Hood River, Oregon PAULHAMUS PROPOS ES "FOOL KILLER" "It is not my desire to unduly critU cise any person connected with the fruit.buiines. but I sometimes believe that wa should have a 'Fool Killer' capable of discerning the difference between honesty of purpose and Jselfieh desire." Sucb is a paragraph of a letter re ceived by local fruit growers from W. H. Paulhamua, chairman of the execu tive committee of the Growers Council, as organized last year at Tacoma, Wash., who urges all orcharidsts to conform to the principles embodied in recent suggestions made at Spokane by the Office of Markets of the United Status Department of Agriculture. Mr. Paulhamua says that bis atten tion has been called to complaints msde by three well known buyers and dis tributors of North Yakima, Wash., who are attacking the government plan of distribution on tne ground that the proposed Office of Markets plana dofnot permit of a cash buyer gettingwhat fruit be desires by paying cashjfor it. "In my judgment," says Mr. Paul hamua'in his letter, "this is a veiled attack. Every grower in the state of Washington knows that any man, who has the money, can buy anything that we have for sale if the price is right, and 1 am aura that any plan the gov ernment presents will not preclude the selling of fruit to any person that de sires to buy, and has the money to buy with. "As near as I can'digest, the gov ernment plan is very similar to that outlined by the Growers' Council, with such improvements as our year's ex perience taught us was necessary. 1 believe that every fruit grower of the northwest should be extremely thank ful to the Department of Markets for its generous help to bring about a more orderly control of the fruit indus try. "The fruit industry is second only to the lumber industry in the north west, and if it is not put on a stable basis disastrous results will follow, not only to'the growers themselves, but to the entire community. If this state ment is true, can we afford to give any consideration to the three companies in question at the present time? What are they doing, or what have they been doing, except to purchase fruit as cheaply as they could purchase it and sell it for as much as possible? Have all of them or any of them exerted any influence in behalf of the grower, ex cept for their personal gain?" Mr. Paulhamua advises growers to select their boards of directors not so much because of popularity of candi dates and their ability as mixers, but to look to their business ability. "I trust," he says in conclusion, "that every delegate attending the Growers' Council meeting at Tacoma will get back of the government plan and help make it go." UNDERWOOD PLANS BETTER SCHOOLS At the annual meeting the patrons of the Underwood school district last Sat urday, by a unanimous vote the school board was instructed to purchase a five acre tract suitable as a campus for pro poned buildings. The school district, located in the rich orchard section, plans to erect a set of buildings, including a high school structure with departments for manual training and domestic science. A model teacher's home, community play grounds and a practical course in agri culture are also included in the plans. This is a rich school district and, with the new Parent-Teacher Association recently organized with much enthusi asm, it is expected to soon develop a very high grade school system. The district now owns a good two room school house located on a one acre tract and places its present assets at about $3000. W. B. Rine was elected director, without opposition, to (ill the place on the board just vacated by H. C. Low den, who, after six years' service, has retired to take the principalship of the school. Alfred It. Hedrick has been principal of the school for the past four years. He is now teaching in the Latin department of the Washington high school, Portland, and will spend bis va cations at his orchard home here. LOCAL ATHLETES TO MEET-DALLES MEN The activities of the Athletic depart ment of the Commercial club are ex tending beyond the city. On the even ing of Monday, March 20, in charge of Robert Murray, coach of The Dalles high school athletic teams, eight ama teurs from The Dalles will come here to particpate in wrestilng bouts and boxing matches with athletes of the club. Will McGuire, chairman of the athletic committee of the Commercial club, is arranging for the meet. A charge of 25 cents admission will be made to pay the expenses of the evening. Attendance at past athletic meets at the club have been large, and iti s expected that a great number will be present on the evening of March 20. Local Potato Supply Sufficient The local potato supply this year will more than meet the demand. The quan tity of commercial tubers produced on valley ranches reached approximately 50 carloads, of which 25 remain stored in pits in the Upper Valley. Because of weather conditions and the tie-up on the Mount Hood Railway Co. line, it will be impossible to market the stoi age potatoes for several weeks. C C. Lemmon, of the Hood River Produce Exchange, quotes potatoes in carload lots at $1.15 per bag. Rancher Wants Road Drained Hood River, Ore., March 7, 1916. Editor Glacier: For the love of Mike, why don't the road men on the East Side get out a plow and a drag, and plow some ditches along in front ot J. L. Carter's place with the aforesaid plow, and drag the dirt and mud into the center of the road with the aiore said drag? The road district has the King drag necessary. All on earth the matter with this stretch of road is drainage, drainage, drainage. Wher ever there is drainage the East Side road is'dry, so 'dry just south of Hans Lage'a that there is actually dust in one place. X his is the time to do it. Why in the name of Mike isn't it done? Why? Who has the answer? What in is the matter? Rancher. Rev. Allen Gives Second Lecture Rev. J. L.

