ROGue y Rive y Fruit y Notes
Profitable the Industry Gathered From
Various Sources This Favored Section of OREGON

The fruit growers who reside i'll the
section tributary to Grants Pass have
come to the conclusion that thev re-
ceiyed more enumeration from the
home consumers than they got from
the New Workers or people in the
other large markets Of the country.
Here they have found ready sale and
they did not have to wait very long
to secure their pay. But it will
likely be altogether different next
season, when the carloads of the lus-
cious beauties are forwarded from this
locality.
A tree taken from the nursery
should be handled just as carefully
as cabbage plant, should be moved
to the orchard with the least possible
exposure, and carefully set. In nine
cases out of 10, where tree gives
poor results, the fault can be traced
back to the careless handling before
planting.
Prof. r. r. Turner, who is superin-
tendeDt of the city schools of Grants
Pass, recently purchased 10 acres of
choice orchard land, west of the city,
on Rogue River avenue and now
he has engaged Chas. Kingwell. the
we'll known horticulturist, and force
of men to plant the land to pears, one
half to be to Comice and the rest to
Bartletts. They are to be set out
hexagonal shape. This system gives
five rer cent. more trees to the acre,
with the additional fact that they are
all equally distant from each other
and present very attractive appear
anoe. Prof. Turner is taking lively
interest in the undertaking and he
will undoubtedly succeed in having
one of the prettiest orchards to be
found anywhere. He will thoroughly
cultivate and spray and spare
pains or expense 10 bringing
about the best possible results. The
piece of ground he has been fortunate
in securing is perfectly level and il
is the rich. loamy soil. Having made
a heavy investment he is more than
likely to see that this newly acquired
property is kept in the best Of shape.
In the course of 10 years time he will
probably be shipping his own fruits
to the big markets in car load lots and
when it is taken into consideration
that one car of Comice pears from
Rogue River this season brought the
magnificent sum of s4622.91 in the
New York market, while the Lowest
was $22i0 for Rogue River Bartletts,
ii will be seen that he evidently has
an eye to the financial returns which
will certainly come from his effori
along this line.

boxes of apples shipped there from the
State of Washington, it being dis
covered on their arrival that they
we're badly infected by the pest. The
apples in question were grown on Orcas
Island, which is just off the coast
little distance from Seattle. Some
months ago the bud moth made its ap-
pearance in British Columbia. having
been brought there supposedly from
Japan. When the moth was detected
on this continent measures were
taken to prevent the spread of the
pest, and it was not known that it
had reached the states until evidence
of its ravages were discovered in San
Francisco in the fruit sent there from
Orcas Island. Front street fruit men
say that SO far as they know the pest
has not yet been seen anywhere in
this state, but they incline to the be-
lief that it is but a matter of time.
despite all precautions, when the
nuisance will appear in Oregon. But
when it does come it will be vigor
ously fought.
Tomorrow sftf rnoon, at go o'clock
the members of the Grants Pass Fruit
Growers Association will hold an
important meeting, when new officers
for the ensuing year will be selected.
This organization is but in its infancy
aud yet already the good effects of
the fruitgrowers pulling together in
unison are being felt and much good
will come to those who thus stand
together. II propose TO stay by the
Association, even though l am the
only man to ship with it," said one
of the largest fruit growers in the Val
ley, in speaking of the organization.
If this feeling is prevalent to any
very large extent among tue members.
the ultimate success of the undertak-
ing is assured. for there can be no
question that the growers here, as in
other older and more noted fruit CEN
ters, can succeed in bringing up the
standard and raise the prices by this
united effort. Everything has to
have beginning and this is the try
ing period for the Fruit Growers As
sociation. If the members can man
age to weather the obstacles which
have been confronting them this year
and 60 at it in earnest again, they
may feel confident of at last gaining
their point.
An entirely new kind Of grape is be-
ing developed at the Government ex-
preferential station near Lodi, Cal. 4,
and Professor II. G. Husmann is of
the opinion that it will result in a
grape that will excel the famous
Flame Toksy, which has given Lodi
SO much fame. The new variety is
somewhat similar to the Tokay in tex.
ture and color, but is impervious to
rain, is much frIner aud can be ship
ped longer distances without damage.
1t appears to be a cross between a
Tokay aud Fererra aud is of an i'm
proved flavor. If properly developed
it is expected to become a most profit
able variety.

But the governments of many coun-

VOLUNTEER GUARDS DISBAND
Savannah Company Didn't Like Pro-
visions of the Dick Bill

Savannah Ga, Oct. 10.-The Sa-
vannah Volunteer Guards, battalion
of heavy artillery, which is more
than a hundred years old, has unan-
imously voted to leave the Nation
al Guard because OF the passage of
the Dick Bill at the last congress,
which required state militia to cor
respond in organization with the reg
ular army.
The battalion will continue as an
independent organization.
Washington, Oct. 10.-The dis
banding of the Savannah heavy ar
tillery has served to direct official
attention to the fact that SO far
during the present year no less than
seven companies of the Georgia mill
tia have gone out Of existence. They
are companies A. H. B. and D. 4th
infantry, company H, 2nd infantry
and company 7, third infantry.
All Of these disbandments follow
ed the official inspection by officers
of the regular army detailed for that
purpose, and the report Of the ad-
jutant general shows that not a sin
gle Georgia company or troop or
battery was found to conform to the
United States army organization and
in fact that, in a majority of the
states, there was lack Of conform
ity.
