THE DECREASE IN APPLE TREES
On the heels of the big Oregon apple
boom, which resulted in failures in
many districts unadapted to the grow
ing of fruit, one heard discussed in
nearly every hotel lobby, in stores and
office rooms the problem of overpro
duction of apples. The pessimists pre
sented Hlmoiit irrefutable evidence that
Oregon Rnd Washington would soon
be growing more than enough apples
to feed the worki. And there was an
other brand of pessimists, even in
those days, at least many character
ized them as knocking pessimists, who
nroohesied that it would take but few
years for much of the newly planted
apple trees to revert to grain farms.
Time has proven the latter class of
pessimists as right. Travel over many
portions of eastern Oregon and Wash
ington and note the dying'apple orch
ards. If you will go up to Dufur in
Wasco county, you will behold the evi
dences of a tragedy of the Oregon ap
ple boom. A duplication of the Dufur
disappointment is seen at Ortley.
Even in the most tried and proven ap
ple sections, some of the land is unfit
for commercial orchards. You will
find examples of this even here in
Hood River.
But all of these unpleasant facts
should be taken as an encouragement
by the orchardist who is confident that
he owns an orchard planted on land
adapted to fruit culture, ttrnt is, if he
is determined to pursue methods of sci
entific cultivation.
An interesting article recently ap
peared in "Successful tanning," pub
lisher! in Des Moines, la. This publi
cation says in part :
If a single decade shows a decrease
of 'M per cent in the number of bear
ing apple trees, how many years will
it be before no one will eat apples?
If course, the day when there will be
no apples will never come as lung as
the enow. Out in the Odell

and business buildings may
flat roofs, and yet these roofs
made sufficiently strong to
maximum snow ran. iei
inot see why some of out rural
ty schools could not be made just
jutiful by the adoption of some
of architecture that would call
for a steeply pitched roof. Such plans
would eliminate worry and expense.
Flat roofs invariably leak, in case of
snowstorms.
As for the private home, the bunga
low typo of dwelling for this part of
Oregon is bungleome indeed. If you

TEACHING OREGON HISTORY
As was revealed last spring when

and girls of the Apple Valley have the

quently, to present the
their study in language,

Historical Society, which will

Hut then why should not some
or girl win the top
trie taste or people lor nun remains
the same as today, but the fourteenth
census has some figures that ought to
be eye openers to the man with a
thought for the future. It is hard to
realize that today there are 2.'i.H per
cent fewer bearing apple trees than
there were in 1 910, yet according to
the 1112(1 census figures, it is a fact.
In 191(1 there were over 161,000,000
trees wur.in me Dounuanes or. our
United States; in 11120 there were a
little over 115,000,000,
And that is not all. In HMD there
were almost H0.(MKt,(KM) young apple
trees not yet bearing; in 1U20 there
were a few more than 8,000,000, Some
thing certainly must have happened to
these. It certainly looks like someone
is going to do without apples, or pay a
long price for them if they are to be
had at all. The law of supply and de
mand will turn the trick one of these
line days in the not too distant future.
Then the man who has the goods to
sell will have the inside track. Hut
that is for the commercial orchardist.
The fellow 1 am thinking about right
now is the man who says it is cheaper
to raise corn and buy his fruit. In the
face of the growing scarcity of fruit
through lack of care of the orchard, is
it? Will it be cheaper 10 years from
now?

great scope fur some gltted boy and
girl. Data is available, if the stu

esting may such paper be made, as the
young student traces development of
the Oregon"country from the time that
Lewis and ('lark, led by the Indian
maiden, set their way in awe and won
der down the gorge of Wauna, on down
to the time of the earliest steamboat
to ply the current of the great north
western waterway! The study that
such contest will instill will result in
an appetite for a greater knowledge
for the incidents of pioneer days. It
will breed a greater reverence for the
attainments of the commonwealth,
which grew out of early day hardships.

behind the Toke Point leaders, but
with 51 more games to play that is not
a heavy margin to overcome. C, W.

and "Mac" came through with live in
a row for a 205 game right when the

FILTHY READING MATTER
The general public is altogether, too
indifferent to the immoral effects that
may be left by the reading of some
of the suggestively filthy publications
that are available to young and old
alike. School boys and school girls
are said to be drifting toward a per
verted sense of humor from too much
reading of the low order of witticisniH.
When young girlhood, where we look
for inspiring purity, is besmirched by
familiarity with obscene jokes that
may wall have had their orgin in a
tenderloin burlesque, it is time for
parents to lift themselves from a
status that they may consider a toler
ance of modern times but which in
reality is a lethargic, moral laziness.
