WOODPILE FOR
OLD ORCHARDS

E. L. Smith, who went to Oregon
City last week to effect the organiza-
tion of horticultural society at that
place, returned Friday. The Oregon
City courier in speaking OF Mr.
Smiths visit says;
Temporary organization OF county
horticultural society was effected IN
this city yesterday, through the ell
orts of II. l.. Smith, president OF the
State horticultural Society, Professor
Cordley. Professor Kent and DIR. James
Withycombe, of the experiment sta
tion of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lepe, and County Fruit Inspector j..
II. Reid, OF Milwaukee, who have
been conducting series OF farmers
institutes throughout the county dur
ing the week. Wednesday morning
in the court house Mr.. Smith was the
principal speaker, and at meeting
which J. U. Campbell, secretary OF
the Board of Trade, was president,
and County School Superintendent u.
G. Zinser was secretary, the following
committee was named to draft by
laws for permanent organization 70
report later in the day: q. W. Swal-
low, o. w. Eastman, W. W. Jesse, H.
p. Carter and j. II. Lewellen.
Mr.. Smith gave an informal talk,
based on questions which we're hreo
at him by those interested. He start
ed by telling the history of the hortl'
cultural union Of Hood River, which
was organized l3 years ago. Last year
s6l, 900 worth of apples we're sold, and
total business amounted to $3.50, OOO.
Four years ago an apple growers,
union was form d there. The central
idea of the union is board OF nve
members, called board of control,
who absolutely control the out at OF
the district, giving bill Of sale e
the owner and selling according 70
their best judgment. The funda-
mental requisite Is fidelity to the
union. Clean boxes and uniformity l.
observed in packing apples and otheI
fruit. MI. Smith said that no maj
should pack his own apples but should
employ regular ptc cker for that pur-
pose.
'Clackamas county has immense
horticultural resources, said the
Ep0hHbFs Dub bu IulSo dppAo9f ~"
must 20 upon the higher benches
where the cold air rolls down like
water. The land must be well drained.
Do not plant on low rich ground.
Mr.. Smith said that the keynote ol
successful fruit growing was spraying,
and gave the following recipe for tht
San Jose scale, consisting OF ten
pounds of sulphur, Is pounds OF lime
and 50 pounds of water, to be used
hot, and one annual spraying is sutii
cient If well done. For summer
spraying arsenate Of lead should bt
used, aud three sprayings at least ar'
required each year.
hOld orchards should be thrown OF
the woodpile, !" said Mr.. Smith, IA
1t does not pay to renoyate them. =
The keynote of the discussion tina
followed was that education is need
cd. and that union should follow edu
cation. Mr., Smith, In concluding
recommended cultivation to preserve
the moisture.

of the weather bureau, issued today,
is as follows:
Although excessively hot and dry in
portions of the Middle Atlantic states
and Kentucky and Tennessee during
the forepart of the week ending July
"a, as a rule temperatures were ia
vorable. Showers delayed work and
caused some damage to crops in Vir-
ginia, portions of the lower Ohio, cen
trail and lower Mississippi Valleys,
Oklahoma and Texas, while rain is
needed in Tennessee, Georgia. Ala
bama, Kansas and generally through
out the plateau districts.
Favorable weather has caused

few exceptions the crop is in excel
lent conditions

The two boats that have been Dor
rowed from Col. Ruffner for use In
making the survey will arrive in
Louisville the latter part of the week
These boats are house boats and have
no machinery on them. They have to
be properly propelled by small steam
or gasoline tugs. The boats are
handsomely and comfortably equip
ped for Office work and lodging the
men. Every convenience for the men
can be found on them.
Two little tugs manned by two
men each can carry these boats up
aud down the river with ease and
dispatch, and at little expense. These

$4,000 apiece, whereas. II they were
equipped with running machinery
they would cost three or four times
that much. The operating expenses
would also be much larger

cording to the weekly crop bulletin

idly. but a considerable portion of the
crop yet remains to be threshel. and
which was further damaged In the
shock.
Oats are not all out. though they
have been ripe for two weeks or
more. Some of those cut, but not
threshed, have been damaged in the
shock; the crop will be fair, however,
Notwithstanding these drawbacks.
"Corn-Corn, though weedy, is
growing finely and is very promising,
except some damage was reported
from hail and washing rains.
"Tobacco-Tob is doing nice
ly, though weedy, and as yet no
worms have appeared. A considera-
bic damage by the excessive rains
was reported from the northwestern
portion of the stale.
apples and grapes continue rot
ting and dropping; peaches are ripen-
ing. but short crop. Blackberries
are plentiful The potato crop is ex-
cellent. Rye is good crop, and also
hemp Haying has been much inter
rupted by wet weather and the crop
somewhat curtailed or damaged"
