EARNEST EFFORT TO CLEAN UP
DISEASED ORCHARDS
DESTROYS DISEASED TREES
Now Working in Grants Pass, but
viii Soon Go to the Coun-

Inspector Burke has started very
successful campaign on the infected
orchards of Grants Pass. Last week
he commenced the work and has been
averaging one orchard a day since.
These are, of course, small family
orchards but they are capable of
spreading disease in wholesale man
ner. There is work enough to keep
the inspector and his men busy for
some time and it can be depended
upon that the cleanup in each case
will be most thorough. Trees that
are curable, are pruned and sprayed,
but good share of them are so bad
ly diseased that 1t will not pay to
spend any time trying to save them.
This kind of cleanup has long been
needed and it will give general sat-
isfaction. When the time arrives
for pushing the work In the county
outside of the city, Mr. Burke in
forms the Courier, that he will go
over all parts of the county and do
the same kind of work that he is
doing in the city He will follow the
law strictly and under no circum-
stances accept further promises from
those who have not kept faith with
him in the past. When he reaches
a neighborhood, he will hunt the
ground over, and If diseased fruit
trees have not been sprayed, he Will
order his gang of orchard men TO
pull up or cut down and burn the
trees. This raid on diseased trees is
the one thing that has long been
needed. There were not few mer
who had an idea that they possessed
elouuence enough to persuade the
inspector to let the trees remain unit
next spring, but they are finding ou'
that the law will be enforced with
out further delay
1t is generally conceded that th'
fruit growers Of this county los
