MELLON Twelfth Street Editor Glacier: I have been think ing of writing you ever since we fin ished with the apple picking, but have M-<-n so busy that thia is the first op portunity I itave had. It is raining today and I will take the.opportunity to write. I have harvested one of the beat ap ple crop« I have ever raised. There were about 50,000 twixes from 80 aerea of land. All but 800 boxes of Jona thans were Newtowns. There were about 1,000 box«« of miscellaneous varieties that we did not pack, as they were not worth much, and took them direct to the dry-fresh. This com pany has a very large dry-fredh plant of Its own. • The trees on this .place are set 30 feet upart on the nqnare. There are about 300 young trees that are not bearing. You see that makes a pretty good average per tree. They were all picked in lug IxiXea and hauled direct to town. The trucks go right through the orchard and pick them up. Octo- t*er 29 and 30 we picked 12,000 lug l*oxea of apples. October 28, 29 and 30 they hauled out 17,000 boxes from the orchard to town. They had six trutta hauling. Two of them, large Mack trucks with trailers, hauled about 500 boxes esch st a load. There were thrtse unni to the tru«Jt. We also had about 11 tons of Bartletts and Anjoua. The fireblight and codling moth are the worst pesta they have in this coun try. One has to watch the blight con tinually and keep it well trimmed out all through the summer. It does not infect the apples like it does the pears, «MqK-clally the Newtowns. The codling uioth is very bad here. The most of the grower« do not «ee»u to have any regular time for spraylug and are not very thorough. A great many of them uso the old fashioned rods. Last year on thia place they had nlfout 36,000 boxes with 06% worms. Two years ago with about 15,000 boxes they had about 65% worms. This y««r with six sprays, one spray lost, we had not to exceed 10% worms. We used a Bean «pray machine, bought this spring. The machine has two double noxzle guns. We use from 300 to 350 iMiund« of pressure. We also had one Bean sprayer bought three years ago. The growers put on from six to ulne sprays here. One grower told me he put on nine sprays last year and had a little more than D0% worms. They mlw fine pears here. Bartlett, Winter Nellis, Anjou and Bose are the chief varieties. Mort of them take good care of their trees, such aa «ean-hing for blight, pruning and fertilizing. Most all the fruit raised in this valley is hauled to the warehouses and packed. They have no precooling at all. They have several large warehouses. We like it here very much and ex pect to make our home hers. Every thing seems to be very prospsrons. The growers are all making some money, land is going up. Therd is lota Of Improving and Medford is growing fast. Buildings going up all over the city. We all get lonesome for Hood River and Hood Rives people. We lived there so long that It is more like home to, ds. Yours truly, lise F. Smith. ADOPTS SURVIVOR OF WRECK The sun is shining again for little Evelyn Castle, >, of Harrisburg, whoso father aad aMMber »tare kilted last August when the automobile in which they wtmt .riding was struck by a railroad train.
