Experience with Fruit Pests.
On Tuesday last our fruit reporter
took a run down tho road to look
over tho extensive nursery of J. II.
Settlemier, of Woodburn. The' re
sult of his visit is partially told
elsewhere. Rut our space- and de
scriptive powers are too. limited to
tell it all. That visit was a pleasure
no lover of nature could fail to en
joy. Tho nursery was originally
started by its present owner in '03,
and just enough of tho original
grafts have been allowed to remain
to beautify the grounds and furnish
fruit, cuttings and seed. Thus tho
purchaser of either shade, fruit or
nut trees, who may be a novice, can
have a full grown sample of many of
the varieties, to examio and com
pare. The advantage of this, par
ticularly with shade and ornament
al trees, shrubs and vines, is incal
culable. To walk once more be
neath the shell-bark hickory of our
boyhood days, the linden, the elm
and the chestnut, made us homesick,
and nearly caused us to miss tlie
train.
Believing our readers would be in
terested in learning something of
tho views of Mr. Settlemier on
grafting and other points, we
pneu mm witll questions and re
ceived substantially such
informa-i
tionas follews:
The healthfulncss of a fruit tree
depends in a great measure upon
the nature of the stock upon which
it is grafted. The stock, we will
explain for the beuellt or those who
don't know already, is the root into
which is grafted a scion selected
from some well known tree. The
graft, usually inserted near the sur
face of tho ground, sends up a shoot
which becomes tho tree. Sprouts
from tho stock, below the graft, will
bo an injury, and for this reason
peach roots are perferred for plum
and prune trees, as they do not
sprout. Tho plum roots are intoler
able nuisances in an orchard be
cause of this tendency. But an
other reason why the peach root is
preferred, is its hardiness. A peach
tree may winter-kill above ground;
but the years may como and the
years may go, the root lives on for
ever. The pencil plum Is not a healthy
tree in some localities in Oregon, but
Mr. S. has demonstrated its health-
fulness where grafted on a hardshell
almond body, leaving some two feet
of stock. The great valuo of tho
peach plum makes it a desirable sort
to propagate; but its tendency to
disease has kept it tho back ground.
Is this not a solution of tho evil.
Tlio peach stock is adapted to
light, dry soil. For wet or adobe
land it is not good. Tlio Myrabo
lan, a wild plum of bouthern France,
is altogether better. It does not
"sucker" and is perfectly adapted
for heavy soils that are impervious
to water. Keep this fact in mind,
and if you have soils of this nature
upon which to sot out prunes or
plums, insist upon your nurseryman
supplying you trees grafted upon
Myrabolan stocks. If you cannot
secure them, put pears in their
place. Pears will grow almost nny
place whoro willows thrive.
Cherries should bo grafted upon
black Muzzard stocks. Our bout
cherry, tho Royal Ann, is not ho
hardy a treoas some, but when thus
grafted, does well with Mr. S. lie
usos tlio black Mazzard exclus
ively. An experiment of Seth
Llowellyn's, nuido over tw&nty-five
years ugo, Ingrafting cherries upon
wild stocks, may bo interesting. He
grafted or budded his scion near the
ground, letting the stock remain
xomotwo feet high. When the graft
sunt up its shoot iarnlloI witll the
Htook they were united at the' top
and only the graft ullowed to coir
tiiiueou and form the branches.
Tills nnulen tree wit Ji u double body,
tho two parts being kept separate ex
cept at the top ami bottom where
they were united. The point of In
tercut Ik that the wild body htw far
outetript tho tHine, proving lu better
adaptation for the nuriMMe. Mr. Set-
tlemier nukes it a rule tu grow moat
of his grafts on full roots, Instead of
seetiono, as is usually done. Tho ad
vantage is obvious.
TUB KAVOKITEVABIWriKS
hi one section may prove failures In
another. For instance, the Spitnon
berg and Yellow Newtown Pippin
are the favorite in Southern Oregon,
yet tho latter does but poorly with
most of us In this valley, seldom be
ing a nice plump apple, free from
blemish. The Spitzenberg is a grand
good apple here, but Is not nearly
so prolific a some other varieties.
The green Baldwin is probably tho
bet apple we have got for this local
ity. It Is a very prolific bearer, and
does not dry rot like the red Bald
win. It is better llavored also, and
keeps as late as the Spitzenberg.
The Italian prune is conceded by
Mr. S. to be the best, yet tho Petite
has its friends, being more proUlle,
and more easily dried on account of
its size.
Peaches have only ono serious
drawback in this part of Oregon,
the diease known as tho "curled
leaf." This Is all duo to the fact
that the peach gets up too early in
the morning. In other words it
leafs out in the spring too soon for
our climate. The moisture nxceud-
inct'throughthccapillary;tubesenters
the leaf and remains there; whereas
it should merely deposit the food it
has brought from the eartli to tho
leaf, and be absorbed by tho warm
rays of the sun. But usually the
air is charged with moisture early In
the spring and refuses to relievo tho
overcharged leaf of its burden. The
result La it continues to receive but
fails to throw oil the surplus moist
ure, becomes two or three times as
thick as tho natural leaf, sickens,
curls up and dies. The limbs be
come bare, mid die for want of leaves.
Who can suggest a means whereby
tho leaf is retarded until the air is
dry enough to cleanse the tree's sys
tem? By the way, all this sounds
strangely analogous to a description
ot liver and skin diseases in a patent
lucdlcinc ad.
Tin: ciiKBiiy sr.uo
gets rough treatment at the hands of
Mr. Settlemier. It is a little snail
paced green slug, one-third of an inch
long, or less, is readily detected by
its slimy appearance, and the ap
pearance oftho leaf upon which it
feeds. It seldom kills a tree, but
injures It greatly. It sometimes at
faoks'iho pear. Tlio treatment here
given, is to put a quart of air-slacked
llmo in a small hand gunny sack,
and thoroughly dust tho young tree
just after a rain, or early lu tho
morning. Tho moisture on tho
leaf catches the lime, into which
Mr. Slug madly dashes to his un
timely death, though usually killed
instantly by tho thing lime. Ex
amine your young cherry trees, and
apply tho remedy if they are In
fected. INSHTTJNO OUT TIIKUB,
Mr. Settlomipr favors putting apples
thirty-six foot apart each way with
prunes intervening, viz: In the
llrnt row place apples and prunes
alternately. Second.row, all prunes.
Third row same as lirst, and so on.
By the time tho apples are grown
tho pi lines will bo past their useful
ness and can bo cut out.
The Town of Woodliuru
Is beautifully situated oil an ele
vated plane, in full view of tlio snow
peaks of tho Cascade range of
mountains, alo in full vlow of Mt.
Ranlor and Mt. Adams. No better
place could have beun chosen as a
site for an Inland town. Tho ele
vated plane on which tho town is
built, Is well adapted for drainage,
thus insuring health to the inhabi
tants. The soil is of tho rich black
loam, and who ovor plants a vino
hero will oat of its abundant fruit.
Tho buildings are all neatly con
structed, now and freah in appear
ance, and seem to retlect the charac
ter of tlio inhabitants. Woodburn
needs up inflated booms to iuvuroits
prosperity ; it will bo a town of no
small ImporlNuou.

After a sharp debute yesterday lu
the house of assembly at Pudding
River it whs decided to appoint
Ilemlow and Hull as general pur
veyors for Marion county. Why?
Because they are so very uniform in
their priow, and because they have,
in opening a fruit cannery in Wood
burn, storied an Industry which
promise to benefit the fanners more
than firing two cents per down
