A sEcREr OF THEIR succEss.


The writer returned short time
ago from a trip through a number Of
western states in which he invesdgat-
ed first hand the conditions under
which fruit is grown In the famous
Hood river, Rogue river and Yakima
SRlleys. A conviction which was forced
Upon him was that If fruit growers in
Come other parts of the country, espe-
cfaliy central and eastern states, were
as well organized, cared for their or
chards as scientifically and painstak-
5Agly as growers In the valleys men
fioned a long step would be taken to-
ward putting fruit production on a
satisfactory and remunerative basis.
1T is true that soil and climatic condi-
zion especially favor the owner OF the
western fruit ranch, but these are only
partial factors IN his success. as Is
demonstrated 10y the fact that some
VINO live in these favored districts are
making little or no profit because their
ranches are not being managed as they
ought TO be. either through lack Of in
clInation or ability, or both. A feature
which contributes much toward sac.
cessful fruit growing In Oregon and
Washington and some other western
states is the fact that the spraying of
fruit trees 90 keep IN check insect and
fungous pests is made compulsory by
state laws, which empower the state
fruit inspector or his assistants 10
spray or cut down any trees which the
owner cannot or win not spray These
regulations mean a reduction Of in
sect and fungous pests to minimum,
the benefit of which 10 the fruit grow
ing interests being almost incalculabe.
Another respect in which the western
fruit growers have an advantage * ia
the admirable way In which they are
Organized in associations whose pur-
pose IS TO promote the interest Of the
grower IN a general way aud in par
tieular to give him helpful suggestion
IN the growing of his crops and also
i'm the matter Of packing his fruit and
finding a satisfactory aud reliable mar.

planned when II is said that IN these
sections fruit raising IL the chief and
primary business. and quite naturally,
having their all M stake. they take
sensible precautions 10 see that they
are not defrauded or hoodwinked at
any stage of the game. The care they
give their trees and the pains they take
In packing and marketing their fruit
may well be called the premium which
they pay ON an insurance policy which
guarantees them success, and they
don't wait until their orchards are bro
ken down and weakened by disease
before they take out the policies.

more acute than with human beings,
as is also their sense of place and d.
rection Familiar instances showing
this last faculty. which seems to tran
scend the faculties OF both sight and
smell, are the migratory fight Of wild
fowl, the everyday movement OF bees
from field to hive, the return of the
homing pigeon, the ability Of the
northern seal to find the narrow open.

hopelessly fnddled. These dumb brutes

United States government was appealed
to to take some action to relieve the
situation.
The terrible accusations against King
Leopold, the Belgian government and
the Kasai Rubber Company were met
with prompt action on the part of those
accused, though this action did not take
the form of any official move. Instead,
those responsible for the conditions in
the Congo resorted largely to press
work, striving to diseredit the American
missionaries and convince the world
that the tales they had told were ut
terly unfounded. The rubber company
also brought suit against Doctors Nor
rison and Sheppard for calumnious de-
nunciation. This suit has not yet been
tried, but the two missionaries have
been taken to Leopoldsville, over a
thousand miles from their mission, and
compelled to stay there for many
months awaiting trial.
