The meeting of growers strongly approved of the a committee la now worknl finite and decide plans for I lishment of the Hood Ri Growers' Fellowship which I ately became a U. s. goven periment station located in 1 with at least three expert: Saturday jr A.il. ay iiltini nent ex oil Rivei anil 111 ported by the government, I bis scheme has been in the minds ot a Dumber of the orchardiata of the valley for some time and the meeting Satur day was called by the east side growers in order to start the move ment. A. I. Mason acted as tin of the meeting numerous i presed their views on the I should be followed in the a of the work. Dean Cordh mm i ex iWt'l 's whirli Animation w as pre sent from Corvalis anil gave his ideas of how the work should be organized. His views were similar to those ex pressed by Prof. H. S. Jackson, of 0. A. C. in a letter to A. W. Peters which was read at the meeting. The state college experts recommended that the best plan was for the fruit growers ot the vail y to raise a fund by which al lea -t mo man could be supported to . ..e up a residence here and make the ilood River orchard problems a study. jy said that the orchardiata should be prepared to pay a competent man a salary in the ncighlinrhooti oi im.ioo a vear and that plans should be made to oniluct the work for not less than a three year period in order that results worthwhile might be obtained. While it is probable that aid tor the support of this experimental work might be gamed from the state or national governments, the securing ol either would take considerable time and it is pertinent that the work be not delayed. If the Hood River grower demonstrate their determination to (jet at the bottom of then troubles aid from the government might come later and if it is in the form of an experi ment station it will mean that at least three experts would be placed in the valley. E. 11. Shepard, editor of "Bettei Fruit," was present and spoke concern ing the plan. He said that he had made an effort several days ago to start a similar movement and had con siderable money subscribed but that matters came up making it im practable to attempt to continue the movement at that time. He said that money spent for an expert would be in the nature of orchard Insurance against new pests which may develop anil would be a very profitable invest ment for the apple growers. He siioke of the similar work which has been done in other sections anil noted the fact that P, J. O'Gara, the govern ment expert, who has been in Medford aiding the Rogue river fruit growers in combatting the pear blight, has been offered 16000 to return and con tinue his services. In the Rouge river country O'Gara had seven assistants who were engaged in the work. Mr. Shepard also told of the patrol which had been operated at Wenatchee, where every tree planted was in spected before being set. The general opinion of the growers seemed to be that the funds with which to hire the expert and carry on the work ihoud be raised by a voluntary assesinent of all the orchards of the valley at so much per acre. If enough money could be raised it is possible that two experts might be secured as there are many problems which need study and there are others constantly coming up. Probably the most Im portant local problem to Ilood Rivei is that of the "winter kill" and that is probably what would lirst be taken up. I l lie geneiiii men seemeii 10 oe iii.n when the funds were secured a joint committee of the subscribers to the fellowship in Hood River and the cx j perts at Corvallis should be given charge of the administration of the funds, By working in cooperatioi I with the Corvallis experts much may I be gained for Ilood Itiver and for them 1 and this BCCne was regarded as being I desirable. At the close of the meeting a com mitee was appointed consisting of P. S. Davidson, Rite Babson, Frank Cut ler, A. W. Peters, Dr. Btanton Allen, M. M. Hill, George 1. Sargent, E, li. 1 Shepard and Q, R. Castner to arrangi : the definite plans along the lines which had been outlined in the meeting, i This committee met Monday evening 1 at the University Club and discussed the various phases of the movement and formed their organization with Mr. Davidson a. chairman and Mr. ', Peters as secretary. A sub committal was appointed consisting of Messrs. Davidson, Peters and Castner which met Tuesday morning and drew ii j tentative by-laws and constitution for the growers organization which would 'support the fellowship. The full 'committee will meet Saturday to gi I over the work of the committee ol three and when the definite plans an 'complete t canvass of the valley will i be made to ascertain the attituil the grower in general on the sul Considerable time at the mei of ject. ting 1 to had the Saturday afternoon was devote the discussion of the burn which tppeari d on the apples in some of eastside orchards and which attributed by the growers to the was use Dear. of the lime-sulphur spray A. H. Cordley, of the Oregon Agricul turial College was present at. the meeting and he had spent a couple of days in the orchards of the valley in vestigating the reHrts of damage done. A large number of the growers present spoke of the bum as it ap peared in their orchards and many of them brought along apples to show just the nature of the damage There w us considerable (divergence in the conditions and the results in the var ious orchards ami different sprays had been used at