mon mistakes are failing to shade
The trees and to work the soil i'm
mediately around the tree. A good
practice is to plant corn among the
newly set trees. The corn not only
makes a fine shade for the young
Tree, but provides food for some in
sect pests that would otherwise at
tack the trees, The chief benefit,
however, is the shade.
A tree should have as good care
as cabbage or a potato, The soil
should be kept fine and well stirred
around trees through the entire Sum-
mer. have been in many young or
chards when the centers between the
rows were kept well cultivated but
the soil close to the tree was baked
hard. The work close to the tree is
more important the first year than
Keeping the centers cultivated.
1t has always seemed to me that
the foregoing points are not suffi-
ciently emphasized in horticultural
literature and | am convinced that
If they were universally practiced the
loss among young trees would be
very small.

CAUSES THAT KILL
YOUNG FRUIT TREES
(By George H. Parker Grants
Pass, in Rogue River Fruit
GrOWpr

(By George H. Parker, Grants
Pass, in Rogue River Fruit
Grower.)
Anyone selling nursery stock is
naturally interested in having it live
and do well. AS | have been SELLING
fruit trees for a number of wears 7
nave given a great deal of attention
to the subject of caring for newly SET
trees and trying to find out why so
many trees that look perfectly fresh
and healthy when delivering to the
customer, fail to live.
One of the first things | noticed
was that the loss is much greater in
proportion among the small growers
than among the planters of CONNER
cial orchards where they make a
study of the subject of fruit growing
or employ competent help in setting
and caring for the trees.
The most common causes for trees
falling to start are, I believe. to be
setting in ground that is too wet.
and setting too deeply. Nursery
stock does not get dormant enough
to dig up and to ship until about the
last of November and about that
time good deal of Rogue River
valley land is too wet for tree SET
ting. In that case the trees should be
heeled in light, dry soil and kept un-
til the ground is in shape.
All well posted horticultural au-
thorities agree that they should be
set about two inches deeper than
they were in the nursery to allow
for the settling of the loose soil, but
have pulled up may dead trees that
were eight and even ten inches deep
er than that Six inches is a very
common depth to which trees are
set. Trees set as deeply as that can
not thrive as the roots are smother.

PROFESSOR 0'GARA
STATIONED In VALLEY

The secretary of agriculture has
ordered Prof. O'Gara to the Rogue
River valley for work among the or
chards of the district. His office will
be in Medford, from which point he
will visit the various sections of the
valley This valley is very fortunate
to secure the services of this able
fruit expert and he will be of untold
advantage to the whole section.
The fight that the orchard men
of this valley havS before them is
against the pests of the orchards and
their only hope is In carrying the
war to total determination, and un-
der practical direction of Prof.
lO'Gara this can be accomplished, but
not without the active cooperation
of every orchard man in the whole
length of the valley. The secretary
of agriculture, fortunately under
stands the importance of the war
which Is now on and of its value to
the fruit men OF the country With
the pests exterminated this will be-
come the most profitable fruit sec
tion IN the world and It will pay or
chardists to drive out the blight, the
scale. the woody and green aphis, an
thracnose and fungus diseases Al
that is needed now is an army o
workers, and II the orchard men will
enlist under the banner Of Prof
O'Gara the victory from season t.

Action That Would Count.

"The meanest Of the trusts" as one
newspaper aptly calls the sugar trust,
has been also one Of the chief bene-
ficiaries of high protection, one of the
greediest of all the clamorers for pub
lie favors, one of the most active and
malign forces In national affairs. The
men at the top in this business cannot
all have been officials of that COM
pany; some of them must have had
high places In the service of the re-
public. We are not particularly anx-
ious to see congress name a commit
tee of investigation, though we do not
object to 1t. There is another course
of action that will be simpler and
twice as effective. Let congress strike
out of the tariff law the differential on
refined sugar, and 1t will accomplish
more for decency at once than it
should expect to see accomplished by
a dozen committees of inquiry. That
differential was put there and has
been kept there by the influence and
for the benefit of this same thieving
corporation which, not content with
stealing according to law, is now
proved to have been for years stealing
also against the law-against the law
which Is so largely Of its own making.
