A DANGEROUS PRACTICE
Unless parties of automobilists who
come to Hood Rirer observe the law
and refrain from making Cascade ave
nue a speedway, summary arrests and
drastic punishment should follow. No
street in town, perhaps, has a greater
traffic. Because of the long straight
stretch of smooth hard surface, fool
hardy drivers apparently are unable to
resist the temptation of hitting her up,
Many small children reside on Cascade
avenue, and unless the speeding prac
tice is discontinued Hood River will
probably mourn a sad tragedy. City
authorities should bring about a strict
enforcement of the law before an acci
dent occurs.
i Last Sunday Cascade avenue real
dents were startled not only to see
many cars dashing by at a furious
speed, a speed that easily might have
resulted in a collision, had a car
emerged from one of the numerous side
streets into Cascade simultaneously
with the passage of the speeding ma
chine, but motorist actually engaged in
daredevil races. With a ridiculously
noisy horn, sounding continuoulsy, a
little Ford flew down the avenue.faster
than the spectators had any idea a
Ford could travel.
A NOTABLE EVENT
Says a Washington dispatch :
The national capital in wartime
throws open its arms this week to wel
come the survivors of the Confederate
Army which sought to capture it more
than half a century ago. Gray-clad
veterans of the great war between the
states will march up Pennsylvania ave
nue this morning through a court of
honor and past the White House, in
front of which they will be reviewed by
the President of the United States.
This is a notable event, a material
evidence of a reunited America and
harking us back to a half century ago,
when out of the dark turmoil of inte
necine strife our country emerged
purged and ready for a closer welding.
And we are made to remember that all
the wars of the United States have
been for the rights of humanity and
democracy. In the light of a half cen
utry the veriest Johnny Reb sees that
the Lost Cause could not have right
fully terminated otherwise. The wear
er of the Blue and he of the coat of
Gray will meet with hand clasps at
the nation's capital this week, and
there will be no ill feeling. If all the
youth of the land could but sense the
spirit that will prevail there we would
scarcely have need for conscription.
America has no man more virile than
Theodore Roosevlt. Breathing of red
blood his recent sayings have done
much to Are the patriotism of the
country. Last week with the emphasis
that can best be described by calling
it Rooseveltian, Teddy declared that a
man can not have two countries any
more than he can have two wives.
From the cold, scientific standpoint of
army experts it may have been unwise
to permit Roosevelt and his proposed
volunteers to go to France, but we
wonder if the President did not fail to
realize the great psychological effect
the sending of such a detachment
would have had. Of course, the need
of a great trained army, in the assist
ance of our honored allies, is immeas
urable. Yet the spirit that Roosevelt
and hia volunteers would have instilled
might have recreated the armies of
France. Fired by the appearance of
Teddy, the poilu might have become a
superman, from whose onslaught the
machine-men armies of the Kaiser
would have fled.
In the appointment of Judge Chas.
L. McNary as United States senator to
succeed Harry Lane, Governor Withy
combe has done Oregon a notable ser
vice. Judge McNary by his inherent
abilities and his training is peculiarly
fitted for the tasks he will be called on
to perform. He is of progressive ten
dencies, but not of the radical type.
He is a fluent speaker, and yet not the
man who talks just because he can roll
out high sounding words. We predict
for him a career of which Oregon will
be proud.
While we believe as does Prof. Gib
son that there is no necessity for the
boys of Hood River county to enlist in
the mobile army of laborers, if the
boys, even though they are employed
on their father's fruit tracts wish to
get government credit for their work,
they should see Prof. Gibson and register.
We are mighty proud of our efficient
corps of volunteer fire fighters, and in
the municipal water system we have a
most valuable asset. It alarms us to
contemplate what might have been the
result of last Friday morning's fire,
bad enough at best, without the fire
lads and their efficient water system
weapon.
Have you learned how to get the
maximum production out of a backyard
garden? The secret lies in this plan,
plant a seed every time you pull some
thing up.
Join the Red Cross and then do all
within your financial ability toward
swelling the funds of the great human
itarian organization.

