INCREASE OF PEAR ACREAGE INDICATED While no activity in the development of new apple orchards is displayed here, many growers have planned on setting increased pear acreage the coming year. Bearing pear orchards that were properly sprayed, cultivated and fertilized the past several years showed greater prolit than apples. In suggestions to growers planning pear plantings, Gordon G. Brown recom mends that settings be limited to the following standard varieties, Bartletl, Anjou, Bosc, Winter Nellis and Corn ice. More than f0 per cent of the fruit grown here at present is of the llartlctt variety. The Anjous, how ever, thrive, and have returned grow ers large pro (its.

ROAD BOND PLANS HI-ID IN ABEYANCE While a strong sentiment has devel oped in Hood River county for a pro posed issue of bonds for the construc tion of permanent highways, it was decided Friday night at meeting of the legislative committee of the Hood River County Pomona grange, h simi lar committee of the Commercial club, the county court and representative citizens, to leave the matter of definite plans in abeyance until a final and definite interpretation is placed on action of the legisat'.ire. Interest in road bonds was aroused as a result of agitation before the legislature for a constitutional amend ment that will increase the two per cent limit now placed on bonded in debtedness. As such a measure, if adopted bv the legislature, will have to be approved by the vote of the people, it was decided at the meeting that any present definite plans would be premature. II. R. CREAMERY GETS HONORS FOR STATE RED CROSS CANTEEN DANCE APPROACHES Complimenting soldiers, sailors and marines just back from service, the canteen committee will give a ball on the evening of Saturday, March 8 Service men are returning daily and with the arrival here by that date of members of the 65th Artillery, now in process of being mustered out at Camp Lewis, it is expected that trie big ball room at Heilbronner hall will be crowded with men in uniform. While no charge will be made men in uniform, all others participating will be admitted by fee, and all pro ceeds will go to a fund for purchasing fruit and other provisions to be used by the canteen committee in greeting troops aboard passing trains. COMMERCIAL CLUB READY FOR BANQUET Everything is in readiness for the big annual Commercial club banquet next Wednesday night in honor of the State Highway Commission. Accept ances have been received from all the notable guests of honor. These include Simon Benson, W. H. Thompson and R. A. Booth, of the Highway Commis sion, State Highway Engineer Herbert Nunn, Dr. Hewes and Messrs. Cecil and Sherrard, of the forestry -department ; Julius Meier, regional director of national highways for Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana,' George Joseph, one of the prime mov ers in the Mount Hood Loop Highway, J. B. Yeon. Amos Bunfon, Rufus Hoi man, president of the Multnomah county board of commissioners, and Frank Branch Riley, main speaker of the evening, who will also show his wonderful pictures of the scenic beauties of the Northwest which cre ated such a furore in Die east last year where he was traveling in the inter Manager Black has just received word that winnings of the Hood River Creamery materially aided Oregon creamerymen in bringing back from the Boise, Ida., creamery display a cup for the best exhibit of butter. The creameries of Albany and Norway were respectively first and second w ith the butter exhibits at Boise. Hood River stood third. If the local cream ery had scored two-tenths of one per cent higher on water and one-tenth on salt, its score would have headed the list by a half per cent. Mr. Black is highly elated over the results of the show, for the exhibit butter was not specially prepared, but whs taken at random from a churning of about f00 pounds. It shows, he says, that Hood River, just as with her orchardists, does all things in the best possible manner. Last vear Hood Kiver won first honors at a creamery show at North Yakima. In the opinion of Gordon G. Brown and numerous fruit growers, the horti cultural interests of Oregon have heen hegligtnt in not securing protection for bees in orchard districts. Mr. Brown believes that the state should have ore or more in.pecors, men familiar with apiculture, who should thoroughly inspect all hives at stated periods. Bees are legally protected, it is stated, m most of the fruit growing states of the I'nited States and m Canadian provinces, where horticulture is a leading enterprise. As a result of irfectious diseases scores of