Franz Company GILBERT & DEWITT OFFER SUGGESTIONS For tb information of fruit growers Gilbert & DeWitt have secured from S. W. Foster, entomologist of the Gen eral Chemical Co., the following: SDravin meeestions for use in the Hood River valley to kill leaf roller. aphia eggr, San Jose scale, blister mite, etc.. and lor the control oi fun gus scab, mildew and codling moth on apple trees. 1 Late dormant spray, to kill leaf roller eggs and aphis eggs. Dormant Soluble Oil or Miscible Oil No. 1 dilut ed and mixed with water at the rate of 12 gallons for each 200 gallon tank of spray. Thoroughly cover every part of every tree, especially the terminal buda, fruit spurs and smaller limbs. Hold the nozzles close to the limbs and buda and use machines giving high pressure so that the spray will be driven against the surface of the tree with the : Greatest force. Use large chamber type mist nozzlea with small opening to produce a "mist" or "cov ering spray. Z tarlv.Fink Spraf. for scab con trol. Use 33 degree Beaume (25 per cent sulphur in solution) lime and sul phur solution mixed with water at the rate of 8 gallons for each 200 gallon tank of sprav. covering the entire sur face of the tree, leaf buds and expand ing iruit buds thoroughly. A Calyx Spray. lor scab, mildew and codling moth control. Use the following combination: Lime-suplhur solution 4 gallons Atomic suplhur 12 pounds Arsenate lead paste 8 pounds Water to make 200 gallons. In mixing this combination put the lime and sulphui solution into the tank first and then with the agitator run ning, till the tank about one-half full of water, then put in 12 pounds of Atomic sulphur which has been previously di luted in two or three times its volume of water and when the tank is nearly filled, add the arsenate of lead paste the last thing before spraying. It iB Important that the Atomic sulphur be added at this time in all orchards in fected with mildew or where mildew is likely to cause any trouble. (All fruit growers who expect to use Atomic sul phur at any time during the season should begin at time of calyx spray and combine it with arsenate of lead and lime sulphur solution in order to start stimulation at this time and prevent over stimulation ahd sulphur injury later in tne seasun.) 4 Ten Day Spray. About 10 days after the petals fall an additional ap plication for scab control should be ap plied. Weather conditions will govern, to some extent, the material to be used. If cool, rainy weather prevails at this time, use lime-sulphur solution diluted at the rate of 4 gallons for each 200 gallon tank of spray. If the weather is reasonably clear and warm, use Atomic sulphur at the rate of 24 pounds for each 200 gallon tank of spray, as this material is less likely to injure the fruit and foliage than lime-sulphur so lution under these conditions. 5 Thirty Day Spray. Use the fol lowing combination : Atomic sulphur 24 pounds Arsenate lead paste 8 pounds Water to make 200 gallons. As this is the second -spray for cod ling moth control, the fourth spray for scab control and the final spray, under normal conditions, for mildew control. (If very hot weather prevails at this time, use 20 pounds of Atomic suplhur instead of 24 pounds for each 200 gallon tank). 5a If cool rainy weather prevails between June 10th and 20th make an additional scab spray using Atomic sul phur 10 pounds to 100 gallons of water. 6 Third Codling Moth Spray. This should usually be applied in early Aug ust. Use arsenate of lead paste at the rate of 8 pounds for each 200 gallon tank of spray. Either Atomic sulphur 20 pounds to 200 gallons of water for scab control or Bordeaux mixture paste 6 j pounds to 100 gallons of water or Bordeaux home made 4-4-50, may be combined with the arsenate of lead at this time as further protection against scab and anthracnose development. Properly balanced Bordeaux mixture is safe to use on most varieties of apples at this time and in all orchards where anthracnose is likely to appear, Bor deaux mixture should be used at this time in addition to the early fall appli cation recommended for the control of this disease. Thoroughness Essental for Success. Too much emphasis cannot be put on the necessity for thoroughness and proper timing of this work in every de tail. Fruit growers know by this time what to expect by attempting economy in omitting one or more of these sprays or by delaying the application of same. While the sprayings recommended above will cost something, the amount is in significant compared with the differ ence in the price of scabby and of clean fruit. Furthermore, it must be rea ized that every year will make it more difficult to sell infected fruit at any price. In fact, this will be very largely prohibited the coming year. Another point which cannot be too strongly em phasized is that scab grows and devel ops much faster during coii. damp or wet seasons than it does in hot dry weather. Furthermore, if rainfall is more or less general during the spring months, April and May, the spraying must be even more carefully done and repeated more frequently. All spray ing followed by rain within 24 hours, should be repeated just as soon as pos sible. ' Furthermore, the spray cannot be expected to adhere or stick and give its greatest efficiency if put on wet trees. General Chemical Co., San Francisco Office, S. W.

WOOD'S GROCERY Phone 1221 Retail Groceries at Wholesale Prices Once again we urge you to plan early for more and better fruit and larger returns this Fall by ordering your HARDIE POWER SPRAYERS now. As we stated last week, the car shortage with the railroads is a ser ious problem, and while there are plenty of Hardie Sprayers at the factory, this won't help you when you want to spray. Make it a point to come in this week. Size up all the types of Har die Sprayers on our floor. Decide which size you want. We can meet your requirements, whether you have five or five hundred acres to spray. There will be more spraying done this year than ever has been in the past. This means that if you have been depending on someone else to do your spraying, you are doomed to disappointment. Your protection is to own your own sprayer, and use it the very day you need it. Re member, your neighbor wants to spray the same day that you do, and the first law of human nature being self protection, he is going to protect himself and his crop before he does yours. And you can't blame him. You'd do the same thing. Hardie Sprayers are conceeded universally the leader. You get value in long life and efficient service for every dollar invested. So, we say, order this week. GILBERT & DeWITT leader of the enemy wins the favor of the daughter of one of our high naval officials.
