Mr.. Gully has a fine stock ranch

that is one of the best in Rogue River

Of beef cattle that he delivers each

adjusters and collectors, of the Fen
ton building, Portland, Oregon, are
earnestly striving to discredit the
stigma that is generally applied to
collecting agencies. This concern is
rapidly forging to the front ON the
Pacific Coast as reliable collectors and
1t has built up for itself an enviable
reputation for honesty and square
dealings with its clients.
The merchants Of the state have
long felt the need of company to
which they could give their overdue
notes and accounts for collection with
the assurance that all monies collected
thereon would be promptly remitted.
The company numbers among its
customers the leading business firms
Of Portland, and its policy Of making
no charge whatsoever unless collect
ion is made, seems absolutely fair.
This paper is satisfied that the
Company is reliable and we therefore
have no hesitancy In recommending

are in small orchards it would not be
profitable for the owners to install a
costly power spraying plant. But
these farmers are corn, wheat or stock
raissrs and not fruit growers and they
give their orchards no special care
and having no training in caring for
fruit trees they would soon lose their
orchards when the pests appear.
The San Jose scale, Goblin moth,
anthracnose. the blight and 20 other
deadly pests are spreading over the
East. The scale has made greater
inroads on the orchards of the United
States this year than ever before and
the other pests are gaining equally as
fast. The sequence to this devasta-
tion by pests is hat fruit raising " i'll
hereafter be carried ON in favored
sections where fruit does extra well
and it can be made a special in
dustry and the pests held in check.
The day for cheap fruit is past in
the United States as hard as it may
be on people of limited means and
that only the rich can eat pear or
an apple or have grapes or peaches on
their tables. The SO box had this
year for Hood River apples will soon
be the standard price for Newtowns
and Spitzenbergs and other choice
apples mall the fruit districts of the
United States. Rogue River growers
will get that price another year and
until the pests are exterminated in
the United States, which will not be
for years yet. the farmers in this VAL
ley will continue to get big prices for
their fruit. Thus it is that the pests
will really add wealth to Rogue River
Valley, provided the orchardists here
are able to keep them under control.
A well cared for orchard in full bear
ing will easily produce a Car load of
apples or pears. At the Hood River
price for aprles that would net the
grower $500 an acre and at the Med
ford price for pears s27OO an acre.
That beats $40 a ton for hay or 80
cents bushel for wheat. With this
certainty Of the wealth that is to come
to Josephine county by reason of ex-
changing our apples, pears. peaches
and grapes for the cash from the dis.
tant markets, it will make it profit
able undertaking for the farmers and
business men of the county to cooper
ate in securing the enforcement of the
state laws compelling all fruit tree
owners-to clear rtIefr trees OF pests ~
cut the trees down. With the pests
eradicated from Rogue River Valley
the fruit industry would make this
valley one of the most prosperous Sec
tions of the Pacific Coast.
