What the nrst -exstiiQ of the iuttitute larked la at tendance wan made up in enthusiasm aud those wbo were present took an iutcrcsted (iu rt in the prooeedingH aud isteued to the epeakera with cloce at tention. The tiipp'iug was called to order by M in r i.j- Kay, president of the local hot tiftiltiiral iisBociatiou, who after stating in a few worda the object ot the meeting, introduced l'rot. Janiee Withytouih, Director of the experi nitwit station. In his 0( suing address. Prof. Withycntub paid a glowing tribute to Hood Hirer, stating that it wa4 a coxuintiity that could be held up to the rci-t of fie state us an example ot tfh.it could be done in the way of sol entilio fartiiinx. It h d led the way in the production and marketing of the llnust apples in the world which had been accomplished by unity of purpose and with brains applied to muscle. In tact so valuable did he consider the inolbuda employed here In orchard work that bo was going to recommend to the next Bp.sloti of the legislature that a sub-experiment sta tion bo located at Hood Kiver with mi expert hoitictiltitrist in charge and he hal Hlottdy included lu the amount asked by the Oregon Agticulttirnl Col lege, nu appropnatoiu of 11,500 for thin purpose. lie relieved however that the time wai at hand for Hood Kiver to take slepa to preserve the rioh qualities of Its soil and advocated the planting of cover crops aud diversilled fanning n a small way by every apple grower n order to maintain the plant food ot tbo soil which would 'certainly be- ooms exhausted it the drain on it was allowed to continue, lo accomplish this he thought that the bo-t plan was for growers to keep several cows of high grade stock that would not only provide hii income but give the ranch er the natural fertilizer for protecting and renewing the plant food. It wax bis opinion that there was no fertil izer that was more benelk'iat than barnyard compost and none which was so eoouomical. Nu matter he said how rich the soil was, like other lire giving bodies, It must be fed nud renewed He doubted, said Mr. Withycomb, the wisdom of special production of any kind without restoring to the soli the uourisbmwut that was taken from it aud believed that there was nothing that whs more important to the or- ohurdijt or the farmer tbuu knowing this tact uud beneuttiug cy It. J, 1.. Carter, whose subject was "Keuewitig Old Orchards. " was the next snckor to address the meeting hnd advocated top grafting old trees of iinprotltal.le varieties rather than pulling thorn out and sotting new trees iu their place or trying to graft ou a stump which had been reoom mended iu some parts of the state. It bad been his experience, said Mr. Carter, backed up by the observations of others that a tree planted lo the soil liotn which au old tree had beeu removed did not thrive and do so well. He bud found, however, that by top grafting iu the spring, when the tap oomuieutjod to flow that the grafts nourished and he had taken several boxes of apples from trees on wbiob the gralts were hut three years old. He believed that this wus the beet way to renew old orchards and also the most profitable aud satisfactory way. Mr. Carter also relerred any wbo were interested to an article iu "Better Fruit," by Prof. Cole of the Oregon Agricultural College whioh gBve valu able information ou the subject in band. H. II. Shepard talked on the value of fruit exhibits aud borticultuaal meetings. He told about being at Spokane during the National Apple hliow where be had secured consider able valuable Infotmation aud stated that one of the most noticoable faults he found there was the faulty paoking. In many instances the swell on the boxes was so . high that entire carloads of apples showed a bruised spot on every apple on the top layer of the box, some tit them as large as a naif dollar. It was tlierefoio very neces sary to have tiie proper swell and avoid this. The speaker then referred to the great possibilities of the state as a fruit producer staling that Oregon's fruit products lust year amounted to about (?.j,0(l0,noo while those of Cali fornia totalled 870,000,000 or more thHu the combined output of gold and wheat for that slate. He believed that Hie apple, pear and grape were going lo be to Oregon what the citrus fruits were to California aud would always command a prolltable pi lee as long a high quality and n standard pack were maintained. Mr Shenard then culled attentiou to the Porter bill which is before Congress asking that the size of the apple box in the Northwest be enlarged. The provi sions of this bill hare already been published in lull In the Glacier. Hut rietly it provides for the creating of a new bushel that would contain about otH) mora cubic inches than the pres ent bushel knon as the Winchester bushel which bas heretofore been con sidered thu standard by the govern ment and would necessitate a larger box. The bill also provides that In case the present box In use is not eu latged that it shall be marked "Short liox," which can easily be seen would be both an injustice and Injurious 'o the Northwest growers Mr. Shepard urged that the Hood Hirer s n'iety rake formal action ncli Ivinu the Oregun delegation iu Con gress that it wa opposed to the i'oit- j er bill ml asking it to work against it In bit oi pristion to the bill the foin.er iahs tin P'ltUd by E.

