Journalism of To-Day.

North American Review.
The versatile Emperor Of
Germany is the latest critic of
modern journalism. He de-
plores especially the lack of
preparation on the part of those
who engage in the business of
molding public opinion. To OBJ
tain recognition in the minis
try, the law, medicine. or even
dentistry, years of application
resulting 10 tangible evidence
of proficiency are required.
This, he thinks, is as it should
be, but in journalism, he asserts,
a lad of 90 may sally forth,
notebook in hand, make a col
lee ion of baseless rumors, and
forth with produce and publish
articles which may set the world
on fire. The Emperor is not the
only one who cherishes this de-
fusion respecting the method of
making newspapers Even in
this enlightened country. many
otherwise well informed persons
regard with a species of awe
the smart young man seeking
au interview. They behold in
him one who possesses myster'
ious power and authority. AS
a matter of fact, he is only a
CLEANER OF wisps OF information,
which in common with thous-
ands Of others find their way
into the winnowing machine.
The man behind, unseen by his
Ma jority and fellow-critics is
the editor. 1t is his intelligence
and judgement, hardened in the
most severe school of mental
development known TO civiliza-
ton, that determine what shall
or shall not be given to the
public. No other profession re-
qulres so perfect a combination
of undoubted Integrity, alert
IinteiicctulI&y aud dispassion-
ate m entail balance; nor, in this
country at any rate, does any
other calling possess these
qualities IN so high a degree.

Arrangements have been completed
bv the Grants Pass Fruit Growers
Union with DR.. James Withycombe,
director Of the State Agricultural Col
!. lege, for holding series of six
farmers institutes and fruit growers
meetings in Josephine county the first
week in September. The itinerary
will be as follows: Grants Pass,
Monday, September 3; Provolt, Tues
day, September 4 Murphy. Wednes-
day, September 5 Wilderville, Thnrs.
day, September g.; Lee School Honse,
Friday. September Z; Merlin Satpr-
day, September 8. At the meeting Of
the Fruit Growers Union this Satur-
day committee will be appointed
for each Of the above places to have
charge of securing halls and attend
ing to other details pertaining to the
institutes. It is tho plan to have at
the places where there are no hotels
to supply accommodations picnic din
ners and social noon hour. This
will enable many farmers to attend
from distance who would be unable
to 60 to their homes for dinner. Then
the noon time can be made pleasant
social time to all present and the
farmers can talk over the points made
in the discussions and also ask such
questions as they may desire of those
taking part in the exercises.
DR.. Withycombe writes Secretary
Meserve Of the Fruit Growers Union
that the College will be represented
by himself, Prof. A. B. Cordley and
Prof. @. /. Lewis and he will also
have E. H. Sheppard and A. ]. Mason

institutes. In the program for these
meetings DR.. Withycombe will speak

though Rogue River Valley was one
great orchard yet such is the growing
demand for the best grades of fruit
such as this Valley produces In the
East in Europe. in Alaska the Orient
and other parts of the world that the
farmers will always get good price
for their fruit. Fruit pests are the
most formidable obstacle that the
farmer has to contend with to make
his orchard profitable. Prof. Cordley
the entomologist at the Agricultural
College nd who is credited by the
Agricultural Department with being
one of the best posted men in his line
of work in the United States, will tell
the farmers how to recognize the var
ious pests and how to eradicate them

high compliment to the apples raised
here. OF the almost fabulous price
that the etxra fancy pack bring in
New York and Of their quality fully
justifying this price Mr.. Hill said the
following:
~ know you raise fruit here. be-
cause I have paid IS box for Oregoa
apples In New York. When Califor-
mia oranges were selling for - .
box, Oregon apples came at the prios
of just two California grange boxes.
Whenever we wanted apples In New
York. the Oregon brand always
seemed the best. l have sent them 10
Europe to friends on several ooca-
sions.
And It is fact that Rogue River
and Hood River are the only two SEQ
tions of Oregon that can grow these
- apples that are sought after for the
tables Of the New York millionaires.
Josephine county, owing to its ia
difference and slack methods has here
tofore raised few apples that wouA
grade as fancy pack and still fewer
that would GO in the $S class. The
soil and the climate are here and nov
that fruit growers union has been
formed to teach the farmers how te
grow good fruit and then get for them
the top market price for their ap-

fruit in which this Valley excells,
the orchards will rival the gold mines
