OUR FRUIT OVERS.

The San Jose Mercury pays
high tribute to the energy, inttelli-
renee and scientific attainnents OF
the fruit growers of California, as
displayed in recent state conven-
ton held in that state. But 1t is
only in recent years that California
has made such rapid strides in sue
esssful fruit culture, and, while the
fruit growers Of Oregon have not
attained the high standard Claimed
by the ir brett r,n in California,
they are approaching that degree
of practical excellence, with COM
mendable zeal. Never before in
the history of the state has such
deep interest been taken, in scien-
tific and intelligent fruit culture,
than at this very time. But the
work has only begun, Fruit grow
ing in Oregon is yet in its infancy,
and many valuable experiments
will yet be made before it attains
the zenith of successful effort.
There is yet much to be done IN
the development of our orchards.
Oregon has the climate and soils
admirable adapted for fruit cul-
ture, intelligent experiments and
application will work wonders. 1t
does not pay to cultivate inferior
varieties of fruits on our soils,
when the same labor will produce
many fold better results with the
best adapted varieties.
While advances are being made
by energeric orchardists, it is also
a lamentable fact that many farm
ers plant orchards and do dot prop
erly cultivate them, leaving the
trees to become diseased through
carelessness. and pests are hatched
that find their way to the orchards
of the thrifty horticulturist, thus
causing needless annoyance that
could be avoided. Again, another
element in the way of progress i'll
fruit CULTURE, is the practice of al
lowing old orchards to stand un-
pruned, the fruit falling and rot
ting on the ground, breeding pests
and disease germs that are carried
to young and thrifty orchards.
1t would be far better for fruit
growing interests if these old or
chards were cut down or burned.
instead OF remaining and eyesore
to the community. All these
things are great drawback to
fruit growing in Oregon, and should
be remcdied. The thrifty orchard,
list should not be allowed to suffer
ON account of the carelessness and
shiftless habits of his neighbors.

THE Oregonian complains tha

The Oregonian complains that
Oregon farmers have not reported
Oh the results of the sugar beet
seed sent out by the department
of agriculture. While this is no
doubt true, the agricultural col
lege experiment station at this
place have made thorough tests of
the sugar beet, raised in this vi
cinity and nearly every county in
the state, and in a bulletin issued,
gave a result of their varied ex-
periments showing that these beets
could be successfully raised in Or
egon, especially the western and
southern part of the state. Their
published results show that the
beets raised i'll Oregon contain
from II to q per cent. of sugar,
and will compare fayorabiy with
any raised in the sugar beet dis
trict of California or other states.
The GAZETTE suggests that one of
these bulletins be sent to the ag-
ricultural department at Washing
ton, then they will have no cause
to complain of not having reliable
figures on the quality of sugar
beets grown in Oregon.

The work of the canyassing
boards upon the recent election
returns seem to be extremity slow.
Our own state has not yet made
out the official returns, and speak
ingof California, Thursdays Chron-
icle says the long time consumed
in canyassing the votes OF San
Francisco gives people an object
lesson in the uncertainty of cleo
ton figures. When the COM
mission ceased its labors on Ia
bors on Tuesday evening they had
counted 32,572 votes, and Cleye-
land was only 5445 ahead. As
the remaining districts to be can
vassed are composed of a larger
proportion OF republican than dem
ocratic precincts it is probable that
the democratic plurality in San
Francisco will not be as great as
first claimed. If it falls by low
$500 it will be an open question
until the vote is canvassed by the
state board, which patty has car
ried California. and is net at al
improbable that the electora
ticket of the state will be a mixet
one, owing to the fact that many
voters scratched certain electors
Harrison's plurality in the interior
with all counties heard from, ane
all but four officially, is 645l, SO i
will be seen that the race is a clos,

WHO ever heard of such thing
as a coffin trusts One would think
that syndicates, combines and
trusts surely had a limit, as, we
are told, all things mortal have
(what is it old Horace says9) but
it now seems they extend TO the
very grave itself, thank goodness,
they cannot 70 beyond it. 1t is a
fact that the undertakers and cof-

sort, and though 1t would seem
THAT these two had surely a

they have determined 10 fight all
competition, that is if the laws
there will let them. We may be
dense on this subject, but we fail
to see who they propose to fight.
At last the undertakers have found
an answer to the question, "Oh,
death, where is thy sting?," The
sting is that a poor fellow i'll his
last sad moments Oh earth; when
all his thoughts should be concen-
trated Oil the uncertain pilgrim
age he is about to commence, still
is confronted with the horrible
thought that a "trust" is going to

dead, no matter how successful he
had been in evading them as long
as he Iiyed.-Mobile News. 1t is
a fact nevertheless, that trust

years ago by the undertakers OF
Portland, and they all sell their
goods at uniform figure.

The faculty of the agricultural
college have just held two success
ful formers Institutes, one at New
berg and the other at Brownsville.
These Institutes are becoming
more and more appreciated by the
farming community, and their
sphere of usefulness is widening.
They give a new impetus to agri-
cultural pursuits, and are valu-
able medium for the exchange of
ideas between the farmers and the
professors Of the agricultural col
lege and experiment station.
Hence, both are benefited by
these conferences Of a social ma
ture.