Auoiner resolution carried was oue indorsing the appropriation which will bo asked bv the Oienou Aericul. tural College from the slate when the legislature meets this winter. A matter brought to the atteu tlOU of the association bv President Kay was that of paying dues for the past year. He stated that only a mall percentage of the members bad paid then duet and that it was ueces ary for the society to have Ihe funds. Hair of the amount due paid by the local association goes to the State so i-ieiy auu owing 10 ine lact that a number of the societies of the state Dad been remiss iu this direction, Mr. E. L. Smith explained that the ex pense of holding the recent horticul tural meeting in Portland bad devolv ed on a few wbo weie present. The sessions of the Institute were continued Tuesday, the morning meeting being pre-dded over oy O. K. Castner, vioe president of the society. The openug talk was made by II. li. Tucker who discussed pruning iu all its phases and at laugth. Mr. Tuck or s observations ou this Imnortaut matter ware ot great value as they were taken from practical exper ience. He stated that he was forced to the oouolusion that the most intel ligent way to pruuo a '.ree was to stimualte the wood growth until it reached !an age where it was laiuc enough to bear fruit withuot injury. He said be believed that it was more injurious to allow a tree to tear four or live boxes nf apples wheu it w from four to five years old tbau to al low it bear twelve to fourteeu boxes when it reached tbo age of twelve years. 1'urtbermore, he cautioned agauist outting tit nil until the mau who was doing the outturn knew ex actly what he was doing it for. He oeiieved nowever by close study that trees could bo made to grow iu almost any shape or to make wood or fruit by ine persistence una pa. ieuce or the grower. He also delivered a very good talk in regard to proper paoking aud aooompanied bis remarks with practical experience along this Hue. Mr. luoker was followed bv Prof. C. E. Uradley who delivered a short address on soils explaining their com- poBitioo, the neoessaiy elemeuts to produce fruit uud the tant that it took hut a few years to exhaust their life. Prof. Bradley in this connec tion said that the soils ot Oreuou were comparatively virgin, as thev had beeu oultivated only in a few places uud iu a small percentage for 50 years aud it had taken litres to bring them to their present high state ot pioductivity. He explained bow wheat lauds bad been allowed to be come exhausted by over, cultivation aud production aud saidithat the same result would undoubtedl'' ensue under the same conditions with tin orchard. Ihe supply of humus aud oitrogeu must be kept up whether by artificial or other Jtueaus. His talk aroused a great deal of interest and discussion that was participated iu by many of his listeners. 'ihe nfernoou session was turned over to the Professors, A. B. Coidley and C. 1. Lewis. The fcrmer made the opeuiug address, bis subject being "Apple Kosb aud Fungus." lo con trolling this dsease Mr. Cordley said that the experiment station had con ducted some experiments to deter mine the best means of eradlctiug it and thai he bad found lime and sul phur to bo a better medium than bordeaux mixture. In these experi ments three sets of trees wbioh were used showed that on those which were not sprayed for apple scab only 19 poj cent were Iree from this disease, Ihose wbiob were sprayed with bor deaux showed 50 per cent of olean truit aud those wbiob were sprayed with lime and aulphur ot the proper time bore 80 per cent of apples free of scab. Later experiments along the same line gave 90 per cent of the ap ples free of scab sprayed with lime aud sulphur. Mr. Cordley stated however that the spray must lie ap plied at the right time and bad been found to be very efficient at i pound to 18 gallons ot water mixed with 2 pounds ot arsenate of load to 50 ' gal lons of water and applied with the first spray for the oodlin moth. The apple scab germs he stated were not carried through the winter iu tbo tree but in the dead leaves wbiob were allowed to He ou the surface of the ground. If these leaves could be burned oi plowed under the surface a long step would be gained in getting rid ot apple scab. Both these metb oda were, however, expensive and the logioal solution of the pioLIom was to spray them with the best fuuhicide whioh could be found, aud, so far lime and sulpher was the best that bad been tried at the expe imeut sta tion. Mr. Cordley's advocacy of lime aud sulpher as a fungicide iu preference to bordeaux aroused warm discussion participated iu by C. 11. Sproat, l)r Stanton Allen, U. 1. Sargent, E. il. Shepard, J. II. Snoemakei and others. Mr. Sproat had beeu very successful he said in controlling apple scab with the use ot bordeaux and told of tlia aotual results he had accomplished lu his orchard. Ho said however that he bad listened to Mr. Cordley with at tention aud expected to try lu part the method he bad told about, next year. Mr. Shepard said he had been very successful with boideaux and Mr. Sargent also gave testimony to this effect. Or. Allen bad burned the leaves and felt that he had beeu ben efited by so doing. A very plea.tant diversion was then auuouuced by Mr. Murray Kay, which whs to the