The growing of strawberries can
profitably be undertaken around
Grants Pass on large scale. The
market for this fruit is in Portland
and the price for the early berries
viii be most remunerative. To in
sure against frost the smudge should
be used. There can be no more
profitable crop grown than the
strawberry but it requires close at
tention. Below we print the experl-
ence of strawberry grower of our
neighboring state.
&C. +. Wagner, of Satsop Wash.
has prize patch of strawberries
from which he sold this season 500
crates, at an average price of 50 a
crate, or a total of $500 for the
crop. There are two acres in the
patch and no special treatment was
given the plants save a small smudge
plant, which was brought into use
to prevent damage from frost, at a
cost Of about s65."

OLD ORCHARD PROBLEM
MUST BE SOLVED
'ShaIl We Clean Ii or Pull lt?' is
the Question to be Con-
sidered. a

Some large deals in fruit lands
have taken place in Josephine county
within the last sixty days and many
more are under way. These are
legitimate transactions and not
local speculation. The lands have
been bought as orchards or to plant
to orchards and in the year to come
not less than 10000 acres will be
set to apples, pears, peaches and
grapes. This added to many thou
sands of acres planted this year and
last will place this county on the
road to prosperity through its COM
mercial orchards and vineyards.
There is only one thing to be fear
ed and that Is the slipshod methods
of some men who own orchards.
There must be continuous warfare
on the pests. In this way only can
we succeed in entering the markets
with first-class fruit. The fault has
not always been with the men who
are trying to grow fruit, nor is it
with the letter of the law, but in
it's execution. The men charged with
the enforcement of the law fail at
times by allowing infested orchards
to spread disease to other orchards.
Prompt action on the part Of COM
missioners and inspectors will in all
cases remedy the existing evils. If
an owner fails to spray for pests or
cut out blight the inspectors duty
is plain and if he fails to perform it
he should be removed. Eternal vigil
ance is the only way to protect our
orchards. If we are to have our
fruit lands bring a fair price it is
absolutely necessary to have a
county that is clean, that is clear of
pests.
One source of disease is an old
family orchard which has never been
cared for. Diseases Of all kinds are
found on these Old neglected trees
such as scale, scab, green and woody
aphis, coding moth, anthracnose
and other diseases. The old orchard
is an abomination and it needs the
best efforts Of the owner and inspect
or. Under all circumstances it must
be cleaned or pulled, for it is a dis
ease breeder and a. disease spreader.
This is the best fruit country on the
face Of the earth and men who will
not keep their orchards clean have
little respect for themselves or thell
neighbors.

The Portland Evening Telegram
says that the Oregon peach crop is

and that as soon as the crop from the
southern part of the state arrives
the California peach will take second
place. There is no peach the superior