orchardists in the valley have lost all of their bees, according to W. R. Gibson. "1 formerly lied in a ('(dorado fruit section," says Mr. Gibson, "and there, when a hive of bees died from disease, the hive and all old comb were hi rned. Here I notice that orchardists, where their bees have died, throw open the old hives, which attract the liees of neighbors. The insects thus spread the (iisease and as a result of this carelessness the orchard. sts are fast losing their best allies. Bees rii'ist be had in orchards, if pollonization is reg ular. The most serious disease 1 have found here is the so railed foul brood. it is deadly. "The bees of the Hood River valley ire being exterminated simply because the most of the orchardists who are trying to raise them are ignorant of method of their care. As a result of the misfortunes with their first few hives, many apple growers have be come discouraged and have given up trying to raise the inserts, so vitally needed in scattering pollen." While it is too late to secure legisla tion at this session of the legislature, representatives of experiment station and growers who are interested in the increase of apiaries will endeavor to conduct a campaign of education for the purpose of eliminating the disease. While prominent orchardists declare that, bees will return orchardists a profit in increased fruit yield, even Uvugh no honey is secured, many growers, who understand apiculture have realized handsome profits the past few years from their honey crops. RED CROSS KNITTERS CALLED TO WORK Orders have just been sent to all Chapters by the Washington headquar ters of the American Red Cross, call ing for a resumption of knitting by all Red Cross knitters. The articles called for are stockings, sweaters and muf flers for children, and shawls for women, refugees of France, Belgium and Italy. Owing to the Commercial club ban quet next Wednesday night, the local Red Cross for nest week w ill all be confined to Woman's Club day on Fri day, 'those who have been working on Wednesdays arr therefore urged to attend on Friday. An eironeoiis impression has been created of late in Red Cross circles that Red Cross work was likely to be discontinued almost any time. Advice from headquarters urge Chapters to correct this impression at. once. Following this the local Chapter has just received instruction from division headquarters in Seattle as follows: "We have orders from Washington to continue refugee garments at full speed for the next four months to sup plement work J hat in being done by the wr.rr.cR the;;.; i Ives in Europe in their efforts to supply adequate clothing." ON THE HIGHWAY The first shot on the Hood River Mosier extension of the Columbia River Highway was fired Friday morn ing just east of this city, where a crew of rock men were engaged in drilling for blasts that a-e lifting hun dreds of tons of rock and debris off the side of the Hood River gorge. Steam shovels have been brought to the work, and the debris will he cleared away rapidly. Completing for mal process of securing the right of ,way for the new stretch of road, the board of viewers finished an investiga ion of the .way last week. , Musical Department (Jives Program The meeting of the Woman's club yesterday afternoon was turned over to the members of the musical depart ment. A recital was given' by Mrs. Ralph Root and Miss tiith Woodcock. Mr. E. D. Kanaga had charge of the interesting program. BIG BONDING ACT PLEASES HOOD RIVER Without exception, all business in terests of Hood River heard to com ment on the action of the legislature,,, in voting the $10,000,000 road bonding act, express delight. Local citizens, however, are wroth with Mrs. Alexan der Thompson, one of the five members of the House who opposed the meas ure. It is likely, judging from com ment, that both numerous individuals and organizations will ask Mrs. Thompson for an explanation of her vote. COMMITTEE BUSY . ON AUTO PARK Accepting an offer made by ('has. T. Early to donate to the city a Bite for a nark for use of motor tourists a committee of citizens has been investi agting property along the Highway west of the city, Mr. Early makes his gift contingent on the auto park being located on the Highway. The committee consists of J. H. Fredriry, Al ( ruikshank, J. O. Hun num. C. A. Bell, M. M. Hill and D. McDonald. Mr. Early, in case the committee does not find other suitable location, offers to deed to the county a plot of ground just cast of Hood River on the boat, road. 69TII MAY COME BY HOOD RIVER The With Regiment may be routed to Camp Lewis by way of Hood River.
