ROGUE RIVER VALLEY ORCHARD NOTES
BY CHARLES MESERVE
ssorstary Grants Pass Fruit Growers Association

Tho season for thinning apples and
pears is ct hand and orchardists
should not delay this important work.
Due to the fact that there are no
heavy winds, or rain storms in Rogue
River Valley during the period that
fruit trees are in blossom every bios
som is perfectly pollenized and de-
velopes into fruit. If the crop is not
thinned the excessive yield 30 ex-
lausts the tree that 1t will only bear
every other year and then the fruit
is likely to be undersized and wormy.
for wherever two apules or pears
touch the Goblin moth Is able TO
eat into the fruit for the contact of
the fruit prevents the spray solution
from coating the apple at that point
with the poison that kills the worm.
Pears usually require but little
thinning for large pears are not 80
saleable as medium sized ones. Bart
let's that are over three inches in
diameter do not sell so well as q
susller size, though none should 90

unless on very rich land must be well
thinned as they are inclined to grow
small for the tree Is the most prolific
bearer Of the pears. The Comice.
being shy bearer seldom requires
thinning, though the tree must not be
allowed TO carry too heavy crop, for II
that is the case the fruit will drop
very badly just before picking time.
D'ADjou and other pears require con.
siderable thinning.
OF apples the Spitzenhurg requires
the closest thinning for this apple Is
sold only to the American trade aud
the American wants a big, red apple.
The best selling Spitzenburgs are the
3 and 31s tier apples. And in thin.
ming care must be taken TO remove all
fruit that 10 likely to be heavily
shaded for a light oolored Spitz will

The rule for thinning is one apple
TO fruit spur and on Newtowns in
full bearing no apples should be closer
than four inches and Snitzenburg aud
other varieties, six inches 10 as close
as apples should be on the twigs. A
large peach is the best selling so these
trees should be we'll thinned. And the
best formed fruit should only be left
in all kinds. The orchardist who de-
sires to increase the bearing capacity
of bis orchard will have his thinning
all completed within the next 10 days.

Annual Meeting Fruit Growers

The annual meeting of the Grants
Pass Fruit Growers association will
be held at the Codrt House in Grants
Pass on Saturday, June 6. The fore.
noon session will convene at 10 &c
sharp, and this period will b. devot.
ed to election of officers and the clos
ing up Of the business for the past
year and to considering q number OF
matters pertaining to the business OF
the Association for the coming year.
Among these will be that of deciding
on the design Of label for frnit boxes
and OF placing an order for labels. As
to whether to adopt the Hood River
special size box for packing Sitter
Spitz-nburg and other large apples
will be considered. The adoption OF
more stringent rules for picking grad.
ing and packing will be acted upon.
The afternoon session win con vene at
l 80 sharp. and will be devoted to a
general discussion of problems per.
tanning to the fruit industry.
Among the questions considered will
be the pruning of young trees aud the
control Of the borers, ersdicsting the
green and.black aphis and the spray ing
or Goblin moth. The thinning OF
fruit will also be considered.
Both the forenoon and afternoon
sessions are open to the public and it
is expected that all will attend who
are interested in the development of
tho fruit industry in Josephine
county. In no line Of industry does
experience cost 80 much Is in fruit
growing and the grower who attempts
to learn through his own efforts or to
blindly blunder along will pay dearly
in wasted effort, loss of money and Of
time. Ii is at the fruit growers
meeting that the alert, progressive
orchardist gains the knowledge that
will enable him to avoid the mistskes
and losses of other orohardists and to
learn how to profit BY the success Of
others. And there IL no class more
free to tell Of their successes and
failures than are fruit growers and to
give a helping hand to the beginner in
the industry.
