RICHARD KELLY, AP PLE MAN, VISITS HERE Richard Kelly, a member of the widely known fruit buying firm of Steinhardt & Kelly, accompanied by his wife and three children. Misses Helen nd Elizabeth and Kichard, Jr., while making a tour of the Pacific coast states for pleasure, stopped here last week to visit the family of II. F. la vidson, and to see'the Apple Valley. Mr. Kelly refused to even discuss the apple market. I am on a journey of pleasure, he declared, "the first time away from my office and business in a score of years, and do not want to think about apples from the standpoint of a pur chaser. But I will tell you that I am delighted with the Hood Kiver country and the Columbia river highway. 1 en joyed my stay in Portland. It would not take much to make uie a big boost er for the North Pacific country." Mr. Kelly and his family motored over the Loiumma river highway and visited scenic points of interest throughout the valley. Kichard Kelly and his partner, Joe Steinhardt, are among the best known pple men in this country. They handle more northwestern box applet than any other single firm in the world. They have been an influential factor In the purchase of Hood Kiver apples since the district first began to make ship ments. A little over a quarter of a century ago the two might have been found- one a thrifty Irishman and the other a no less thrifty German, operating push carta in New York city. Their compe tition with each other began to result disastrously for both. They decided to cooperate, and the psrtnerhsip now bo well kown, was formed. Mr. Steinhardt is the outside man of the big firm. He makes a tour of the country annually. Mr. Kelly had never been west of the Mississippi river uniu on me present, lour wun ins lain ASSOCI ATION SELLS FIVE CARS D'ANJOUS Wilmer Sieg announces the sale of five carloads of d'Anjou pears, to go for the most part fur South American export trade, at $2.25 per box, f. o. b. Hood Kiver. "We sold the fruit several days ago," ssys Mr. Sieg, "but delivery will not be made until the pear have fully matured. They will probably start rolling this week." The Association has also booked Oravensteins at the record price of $1.50 per box for extra fancy grade. D'ANJOUS BRING GRATIFYING PRICE The Fruit Growers Exchange shipped out the first carload of d'Anjous Satur day. The fruit, which went to New York city, brought the gratifying price of $2 25, f. o. b. Hood Kiver, per box. "1 have never seen a finer quality of pear than that now being harvested by Hood Kiver growers," says Kenneth McKay. THE HOTEL OREGON AGAIN CHANGES HANDS An exchange, involving properly va ued at approximately $1K0,0I0 hag been consummated hetween .1. H. Gray, of Prineville, and the Yamhill Land Co of which A. Welch, of Portland, is chief owner.

F'ruit associations are asked to give peaches for exhibition purposes. All shipment will be franked, if sent in care ot the company' baggage men LOCAL STATION VERY UNIQUE HOME IS IN A FINE MANSION HikkI Rier Branch Experiment Station Conducted from Former JHomc of fapt. C P. McCan F"rom the standpoint of uniqueness the Hood Kiver branch of the Oregon State Experiment Station . probably cannot be excelled throughout the coun try. The local station, maintained by state and county appropriations, finds a home in the former residence of Capt. C. P. McCan, one of the moat elaborate country homes in the Apple Valley, and me tiilHUle acreage of the community comprises the experimental tract on which the experts conduct testa for the purpose of solving problems of the orchardists. The history of the local station and its forerunner, the Hood River Pelow- ship Association' office of experi ments, is interesting. In 1910 the orchardists of the region realised that they must cooperate in an effort to work out disease pest troubles that were becoming a menace. The task was one beyond the time and former experience of the fruit inspector alone, and the agitation resulted in the organ ization of the Hood Kiver Fellowship Association. This organization was composed of a large percentage of the apple growers, who agreed to allow each acre of their tracts pay a certain assessment or the hiring of an expert and the coat of his work. Prof. W. 11. Lawrence, now at the agricultural college of Missouri but then at the Washington Agricultural College, at Pullman, waa employed. His work waa conducted with the co operation of the faculty of the Oregon Agricultural College. Prof. Lawrence immediately discov ered that he had no small task. A number of cases of dreaded fire blight, the dread of orchardists the country over, were found. However, before the year of 1911 had pisaed Prof. Lawrence and Geo. R. Castncr, at that time fruit inspector, had cleared the valley of the plague. In 1912 members of the Fellowship Association, declaring that the burden of the cost of the organisation on a portion of the orchariata, when tha benefits were reaped by tha antire com munity, was unjust, began a campaign for the founding of the local station. The hill, providing for tha local branch institution was enacted by the 1913 leg islature. The sum of $5,000 annually was set aside for the station, the state appropriating $3,000 and the county $2,000 annually. The 1915 legislature provided an appropriation of $3,000 an nually for the years of 1915 and 1916. Two experts are stationed constantly at the station home. - LeKoy Child, a graduate of Stanford University and a graduate student of O. A. C, haa been here this summer studying soils and In fect pest. J. R. Winston, of Rich mond, Va., a graduate of Pennsylvania State College, who had been engaged in work at the North Carolina College before coming here, is the station's pathologist. The experts may be termed the orchards physician. They are subject to call from any orchardist n the community, and a great Portion of their time is spent in traveling over tne valley, ihey have an automobile to facilitate their transportation. k. w. AUen, who lor the past sev eral years haa made a study of irriga tion and grain crops at Hormiston. has spent a portion of this ycer at the lo cal station, studying the new irrigation needs brought on by the increase of grains and other cover crops in tha orchards. Last spring at the suggestion of tba Oregon Agricultural College faculty, which supervises the work of the local station, the following advisory board of orchardists for the station experts was elected: Upper Valley, C. P. Johann sen; Odell, Frank A. Massee: East Side. C. A. Reed, and West Side, Prof. C. D. Thompson. The station apparatus was removed this spring from an office building in the city to the former McCan home. Such a move was found economical, the palatial place being secured at nominal rent, because the experts, who are making their home at the McCan home, would be closer to the orchards In which they are conducting their work. today the shrubB around the country home, mosquito netting tied like shrouds over them, form the prison homes for different bug pests. The experts visit their captive .daily, studying their methods of living. And n the mahogany trimmed drawing room are cases of bugs,' aphides, cod ling moth and other foe of the orch ardists, all pressed and classified. Files of collected data are arranged where stood formeily the baby grand piano. And $500 chandeliers shed their ray of light upon the station's laboratory. PEAR MARKET IS ON THE UP GRADE Hood River orchardist are new re gretting that they have contracted for the sale of their Bartlett pear erorj to canneries for $20 per ton. I nave never seen a greater demand for Bartletts," says Wilmer Sieg. "I have received calls for 10 carloads in the past week, and cannot begin to find the fruit to fill the order. This is an other case of the grower allowing scaiy rumor of the early season to frighten them. If we had the pears now we could get $35 a tor. for them. "This loss, for- it is a loss to local growers of many dollars, is due -to the fact that the grower member of a co operative shipping association fails to keep in touch with his concern. A grower should make it a point to keep himself well informed." Mr. Sieg says that the apple crop, according to. reports from Sam O. Campbell, the chief inspector of the Association, is going to be of excellent quality. The worries of fungus of the early season have passed. The recent warm, dry days have killed the fungus growth and have kept it from spread ing. The 'Asosciation members are now harvetsing Kings, which are going for ward as rapidly as picked and packed to fill the 20 carload contract for South American markets. No late fruit haa been sold as yet. A carload of Orav ensteins, for Alaska trade, ba been old.
