keep them
there.
"In the Willamette Valley I have
not found condition nearly no good.
Not enough cure In taken in the cul
ture of the t:oon, which in many run
are allowed to fake caie of themtidven.
Above all things in fi uit-ralhing, at
tentiou Mhould bo given to the culti
vation of the trees. The Hoii xhoulci
be uultivated frequently in the Spring
and Hummer moutliH, and plowed, but
not deeply. What in wauled it) to
have a thin diiHt blanket over the
ground, which will retain the inoiH
turo for tho roolH of tho treon to ex
tract iKiurihlinient from.
"Too often, in tliu V iilametlo Val
ley, 1 have Dome acroBH oi cliardrt w here
weeds are growing proftiwily, and tak
ing the bent cunlition of the noil from
the treoH. Cultivation will keep these
down. The nitrogen and hiimiiH ol
the Hoil Hhould be renewed fre(iiently.
Kor this purpoHo, it in well to plow
the orchard deeply about the lliht ol
September, planting it in criniHon
clover or retch, both rich in liumtit
and uitrogi n. iieforo the lliat IjikIi
come out in tho Spring, thin Hhoulo
lio plowed under to nouriidi the
ground. Under no o.ircunixtane.eh
should the crop be mowed and lined
for hay. Where trees are closer than
ill) or 40 feet, Home should bo pulled
out by the roots.
"The Willamette Valley in not a
very good prune country, an there ii
too much rain in tho drying season.
It is better adapted to the production
of applet) and pears.
"The raising of nuts in Oregon
Bhould be encouraged. Thin is an
ideal country for their culture. Eng
lish walnuts will be especially pro
ductive. At Dundee, in Yamhill
County, I Haw an orchard belonging
to Thomas J'rinco, who has lin acris
of walnuts in cultivation. The trees
lire jiiHt gutting to the producing ago,
and before long lie will llml I he
money rolling in fattier than he
known what to do with.
"Oregon berries tiro the equal ol
any; the Logan berry iH especially
lino. The country is admiral, ly ad
apted to raising tttruwherrlos, rasp
berries, hlnekhorr ios and other small
fruitH."
notation In crop is not practiced
by Willamette Valley farmers. Instead
of ralHing wheat alone, which impov
erishes tho soil, he says cropH of clov
er Hhould be planted frequently. Some
of this should be plowed under. Much
stock Hhould also bo kept, from which
tho soil could bo fertilized.
Mr. Van Delimit is one of the most
dlHliiiL'iiiHhod horticultural experts in
the United SlaleH. His knowledge is
the result of practical experience ol
inaiiy years on a fruit farm. He held
the position of United Stales l'oinol
ogist for eight years, and taught ag
riculture and horticulture ill tho Kan

Origin of the Wertl Oregon.
The origin of the word Oregon Is
clouded in mystery. It was first uted
by Captain Jonathan Carver in a book
called "Three i ears' Travel 1 hrotigh
th Interior l'arts of North Amricu,
for more Than l ive Thousand Miles,
in tho Years 17(f 17W, " which was
published in London in i"x. It does
not appear from the book tint Carver
cainouuy furthei west than Minnoaotii,
where, he says, tho Indians told him
a great river called "Oregon, or the
Kiver of the West," rose near the
Mississippi and Mowed westwaid

cnti. Ill's is the o ily ri feni.eo to
ti e rivor in the I oot. ICu-ver was
a Connecticut jankee, who served as
a Holdier through the 1' reach and In
dian war, and afterwards, on his own
hook, explored niithcin Michigan,
Wisconsin and ;inni m !a He return
td to his home, vi.lel H bock and
endeavored to peisiiide the cdonial
HiithoritloH in -New Vork and New
England to pay the cost of its iibli
cation, or Bt least reimburse him for
his expoiiHes. Having failed on this
side, he went to Londi n to appeal to
the government there, lie man! ged to
get Ida book printed, but obti ined
nothing more, and died destitute in
London in 17HH.
Tho liauie Oiegiai did not Hppeut in
print again until William Cullen liiy
aut ptibliHliod his poem "Thanntopir, "
in 1H17. Ho had evidently read Car
ver's book, and his sensiliva ear was
llesatd with the pi.elic rliytlim of the
wonl "Oregon." 'J heodore W inthrop
(ueated the word "Tacomu" in his
"Canoe ami Saddle" in a silnilai
manner. So far as any one can as
certain, it was never written or spok

named Hull Jackson Keliv became in
fatuated with Oregon, and although
he never visited this country, he do
scribed it an a paradise and predict
ed for it a wouderlid inline. lit
wrote pamphlets and nowspap t artic
les, made speeches, delivered lectures
and addressed memorials in Congress
advocating a colonization of Cieon,
and Hiicceeded in exciting much in

whose curiosity was aroused by the
writings and speeches of Kelley wan
Nathaniel J. Weyth of Cambridge,
Mush., who dispatched a vessel loaded
with merchandise around the Horn,
anil started overland in 1. ,i2 to met t

river. T he boat never arrived, and
was probably li st at sea willi ali on

thou went back to Huston, lilted out
another voshcI, called the May Dacre,
which arrived safely at the mouth ol
the Willamette, where ho set up a
trading post and collected furs and
packed salmon. I luring his lirst
.journey ho was iicompaiiied by John
ISall, who taught the Hint hcIiooI in
Oregon, beginning November. 1H,'I'-.
Among Hull's pupils was Konald A.
McDoiial, who went to Japan in
IMH, succeeded in obtaining the
good will of tho ollicialri and Un
people, and establised the Hist Eng

Captain (iiay of I'o-ton, who sailed
a considerable distune - inland, ill I lie

name. I le never heard of the word
Oregon. Careful Investigation has
tailed to find that word in any of the
Indian languages, or any Indian who
ever hoard of it before Carver'H book
was printid. It is a question wlietliei
he invented :L or whether lie misun
derstood tie pronunciation of some

Attention has already been called
to t he line aii'ay of cups to be a.winl
ed for apple exhibits at the next an
nual meeting of the Oregon llorticul
tiiral Society to bo held In 1'oilland
In January. Hood Kiver has already
announced its Intent ion of capful ing
everyone of those cnpH. Wo often
see and hear the charge that the pen
pie of l'oiilaud seem to think Hood
Kiver 1h the only place in Oregon that
raiscH good apples. If the apple rais
ers of other poi lions ot the state do
not contest for the honors ut the
coming meeting, Hood Kiver's pies
tlge in I'orllaiiil and abroad as a
raiser of Hue apples will be more
llrmly established than ever. If you
want to convince people Hint Hood
Elver is not the only place in Oregon
that raises fancy apples it. is well to
remember that M issourlaiiri are num
erous in I his county.
A few enterprising fruit growers are
working hard lo make the coining
meeting of the State Horticultural
Society a success. The ell'oits of these
men should bo met with co-operation
in all pails of the state. It. is siguill
cant I hat the one locality which can
be depended upon to send u large del
ligation to Hie meetings of the Society
is Hood Kiver. The fruit growers of
this favored valley realize that the
successful fruit grower owes some
thing to his iiidiisfiy as well as to
himself, and that ho can promote the
interests of hoi h by attending meet
ings of hurl it it It 1 1 I'm 1 sncielies and
doing his share to make such meet