different times but the general result seemed to have been iluit trees which had been sprayed with the lime-sulphur solution during or shortly before the two very hot days last week had had the fruit burned. The apples which were effected were for the most part on the south and west sides of the trees where the sun would Btrke them. After the various growers hail given reports on the conditions In their orchards ami their ideas of the causes, Mean Cordley was called upon and he stated the results of his observa tions in the orchards. He was not aide h any definite conclusions as growers not to a conclusion to icording to his scald which the use of the e stilted that ere the lime- yet but arrive he warned the t too positive nly, The injury a cation was sun een accentuated bj lulphur spray. II veral orchards wl iulphur solution had not been used sun jcald was found but that it was 111) loubedly worse where the spray had been put on, The burn on the apples is very hard to explain especially in riew f the fact that this is the first i record where the lime-sulphui Br been responsible for an in the fruit. ury t The injury any of the i burned sppli to about tw burn was gri not at all serious in irds as the per cent ot rchard a runs and i atest. from less than one a half where the As the thinning is the orchards the in removed and there damage result to one orchardist ex not think the burn HOW being done it jured fruit will i will be no actua he growers. As ireaaed it : "1 do is any financial damage and the trouble is that it will make me thin my apples better than usual. 1 never like to thin and do not do enough of it but I will nave to do it right this year." Dean Cordley said that while there was no real damage to result just low the circumstance was disquieting as an injury had been done by an agent Heretofore thought to have been harm less. It will have a highly benefi cial result in that it will cause investi gation to find out just what conditions were responsible for the burn and under wdiat conditions the results might have been worse. The liordeaux spray which has been to a great extent succeeded by the lime-sulphur caused an injury to the fruit and is used very little any more as a fungicide, in none of the orchards was the in- inrv to the fruit nearly as great as would have been caused by the use of the old Bordeaux mixture. In speaking generally of the spray ing Dean Cordley noted that all spray ing was undesirable and that all effici ent sprays were more or leBs danger ous. In spraying for fungus, the ob iect is to kill one plant and at the same time do no injury to the other and according to the O. A. C. expert u fungicide should never be used unless there was fungus to kill. The Question comes up to the orchacdist whenSie can get no fungi cide which will not do some damage, whether he had better spray for fun gtis at all or not. When he de- ides to snrav the next question is what to spray with. So far, according Dean Cordley, damage had never been noted from the use of lime-sulphur but now the experts will have to t busy and hud a new spray wnicn will kill the fungus and not hurt the fruit or find out the exact conditions inder which lime-SUphur is injurious in that they may not occur again. The possibility was noted that the lamage to the apples might have been the result of the acid in the arsenate of lead which was by many of the orchardiata combined with the lime-sul phur spray. Dean Cordley will have m analysis made ot the uitlereni brands of lead at Corvalils thiH week that it may be determined what sort of a factor the arsenate was. Dean Cordley said that the rapid growth and development of the fruit this season had made it more tender and susceptible to the injuries that it is as a rule. The red varieties of apples seemed to nave received uie wursi effects from the lime-sulphur while ths Newlowns and Ortleys had scarcely any burned apples where they had been sprayed under the same conditions as had Baldwins, Spitzen bergs and Black Twigs in the same orchard which were damaged. Mosl of the orehardists reported that the Baldwin apples seemed to have been damaged more than any of the other varietieB. HOOD RIVER HAS SEVENTY-ONE AUTOS The seventyfint automobile cam into the Hood River valley within tht last week and into this little commun ity which had its first auto just tive years ago this month there is now a oower driven vehicle for every 100 persons. The growth of the auto busi ness In Hood River has been rapid, the heavy grades which it is necess--iary to travel made Hood River an impossibility to the early autos, but now there are are 71 cars here which will take the roads in all parts of the valley. The first automobile in the valley was bought in June 1905 by W. I), lingers, and when it is lined up with the big touring cars which are i iow common, it seems tj lit the name which has been given it, the "potato bug." The pioneer automobile is a Waltham with a four horse power angine, It is still in the game and now belongs to E. R. Parker. It may not be able to show the speed of some of the newer and bigger cars, but if it is given time it will get there just the same. LThe first year there was but one car in the valley and in 1906 there were several other cars brought in. Other cars came in during the next three years until a census of autos lest fall would have shown a return of a few over U0 cars. Of the machines now in the valley 48 have been