RUIT GROWERS FORM SOCIETY LARGEST MEMBERSHIP IN STATE tin? Develops Ureat luterest While (irowers Discuss Fruit Culture and Valuable Papers are Read. The meeting of fruit growm-s held here Saturday for the purpose of or ganizing a local horticultural society and also for the purpose of discussing tbe different phases or tbe fruit cul ture, was well attended and much of valuable interest learned by those who were there, fruit growers from all over tbe valley ana a number irom Moaler were at the meeting, and it seemed that after tbe numerous topics bearlnu- on the subiect bad been dis cussed that there was not much left to tell about fruit raising. K Li Smith was chairman or the meeting and conducted tbe procedure Of It with as much celerity as possi- ble. He annunoed the tonics prompt- rendered valuable suggestions and saw that everybody participated who would help to make the meeting suc cessful aud profitable. Tbe new org'nizatlon starts with tbe largest membership of any similar one lu tbe state, hnviugover KK) mem bers. A constitution aud by-laws were adopted and five directors elect ed who will select a president, secre tary aud president. The directors are: U. 11. Hears, f.. 11. aneparu, j. Sprout, J.

He said that he bad planted 1,300 cherry trees wheu be come to the valley a number of years ago, but that he had gradually lost tbe in through, disease until mere were only about 500 left. The trees that ha had rjlauted were the Royal Ann, Bins and Liambert. tie louna ouerriea fairly protdable, but did not couslder them nearly as good a proposition as an orchard ot Newtowns buq Dpii.en- berus. 14 ad received from DO to 92.10 for 10 Douod box of cherries and bad found that Hood River oherrles could be shipped as far away as Kuglaud and arrive in good condition. 1 Had also shipped cherries to Mexloo, re nal villi? cood tirlces for tbeni, Hii trees were 11 years old. but bad loit nna hn f nf them from etimosis. 11 h Davidson in bis talk on cold storage said that it was bis judgmeut that fruit should be plaoed iu cold storage as soou after it whb picked 11a nnaai iln iii order to outain tne utwi raanlta.

This is a auchtion inai has received a great deal of attention from growers and the following advlci will no doubt belp many who ur doubt: Tha few thoughts tl.at I nm about to present to ji u, are toe result, 01 observations njatle di ling tne two years that 1 have beeu couuected with the marketing of apples iu the Hood Hirer Apple Urowers' Union. A fruit grower plauts apple trees in order that be may derive a profit from do ing so. Profit being his object, ho will naturally want to plant the varie ties that will make him the best re tnrna from a certain number of acres. There is no use wasting time iu going over past history to rind out what varieties those are as it has been proven beyond any doubt that there is no place iu tbe world where Yellow Newtowns and Spitzeu bergs, the two higbeHt priced apples ou the maiket, grow to such a stale of perfection as in tbe famous lioou niver mhoj. As some of the growers, eHpeciuuy lawoomers. are uncertain wuut, pro portion ot eucb of those two varieties to plant, I wish to say that according to the wants of the markets tnat we r annnlvinir now. and tne niaraeia that iBA have been uradually develop Inn for our rapildy Increasing appio .nil) it la mv lltllirUMIIUU, Hi" ... i ..... I.... !,... i. . , wnnlrl he ailv sauie 10 t.iaiii bi i""" twn.thiria bellow Newtowns to one thil Knit'etilmrus. That advice may uaiii ar.raiiun to vou when we have liAAn ffAttinii more mouey for Spit zen bergs than we have for Newtowns, hnt th. fant nf the matter is that an acre of Newtowns at 1.2.00 per box will bring you more mouey than an ni M,,it7onheris at t'2 50 per box on account of th3 color question and al.n from the fact that tbe Spltzen- hAea traAsi hear a (rood crop only every other year while the Newtown tree bear well every year. But the mottt Important reason is, that we have have England, Germany aud France as customers for our Newtowns, wbile the rich American is the only one as far as we can ascertain that is williug to pay us big prices for our highly colored large Spitzenbeigs. In spite of the good prospects for the above mentioned two varieties, tbe question does arise uow and thou, what is the next best variety to plant? The Baldwin which Is oua of tbe maiu commercial apples of the east, does uot seem to be very desirable for Hood River valley; It is not a good keeper with us, aud tbe trouble we have had iu the past marketing them convinces us that it is a variety that we should plaut very sparingly. The M. B. Twig is tmother variety that seems to be bound to make us trouble; they apparently are as sonud as a dollar, but closer inspection 111 show peculiar dry brown spots under the skin, which seems to be a common thiug with thia variety. We also notice that tbe larger M. B. Twig showed a good deal of water core this seasou, therefore 1 say dou't plant It. Our old friend the Ben Davis is quite a favorite in most all apple sections, and the price realized for it year in aud year out, consideriug the good bearing quality and the healthiness of tbe tree, is not tbe worst apple on earth to plaut. Thu Orient la consuming more aud more American apples every year, but whether or uot Hood Ktver is will lug to compete with the always cheap er fruit of tbe fruit raising sections west and north of us, is a matter to be considered. We shipped one car load of our large Ben Daivs to Chins this spbhou at an advuutse of 50 cents per box over Buns shipped from other sections to that market, aud nocoid ing. to au article that 1 saw in the Oregouian some time ago, It seems that even a Chlnamuu can tell a Hood Kiver Ben Duvia when he claps his almond eyes ou 11, aud if he should be williuu iu the future to pay us wbat our fruit, is worm iu comparison to the other fruit shipped to those markets now, tbe Beu Davis apple may lie considered a fair mouey matter. Missouri. Kansas and other suction raise a belter Ben Davis than we uu, for us to uguro ou the ha. tern nmrketa would be useless. The Jonathan has brought good- yes, fancy prices in tjniciigo, auu par ticularly in New York the past sea son, but tnat was not, tor me aiuu oi Jonathans that we can produce lu Hood Kiver valley. That was lor ghly oolored, firm, good sized aud well keeping fruit, it is generally claimed aud admitted by some that Colorado oau produce a better Jonathan than we can. 1 understand the hot dry days iu Colorado will grow better oolored aud better keeping Jon athans than we can in Hood Kiver, and for Hood Kiveritea to play second fiddle, siinoly doesn't go down; so 1 sa; ,y, don t plant mem. The Ked Cheek la a very good apple and baa always brought a fair prioe, but the tree does not seem to lie 01 very long life, and tbe fruit is not particularly desire, fr the high priced markets. 1 think 1 have dwelt long enough ou the varieties, that for some reason or other it might perhaps be advisable not to plant, so let us see what we might plaut: Xbe Arkansas lilacs nas beeu tried lung enough in this valley to convince us that it attains perfect oolor, is an excellent keeper, a heal thy tree, a good nearer auo nas brought good prices for years, this year selling for 2.05 per box f. 0. b.

