However, they can certainly raise
fruit in Southern Oregon that sur
passes ANYTHING l have found around
Fremont county. but there are several
reasons tnone of them impossible for
Canon) responsible for this.
In the first place, they have a state
law which prohibits any transporta-
tion company making delivery of a
shipment of trees. plants, etc, with
out having first secured from a fruit
Inspector, quarantine release, cer-
tifying that said shipment has been
duly inspected and found to be free
from any of the various horticultural
diseases. That county alone has a
chief and eight assistant inspectors,
all paid by the state and county, and
they live up to the absolute letter of
the law. As for the transportation
companies, | was for some time chief
clerk of the freight department of the
Southern Pacific Railroad at Medford,
and was there long enough to learn
they are educated up to show the prop
er amount of respect for said law, and
no quantity of gold could induce them
to ignore it.
1 saw entire car load lots of trees
inspected and portions discarded un-
til the part passing inspection could
have been carried away at one arm
load. OF course, the nursery shipping
the trees had to stand the loss. Again,
an entire car load would pass 0. X.
Every orchardist has to adhere lit
orally to the instructions laid down
by these inspectors, such as spray
ing certain varieties as many as five
times, just what week to spray, etc.
If a single tree in an orchard devel-
ops scale" or any other disease, an
inspector soon learns the fact and no
tifies the owner to destroy said tree.
and If no cognizance is taken of the
order, the inspector destroys it for
him, even occasionally entire orch
ards, and no gun racket goes with the
inspectors, as they are backed by the
entire state.
This seems hard on the owner. from
some viewpoints. yet in the end. he is
the one most benefited. and the re-
suit is that today. they have the finest
fruit possible to grow. They smudge.

waste in the way of excess strain upon
the tree in maturing the crop.
They wrap every apple, every pear,
etc, which costs them about ten cents
extra per box but which, at the same
time, nets them an extra 25c to soc
per box when sold. If you don't be-
lieve wrapping will increase the keep
ing and selling quality of fruit, just
try it on some common Ben Davis
apples and see the result. In the
first place, the corners of the paper,
when wrapped around the apple, form
an extra wad, which cushions be-
tween the fruit, and also takes up
considerable space in the box, there
by saving number of apples which
are usually worth more money in a
second box, than is the paper used in
the first box, also it keeps the air
away from the fruit and adds to it's
brightness.
However, could Canon once secure
such regulations and have them rig
idly observed, she could put out just
as good quality as Oregon; but there
must be absolute observatiin of such
regulations to make them successful.
Another thing, it is shame that
Canon is still struggling along with
such small city and surrounding
population when she has more natur-
al environs than Medford. except the
right kind of public spirit Medford
has a commercial club composed of
over 600 LIVE members, every mer-

Washington.-The reciprocal trade
agreement between the United States
and Canada, embodied in the recipro-
city bill that proved storm center IN
two sessions of Congress, passed the
Senate without amendment by a vote
of So to II. A majority of Republi-
cans voted against it. OF the So votes
for it 80 were Democratic and 2l Re-
publicans; of the 81 against, "a were
Republicans and 8 Democrats.
This action settled the whole Cana
dian reciprocity question SO far as
Congress is concerned, and save for
executive approval and the Canadian
Parliament's ratification, made the
pact the law of the land.
Congressional practice will delay
the afixing of the Presidents sigma
ture until the House is again In ses'
sion. The reciprocity bill, having or
iginated in the House, must be return
ed there for engrossment and for the
signature of Speaker Clark while the
House is sitting.
The Candian Parliament has not
vet acted on the agreement. With
one exception the provisions of the bill
as passed by Congress will not be-
come effective until the President Is
sues a proclamation that Canada has
ratified the pact. The exception to
this procedure is the paper and pulp
section of the bill, which 1t is an
nounced will become Immediately eff
fective when the President signs the
law.

President De La Barra is preparing to

Held Conference With Attorney Gen.
eraI Lyon-LesaI Questions Were
Discussed as to the situation-Too
Much Stress on Recommendation.

Columbia.-The hosiery mill at the
state penitentiary will not be abolish
ed.
The executive committee of the
state board of health came to the
conclusion that the board has no
right to order the board of directors
of the prison to abolish the mill, but
that the board could act only in an
advisory capacity.
This announcement was made fol
lowing conference with Attorney
General Lyon. The attorney general
discussed with the board the legal
questions involved and gave the opin-
ion that the board of health is the
sole advisor on all questions involving
public health. A written opinion will
later be sent to the board by the attor-
ney general The board of directors
of the prison several days ago refused
to abolish the mill after considering
letter from Gov. Blease demanding
this action. The chief executive had
already addressed letter to DIR. Rob
ert Wilson, Jr., of Charleston, the
chairman of the state board Of health,
in which he asked for a statement as
to the right of the board to take this
step. The meeting was for the pur-
pose of considering the letter from
the governor.
Several weeks ago the board OF
health made report on the sanitary
condition of the penitentiary. In this
report it was recommended that the
hosiery mill be abolished, that new
building be erected for the women
prisoners and that new sanitary ar
rangement be provided for the main
prison building. Little was said con-
cerning any of the recommendations
except that with reference to the
hosiery mill

officer and the secretary of the board
of health, said that in his opinion
too much stress had been laid on
the hosiery mill recommendation while
there were other recommendations
of as great importance. In the report