effect that Miss Hanna would kinldy sooth the rutlled feath ers of the bordeaux-lime and sulpher advocates and opponents by singing for them. Tbii she did wi.b Miss Gladys Hartley as accompanist so charmingly that she wus forced to respond to an enoore. Ihe last but not least number ou tbe program was an address by Claude 1. Lewis, boritculturist of the experi ment station ou "Cover Crops and lrriagtiou in lieterenca to Fro Uri ow ing " Mr. Lewis lost no time iu sailing right into the heart of Lis sub ject aud did not mince words in ex pressing bis convictions. He was loaded witb the refills of practical experiments aud statistics aud gave them to the audience right oil the reel, lie said at ihe outset that cover crops was one of his hobbies and it (Continued on Puge 9.) WILL SOON MAKE BALLBEARING HUB GETTIXGjPLANT READY FOR WORK Company Already lis Orders for Sev. eral Sets and Xew riant May Mean BlKlThing for Hood River. The Hood Klvei Manufacturing Company which will manufacture tbe ooue lock Bud ball bearing bub recent ly patented by J. J. Luokeyara build ing a large addition to Mr. Luckey's shop and will make this valuable ap pliance as soou as the building cau he completed and tbe machinery in stalled. While no effort bas as yet been made to advertise or place tbe ball bearing bub before the publio tbe manage ment has ulteady received several or ders by mail aud could have taken many more if it bad been In a posi tion to till them. One ot the orders is for Dve sets ot bubs from Canada. This invention of Mr. Lackey's is said by expert mechanics to be one of the most valuable and practical that has beeu perfected and they rate it very blgh in commercial val ue. The inventor and patentee has a letter from tbe Commissioner of Patents stating that be rates its val ue to Mr. Luckey ns it stauds with out being exploited at between 250.01)0 and 111X1,000. ihe great value of the ball bearlug bob and cone lock la in its friotlou reducing qualities nnd iu Us absolute safety. Another fea ture that commends It highly to ve hicle users nud for any other use that it may be put to later is that it does not require any oil. It took tbe in tentor a long time time to think out aud finally perfect this niece of mechanism and It was not until he bad put oue Into di action I use for three years and found It successful that be applied for a patent. Sever al oilers have been received for tbe patent rightB but Mr. Luckey bus re fused to part with this mechanical child of his creatoiu ns be thoroughly oeueves as wen as other members ot tbe company that it is going to be a big thing lu tbe way of a manufactur ing enterprise for Hood Kiver. Ihe plant that is being Installed will have a capacity ol 100 sots a day tuti it is expected to emnlov about fifteen mechanics to operate it at the start. Some of tbe machinery wuion naa already arrived Includes a 12 tou hammer tor forging purposes, large drilling machines, lathes and otber mechanical devices necessary. A Z'J norse cower water motor will operate the new factory. From tbo viewpoint ol providing a pay roll for the oity this is probably the mostlim- portant step that bas ever been taken at Hood Kiver and tbe success of the Invention may mean tbe employment of several hundred men at Hood Kiv er in a very abort time. It is stated by the management that the plaoing of one sot of tbe bubs in oue county alone In every state would require the sei vines of 1,5000 men here to turn tbem out. When properly advertised aud agents appointed this is by no means an Impossible (task .and when the big wholesale jobbers of the ooun try have this device plaoed in tbeir bauds its sales should undoubtedly prove enormous. The establishment of a big munufac. turing plant here would bring others uud it Is the opinion ot many that the new Industry should therefore reoeive all tbe support possible at tbe bands of Hood Itiver's oommercial interest and Kb residents. This they oan do iu niauy ways, by talking about it, us ing it and lending their financial aid. It bas for some time been the opinion of many Hood Kiver business men that It is time to turn tbe attentiou of Uuauoial interests here to providing manufacturing industries for the oity us well as developing the fruit and lumber resources and tbe proper amount of interest in the new indus try just starting may mean a great deal to Hood Kiver. At Eugeue, The Dalles and other places where the ball bearing bub has beeu shown it bas oreated wide inter est and in Portland an offer was re ceived from a big hardware firm for tbe rights to baudle it exousively in the state. At present the work of installing the plant is being hurried along and although the machinery wbicb is be ing putchased will.be able to turn out a much larger number of sets than will at llrst be manufactured tbe man agement is looking to the future aud providing for what it is confident will, in a short time, be a big demand for tbe new article. Ihe Hood Kiver Manufacturing Company bas beeu incorporated with a capital otu10,000. L. IJ. Boyed Is president and K. N. Young is seoie-tary-manager. It is expected to start the factory with an out put of 17 sets ot hubs a day which will be used to supply orders aud tor the purpose ot providing samples for salesmen and exhibition purposes.
