DUTIES OF THE
FRUIT INSPECTOR
MUST HAVE SUPPORT IN THE DISTRICT
An Able Taper Hoail ill tlio llortinil
turnl Moot hi if at Salem hy
E. C. AriiiHtrtmif .
In oneniuu this object for discus
slon, 1 will not attiMiii't to read much
of a paper, but glmply HtuiCL-eh-t u tew
thotiglits thnt may lend to n tree dis-
ctiHHlon or the subject, so tliut. titnn
ers, fruitgrowers aud inspector may
bave a better aud more uiiituitl un
derstanding, thut we miiy better work
together for the benolit of each other
and tbe good ot the community and
state.
No inspector can eland alone in
this work. If he is successful in any
degree be must have the moral sup
port and cooperatiou of those iu the
community who are interested in the
work. It in V lit be well, and X stit
pose it will lie expected, that 1 ipiutc
some extracts from the horticultural
law tbat refers to the duties of the
county inspector.
Tbe last session of the legislature
passed a law from which 1 will quote
at few items :
"Seo. 1. Thut upon a petition of
not less than twenty-live residents
aud fruitgrowers of any county in
this state, the county court of said
county shall appoint a county in
spector, whose duty it shall bo to in
spect tbe apple and otiier fruit or
chards of said county and en' nice the
laws now iu force and that iiiuy lie
hereafter iu force iu the state applica
ble to the fruit industry aud to the
growing, bantling and selling of fruit,
fruit trees aud otiier nursery stock.
Sec. 2. the county inspecttu
shall perform bis duties under the
general supervision of the stale dis
trict commissioner, to whom lie shall
make repot is in the manner pre
scribed by the .State Hoard of Horti
culture.
Sec. 7. It shall be the duly of the
several members of the board mid oi
the secretary or the county inspectors
under their director, wln-ncter they
shall deem it uecessary, to cuuse an
inspection to be made of any plants,
vegetables, vines, or tiny fruit pack
ing bouse, store room, sales room, or
any other any place within their dis
trict, aud it found infested with any
pests, diseases or fungus growth, in
jurious to fruits, plants, vegetables,
trees or vines, or their eggs or lui un
liable to spread to other places or lo
calities, ot of such nature to be a
publio danger, they shall until .v the
owner or owners or persons iu charge
of, or in possession of such art icles,
things or places, thut the same are so
infested, aud shall require said per
sons to retlioate or destroy said in-
seots or pests, etc., within a certain
time to be specified iu said notice."
U might be into osting to quote a
few more extracts lrotn the law that
relates more to the grower:
Section one of a law entitled an act
to protect the fruit and hop industry
of Oregon :
"It shall hereafter be unlawful for
any persou, firm or corporation, own
ing or operating any nursery, fruit
orchard of any kind, hop yard, itowei
garden, or ornamental trees to throw
any cuttings or primings, from
any fruit trees, nursery stock, orna
mental trees or hop vines, into any
publio road, highway, lane, Held, or
any enclosure, or into any water
course of any kind ; hut shall destroy
such cuttings or primings by lire,
within thirty days from the Mine such
cutting or primings are made.
"Hec. 2. It shall hereafter be the
duty of any rerson, llrni or corpora
tion owning or operating any snob
nursery, fruit orchard, Imp yurd,
flower garden, or ornamental trees,
and know such to lie infected, with
any kind of insects, pests, or disease,
to Immediately spray or destroy me
same iu such manner as I ho fruit
commissioner of bis district may di
rect."
"Bee. b. It shall he unlawful for
any person, iirui or corportiou, to im
port or sell any lulestetl or diseased
fruit of any kind iu the state of Ore
gon." There is another section requiring
met chants selling spray niaterii.l to
guarantee its quality and per cent of
purity. Another prohibiting any per
son or firm from packing to ship any
diseased plants, fruits, or vegetables.
Then section 7 says :
"Any persou, llrm or corporation
violating any of the provisions of this
act, shall be deemed guilty of a iniu
deamor, and upon conviction thereof,
shall lie punished by' a Hue ot not
less than twenty-five dollars nor more
than one hundred. "
Possibly this is enough of the law.
It will be seen by these extracts thut
tbe inspector is winking under the
general aupervison of the district com
missioner. Ill at It Is his duty to in
spect tbe orchards, nicking houses and
store rooms, to guard the markets
etc, ' or, in other words, to enforce
the law as it uow stands or may iu
tbe future be enacted.; This is the
legal side of tbe subject, that any one
may learn if be wants to, or may
learn by actual experience if hu is too
negligent or stubborn to try.
but there ate other duties of the in
spect oi, to which I wish to refer to
tbat are not written in the law. lu
my experience as inspector 1 find
many people who do not know what
to do in order to properly clean up
and care for their orchards. In some
communities where fruit growing is
not carried on except for family use I
find tbere is no one who knows any
thing about spray ing or caring for
their treet, This does not mean that
these communities are not intelleiit.
but it doeal mean that iu the past this
bae been out of their line ot business.
In years past fruits of all kinds hate
grown to perfect iou with but little
care an1 attention. This lias created
a babit of carelessness ami neglect,,
tbs result of which is n.anitest, en
pecialiy through the Willamette vtl
ejr-
Hut of late years we have scale,
aphis, oodliu uiotb, caterpillars and
fungous . disease too numerous to
mention.
Ibese changed conditions have
made it necessary to employ dillerent
methods ot action, 'ihtsu farmers
who la tbe past bave bad fruit abund
antly without elfort or expense must
now take up the spray pump, tlio
pruning saw and tbe cultivator or go
without fruit.
lint they don't know how. The in
spector must teach them how to
spray, what to spray with, how to
prepare it, aud when aud how to use
it.
I'e must also give suggestions iu re
gard to proper pinning and cultivat
ing.
Farmers aie not only willing but
anxious to learu those things.
Autl the inspector will tlnd that
they will gouerally co-operate with
him in his work if be will go to tiieui
with a disposition to help lather thai
to doiniueer. Occasionally ve will
ti nd a man who is too stubborn ami
contrary to do what is light. Such a
man has to be handled with the iron
hand of the law. liut I am thankful
to say that the Oiegou farmers are so
intelligent, honorable aud fair minded
that we seldom find one of this class.
All conceivable kinds of questions
are asked au Inspector. Home of
them are very foolish, ot course, but
he is supposed to know. And it is
his duty to lie as well informed as
possible on all branches of horticul
ture work, and answer them as intel
ligently as possible. It is his duty to

