RIVER METHODS ANNUAL HORTICULTURAL MEETING Hood Kiver Society Discuss Methods and Valuable Inforniatlon Exchanged. lbe annual meeting of the Hood River Horticultural Sooiety wa held at the opera boute Saturday moruing ana aiterooou, witD a fair attendance. lbe meeting was culled to order by President Wythe, with H. Avery sec retary I he morning session witlm talk on soravina l.v I'mmrS nil ibkhii ii Kiult Inspector Castuer. who hH tiattitiles of tbe liquid spravs on tbe market, both in full strength aud as diluted to proper strength for uaa tie aWo bad branches of hddIh tieea showiug the effects of scale aud ether diseast'H. At the afternoon session the discus slou nas continued, the first talk be log by A. 1. Mason, who denurtnd trom tbe tuple. asigu d. aa it was the tame as bad been given at other meet lugs, und addre-sed the n-eemlilv from notes on dirferent topics. Some of toe points touohed upon were: How to select a tree : Mr. Mason said that we were for'unnte iu this valley that we were not tortured with a horde of tiee agents, as at some other points, but that local nurseries supplied tbe bulk of tbe trees, aud that not many outside nuiseries had representatives here, or at least unre liable ones, lie preferred a yearling tree and vaa also in lavor of taking piuuty oi lime to sot 0'it tbe tree, digging a deep hole, plaoing the main roots six to eight inches below tbe surface, lbe best time to set a tree waa a point on which many dlt lereo, out lie preterred the fall. Tbe question of poilenizatlon. he said, was a point which he would leave to tuners to aisouie, es It was cot fully known yet. ine cultivation or orobards was most essential aud nas of far more value than water to tbe growth 'it an orchard. Grafting wax, instead of paint. tbpuld be usud to cover the end of sawed off branches, a the paint crack- ed and allowed a dry rot to sturt in tha hmnnh The "question of fertilization was uaHUUU. iHsen up. mr. ntason saiu tnac it was impossible to get enough tiarn- yard manure to feritlize the orchards of the valley, and comme.oial fertil- izers were expensive, and that It was necessary to renew properties or tbe suit e.Miausieii uy iree Krowiu. ue was now experimenting with several kinds of cover crops grown in bis or chard, and found tbe common vetch tbe best. It made tbe best growth. Caupdiaii. peas and crimson clover froze down with the first frosts, while toe veton wai u unarmed. Mr. Mason was opposed to Irriga- tion in orchards and remarked that he knew he differed from many in this resnent. Hn cited as sismnla nf tnn L i i Ii iL r u . ,, much Irr gatlon that the apples of all 1 rr iioruii H turrinf u I fall doom thia rr and in ft all I nwvva uinvtinaa l lt.lt 1 Llj i,i I oyiiio uiBiiiuun o"i' uuu 'niver bad tbe same trouble. There were nn rennrda nt ITnnd fMvar annlna inf. 1 ting after being sent to market. The inspection of orchards should be thorough aud old, diseased trees in negleoted places should be removed. He cited inetunces of where a few trees near the main traveled road 1b the valley, planted tbere as family orchards and lett to decay, made a bad impression on visitors aud were a detriment tu the whole valley. - llie question of spray was discussed at length by Mr. Mason, who said alons tbe orav as a of paying that be was expel indenting line or oooking nn own spray. matter of economy, Instead of paying a round price for the prepared sprays. He stated tbat the ingiedienta in a bariel of spray was not over S3 15. while the market price of the prepared spray was from w to 13. He said tbat be could save tbe oost of a steam oooking plant by cooking bis own spray and intended to experiment along tbat line. Tbe brown aphis came in for discus sion, Mr. Mason claiming that be lost more apples trom this cause" than fiom the codlin moth. The oodlln moth is so thoroughly under ooutrol in this valley tbat it is being almost exter minated with careful spraying, but tbe brown aphis cannot be killed by the common spray, an it works uuder cover. The speaker stated that he intended to experiment with n new spray for tbe oodlin moth and had been ottered 100 pounds of lead . by a manufactur ing concern for tbat purpose and be thought be oould reduce tbe cost of spray ootiNiderable. A uuuioer of questiios were asked Mr. Mhsou and there waa a discussion nloug several lines whioh brought out val'iable information, which was of benefit to apple growers E. L. Smith was tbe next speaker on the program and spoke along the lines of pollenization,' toxic poison in land and aho wbat influence the stock of a trne baa upon tbe grafted soion. Mr, Smith said that be bad had ex perience in cleared land, tbat he had burned logs, cleared the land and taiaed a bumper crop of wheat tbe flrst year, while gibe second crop wa almost a fuilure on the same land. He also called attention to tbe fact tbat a young tree set in the place where au old one had been taken out would not do well. Tbe cause of this is a toxio poison which all plants throw off and which poisons tbe soil, requiring treatment of the soil, by cultivation or otherwise, to release or neutralize tbe effect of tbia toxio poison. Mr. Smith said that tbe claim was made by some that tbe fruit from tbe soion grafted onto a tree of another variety was affected by tbe preut tree. He did not agree with this, ns all tbe tiees were budded "if gratfed, and tbere m practically no difference in tha fruit. He also called attention to the foot that trees 150 years old are now bearing fruit whioh does not dif fer from tbe recent fruit of tbe same vaiiety. although tbe 'young tree has been propagated through a long line of grafted or bmlde t trees. Climate and localities change a'tape and color of tbe fruit, but not tbe bud or graft. In regard to cross pollenization, al though Hoience bad not determined ut how much virtue there is iu it, I yet It was. well known fact that erosalfit a a ra r s-a a '.? fertilization of several varieties strengthened all of them. It w-a also Known tact that soma trees fertilize much easier than others and that the neavy uioomer helped out the so-called any Dearera. Mr. Smith aaid that the BRIDGE IS WASHED AWAY should bo a school of parking apples established by some one, where morel could be taught tbo business. Pack ers should also bo paid by tho dav i aiuer loan oy toe doz, aa last year, as it would Insure a better pack. . . i i . , .

