Experiments of the Oregon Expert ment Station in pollenzation of cher ries, conducted the past spring, have directed the eyes of cherry growers in all parts of the Pacific Coast to The Dalles, where the experts worked. Data of inestimable value was eath ered. Prof. Schuster had charge of the experiments. He says he will require another year before making his an nouncements definite. The experiments have brought out one fact strongly that Bing, Lambert ana Koyal Ann cherries are both self sterile and inter-sterile. Out of 3,713 blossoms of these varieties tested for self-etenhty, the setting of only one half of one per cent was obtained. The first stage of the experiments in blossoming time, was emasculation of the blooms except the pistils, which were pollenized bv hand with camel's hair brushes. A total of 48,000 in dividual blossoms was treated in this way. After treating, the experts en closed the blossoms in paper bags, and allowed them so to remain until the fruit had set Tests for determining inter sterility on the three chief com mercial varieties of cherries showed ieiiuization oi out iour-tentns ol one per ecnt. rrof. Schuster then set out too de termine just what varieties would be best suited in orchards of Bings. Lam beit 8 and Royal Anns for fertilizing the blooms and bringing about a set of iruit. rollen from every known van ety ana a number of seedlings was used. The data given below shows the results obtained by Prof. Schuster. In this table the variety pollenized is listed at the top followed by the vari eties used as pollenizers in groups with the percentage of fertility for all cnemes listed at the head : Lambert Ud to 16 per cent.

The Elton was first as a pollenizer for the Bing and Lambert divisions and pollenized from 21 to 30 per cent in the Royal Ann division. Black Republicans, highly prized as pollenizers because of their market ability were in the 31 to 40.8 class for Koyal Anns and 33 to 48 for Lamberts, but they were in the 0 to 10 per class for Bings. Prof. Schuster emphasized that acci dent may have rendered the findings inaccurate and declared that a further year's checking would be necessary for verification, lie emphasized that sea sonal changes might have an effect and that later experiments might prove that, to have a bumper crop each year. it would be necessary to have polleniz ing trees of several varieties. "The horticultural bureau of The Dalles Chamber of Commerce aided with financing the recent experiments John R. Norton Sunday won the singles finals in the annual tournament of the Benedict Tennis Club. Mr. Norton and his opponent, Frank A. Cram, played more than three hours. rJach bad won two sets, wiin Air, Norton leading in the fifth set, Mr. Cram was seized with cramps in bis legs and was unable to continue the game.