ROSE FESTIVAL TO
BE VERY PATRIOTIC
Innumerable Flags, thousands of
yards ol bunting and myriad electric
globes in red, white and blue are being
collected for the decoration of fort
land's principal thoroughfares during
the 1917 Rose Festival, June 13, 14 and
15. In addition a number of electric
ally illuminated American Flags,
which cost half a thousand dollars each
are being shipped from the east for
erection at the principal street inter
sections. The festival directors are bending
every effort toward making the 1917
Festival one of the biggest patriotic
demonstrations in the Northwest's
history, and thousands of dollars will
be spent in carrying through the
patriotic idea in street decorations.
A large force of men is now em
ployed in casting the 60 foot statue of
Liberty, which will be erected in the
Uourt or fatnotism at Jr estival center,
The head of the statue, which is as
high as an ordinary man, has already
been completed. The entire statue
will be completed within the next two
weeks.
How to Treat Winter Kill
By Leroy Childs
Die-back, or so-called "winter kill'
of apple and pear trees is a common
disorder In many orchards of the val
ley this Spring. The term "die-back"
has been adopted in many sections of
the country for this trouble and it
is more appropriate than the old
name of "winter kill." winter con
ditions have nothing to do with fully
1)0 per cent of the trees that have
failed to throw out normal foliage,
and for this reason the term was
very confusing, especially so as it
sounds much like the term "winter
injury." Winter injury is a term us
ed for mechanical disorder of the
tree brought about by freezing and
thawing. Our commonest form of
winter injury is manifested in the
form of a severe splitting of the
trunk, usually on the southwest side
of the tree.
Die-back, for the most part, is the
result of mis-treatment of the tree
during Summer and can be prevented
by proper irrigation only. By irriga
tion is meant the maintaining of a
uniform moisture condition of the
soil during the growing season of the
treo. Each orchardist must deter
mine the condition of the sol' at in
tervals during the Summer; different
soils demand different treatment.
This determination can be made on
ly by digging to a depth of three or
four feet with a shovel or by using
the soil augur at rather close inter
vals (not to exceed three weeks dur
ing the growing season.)
The cause which produces a di
seased tree suffering from die-back
has not been completely proved from
an experimental standpoint. Obser
vations of all workers, however,
seem to indicate that it is the burn
ing off of the root hairs or root feed
ers. Root hairs are the tender wat
ery rootlets soft and extremely de
licateby whose aid the plant draws
food and water from the soli. These
root hairs are very sensitive to heat
and drought and if the soil even
though it be for a few days only
is permitted to become thoroughly
dried out, these small rootlets are
killed, resulting in a tree suffering
from die-back the following Spring.
Increasing soil fertility and ne
glecting the proper irrigation of the
trees will work havoc in our or
chards unless more attention is giv
en to the proper use of water. By
increasing fertility the number of
root feeders is increased. The tree
responds to this stimulus, forming a
vigorous top which requires much
moisture to maintain in a normal
condition. If this supply of root
feeders is all wiped out at one time,
the tree undergoes a tremendous
shock and the transpiration, which
occurs in the portion of the tree
above ground quickly drains the tree
of available moisture and food. Most
trees suffering from die-back make a
slight growth in the Spring. This
feeble start consumes all of the stor-ed-up
food and moisture and as there
are no more root feeders to supply
more food and moisture, growth
stops. The result is that the tree
dies back until it can reorganize its
feeding system.
There are a good many orchards in
ti.e valley which are just on the edge
of a die-back condition. A close ob
server can detect this condition by a
few simple warnings given out by
the trees before a serious condition
has been reached. The writer has
observed three which have proven
good indicators and which are
worthy of consideration. (1) Trees
which have burned badly in the de
layed dormant spray. (2) Dying and
dropping of the fruit buds (before
the pink stage is reached) on trees
that appear fairly vigorous. (3)
Premature yellowing and dropping of
foliage in early Fall. All of these
indicators could be due to some
other disorder than drought, but as a
general rule drought condition could
be suspected.
We are now more than 10 inches
behind in normal rainfall and for this
reason irrigation should be started
at once, especially in the orchards
that are in cover crops.
This article has been written in
the hope that it might bring to the
grower the serious results that will
continue it irrigation is neglected.
During the past two years this ne
glect has cost Hood River many
trees and many thousands of dol
lars. Unlike some of our plant di
seases and insect pests, remedial
measures lie in the hands of the or
chardist and of him alone. This re
medy is the proper use of water.
In the near future the writer will
submit a few suggestions for the
handling of trees that have become
so diseased.

Steinhardt Optimistic
Joseph H. Steinhardt, of the New
York fruit firm, of Steinhardt & Kelly,
here Tuesday making a survey of the
year's fruit yield, left a better feeding
among growers and Association offici
als when he said that he expected the
movement of apples to market and
their distribution to be normal.
"Food Administrator Hoover's an
nouncement that apples are food ought
to be enough to satisfy you growers,"
said Mr. Steinhardt, and let me tell
you that you are going to have plenty
of cars. Take my advice and continue
to raise extra fancy, and you won't
have to go out of business for la?k of
profit."

OUPPOSE you are thinking of paying up to
$1200 for a car. For that same amount you
can not only buy a Grant Six but you will have
left more than enough to buy gasoline and tires
for three years.
For the average man the Grant Six is the sensible car to

will do anything and go anywhere that is possible with a car
costing several hundred dollars more.
On November 5, 1916, a stock Grant Six made a 1000-mile non