"0B lon ln of marketing the lt.ait "m e standpoint of tho Ap pie urowera- union, and made many 1 M V . vuijr vaiuau.e suggestions. Mr. Sproat aaid that it was eenerall nnn- ceded that the present high piioea of allies wouu uoi continue always. but that apples at a dollar a hoi would atill make Hood River orchards wortn VI.OUO an aore. Tbe Increased aoreage would adeot prloea some, al- tbougb tbia would be oountarantnrl in a large measure by the decreased acre age of tho eastern orchards Com. petition could be exoected from distriots on tbo Pad tie ooast whioh weie imltatiug Hood Rivei methods, putting op good packs, etc He aaid toe eastern apple buyers had all lost money tbia year, exoept those who handled the Hood Kiver product, and be nnderatood the Davidson Krn it Co. came out all right, aa tbere is no repoit from anywhere that Hootl Hi er apples fell down. He read maiket reports to show that while the apple maiket in general was bad on account or poor stock, tbe market on ianov apples held up. The Union waa nned turn year, as in otner yeirs, to con sign their apples, but tbey did not consider it a good basla to work on. auu soia ineir orop instead or con signing. He thought it would soon be necesaary to have a representative in eastern markets to dispose of the Hood Kiver orop. aa buvera would nardiy oome out from New York to cia on low carloads of apples, which wo wm nave in a lew years. Mr Sproat said that the method nf Dimming tbe Hpitzenberg orop wonld mire to be changed and that ha thought It would reaulra cold storaoa plants of a oapaolty of from 150,000 to I oini non i-. .

I've had to give educational affairs in Oregon some very serious thought tbe past year, and it seems to me in many of those oases where there is snob dissatisfaction there is some thing radically wrong, not with the teaober, nor tbe oourso of study, but witb tbe mental oi pbysloal condition or tne cniid.

Sunday Diaht the water nnt a nasi obauuel in Hood Kiver south of tbo bridge and the whole force of the cur rent went against the west bank, soon undermining tbe concrete pillars which support tbe steel bridna. and a large section of the wooden approach fell into the river about three o'clock in tbe morn tun.

While I teaob first primary I must be familiar witb tbe course of study even In tba high school. Xbe nrst grade In school la the foundation of all school work. If stones are left out in tbe foundation, or loosely placed, tbe whole afler structure stands a liability to become weakened. The obild properly placed In school, thoroughly taught the first year to think for himself has a strong bealtby basis for lite. It goes with out saying tbat his instruction must be followed up, but succeeding teaoh- era oaunot say, "He just oan't get on in bis work, be was not. started right In the beginning." The teaobers may not be doing ail they oan for tbe child. Tbey may do like the old jin gle: "Ram It in, cram It In, Children's beads are hollow." But tbere are some tbinns left yet for the parents to do. Tbere are cir cumstances of parental neglect that bave oome to my notice in my ' brief stay in Hood River that would appeal to you, as tney bave me. Inere are conditions that exist here, as every where, tbat are a disgrace to human ity and tbey exist not wholly through tbe iguoraooe or poverty of mothers, but through indolence and sheer sel fishness. I was much sui prised In plsnnina my work at first to find tbat Hood River schools were using the same course of study used in oountry schools. It s always considered com paratively easy work when city schools use tne state oonrse of study. I've given tbe subject of crammed outre oulum some very serious thought lately and I've oome to tbe conclusion that tbe fault lies not in tbe teaober nor tbe oouise of study, hut in tbo child, or the borne from which he oame.
