MORE "HOOD RIVER" DISTRICTS NEEDED ihitt there i no danger of oser pro duction of tfm apple crop of the United Status for eerl yeare to 000M was the sentiment of W. M. Wllliamiou, secretary of the Hlate Hoard of Horticulture, In an .ddreaa Utely before the Portland Apple Krowera' Aasooiutton at the V. M. U. A. Mr. Williamson stated that while the population of the United State U i urn-easing a' the rate of 2.000,000 a yenr the tendeuoy for several yeara will be for the apple orop of that nart of the oountry east, of the Kooky Mountains to decrease, and that the nentile in the oitiea and on the farms are eatlnii more tipples than formerly and ure oultivetinK a taBte tor applea of host nualltv. Mr Williamson said In nart: "Itlwas tiredlnted In l!K)!l that we were on the vertfe of an over nVnrfnntan of mmles but today we find that pi leal have not decreased. "Kitty yeais ao people did not eat ao many apples us now, and the tfreateat use for the hoik of the orop wat in making, cider and apple brandy. People now, on the farms as well aa lu the cities, have acquired a taste for apples of superior quality, and the demand for tine applea in constantly increasing. "If the number of trees planted in the United Htatea were in proportion to the crop there would be an eunr uious liicreato in the production, but the fact Is that only '2,K)0 000 barrels were nroduceil from 1N.I4, to law while from 1889 to 1H!)I 47,000,000 barrels were iirodnced. This la most It the result of It lie Iihvoc wrought by pests, carelessnesa and tackwardness in apple-raising districts of the Kasteru rltates. Throughout the Kast, with but one oi two exceptions, there has been a constant decline lu the quality ot apples produced. There are at present only two localities lu the Kast which are competing with districts ot the Tactile Northwest in apple-raising. These are Orange County, New Vork, and Virginia. "The Eastern apple-raisers claim a superior flavor for their applea ou Hccount of the climate, but statlatlos show that In most oases the climutic features claimed to produce tine tlavnr in the Kast are just the reverse ami that the Western conditions are the heat. We have drier Summers, less humidity, smaller proportion ot cloudiness and fewer Injurious trosts here than in the Kast. "The gieatest advantage the West baa over the Kast is the absence of that 'Inertia ot conservatism. Xtie Westerners are wiling to change tor the better and consequently they are goiug to eliminate the pests arid raise superior applea. Meuioas ru apure ratslug are revolutionizing, us me case In all kinds ot fanning. "The bulk ot the apple orop will tie produced west of the Kooky Mountains lu the future, and tbeie is no reason why we cannot make Oregon the leading apple growiug state iu the Union. If thia is done it will be because we use our brains.

At a meeting there laat week, Dr. Andrew U. Smith, president ot tbe Oregou (lood Koads Association and Judge U K. Wesbter, botb ot Portland, spoke ou the benefits of good roads. Judge Webster Is an expert ou good roads and he will go about the state preaching tbe gospel of good roads iu the state wide movement which is being inaugurated. Heluw muob of his Koseburg speech is quoted and where be refers to Koseburg and Douglas comity it applies to Hond Kiver city aud county aa well as every other district or tbe state. "Kvery man In Douglas county should with energy and determination bold up tbe hands of the court that is taking bold and building good roads. You ought to hold up the hands of the public officials who are doing your work. If your pub llo servants make a mistake, re cognize the fact that you and 1 also make mistakes.