We have tried sample ship ments thia season to dltlerent mar kets, aud wbile we as yet have not heard very definitely lust what the opinion of the trade Is of this variety 1 1, a mine, thev netted back is an iu ,iioutinn that it will l)e a winner.

The Winter llanaus is nolle a favorite with some of out growers, but whou you consider that Mia f irtlev is eon ally as good In even respeot and has in its favor the fact that it is a much juicier apple, it is advisable to investigate thoroughly before setting out many trees of the Winter Banana variety. The Delicious is a good looking anu very fine flavored apple, but as long as we dou't know what it will do cotu mormullv. and whether the tree is vigorous aud healthy grower or not, or whether it is a good bearer or not, it. ij hunllv advlaable to plant It, uui every grower ought to have at least a truoa for his own use.

If you l,aa for instance.

The troubles between grower auu shipper has in nearly every lnstuuce come over a few boxes of some variety that is uot worth a whoop. In market- in. our Ktiitzeubergs we nave euougu of them uow so that if the growers ot Hood Kiver valley would pull together they could allord to statiou one uiau iu one of the Eastern cities aud let him take care of the diuerem snip ments as they erne in. When Hood i;ior cun do that then we wont have to worry any more about cars of our ha fruit lieina refused at the other nrl fur some lault that does not exist l hat. of course, will not be necessary as long as wo are able to sell our fruit t,,r uLui it la worth here aud have it Inspected andjaocepted right here. (UonUnued on tut H) FlGURli FOR NEW COUNTY SHOW DECREASE IN THE TAX LEVY County Could le AdmtiiMered More F.contmiii ally Than Present One Ktitltlid 10 Share of Wasco County Buildings. The great interest iu the movement for a division of Wasco county and the creation of a new county to be called Curcade county is becoming more marked each day. We are in re ceipt of communications from various districts aud parts of the proposed new county atklng many questions and seeking for information. Some want to know where the boundary line will be placed, others what will be tbe bent way to bring tbe desired result about, bnt tbe more intelligent and practicable waut figures as to the pro posed cost to the taxpayers ot tbe new county. In reply to the flist query we will state that tbe proposed line would be botweeu Mosier and The Dalles. As to tne second, we thought everybody kuew that it will require an act of the legislature. There are many newcom ers in the valley, however, who have only beeu here a year cr two, and tbe lutter is given for their information. As for those who want figures, we print below a tablo of statistics for their information that will answer the queHtiou quite fully.

There ii one Item of resource, bowevei, that ia not mentioned lu this table, aud yet which Is well worth consideration. When the l retent lax levy oi vt aiscu county Is all paid iu the connty will be out of dtilit. lue law provides tuai, where a new county is created and thia condition exit-ts it is entitled to its pro rata share of the assessed valu ation of the county buildings, fig uring the valuation of these buildings nt '20,000, it can be very easily seen that our share would be about 85,000. This is no iuconaiderabl sum and would go a very long wuy toward es tablishing buildings tor tbe new county. Another startling argument in tne way of figures for county division la the almoht phenomenal Increase In the valuation of property in the proposed new county as compared to the rest of Wasco county. It is as follows: Uttln In Wasco county, IIHII to llKI'i Jl,.HSl,73i (lain Iii Cascade county ItitM) Ui Hs 5M.2&i-or 61 per ct (lain In Imlance or Co... IWI.WIO-or 21 per ct With this enormous lucreuee iu the valuutiou during the past year, it is not overebtiniating, vte think, to say that It is very likely to reach 11,000,. 000 or perhaps more during the com ing yea". With a tax levy lowei tne first year of the f irth or tbe new county tlian it is at preseut under the Bdinliiistratiou or Wasco county, ana the enormous increase taking place In the valuatiou of the territoiy compris ing Cascade couuty, most any school boy can seowhat a great benefit would be derived from the change. There Is ueither intention or need tor incurring a heavy expense of any kind iu tho establishment of the new county. Its resources are fully ade quate to its needs, lu addition to tho fact that it has become, we may say, both a necessity and a convenleuoe for the most economioil transaction of business lu this end of the preseut county.
