FACTS, FIGURES AND
FANCY ABOUT FRUIT
Approves the Dust Spray.

II. T. Williams, formerly of Hood
River, but now engaged In fruit cul-
ture in the Ozark country, Arkansas,
is believer in this method of pro-
teeting trees. He says:
have used the dust spray a good
deal on my apple trees this season and
it sure is benefit. We have so much
dew that we do not need to carry
around water. We take the same dry
chemicals and lime in powdered form,
very fine, and after mixing, we have
a powder gun of great force and ca.
pacity, and we just travel from tree
to tree and cover as we go along with
a cloud of dust, and 1t seems to do
the work very nicely. | believe it
goes into the interior of thu tree more
effectively than the liquid spray.
do not suppose, though, that it at
taohes itself so close to the apple as
the liquid spray, but from my obser-
yation, In blooming time for spray
ing the blooms and holding the spray
in the end of the blossoms, it is as
good as any one could wish. We can
get over SO much more ground In a
day than by the liquid spray. IL is
rare to find worm able to penetrate
to the interior of the apple after thor.
ough spraying with the dust spray in
time of bloom, or Of falling of the
bloom.
In dry countries where there is little
dew this way of spraying could not be
satisfactory. 1t Ia certainly wonder
full how much good it is to spray ii
only for once in time of bloom. 1t
seems to save more than half the crop.
We have fungus troubles here that are
worse than elsewhere because this Is a
high pressure climate. Orchard and

SALMON LIABLE TO
BECOME EXTINCT

j. N. Wisner, Field Superintendent
of the u, S, Fish Commission, ii. g..
Van Dusen, Of Astoria, Master Fish
Warden of the state of Oregon, and IL.
l.. Kelly, who has been at Clackamas
Station, in charge of the work of col
lecting fish eggs there arrived in this
city on train No. 2 last Friday. They
had lust come from a visit to the
Rogue River whfre they had been
making an inspection of the fisheries
conditions of that stream.
In speaking of the Rogue River as q
depository for Salmon eggs Mr.. Wis.
ner said Formerly this river was
alive with fish during the spawning
season and millions of eggs we're taken
from it. This year however, we were
able to secure only 1000 eggs. In
TACT the attempt to collect eggs there
this year may be looked upon as a to-
tai failure.
When asked what the cause of these
conditions we're, Mr.. Wisner said
"For the most part 1t is caused by
the Instructions which have been
placed across the river in the way OF
dams. There are great many I'm
provements going on in the Rogue
River Valley and the stream Is full of
sawdust, driftwood and timber refuse
of all kinds. Salmon will not spawn
anywhere but in clear water and for
this reason they have gone elsewhere.
While ! am not opposed to improve
ments of any kind | would like to ! :
press the fact on the general public
that IL more care is not exercised IN
protecting the spawning places OF this
valuable fish the time is not far dis
tant when it will become very scarce
in this country The salmon like
many other fine food fish is migratory
and will deposit its eggs In the most
convenient places during the spawn
ing season. Unlike other fish it
spawns II the fall instead of the
spring. When the natural avenues
are closed for this purpose Il will geek
other localities and soon become ex-
tinct. This is why the White Salmon
and the Little White Salmon rivers
contain so many salmon eggs. As yet
there Is nothing to hinder the fish
from ascending these streams and this
year we took 1000, 900 eggs from the
former river and 100000 from the
latter.
Mr.. Wisner also said that the mum
ber of eggs taken from these rivers
this year was less than that usually
taken and that the Little White Sal
mon often yielded Is, 900, 600 eggs and
sometimes 20, 900, 600. The laws in the
different states he says conflict with
those of the government and for this
reason it IL difficult to make proper
enforcement of them. This is also
true of Alaska as well as the United
States where the government has full
charge In these mat ters and that II the
in that country do not
stop serving their selfish interests the
salmon they will become eXterminated
and the fishing business ruined.
Mr.. Kelly, who is In charge of the
state hatchery at Little White Sal
mon, will ship 3,000,000 of the eggs
taken in local waters to Salmon River
and 5000, 900 TO Ontario, Ore.

The Oregon Annie.

Oregon will produce this year over
500 carloads of apples, which will find
their way into every market in the
world.
Seventy eli yht years ago on next
Thanksgiving day, the first apple seed
was planted in "old Oregon.
IL was Il romantic and fascinating
event, aud how il has lived and
thrived and spread over the state and
carried its fame over the void
At a timer in London, in the win
tor of 1925 q lady at the banquet board
dropped three or four apple seeds in
to the pocket of waisteoat worn by
George Simpson, governor of the
Hudson Bay company, who was soon
to return to Astoria, then called Fort
George.
She said to Simpson to plant the
seeds In this Wilderness and think OF
her when he did it.
Simpson came across the Atlantic
to Montreal, across the wild American
continent to Fort George and thence
to Vancouver, the newly founded
home of the company on the Colum.

At "a dinner at Vancouver on the
day of the fall banquet of 1927, after
the summer hunting and trapping was
over, day corresponding to the pres
ent Thanksgiving day, Simpson re-.
called the jest of the London friend,
and in ransacking through his old
waistcoat pockets, found four apple
seeds, and on that evening, Bruce,
DIR. McLougnhlin's gardener, planted
the first apple seed in the old Oregon
territory on the banks of the Colum.

One tree grew from the tiny seeds.

And, when finally, few years al
ter, 1t blossomed and bore just one
beaming apple upon its bending
limbs, how that precious prize was
guarded and cherished by Bruce.
1t was in the fall of 1870 that the
one little apple, the first to ripcn on
Oregon soil was sliced in TO thin bits
and each trader, voyager and visitor
at Fort Vancouver given just taste
of ii.
From this beginning the great or

Annle Cron of 1NOa.

The prices paid for apples this year
are likely the high water mark for this
fruit-for many years past, at any
rate. In New York prices for winter
fruit have ranged from 81 80 per bar
rel to 81. GS per barrel, the latter Price
having been paid in Orleans county.
The yield for New York state ranged
from five per cent of last years crop
to 80 per cent of that crop; the high
est report was from Nassau county
Berkely county, w. Va, had very
large apple crop, OF fine quality, and
prices we're high. Growers have had
a most profitable season.
In New York state winter apples are
in hands of dealers. Grove $ will
not have to take the risk of handling
the fruit-and there is certainly great
risk, considering the high prices at
which much of this fruit was bought
Colorado growers have sold about
all their apples. Prices ranged from
sl,35 to 81, ,65 per box Of 90 pounds
1t is said that President Coburn of
the Colorado State Board of Horticul-
tute, received about Sl2,0OO for his
apple crop.
Poor old Ben Davis Apples of this
variety brought only 81. 40 per barrel
in Northwest Missouri orchard this
year. The fruit was very fine in qua.
lity, ana we predict that the man who
bought these apples viii not lose on
the transaction. The apples we've re.

In company with his cousin, Arthur

in a large freight wagon, Something
in the back of the wagon was not

of drivers the horses we're turned a

The issue is now made up, and it is
to be hoped that the subject will be
sifted until the whole truth is made

On the face of the matter it is pre-

lievable that one servant Of the State
Department should make the charges
it is said Mr.. Bowen has made against

Still we love the town and all of
