JUDGMENT BY STATE
INSPECTOR NEWELL
Only Few Instances OF the Law Re
quiring Spraying Not Being Observ-
ed In Northern Portion OF County
Mr.. Newell Says Vineyardists Make
a Mistake in Not Renewing Vines
Oftcner, as Quality Of Fruit Is AZ
fected Always.

Howard Evans, fruit inspector at
Milton, is one OF the most efficient
officers in the state, and complaints
made regarding his negligence were
found unwarranted," said w. x. New
ell, chairman of the state board OF
horticulture this afternoon.
Mr.. Newell returned from Milton
last evening after having visited that
section yesterday in company with
Judd Geer, member of the commission
for eastern Oregon. They were call
ed there to investigate complaints
/, that Inspector Evans was not properly
enforcing the rules regarding spray
ing for San Jose scale.
According to Mr.. Newell, there are
perhaps n dozen cases in the valley
where the spraying orders were not
obeyed. However, the definquents
were men who had promised the in
spector to spray and then failed to
do so until II is now too late for this
season. AS the trees are now in leaf
spraying will have to be deferred un-
til fall, when those who have been
negligent will be required to spray, or
the authorities will do so at their ex-
pense.
In Mr.. Newell's opinion there will
be a good fruit crop in the Milton
section this year in spite of the dam
age inflicted by the freeze. He says
the prunes are in splendid shape, as
Is also true of the strawberries on the
new vines.
New Vines Necessary.
"But the Milton people are making
a mistake" declared he, "in not set
ting out new vines often enough.
Nothing but small berries can be
grown on old vines and II they wish

ton people should stop keeping their
vines so long. They are now placing
berries on the market under their
brands that are not creditable to
them. In Hood River and the other
good fruit sections Of the northwest
the growers are careful not to place
such fruit under their own name, but
instead sell 1t for what they can get

OF course they can get .$25 or more a

nurses. A great many young women who
become nurses marry before they have been
in the ranks many years. Though complete
figures have not as yet been complied. from
q considerable mass of data the conclusion
Is drawn that nine out of ten trained nurses
marry during the first seven years OF their
occupation as such.
When a pretty young woman speaks Of
trained nurse, she is picking out winning
card in the game Of matrimony. Statis-
tics show that she has an even chance to
be married within four and a half years
and that she has one chance in eight OF be-
coming the wife of a physician. The
chances are five to one that within ten
years she will marry one OF her patients.
The importance of these figures from the
viewpoint Of the sociologists is obviously
great. Matrmony, it seems. is one of the
principal causes for the scarcity of nurses.
There is always a demand for desirable
young women to take the places of the
nurses who leave the profession for domes-
tic life.

rudimentary, and wages ranged from eight
to twelve francs month, sum not in the
least generous. .'- - 80
The Crimean war caused a triumphant re-
form of field hospitals by Florence Nightin-
gale, who, in 1858. said the last word con-
corning the essentials Of nursing Her wis
dom and nobility of purpose set the ideal
standard. both practical and theoretical.
Soon after. the care of the sick became
profession for normally intelligent women
with their livings to make. and soon the de-
mand for such women equaled the supply.
In this country. however, trained nurses
were but little In evidence up to 1873. Men

for October 0. 1776 that the wages Of
nurses be augmented to a dollar week"

revolutionized the care Of conta gious dis

The advantages a girl receives In taking
up nursing as a profession are many. The

her patient. to say nothing Of the regard in
which she Is held by the attending phyei-

Girls are seldom taken by hospitals as
student nurses under the age OF twenty
one. They must have had fair educa-
ton, and their home surroundings must be
of the best. After they are accepted, they
get, beside their keep, a small sum each
month, usually not over eight or ten dol
lars. This allowance Is given until they
graduate, when 1t Is increased to from $50
to S75 a month, according to their grade.