When A reports that ll lias an or
chard that is infested with all imag
inable kinds of insects and diseases
(although be may have a worst one
himself) the inst ector must take the
responsibility himself and tell both
patties thut it is his duty to visit till
the orchards, whether they are com
plained of or not and tlnd out their
true condition and act ou his own
judgment.
It is his duty to work in the inter

lu my experience 1 have had much
satisfcatiou iu helping to get the
proper spray material of the dillerent
kinds at leasotmlile prices. In this
and any other ways if the inspector
is constantly studying the needs ol
the grower aud tryiug to be helpful,
lie can save to the farmers aud fruit
growers of his county more money
than it takes to pay his salary.

with grocerymeii and druggists, who
handle spray material and tell them
what the fruit groweis will need at
dillerent times in tbe year, and get
heir co-operation iu the matter oi
furnishing spray materials of the
pioper kinds at the right prices. It u
also a good lan to leave spray formu

they can intelligently give instruc

lu au article commenting ou the
way Hood Kiver captuied the prizes
at the cherry show at Salem, tho
(jrants l'uss Courier says:
When it comes to advertising their
fruits the Hood Kiver orchardlsts are
not eqalled by the growers of any
other section of the Pacitlo coust. If
there is a distinguished person or a
notable party that passes through
Hood Kiver they are presented with
boxes of choice fruit being the com
pliments of the Hood Kiver Fruit
tirowers Union.
Let there lie a fair, uu exposition)
or a gathering of fruit growers any
where trom Maine to Oregou aud tbe
irrepressible Hood Kiver hustleis are
ou hand with a display of fruit and
they get away with the great majority
of the honors and their union couid
make a display of medals aud diplo
mas that in number would eclipse tbe
collection possessed by the much dec
orated monarchs of Europe. Even at
Snlem which claims to be iu the laud
of the cherry, Hood Kiver cherries
got away with most of tho honors in
the cherry exhibit at the meeting of
State Horticultural Society, held iu
tho capital city last week.
Then not content with competing
aguingst tho world these advertisers
lor protit hold a fiuit exhibit of their
own every two years at Hood Kiver
aud vie with each oilier w ho cau make
the best display of orchard products.
Already they have begun tho prepara
tions for tills Kail's fair which they
announce is to be larger, better and
more successful than heretofore held
by them.
That this persistent, thoiough and
ell'ective advertising is a profitable
investment is proven by tlio extraor
dinary high prices they realize for
their fruit, ?'l a box not being au un
usal price had for their apples. Last
year tho entire Hood Kiver npplo
oi op was bought by a London firm iu
competition with buyers from New
i ork ami other American cities. So
effectively has Hood Kiver been ad
vertised that many people lu the Last
and in Europe think it is a state of
tho Union, instead of a little valley

Hide of the Cascade mountains, peo
pled by tho most progressive, scieu

conoeded by experts that Rogue

fruits and does no fancy Lidding to

Insurance Holdup.
Tho city of Spokane does not take
at all kindly to the Z per cent, ad
vance in insurance rales. Spokaue
had for some time been looking for
a reduction of insuiance rates when
withou twarniug a 2o per cent, ad
vance is announced. Indignation
meetings have been held at which
sentiment has been expiessed as fol
lows: 'We are a comparatively small
community a mere speck on tbe
map of tho Uultod States aud it
would be wonderful indeed if tbo
movement inaugurated here could re
sult iu smoking out the great insur
ance trust. If the ius'irauce com
panies are in no condition to meet
another disaster such as that which
befell Sail Francisco, then their whole
scheme is bad and there ought to be
some government action to guarantee
their stability in the future.
Their stuck holders have for years
boon reaping largo dividends that
were not consistent with the amount
of capital they had invested. These
profits weie based upon unjust rutes
that were reuderod possible by a
trust agreement.
"They have effected an arbitrary
organization of the most thorough
character to maintain the high and
unreasonable rates, lhoir harvest
have been millions. They have pock
eted the proceeds ami should be made
to disgorge, now that they have en
countered the disaster that was inev
itable.
"in their eagerness for business
they have entered the fields, at Sun
I'raiicisco aud written risks broad
cast under close competition, well
knowing it was not only a Held ot
great danger but that an eaithquake
at tended by lire, would be a probable
consequence. Many of them carried
the bulk of their risks in that city.
Congress should take some action
to disturb this trust agreement Hid
to compel the stoekhuldois lo distri
bute their ill-gotten profits among
the policy holders without calling
upon other communities to make up
fin it with an increase of their exorb
itant rates.
"The English companies are cull
ing upon their stock ladders to make
good the loses thut result from a dis
aster under just these conditions.
American companies should be re
quired to do the same.
"We believe the chamber of com
merce here should get iu touch with
the chamber of commerce in all the
leading cities of the country aud
agree upon some line of joint action
looking to an ell'ective demand upon
congress for uu adequate remedy."
