SIX FRUIT GROWERS
MEETINGS TO BE HELD
Under Auspices OF State Agricul'
tural College and Fruit
Growers Union.

The orchards that can be seen 10 num-
bers in Josephine county in which the
trees are diseased and dying and the
fruit inferior and full of blemishes
and worms and covered with scale is
proof that the farmers of this county
are badly in need of education in the
art Of horticulture, that they may be
able to make their orchar is profit
to themelves instead of loss as SC
many are. With this end in view the
Grants Pass Fruit Growers Union
has arranged in connection with the
State Agriculture College to hold
a series Of farmers institutes and
fruit growers meetings in Josephine
county the first week in September.
To arrange and have charge Of the de-
tails for these meetings the Fruit
Growers Union appointed com
mittee Of three at each place.

places and date of meeting and thu

woould not be possible to get the
practical pointers on fruit Faisihe
that can be had at these meetings at
the cost Of but one days time spent
in attending. even though a person
should spend s25 for books and paper
aud spend 30 days in hard study
From the interest that is heing SHOWN
and with the effort that is being maue
by the Fruit Growers Union these
meetings promise to be the largest
attended of any farmer gathering ever
held in Southern Oregon. AT Grants
Pass. Provolt, and probably Murphy
Wilderyille and Lee district evening
sessions may be held in addition 10
the morning and afternoon sessions.
This matter will be decided IN the
near future by the local committees.
At Provolt, Murphy, Wilderville and
Lee district, basket dinners VIII Dc
had, so that farmers and their wives
NAV attend the full hours of each
session. Then it is the plan to have
social hour at noon that the far'
mers and their wives may know eacn
other better ard to talk over the
points they have heard in the meeting
A question box will be strong fea'
ture in the program.
How Hood River has become sc
famous as fruit district as tc
