Fruit Growing as a Business.

Editor LEADER:-My last letter
told the story of cooperation in
marketing poultry, eggs and other
farm products as actually carried
out successfully and satisfactorily
both in Denmark and France and
in several states of our Union. |
pointed out as essentials both quality
and quantity of products. In other
words there must be good stuff
and plenty of it for such union
or cooperation among producers
to be wise or even possible.
Whether in Lincoln county we
have got far enough along for such
organization can be determined
only by the people actually interest
ed. | suppose this can be talked
over, and movement set going,
when the Spring meeting about this
years Fair and Festival is held.
A short story on fruit growing
as a business enterprise will close
my letters foi this time,
Here we are on firm ground.
We have the soil, the climate and
enough eXperince to prove that the
fruit is right-that is,good enough
when properly grown, picked,
packed and carried to the railroad
depot-to take front place in the
great race of Oregon districts.
Don't forget our strong point
that we are not limited to any small
locality, but that orchards of COM
mercial size can be, and will be, and
have begun to be, set out in reach of
every station on the Corvallis and
Eastern railroad for its forty miles
of rails in Lincoln county.
Remember that Hood Rivers size
is given as II miles long and 3 to 4
miles wide, and this year yields
nea RI a quarter of a million boxes
OF apples. The growth of Hood
River--in respect of land in f'uiting
orchard and in quality of fruit per
tree in bearing-is not yet nearly
complete, But there is established
a name and fame that goes the wide.
world over, for perfection in quality
and absolute honesty in description,
as well as for business ike handling
and marketing of their SPLENDID
output. / have before me now the
constitution and bylaws of the
Hood River Apple Growers Urion,
also the Unions advice to the men,
bers on picking, sorting, preparing
for packing and delivering at the
depot for shipment, and the Unions
instructions to its packers-who are
sent from orchard to orchard to
pack the fruit. The demand of the
Union for perfect fruit is so minute
and so exac'ing that one wonders,
first, that the standard can be set
50 high, and second, that orchard
lists are found who not only try, but
succeed in meeting it, and who find
it profitable in the highest degree to
join the Union, and fill its require
ments.
But there is no magic about it,
Lincoln county can form its Union,
can find men to manage it, can
grow the fruit, can have it packed
and marketed ON these same lines.
Again the question comes: Have
we the will and energy to start and
then to work the Lincoln County
Apple Growers Union2

light especially that is usually left out
OF the calculation. This is one OF the
most serious mistakes when we stop
to think OF how cheap light really is
and how valuable it is as a germi-
eide.
MANY OF the diseases Of our live
stock may be attributed to germs. Tu-
berculosis is caused by specific germs.
The myriads OF germs that escape
from tubercular animals confined in
a barn are disseminated through the
stables. and sunlight is factor In the
destruction OF these germs. In fact
light destroys much germ life. Aside
from the health standpoint good light

Veutilators should be distributed
about the barn instead OF relying upon

idea should be to equalize the venti-
lation so that the entire stable admits

needs to have practical understand

the success and many times all of the

pendent upon the amount and quality
