P. hall Tuesday morning drew notablee of the fruit industry from all parts of the state of Oregon and Washington. The dlscilHslou covering serious prob lems now confronting growers and shippers alike resulted tn a large at tendance of valley orchardlst», and representation was here from Motder and mid-Columbla Washington dis tricta. R. E. Scott represented the chamber of commerce in delivering the address of welcome, and the response was made by President C. A. Reed. The first address of the society cov ered the history of the Clark Seedling strawberry, the only strawberry ever growu la the Hood River Valley. In deed, it was to thia berry, with its shipping qualities, which have never been exceeded, that the Hood River Valley owed its first fame as a fruit- growing section. Mr. Walton cited that Clark Seed- lings bad been grown here commercial ly for 30 years. He, himself, he said, has been growing them for 20 years in the Upper Valley. Mr. Walton point ed out, however, that of late years the yield of the fruit has been falling off and the luxuriant plants of early years were not to be found in the fields of today. The speaker cited various reasons for this slowing down,in production on the part of the Clark Seedling. He showed that in early years the young apple orchard, set to virgin land, was Interplanted with berries. More re- cently, however, berry tracts have been net on old land, which had been some what depleted. Formerly ranchers se cured a yield running up to 300 crates per acre, while today the average yield is only 100 crates. Mr. Walton was not ready to at tribute the poor yields in the main to foe limited new clearings of land. He cited that the Clark Seedling may be running out for the reason that of late years growers setting new tracts have not taken their plants from tw6-year- oid mother plants but rather from one- year-old settings. He also expressed the belief Jhst growers set their plants too close together. Mr. Walton sug gested a distance of 18 to 20 inches. Mr. Walton said that a remedy might be applied from securing new plants from other localities, just as has been found the best practice tn potato growing. He said that hto observa tion of tracts that had been act from imported plants bore out such a eon- elusion, but as yef this had not been definitely established. Mr. Walton suggested as the best practice In strawberry culture the up building of the land with cover crops of clovers and vetch, which should be turned under with a shallow plowing. The matter of topping. Mr. Walton said, was for many years not under stood by him or his nelghbqrs who. however, always practiced it He de clared that he found out the need for this work only two years ago. The root system of a strawberry plant stops growing when the plant finishes pro ducing fruit, and the tops are removed to balance the leaf and root growth. No definite conclusion has ever been reached as to when the tope should be removed. Home growers do the work immediately and others wait's few weeks. Mr. Walton said that strawberries should be heavily cultivated in the fall and that as little as possible should be done in the spring tiecause of the great growth of the roots. Five years ago, according to the Up per Valley strawberry grower, it seemed that the strawberry Industry here was doomed because of root wee vil. But variable results have followed rxi>crltnents of the Oregon and branch experiment stations and others and it Is now indicated that the weevil to on the run. Mr. Walton said, however, that a serious fungus disease to at tacking berry plants In the Upper Val ley. The plants start the seaaoa’s growth with vigor and later the stems and leaves are attacked. They wither and the fruit falls to mature. Japanese growers have met with success, they think, in applying Bordeaux. Mr. Walton said that no cut and dried recommendations can !>e made for fertilising strawberries. Ten years ago the experiment station ascertained that nitrate of soda alone seemed the beat kind of fertiliser. Later it was found that so-called balanced fertil isers of varying types did better work Mr. Walton, as did Gordon G. Brown, who followed him in a comment on strawberries, emphasized the point that there is a need to build up ground to be need for strawberries before plant ing. After the plants are started on depleted soil they fall to respond to any kind of fertilisers. Mr. Walton believes that climatic conditions have much to do with straw berry yield. Formerly, he cited, the winters are long, with late springs Heavy snows prevailed. The harvest of berries extended through after July 4. More recently snows have been light and spring haa opened up early The harvest season has come early and has been short. W. R. Gibson, experienced berry grower, urged that strawberry growers aid In reaching something definite in fertiliser recommendations by making Individual experiments. - An interesting talk on methods of barreling and freezing berries waa given by H. U. Diehl of the bureau of nlant Industry of the United States department of agriculture. Prof. Bchnster aroused the interest, especially of mld-Cblumbla growers, with a comprehensiva talk on cherry culture. Hin sddress follows : Geowing Oerrfas (By O. E.
