One of the big cherry trees of Ore
gon is on the James Martin farm, a
dozen miles south Of Corvallis. It's cir
cumference measurement 10 inches
above the ground is 10 feet and 4
inches, giving the trunk a diameter of
about 3A feet. The measurement is
the body proper, and no advantage is
taken of enlarged places made by limbs
or roots. Where the several limbs put
out from the trunk the circumference
is much greater. The spread of the
tree is so feet, and the height is pro-
portionate. The annual yield Of fruit
is about 100 gallons. The variety is
Black Tartarian, which was a popular
cherry with the earlier Oregon orch
ardists. The tree was set out in 1868,
or 81 years ago. In trunk and limb
IL is Of healthful appearance, and gives
no sign of its great age. This mammoth
tree, either in blossom time or when
laden with ripe fruit is worth journey
ing miles to see.-Corvallis Times.

THE HOP
GROWERS
MEETING
COUrad KrebS Organizing the
Growers of the Will
annette Valley

An interesting meeting Of representa-.
tive hop growers of this section was
held in the Lewis & Clark hall in this
city Tuesday afternoon, and preliminary
steps were taken TO form a hop grow.
ers' corporation.
The principal speaker was Conrad
Krebs of Salem, who opened by stating
that the purpose Of the meeting was
to ascertain whether the hop growers
were to continue to have others trans.
act their business for them, thereby
feeding and enriching a number Of
Spectators and middlemen as in the
past. He said he had a plan that he
wished to bring before the growers, to
be approved or rejected as they saw
ft. In brief, his plan was to form a
corporation Of the hop growers in Ore
gon. The state would be divided into
districts, and representation on the
board of directors would be based upon
the acreage, each 1000 acres being en-.
titled 10 one director. The directors
