The fruitgrowers OF the vicinity of
Philomath met the last OF the week and
effected an organization to be known as
the Mary's River Fruitgrowers' Associa-
! tion. Prof. Henry Sheak, one Of the
NEST progressive horticulturists of that
section, is president and W. F. Caldwell,
secretary. Much interest is being taken
| in the matter by many farmers as hun
dreds of acres of trees and vines have
been set out the past two years, says a
dispatch to the Oregoniaa. The flavor
and color of apples raised in that section
are equal to the best obtained from Hood
or Rogue River, but 80 little attention
has been paid to them that there are now
practically no commercial orchards. The
object OF the association is to raise more
and better fruit of all kinds.

other thoroughbred bovines from the
Ladd farm and started on the long trip

same company there which has made
similar shipments from Benton county

given Benton county's blooded stock

Honolulu papers having given glowing
accounts of the amin ais previously ship
ped from here, stating that the bovines
were the finest ever seen on the islands
