INSPECTOR BURKE
GIVES GOOD ADVICE

Since beginning my work as in
spector | have now covered all of the
county with the exception Of small
portion of the southwest corner and
find the fruit growers, with a few
exceptions, ready to do all they can
to better their condition and EXTERN
mate the pests. Only in a few cases
has it been necessary to issue Off
cial notices. This fact will 60 a long
way to show the state of affairs in
orchard work in the county. In
some orchards l found blight and an
thracnose had gotten such a start
that the trees could only be saved by
severe mutilation of those infected.
The spread of blight in some cases
was caused by not burning the prun-
ings at once, but left on the ground.
This is such a deadly disease that on
| ly by using every care can we hope to
exterminate it, Now word con-
cerning wormy apples. Some of the
growers seem to be laboring under
the idea that 1t is not necessary to
spray as | requested them to from
month to month and as result
their fruit Is badly injected and can
not be placed on the market. If
they vii only spray according to di-
rections | will positively guarantee
that they will have clean fruit. For
example | quote one instance. A
man who has an apple orchard in
this county only sprayed once for
codling moth. He has about fifteen
hundred boxes OF apples, fine, large
fruit and not one can be placed on
the market because of codling moth
worms. This is utter folly. as the
price apples are bringing he has lost
a small fortune simply by not obey
ing instructions. The dormant sea-
son is now approaching and that is
the time to spray for scale and an
thracnose. To those affected wish
to ask that they spray promptly and
not put 1t off for a more convenient

those who go on these little journeys.
AS a rule their views are broader and
more In keeping with the object and
aim of the Commercial Club itself,
which is to build up the whole coun-
ty, and consequently they will seek
to become familiar with the oppor-
tunities for the employment of capi-
tai which they can, as body or in
dividually, recommend to others. The
opening of mines, and the cutting up
and improvement of ranches by the
planting of orchards and vineyards
is the work before us and to this
time can be profitably given. The
move is on by the railroad companies
to transfer from the east and locate
permanently 100000 people on the
Pacific Coast annually. Oregon, as
whole, Is getting its share but Jose
phine county has been overshadowed
each year by localities which have
been in the field early with their ad-
vertising matter. This is one of the
important things to be looked after
in the future. Then there is another
point which it will be we'll to consider
and that is the methods which are to
be followed in advertising. In the
past too little attention has been
given to this. The work has been
hurriedly done and as consequence
the best results have not been at
tanned.

Then there was a chorus, matchless