brought in since the lirst of January. Some ol these new machines replaced old cars which are not in use here now, but there are twice as many autos here now as there were last fall. The original auto bought by Mr. Rogers cost $42.r and has but one cylinder which develops four horse lower. The largest car in the valley is the Loxier belonging to Capi. C, P. McCan. It is a late model having been brouhgt in a little over a month ago Hie cost of this big car was 17,000 and its six cylinder engine will develop 90 horse power. The exact amount of the outlay GRAND OPENING NEW HOSTELRY CREDIT TO CITY Many Guests Enjoy Dancing and Inspect the New Building Which is Elegantly Equipped Die Open House at the Hotel Oregon Monday evening was a most enjoyable affair, many guests gathering to see the new hostelry winch was for the irst time thrown completely open. fhe whole building from kitchen to root garden was iinllianlly lighted and handsomely decorated in honor of the occasion and maids were stationed throughout the building to attend the guests and show them about the rooms. The hotel, although it has been iperated continuously during the en arging and modernizing process which has been going on for the past six months, could not he recognized on the interior as the Waucoma of a vear go. On entering the enlarged lobby the guests were greeted by the crackling f the wood tire which blazed forth ospitality from the great tire place at the south end of the room. The big comfortable leather chairs had all been swung about with backs to the wall to clear the room for dancing dur ing the evening. In a corner of the lobby next to the clerk s desk is the well BPPOiniea writing room, neninii the counter, where obliging young men onstantly preside over the regiBter, s the private exchange which connects with a lelebone in every room in the house, and has two trunk lines into the main city exchange. The large plate glass windows and beautiful electric fixtures give excellent light for the lobby both day and night. In the dining room ttie area or the irigiual room had been cleared for dancing and Newman's orchestra fur- llshed rollicking tunes during the veiling. The room was prettily decorated with Jap lanterns, and nags and roses were on the tables in the new portion if the dining room where tables were irranged at which ice cream, straw berries and cake were served during the reception. A large bowl of cher ries was on a stand in each corner of the dining room. The new portion of the room with high oak wainscoting is especially attractive and is lighted by wall and ceiling chandeliers of artistic design. The guests were also welcome in the kitchen, where Jap Joe holds forth and is as proud as can be of his section of the hotel. The kitchen and serving pantry which are in reality one large room, are conveniently arranged and present a very clean, light and airy appearance. The new range is a model for handling immense quantities of food at once and in one corner of the kitchen in the large cold storage room with a capacity for a ton of ice in which large quantities of meats, vegetable, fruits, etc., may be stored. The rooms on the upier floors of the hotel were thrown open for the in ipection of the visitors and daintily capped maids ushered the people through the suites. The rooms are newly furnished, a vase of handsome Hood River roses in each apartment gave a pleasant touch to the nicely equipped rooms. A telephone and hot and cold water are a feature of every room in the house and more than 20 of the rooms which now total nearly 100, are furnished with private bath. The rooms, which are carpeted with velvet ami Brussels carpets and furnished with comfortable brass and iron bed steads, compare well with the great fashionable hotclB of larger cities. Dressers, tables, and chairs in most of the rooms are of golden oak, while in a half dozen of the more expensive suites, mahogany and birdseye maple were used in the manufacture of the furniture. Several parlor suites as well as groups of bed rooms with private baths, make very desirable apartments for families who are living in the hotel for an extended period. Farthest from ihe front door, but not the least attractive part of the new hotel, is thejroof garden which Monday night presented a fairy land ap pearance with ChristmaB trees on every hand the strings of flags Jap anese lanterns all about thelplace. The mandolin quartette spent the evening on the roof playing good old tunes for pleasure of the guests who wandered out for fresh air and to be refreshed at the punch bowl which was situated in a corner of the roof garden. I.ate in the evening the stringed orchestra went down staris and grouping themsevles on the landing played for the dancers in the lobby and dining room alternat ing with the other group of musicians. There were guests present from town and valley and all thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of Manager and Mrs. K. C. Smith, who were ably as sisted by Ira Judd, under whose effi cient management the dining rooms of the Oregon are gaining an enviable reputation. represented by the cars in the valley has not been ligured item by item but the cost of all the autos will total very near $13.r.,KJ0 At the present rate of increase Hood River will have 200 cars here in me spring oi Of the 71 cars in the valley there are 27 different makes represented and probably twice that many different models may be seen.
