Notice to Fruit Growers.

You must spray your apple and pear
trees within the next 80 davs with a
liquid made by dissolving IL pounds
b 'ue vitrol in 100 gallons Of water. This
is the most effective treatment known
for all fungus diseases, including an
thracinose derived from anthrax, mean
ing carbuncle) which forms black spots
on the trunk and limbs, which soon de-
st roys the tree. Some of the best au-
thorities say fapgus diseases are more
destructive and more to be dreaded than
all inse ct life. Every orchard in Morrow
county must be cleaned up this season.
You have had ample time to accustom
yourselves to this work, by using the
blue vitriol spray now, and a thtr)ugh
spraying in February, or earlv March,
with lime and sui yhur, either the Rex
Spray or Niagara Spray made at Hood
River. This will make all trees clean
and healthy after the fruit sets. The
trees must be sprayed three times at in
tervss ef about 20 days with arsenate OF
lead. By d ing This we will have no
more wormv apples. We have not
sprayed nearly enough for the Goblin
VI )tn. I am 20, ,ng to devote the larger
part of my time with you during this
winter. | will show you how to prune
and clean your orchards up. You will
find it most profitable work. Our splen-
did success al the Umatlla- Morrow Co
Fair, at Pendleton should greatly en-
cour ge all of us. Now | am in deadly
earnest, this work must ba done as !
suggest have been most reasonable
with all of you. am determined that
Morrow county will make new recosi
this coming season, and our trees must
be in clean, vigorous condition, to get |
the best results, and cur people have
had to eat wormy trnit.long enough. |
am going to be with 'ou a great deal
Ibis coming year. and | shall gather
display while inspecting the orchards,
and | ask you to begin your plans now
TO grow choice vegetables and fruits for
ex bibition.
We should have street carnival in
Heppner for two or three days, before
the Pendletoo iair, showing our own
people what we have. Now | have to
depend largely upon your help in this
work. The work is so scattered | can't
possibly be present at all places while
spraying, but l can and will come to
your homes and cons ult with you, and
show YOU how 10 do. And if you don't
try to do anything, can prevent your
selling any unclean fruit, and destroy
your diseased trees. l don't expect any
,rouble in this way. | have been try

from our district inspector,

don held the attention OF the audience
for more than two hours with his mys-

Gus phases Of occultism. spiritism and

did some things regarded really as mar
velous, such as describing faces thought
Of and aftefward pointing out the per-
sons In the audience. He also apparently
read the mind without coming in contact
with his subject. His table lifting and
spirit rappings were conceded to be
cleverly done. whatever the explanation
may be. Other phenomena OF a like ma
ture were presented.
The closing feature OF the seance was
the reading and answering Of unseen
questions written by persons in the au-
dience. Many queries were propounded
and the answers given were manifestly
satisfactory to the writer's.
