Farmers Institute at Wasco.

Editor TINES -MoUNrANEkR:
One of the best and largest farmers in
stitutes ever held in the state of Oregon has
Just closed two days session here. We
give below brief sketch OF the proceed
ings:
May l2th-Institute called to order by
Chairman John Medler at 10 A. M. Pro-
gramme opended with full chorus, "Row-
ing Against the Tide" by the choir. Rev.
P. P. Underwood then invoked the blessing
of Deity, which he did In brief but earnest
and fitting petition. Rev. J. M. Dennison
delivared the address of welcome, in which
he portrayed the need Of practical education
on the farm. and was pleased to know that
the farmers were demanding recognition.
The address was full of thought and
sparkled with cordiality and we believe
voiced the sentiments of the citizens of
Wasco and of all Sherman county.
Prof. II. T. French then in a brief but
pointed speech, complimenting the farmers
of Eastern Oregon upon their broad fields
and fine prospects, paid glowing tribute to
the spirit and energy of this portion of the
state. He said the professors came not as
teachers but he hoped all would be mutually
benefited by the institute. His address
was closely listened to and loudly ap-
plauded.
The choir favored the institute with an
other song, "Where There's Will There's
a Way"
P.P. Underwood next read in clear
voice well written essay upon the topic,
"How far may the Farmer be Benefited by
Middle-men." Mr.. Underwood did not
think middle-men could be entirely dis
pensed with, but thought the profits of .
large class of such men were enormous, un-
inst. and should be remedied. He favored
the farmers cooperative plan, and cited
several instances where such plans had been
effective. He denounced the credit system
as being peruicious, fostering extravaganza
and inducing the farmer to sell his produce
before 1t was raised. Urged all farmers to
live within their means thereby becoming
able to deal direct or comparatively SO with
the manufacturer. Study and post up, be
prepared as far as possible to judge what is

farmers and fruit growers to spray their
trees Only valuable trees should be
raised. Keep orchards purged of all
refuse, dead limbs, etc. He also gave
some valuable instruction relative to cut
worms, Uireworms and other pests.
Thought they could be caught by potato
bait and killed in gardens; starving them
out was most effective on farm, in wheat
fields. etc. Potash salt is also an effective
remedy and costs very light. As to
poultry, said houses should be kept
clean, should be thoroughly renovated
with kerosene emulsion and whltewashed
once each year. Give chickens plenty
of ashes and dust in which to wallow

bother them. The many suggestions

The letter of Jackson & Perkins to q
nurseryman OF San Jose which was
pulished in yesterdays Chronicle, was
read with interest at the State Board Of
Horticulture. The letter makes threats
of inaugurating movement to have
the duties removed from foreign fruits
if the practice of destroying diseased
eastern trees is not stopped in this state.
This is to be done for the avowed pur-
purse of destroying California's iruit in
dustry, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
Chief Quarantine Officer Alexander
Craw, who is the one who does the de-
stroying of diseased trees or has it car
ried out, thinks the whole thing is a
bluff. He said: "If the eastern nurse
rymen had any decent trees TO send,
that is, trees that are free from all dis
eases or pests, there would be no trou-
BILE. But they have the yellows and
other fruit pests out there, and so every
load of eastern trees that comes here is
rigidly inspected. If the slightest trace
sent back to the shipper or destroyed.
Ii one of the trees infected with yellows
gets in here they can take off the duty
on foreign peaches, for there will be no
need of protection. California will
have no peaches to protect,
and she will never be able to
get rid of the disease. The eastern
nurserymen talk of running our fruit in
IL bob hAs
Well, there is more danger of running
California's fruit industry by importing
their diseased trees than by taking off
the tariff. We might recover from the
effects OF tampering with the tariff, but
when some of those eastern diseases get
here, the yellows for instance, they
come to stay"
Mr.. Craw has discovered new insect
that may or may not prove destructive
fruit pest. The insect lis of the jcerya
family and is a species of cottony
ecale. They came from Australia on
some ornamental trees, species OF Nor
folK island pine, that were received in
this city few days ago.
There were only four species of cot
tony cushion scale known. The new
insect, though very like the other
species, has some distinctive features.
They are much smaller and have a jet
black body. Down the center of the
back OF the insect proper runs ridge OF
yellow cotton, while the cottony sack,
instead of being corrugated, as in all
other icerya, is smooth and of gray
ish white color.
The fact that it belongs to the cottony
cushion scale family presupposes that
il is a destructive pest, but it may not
be one. Mr.. Craw is investigating it
with view to finding out if it is harm
less or not.

LOST HIS SON.
JEAN DELBAsTY'S QUEST IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
He Trusts His Boy to a Friend for Safe
= Keeping and the Friend Plays Him
Falss-A Strange Story.

Jean Delbasty, restaurant keeper of
209 Also street, Los Angeles, returned
home yesterday after fruitless search
in this city for his 11-year-old son, says
yesterdays San Francisco Chronicle.
Over year ago Delbasty had trouble
with his wife, from whom he had been
separated for number of years. She
was living in New Orleans, while he was
running butcher shop in Los Angeles.
The published story OF the runaway
marriage of Delbasty's eldest daughter
to printer of a French newspaper re-
vealed Delbasty's whereabouts to his
wife, and she came to Los Angeles to
prosecute him for unlawful cohabitation
with another woman. All that she was
after was the custody of her son Paul,
then about 10 years old. This the court
refused to grant her, and, although the
restaurant keeper was sent to Jail for
living with woman not his wife, he
was given the custody of his son.
Fearing that the boy would be kid
naped by his wife, Delbasty made up
his mind to send Paul away. Among
his boardersswa man named Joe
Blanchard, recent arrival from Mexico
and Central America. To him Delbasty,
then a prisoner in the Los Angeles
county jail, confded his son, bidding
him to take him to San Francisco and
guard him against Mrs. Delbasty and
her friends. Blanchard accepted the
trust, and after getting most of Del
basty's loose cash departed for San
Francisco with the child. Blanchard's
movements for several months are un-
known. He placed young Paul in the
Youths directory at 2030 Howard
street, meanwhile drawing from Del
basty $40 monthly for the boys keep
and also demanding little sums occa-
sionally for Paul's wardrobe.
One afternoon late in the spring of
last year, while Paul was at the public
school on Mission street, he suddenly
disappeared, and that was the last seen
of him anywhere. Blanchard had 81
room at the corner OF Clay and Stock
ton streets. For long time after the
boy had disappeared from the Youths
directory Blanchard drew the monthly
stipend of $40 provided by the elder
Delbasty, with the most punctual regu-
larity. One day, however, he informed
Mr.. Ray, his landlord, that he was 60
ing on long trip, but would return
soon. He left his valise at the lodging
house, but has never called or sent for
it since.
Delbasty, not hearing from either his
son or Blanchard, became anxious to
know what was going on, but he allowed
several months to pass before he made
a personal investigation in this city.
That Blanchard had something to do
with his sons disappearance he is sure,
and he suspects that Mrs. Delbasty may
have paid Blanchard to deliver the
child to her, as she was very fond of her
son.
Before leaving Delbasty notified the
police of the facts. 1t is believed that
he will soon proceed to New Orleans to
hunt up his missing child.
