4 sEoREr Of rHgIR succEsa.

The writer returned short time
ago from a trip through number 0f
western states IN which he investigat-
ed first hand the conditions under
which fruit Is grown ii the famous
Hood river, Rogue river and Yakima
valleys. A conviction which was forced
upon him was that II fruit growers IN
some other parts Of the country, espe
rially central and eastern states, were
as well organized. cared for their or
ehards as scientifically and painstak-
Inrly as growers IN the valleys mem
toned a long step would be taken TO-
ward putting fruit production on a
satisfactory and remunerntive basis
It Is true that soil and climatic condi-
ton especially favor the owner Of the
western fruit ranch. but these are only
partial factors III his success. as Is
demonstrated by the fact that some
who live III these favored districts are
making little or no profit because their
ranches are not being managed as they
ought 70 be, either through lack Of In
cIination OF ability, or both. A feature
which contributes much toward sue
cessful fruit growing in Oregon and
washington and some other western
states is the fact that the spraying Of
fruit trees 70 keep In check insect and
fungous pests is made compulsory by
state laws, which empower the state
fruit inspector or bis assistants to
spray or cut down any trees which the
owner cannot or win not spray These
regulations mean reduction Of I'm
sect and fungous pests TO a minimum,
the benefit OF which 10 the fruit grow
Ing interests being almost incalculable
Another respect III which the western
fruit growers have an advantage Is in
The admirable way in which they are
organized tn associations whose pur-
pose Is to promote the interest Of the
grower Ii d general way and IN par
licular to give him helpful suggestion
IN the growing Of his crops and also
IN the matter Of packing hts fruit and
